What Makes Trestle – The New Sudoku Stand Out
Drag between circles to create a bridge. Each circle needs some amount of bridges to fill. Fill all circles to win.
Trestle is a simple, beautiful game with hours of mind-bending puzzles. Based on Hashiwokakero, a Japanese puzzle similar to Sudoku, Trestle adds a delightful, modern interface and updated rules. If you’re a hardcore Hashi player, you’ll find all the puzzles you need in Traditional mode.
Features:
- Full challenge mode packed with 700+ levels. Beautiful and fun colors and animations mean new levels are never boring.
- Not challenged enough by challenge mode? Play unlimited in Arcade mode.
- Play on the go and at home with progress that syncs across your devices through iCloud.
- Adaptive user interface works great on all iPhones and iPads, including iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and iPad Pro.
- Built in timer to race the same level with your friends in Arcade, or challenge yourself to improve your time.
What people are saying:
- "Really brings the nerd out in me. Few levels in and I'm in love with this game already!"
- "Such a simple concept, but so addicting"

Community Insight:
Recommend for Sudoku lovers. 2 things that bugged us: the solutions to the puzzles can be non unique, and that the precision required when drawing bridges makes it hard to do speedsolving.
Great game but every level pack and the game itself seems a little over priced.
The modern sudoku. A fun and challenging mental puzzle.
A game that is simple to learn, very clever and tons of fun. Its just the right amount of challenge for a short breaks throughout the day.
This game is a lovely puzzle game that works with patterns and strategy. It is competitive only if you choose to make it so, and allows for that with a clock on each level and many levels to advance to or revisit. It is very rewarding.
This game is addicting. We played levels at the airport and almost missed our flight.
Trestle has enough levels to keep us occupied and we like the modern/minimalist graphics. The levels start out easy but it didnt take long for us to end up with one unfilled circle at the end, scratching our head. Would recommend for anyone who likes puzzles.
