Conceptis’ puzzle fans can now enhance their Kakuro fun, while Conceptis’ publishers can differentiate their magazines and become the leading Kakuro publishers in their country.

“By shaping the grids, these puzzles become substantially more attractive, offer a wider range of interesting logic situations, and are easier to solve compared to rectangular grids of the same size” says Dave Green, president of Conceptis. “We are confident that our partners will have more successful publications with a significant advantage over the competition.”
Since their introduction in January 2006, over 20 magazines and books with Conceptis Classic Kakuro puzzles have already been published or are in final production stages in ten North American and European countries. In addition, Conceptis signed worldwide agreements with King Features for international newspaper syndication of Kakuro puzzles, and with Lemada Light Industries Ltd. / Kod Kod for providing content to their new Kod Kakuro board game.
About Kakuro
Kakuro is a grid based puzzle, often referred to as a mathematical transliteration of the crossword. The object is to fill all empty squares using numbers 1 to 9 so the sum of each horizontal block equals the clue on its left, and the sum of each vertical block equals the clue on its top. In addition, no number may be used in the same block more than once.
