1. Ordinary sudoku rules. Place the digits 1 to 9 in each row, column and bold outlined 3x3 box.

2. Magic square: One of the bold outlined 3x3 boxes in the grid is a magic square. Within a magic square the three digits in each row, each column and on each diagonal sum to the same total.

3. Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle.

Solve on Sven Neumann’s Sudokupad: Magic Squarrows

Setting this puzzle taught me a lot about how the digits within a magic square box interact within their box and with neighboring boxes and it is my hope that solvers will make the same discoveries I made while setting. The arrows create five different restrictions that prevent boxes from being magic.
