# Meditative Sudoku Game ‘Weather Memoku’ Combines Weather Forecast with Puzzle Solving
## A New Way to Check the Weather
The Weather Network has collaborated with the Hearst-owned puzzle platform Puzzmo to create a unique game that combines elements of memory, sudoku, and weather. The game is called Weather Memoku, and it’s designed to make checking the weather a more enjoyable experience.
## The Game Mechanics
Weather Memoku takes place on a 6 x 6 grid, where the goal is to flip over tiles to find matches, similar to a classic game of memory. The twist is that it also follows the rules of sudoku, ensuring that each of the six symbols appears in each row and column only once. This adds a layer of strategy to the game, making it more challenging and engaging.
## The Weather Connection
The game is incredibly charming, with symbols that change based on the weather. For example, cute little frogs appear on a rainy day, and penguins appear when it snows. When you complete the puzzle, you’re presented with your score and an hourly weather report. You can also share your score, similar to your Wordle score.
## A Meditative Experience
According to Puzzmo’s veteran game designer Zach Gage, Weather Memoku is meant to be an iteration of “arcade sudoku.” The game streamlines the core gameplay, making it feel like a fun and relaxing experience. “Being wrong is part of the game,” Gage explains. “In this game, if you don’t know something and you guess, you can tap anywhere and now you have a new piece of information and your board has changed.”
## A New Way to Learn and Relax
Weather Memoku is designed to feel like “a little meditation” that would make you want to keep coming back to the site each day. “You can have this meditative experience and then when you’re done, you actually have the weather,” says Gage. “You’ve left with a tangible piece of information that’s valuable to you.”
The Weather Network and Puzzmo’s collaboration has resulted in a unique game that combines weather forecasting with puzzle solving, making checking the weather a more enjoyable experience. Give Weather Memoku a try and discover a new way to learn and relax.
