PullDoku joker placing cards on a 4x4 grid

Poker Hands Meet Sudoku Rules

PullDoku is a hybrid card puzzle: place cards on a 4×4 grid to score pairs, straights and flushes — then survive Sudoku Mode, where no suit can repeat in a row or column. Defeat the Boss, earn Champion Cups and climb the global ranking.

54 Cards 4×4 Grid Global Ranking 13 Shop Jokers

Core Features

A card game, a puzzle and a roguelite campaign — all on one 4×4 grid.

Poker Hand Scoring

Place one card per turn on the 4×4 grid. Complete pairs, triples, straights, flushes or four-of-a-kind in any row or column to score — high cards (A, J, Q, K) add bonus points to the combo.

Sudoku Mode

The advanced mode adds one brutal rule: the same suit can never repeat in a row or column. Every placement becomes a puzzle — and Ghost or Shield Jokers become your best friends.

Campaign & Boss

Four phases with rising score targets, 12 turns each and 3 hearts per run. The final Boss deals you only 2 cards per hand — beat it to collect the entire run's score as Champion Cups.

Joker Shop

Spend Champion Cups on 13 Jokers across Specials and Boosters: multiply your next combo, freeze a turn, draw the most useful card, shield an invalid move, or revert your last play.

Global Ranking

Sign in with Google and every Boss you defeat adds to your monthly total. Live podium, top places and your own position always visible — scores reset on the 1st of every month.

Music & Customization

9 looping music tracks (5 free, 4 unlockable with Cups), full volume controls, vibration, light and dark themes, and guided tutorials for both modes. English and Español supported.

The 13 Shop Jokers

Specials bend the rules, Boosters push your score. Every Joker has its own art, price in Champion Cups, and a burst animation when used.

Specials Boosters

Champion Cups

The in-game currency — earned only by defeating the Boss, spent on Jokers and premium music. No real money, ever.

How you earn them

Defeat the Boss

Cups are paid out once per run — when you beat the final Boss. You receive the full score accumulated across all four phases, in a single payout.

Every Phase Counts

Phase scores accumulate toward the Boss payout — but lose your 3 hearts before beating it and the entire run's score is gone. Risk and reward.

Daily Victory Streak

Each win on the same day raises the next run's score targets by +20 — higher difficulty, but a bigger Boss payout when you conquer it.

What you spend them on

  • 80–120 Freeze, Surprise, Magnet & Wildcard Jokers
  • 120–150 Ghost, Shield, Recharge & Repeat Jokers
  • 150–200 Strength, Turbo, Double & Multiplier Jokers
  • 1 200–2 000 Premium music tracks

No real money. Every Cup is earned by beating the Boss.

The Campaign

Four phases, twelve turns each, three hearts per run — and a Boss that only deals you two cards.

01

Clean Table — 120 pts

The warm-up. Learn the deck, build your first combos and bank an early score toward the Boss payout.

02

Pair Debt — 140 pts

The target climbs. Pairs alone won't cut it anymore — start hunting straights and triples across rows and columns.

03

Region Audit — 160 pts

The last stop before the Boss. Manage your discards carefully and save your best Jokers for what comes next.

04

The Pairless King — 200 pts

The Boss deals you only 2 cards per hand — one to play, one to discard. Beat it and the entire run's accumulated score becomes your Champion Cups.

Hearts per run ×3
Turns per phase ×12
Daily streak target +20
Boss payout ALL

Lose your 3 hearts and the whole run's score is gone — the Boss pays everything or nothing.

Two Game Modes

Same board, same deck, two very different puzzles. Pick your jester hat.

PullDoku normal mode jester hat

NORMAL

Balanced challenge, medium matches, accessible strategy. All 7 hands available — perfect for learning the combo engine and farming your first Cups.

PullDoku sudoku mode jester hat

SUDOKU

Higher challenge, longer matches, one merciless rule: no suit repeats in any row or column. Flush is off the table — Ghost Jokers become gold.

Both modes share the campaign: 4 phases · 1 Boss · 3 hearts

Soundtrack & Effects

9 looping tracks — 5 free, 4 premium unlockable with Champion Cups — plus 15 sound effects tied to every action in the game.

9 tracks · premium ones unlockable for 1 200–2 000 Champion Cups
