To solve Doug’s Sudoku puzzle, you need to give him the four correct numbers required to complete it. The problem is, he makes it much more complex than it should be since he refuses to show you the puzzle and instead reads out the numbers in each row.

Although Doug specifically tells you not to write down the puzzle yourself or otherwise find a way to recreate it, he won’t know if you do, and solving it is quite difficult without doing so. If you’re hoping to romance him or become his friend, you want to get all four answers right here since doing so pleases him.

If you want to put in the work to solve it yourself but don’t feel like drawing it out, we’ve remade Doug’s Sudoku puzzle for you to solve. We’ve also included a picture of this puzzle if you want to look at it and work your way through solving it. It’s certainly doable to solve it on your own, but it might take you a bit, so you can also skip straight ahead to the answers if you’re not feeling up to it.

The correct answers to Doug’s Sudoku puzzle are, in order, 2, 3, 4, and 3. He asks you a series of four questions in a row, and each number goes along with one of these questions. Here’s when to give him each of the four solutions to his puzzle.

  • What’s the bottom right number? – 2
  • Cool. And the top left number? – 3
  • And now what’s in the 4th over from the left and 4th going up from the bottom? – 4
  • Oh nice. And the 8th one from the left and 7th one from the bottom? – 3

Enter the four correct numbers very carefully, because if you select even one wrong answer, you’ll have to start again or give up. Each time you begin again, Doug rereads the entire Sudoku puzzle, and it quickly gets annoying to click through, so precision is key here.

Once you’ve given him all four numbers, Doug will check your work. As long as you choose the correct numbers, you get one Doug Point for your efforts, which means he’s one step closer to falling in love with you.

There are plenty of other Dateables waiting to be found around the house, so when you’re done conversing with Doug, consider working on finding them. Some of the trickier ones to track down are Hero-Hime and Reggie. You’ll also need to venture up into the locked attic to access several characters.
