2008 video game
Buku Sudoku (titled Buku Números in Mexico and Buku数字パズル in Japan) is a downloadable puzzle game developed by Ukrainian studio Absolutist Ltd and published by Merscom based on Sudoku for the Windows PC's. The game was also released for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, on May 28, 2008.
Gameplay
Buku Sudoku 360 offers variations on the traditional Sudoku puzzle including 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 9x9, 12x12 and 16x16 grids. There are also three difficulty levels featured, as well as a "Create Your Own Sudoku" feature. The game allows the player customization options by letting them choose different background and tile themes to modify their Sudoku board. The Windows version features a Puzzle Mode and timed Arcade Mode, while the Xbox 360 version promises co-op and competitive online play. The game also features a display hints option for gamers that like to know when they have mis-entered a number. If a player answers a set correctly (rows, columns, boxes and numbers in boxes), then the choices become permanent. The game has 1200 Sudoku puzzles to play.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2008 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4987150. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008 and 1200.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
