Colorku Front

The Colorku Story

Colorku is the original 'Sudoku in Color' wooden board game.

Our family started making Colorku in 2005, by drilling holes into old wooden planks and hand-painting hundreds of wooden balls at our cabin near Lake Michigan. Now, ColorKu is played by many as a fun, challenging pastime and has been used as an educational and mental strengthening tool in schools and hospitals around the world.

Colorku can be played alone or with others. Use puzzle cards to set up the board and deductive reasoning to fill in the missing spaces. One of each color fits in every column, row, and square. Solutions are included.

Quality Wooden Board Games

All Mad Cave Bird Games are made of hardwood, specifically rubberwood, a renewable source and one of the most stable construction materials available for furniture and toys.

The solid-wood board comes with

- 81 marbles in 9 different colors + a marble storage tray

- 104 puzzle cards in five levels of difficulty + a puzzle card holder

- A solutions sheet and a color conversion card that will help you to convert traditional Sudoku number puzzles to play on your ColorKu board

The small colorful balls are painted with non-toxic materials. All parts of our games are tested and certified as safe by both US and European standards.

ColorKu is Sudoku in Color

If you're a fan of Sudoku, you and your family will love ColorKu! Instead of using numbers to solve the puzzles, ColorKu uses brightly colored wooden marbles.

Playing the puzzle on a wooden board allows you to rotate the game to give you a different perspective as you play. ColorKu will help sharpen your Logic and Deductive reasoning skill! ColorKu comes with 104 puzzle cards in five levels of difficulty. The cards tell you where to place the marbles on the board in order to start your game. The puzzle is solved by placing the remaining marbles on the board so that there is one of each color in each row, each column, and each of the nine 3x3 squares.

The game emphasizes logic, deductive reasoning, problem-solving and fun! Place it on the coffee table and you're ready whenever you feel like a challenge.

    Best game ever
    Addicted! I was playing this game on my phone, now playing it in real. So much better. I have a total brain work each time 😉 Love it. Do not hesitate, But be careful with little hands and mouth. Choking hazard for sure. UPDATE: it was becoming hard for my brain to keep every possible solution. So I made myself some paper board to keep track . 😉 and really helps.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023
    This is my second time owning this game. We lost the first one in a move. But enjoyed it so much we bought it again. It looks so neat I keep it on the coffee table all the time. I read some have a hard time with the colors, you can look at the picture I added to make sure you can see the difference. I don’t have any problems distinguishing between the colors. It comes with 104 cards that include easy, moderate, challenging, and tough puzzles. Or you can use a book or newspaper puzzle and convert numbers to colors. There is a guide sheet for this. There is also an answer sheet for all the puzzles included and instructions. It is made well. I don’t notice any smell like others mentioned. Wish it came with a bag to easily store. The balls are definitely a choking hazard for young ones.
