How to play Snoodoku on Mac

Game summary

Snoodoku� is a new Windows puzzle game from the creator of Snood. Like Snood, it is non-violent, intellectually challenging, and non-confrontational. Snoodoku is based on Latin Squares, more recently developed into a game known as Number Place or Sudoku. Similar games are found in newspapers and puzzle books. Snoodoku takes the puzzle a step further, by: Using the Snood characters rather than boring old numbers; Providing a simple user interface, accessible by mouse or keyboard, that keeps track of your play for you without getting in the way; Providing a scoring system that rewards accuracy primarily and then rewards speed to make the game a bit more competitive; and Giving you easy-to-use tools to help you play. Snoodoku has 5 levels of play - Child, Easy, Medium, Hard and Evil - and you can compete against yourself or against others!

Play Snoodoku on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Snoodoku on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Snoodoku installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Snoodoku like you would on any PC.
