New magazine launch: Newsdoku

Australian newsagents today launch a new magazine to the Sudoku, Addoku, Kakuro and Crossword lovers of Australia. Newsdoku is a new type of puzzle, a WORLD FIRST. Each puzzle will take between four and twelve hours to complete and involves maths, detective skills and pure luck.

Modelled on the newsagents magazine allocations and accounting model used to supply magazine to newsagents, Newsdoku has a sting in the tail in that when you think you have got it right, the rules change and you are back to square one. If your game has not been cancelled in the meantime.  While the usual game will run for a month, some run for six months.  Others come back again and again even when you have done them because everyone knows we cannot get enough of a good things.

You can call the national Newsdoku help line for help but this results in penalty points and the loss of time – and their advice has a 50/50 chance of heading you down the worng path for which you will be responsible and not the national help line.

Ask your local newsagent about Newsdoku. It will be in the back room.

    I played it for a while then threw Newsduko as hard as I could to the floor, breaking it’s spine. I was fed up, crest fallen, so claimed it was damaged on arrival.

    Terrible game.

    Derek, there is no room for jokes with this title.

    I could duck out fishing for a couple of hours but I’m forcefully addicted to this puzzle title, which normally takes a few hours out of my day.

    It’s a cruel game that should not be published.
