How to Play

This is a standard Sudoku puzzle. In order to solve the Sudoku puzzle, you must use all 9 candies in each square, row, and column. In any square, row, or column, you cannot use any candy more than once.

If you are unfamiliar with solving Sudoku puzzles, I'd suggest searching the internet on how to solve them before attempting this puzzle.

Please do not say that this puzzle is impossible to solve. It may be difficult, but it is possible and it does have a proper answer.


Rules

1. You must complete the Sudoku by yourself. No exceptions.

2. DO NOT post or share your Sudoku or any answers anywhere on Sylestia!!! You will automatically be disqualified from all Forum Games if you do this and you will make me very unhappy!

3. You must submit your completed Sudoku using the candies. You cannot replace them with numbers. Failing to use the candies will disqualify your entry.

4. After completion, you must upload your Sudoku to an image uploading site, such as http://imgur.com. If you choose to print out the Sudoku, then you will need a way to scan the completed Sudoku back onto your computer and then upload it to an image uploading site.

5. After you have uploaded your completed Sudoku, send a PM to OfficialGames with your completed Sudoku image and title the PM "Summer Festival Sudoku".

6. Please DO NOT PM me your Sudoku!!! I will ignore it and your entry will NOT be counted. Additionally, please also do not PM me asking me to check your Sudoku to see if you've gotten it correct or if it's been sent. The onus is on you to follow the rules and submit your entry correctly. Feel free to ask any questions regarding the rules directly here in this thread.

7. The due date for submitting your entry is by the end of the 2022 Summer Festival.

Time to play! :)

Sorry for the ping but the larger image appears to be inaccessible. All I get is the tab pictured below and a white screen.

This was so difficult but I think I got it in the end! Having an iPad made it so much easier haha

I PM'ed originally but just in case (& without giving away any actual solutions)-
this puzzle is broken in that there are multiple answers.

If this was intentional and the mods have multiple answer keys then this disclaimer is a moot point. But given that all the past sudokus I was able to find only had one possible solution... might want to wait for confirmation lol

So myself and a few others have found multiple correct solutions to this puzzle.. is it supposed to have multiple right answers or was that a mistake?

Same thing is happening to me as well.

Sudokus usually always have multiple correct solutions, whenever I am grading the Sudoku games there are always multiple correct solutions that people send it.

And I will work on fixing the image so that it's clickable.
