Picture Sudoku Cache Builder
Make your own picture Sudoku geocache with a sharable play link.
Picture Sudoku is ordinary Sudoku played with pictures instead of numbers. Fill the grid so every row, every column and every bold 3 by 3 box contains each of the nine pictures exactly once. Solving the grid reveals your final coordinates or keyword. A brand new, uniquely solvable puzzle is generated on the server for every player and every load, so nothing is hidden in the page to peek at and no two players can share a solution, only the keyword. You choose the difficulty and which set of pictures players see.

Only the site admin can see this, in case they need to reach you about your cache. Never shown to players.

On solve, reveal

Where can I host an image for free?
Paste a direct https:// link to an image. Free image hosts that give a direct link include
ImgBB,
postimages.org, and
Cloudinary.
A geocaching.com image link works too. The link must start with https://.
Keep your cache in play to keep it live. Share the play link so people visit it; unused caches are cleaned up over time.
