Every otter needs their own corner. One board. One solution. No guessing required.
Pawdoku is a clean, minimalist Queens-style logic puzzle built around a simple promise: every puzzle has exactly one correct answer, and you can always reach it through pure deduction. Place one otter in each row, each column, and each colored region — and make sure no two otters ever touch, not even diagonally. The moment you place the last otter, you'll know you earned it.
No timer. No pressure. Play offline anywhere.

This game is a lot of fun. I really enjoy playing this game. You have to really concentrate and use your brain. I started playing this game because I’m 75 years old and all of a sudden I’m waking up feeling like I have a cloud in my head, I play this game and I feel better about when I find him with 1 try. 😄

I really love this game and my friend and I both got into it after looking for fun games! The otters are so cute! I think the only problem I have with the game are the settings… my friend and I both this game but our settings and layouts are completely different. I was also able to do dark mode before updating it, then after I’m unable to update.. I’ll still keep playing, but I wish that the settings and layouts allowed for more customisation. Also there are so many ads!! (That’s okay though, just thought I’d mention it)

Easy, logic game but…

My only real issue is the false statistics it spits out at you. I solve a daily puzzle it and it always says I’m in the top 2 percent. I intentionally waited just to see what it would do. I’ve finished some daily puzzles in less than 30 and it says I’m 1.1. I finished one in 10 minutes it says I’m 1.1. I fail at level 305 it says only 10 percent of players make it past this level. I fail 307 a couple minutes later it says only 16% of players make it past this level. I don’t need the app to inflate my ego if it’s false.

Thank you for your candid feedback. We completely understand why seeing inconsistent or seemingly fixed statistics is frustrating, especially when testing them across different solve times. Transparent and meaningful stats matter, and we appreciate you pointing out these discrepancies in Pawdoku.
Fun but ads are awful

Ive really enjoyed the game so far but what I’ve noticed more frequently is the ads will get stuck on screen without an option to exit back to the game. I’m having to exit/close the game and restart. If it were just an every now and then occurrence I wouldn’t think anything of it but it seems to be happening more frequently and is turning into a deterrent from wanting to play the game.
