Sudoku-esque game search

August 27, 2012 7:04 PM

Have you played the game The Heist from the app store? It features four different puzzle types. I am really fond of the sudoku-esque puzzle that uses figures instead of numbers and a different grid layout. Is there a name for this type of game? Can you recommend similar games? I don't really like the other three puzzle types and I have played all 15 of the one I do like. TIA!

They go by two names: Geometry Sudokus or Latin Squares puzzles. Here are many.

And they can apparently be called Jigsaw Sudokus or Nonominos too.

I've been playing one called Elemental which sounds very similar.
