The Number One Sudoku CD-ROM for the nation’s number obsession
For Immediate Release July 2005
Feeding the nation's obsession for the biggest puzzle phenomenon since the crossword, Focus Multimedia releases Infinite Sudoku for PC CD-ROM at the end of July 2005.
Carol Vorderman's "Sudoku Live" prime time TV program on Sky One last Friday highlighted just how much this addictive number puzzle has captured the imagination of Britons from all walks of life; from cabbies to consultants, from housewives to hauliers. Two Sudoku puzzle collections are firmly entrenched in the Top 10 best-selling book chart, with even more on the way. Love it or loathe it, Sudoku is here to stay.
Up until now, Sudoku addicts have been getting their daily dose from books and national newspapers...but now there's no need to wait for tomorrow's edition. Infinite Sudoku, the new PC CD-ROM from Focus, is the only Sudoku product you'll ever need!
Packed full with unlimited challenges, Infinite Sudoku will keep even the most avid puzzle buff occupied until the end of time! The software will generate a different puzzle each time, providing extraordinary value for money, as you'll never get to the point where you've run out of puzzles to do. You can just keep on playing...and playing! At just SRP £9.99, Infinite Sudoku is unbeatable value for money.
Eliminating excessive erasing and messy mistakes, Infinite Sudoku removes the need for pen and paper by allowing players to test their answers on the computer screen with a simple click-and-enter method. For when you're on the move and a PC isn't accessible, you can print the puzzles - along with the correct solutions if required - and take them with you.
Difficulty levels range from easy to downright devilish, to really challenge your Sudoku skills. If you're struggling, why not request a hint or reveal the solution to a particular square - or the entire puzzle! On the other hand, if you're stuck but don't want to cheat, simply save your puzzle and try again later. Maybe you've attempted a puzzle in the newspaper and just can't wait for the solution...put yourself out of your misery and enter the numbers into the Puzzle Solver to view the correct solution!
Make your gameplay even more challenging by timing how long it takes to solve a puzzle and then try and beat your best time. Or challenge the software and complete the puzzle within the suggested target time. You can even share the Sudoku fun with friends and family by emailing them your creations.
Key Features include:
- An infinite number of Sudoku puzzles to solve
- Up to 4 difficulty levels from easy to devilish
- 4 grid sizes (9*9, 8*8, 6*6, 4*4)
- Print puzzles and take them anywhere

- Easy-to-follow instructions will have beginners playing in minutes
- High Score Table to record your accomplishments

- And much, much more!
Craig Johnson, managing director of Focus Multimedia, commented; "We're delighted to be releasing a comprehensive, fun-packed product that will provide an endless supply of unique Sudoku puzzles. With the ability to play both on-screen and off, you'll never need to buy another Sudoku product again."
