About the app

Lola's Fruit Shop Sudoku is the easiest sudoku game in the world! Now kids can enjoy the fun and challenge of Sudoku in a form especially designed for them. Your 4-year-old can play this fruit and number game and have fun. But still it is challenging enough even for 9-year-old children. How is that possible?

The player is invited to help Lola Panda to sort out the fruit. After a few successes, the player gets a well-earned award and at the end of the game the Fruit Shop is ready to open. Like most Lola Panda games, Fruit Shop Sudoku has very clear instructions and pleasant voice guidance.

Lola’s Fruit Shop Sudoku begins with an easy level for young children: they play a 3x3 fruit game with 3 different kinds of fruit. The level has attractive animated instructions, so children really learn to play the game quickly without even knowing what Sudoku is.
On the other hand, the hard level uses numbers and a bigger 4 x 4 grid, so it provides fun and challenge even for children who are a bit older. Naturally, the game proceeds smoothly from each level to the next, so it is never too difficult for the player.

Why not try it? Lola’s Fruit Shop Sudoku provides loads of fun, and it really develops kids’ logical thinking!

The player can choose narration in English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified) and Finnish.

My Thoughts

This app is adorable to teach the concepts of sudoku to children ages 4 to 8.   Personally I find that the app is more geared toward children ages 4 to 6.

You will have three levels of difficulty within the app.  Your child can start with the easy level to understand the basics of Sudoku by adding the fruit missing in a simple sudoku.    As you go up in the levels of difficulties, you will get either a bigger fruit sudoku or a simple number sudoku.

The goal of the game is to collect fruits for Lola’s stand.   Once a level is completed, more fruits/numbers will be missing from the sudoku.   

The graphics are simply adorable and the challenge is appropriate for the age level.     I think this app is wonderful to introduce the concept of doing a Sudoku for younger children and also to use their thinking abilities for determining which fruit/number goes where.   

I definitively recommend the Lola’s Fruit Shop Sudoku app to entertain and challenge your young ones.   You won’t be disappointed with this app.   It will give them skills that will last for a lifetime!

Lola’s Fruit Shop Sudoku is currently available for the price of 99 cents on iTunes.
