Mayan Remains (ARK impression)

(Published on 13. September 2025, 15:49 by gdc)

This year I participated in the Secret Impostor event by Scojo. It is a 2 week setting challenge where everyone set a puzzle in their own style in week 1 and then randomly got assigned another participant to impersonate in week 2.

The puzzle here is my week 2 puzzle impersonating ARK.

Normal 8x8 sudoku rules apply with irregular regions.
Arrows: Digits on an arrow must sum to the number in the circle at the base of that arrow.
Numbers on the purple line and on the positive diagonal may not repeat.

More About The Secret Impostor Event

There were 49 puzzle makers that participated in the event. I got assigned to ARK randomly from the other 48. I had 1 week to figure out their style and make their puzzle feel real solely based on their LMD catalog.

Thanks to Scojo, Hatgurl and the testers (CalvinBall, NEWS, fahmisack) for making this work. Just like last year, it was incredibly fun and really makes you appreciate the nuances of other peoples styles.

Solution code: The bottom row (row 8), left to right (8 digits)
