The first official event was held in Jeju Island, South Korea in 2018 [1] and the latest event was held in Chennai, India in 2025. National teams are determined by local affiliates of the WPF. The competition typically consists of several classic sudokus and variations to be solved by all competitors over multiple timed rounds. The competition did not take place in 2021 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
