Chiidoku is now Catdoku — the same Roblox puzzle under a new name

The listing title changed from Chiidoku to "[🧠] Catdoku". The public game page URL slug now ends in /Catdoku, and the description opens "Catdoku is a puzzle...". Verified on the games.roblox.com structured read and the public page.

The description's how-to-play section now says 'There is one Cat in each color', 'There is one Cat in each row and column', and 'Two Cats cannot touch, including diagonally'. The mechanics are identical to the Chiikawa-era rules; the noun and the art re-theme are what changed. The game icon is now a white cartoon cat face over four pastel board regions.

The listing now advertises 'Complete over 1,000 levels, earn coins, set your best win streak' where September's text advertised up to 400 Standard levels. No per-level map or band table ships with either claim; the community wiki's Beginner-through-Hard bands document the earlier 400-level ladder only.

September's description listed four mode rows: Standard, Ranked, Endless, Daily Puzzles. October's rewrite lists Levels, Ranked, and Daily Puzzles — Endless is no longer named. That is a description change, not a documented mode removal: no source states Endless was taken out of the game, so this site keeps its endless-mode guide with a source-watch note instead of deleting it.

The creator community keeps the name Chiidoku (118,111 members at the October 25, 2026 structured check, up from 106,009 on October 16 and 94,844 on October 8), and its description still opens 'Chiidoku is a puzzle...'. The group has not been renamed and had not posted rename news at the check.

Now verified: the official catalog lists two plushie items by creator group 290187465 — "Catdoku Plushie" (132942577410368, created October 9, 2026) and "Catdoku Cali Plushie" (96820389723362, created October 23, 2026) — described as "Free UGC earned from Catdoku for completing 100 levels with a 100 win streaks." The October 16 check still returned zero catalog items; YouTube tutorials now show the earn flow. No drop date, quantity limit, or end date is published, so those stay unclaimed.

Did Chiidoku get renamed to Catdoku?

Yes. Checked 2026-10-25: the official Roblox listing is now titled "[🧠] Catdoku" — the same structured-data check on October 8, 2026 still returned the name Chiidoku. The listing's own description now opens "Catdoku is a puzzle that combines elements of Sudoku and Minesweeper", and the rename landed in the update stamped October 15, 2026. The October 25, 2026 recheck shows the name and description unchanged since; the listing's own update stamp advanced to October 25, 2026, still with no changelog.

Is Catdoku the same game as Chiidoku or a different game?

The same game. The rename did not create a new experience: the universe ID (10628006421), the root place ID (139705352041000), and the creator group (290187465, the community still named Chiidoku, owned by RoMcKim) are all unchanged from every earlier verified check. Only the displayed name, the description text, and the icon changed.

Why was Chiidoku renamed to Catdoku?

The creator has not published a reason — no changelog, announcement, or description note explains the rename. What the public record shows is the pattern: the game previously used Chiikawa-style character tokens, and the October 15, 2026 update re-themed every token to generic cats (the icon is now a white cat face) while renaming the game. Any reason beyond those observed facts would be speculation, so this site does not print one.

Are there Catdoku codes?

No. No working or expired code has ever been documented for this game under either name. Every dated tracker recheck through 2026-10-25 — GameRant, GamerTweak, urgametips (which rechecked the same day and lists none), and Roblox Den's last reachable check — returns zero. The codes page keeps the dated sweep.

Is the Catdoku plushie real?

Verified. The Roblox catalog now lists two official plushie items by the game's own creator group (290187465): "Catdoku Plushie" (item 132942577410368, created October 9, 2026) and "Catdoku Cali Plushie" (item 96820389723362, created October 23, 2026). Both carry the same official description: "Free UGC earned from Catdoku for completing 100 levels with a 100 win streaks." A catalog keyword search on 2026-10-25 returns both; the October 16, 2026 check still returned zero items, and YouTube tutorials now show the earn flow.

Is this the same Catdoku as the browser puzzle games?

No. Several browser cat-sudoku games also use the Catdoku or Meowdoku name; they are different products by different makers, not versions of this Roblox game. This site covers only the Roblox experience — the one with the October 15, 2026 rename, hearts, coins, Ranked, and Daily Puzzles.
