We zijn verheugd om de Nederlandse kampioenschappen Puzzelen en Sudoku 2025 aan te kondigen! In het weekend van 4-7 april organiseren WCPN and ORTEC een online kwalificatie voor de kampioenschappen die op 10 mei zullen plaatsvinden. Geniet in dit weekend van mooie logische puzzels en sudoku’s.
Two championships: Puzzle and Sudoku
Zoals altijd zijn er twee afzonderlijke kampioenschappen, één voor sudoku en één voor logisch puzzelen. Dit jaar bestaan de kampioenschappen uit twee delen: In het weekend van 4 – 7 april vinden de online kwalificaties plaats voor beide kampioenschappen. Meer informatie over de online kwalificaties volgt binnenkort. De kampioenschappen worden gehouden op 10 mei bij ORTEC in Zoetermeer.
Who can join?
Anyone can join the online qualifications! The championship always consists of different levels of puzzles – so whether you consider yourself a beginner or an expert, there will surely be some puzzles for you. And the cracks can of course try to solve them all!
As always, there are two separate championships, one for sudoku and one for logic puzzles. Most participants will compete in both championships, but prizes will be awarded separately for puzzle and sudoku. You are not required to join both qualifications. But because only a limited number of participants can qualify for either championship, you increase your chances if you participate in both qualifications.
There are three participants categories: participants from WCPN, participants from our sponsor ORTEC and other interested people. After the online qualifications, the best WCPN and ORTEC participants will be invited to participate in the live championships. More information on the distribution of invites between these 2 categories and the 2 championships will follow after the qualifications have taken place. During the live championships, a champion from each category will be announced. The best participant from the WCPN will be crowned Dutch Champion! So, if you want to be eligible to win the title of Dutch Champion, make sure you join WCPN.
How can you join?
The registration process for the championship is simple: Fill out the registration form. Once you are registered, you can join the online qualifications. More information on how the qualifications are organized can be found on the page with instructions for the qualifications.
What puzzles and sudokus can you expect?
The Sudoku Championship will contain a wide variety of sudokus, and the Puzzle Championship will contain many types of logic puzzles. You can find examples on the championship pages of previous years. Furthermore, 2 weeks prior to the qualifications an instruction booklet will be published that contains more information on the exact types of puzzles that will be in the championships.
Also, check out this cool booklet that ORTEC and WCPN made. It contains many of the puzzle types that you can expect at the championships; an interview with multiple Dutch Champions Annick Weyzig and Karin Griffioen; and maybe most important: it contains tips from Annick and Karin that may help you improve your solving.
What is at stake?
There is one thing that nobody will ever take away from you: eternal fame! There are multiple chances for eternal fame: there are separate competitions for logical puzzles and for sudokus.
Naast eeuwige roem komen de toppers ook in aanmerking voor een plaats in het Nederlands team dat Nederland vertegenwoordigt op de Wereld(!) Puzzel- en Sudoku Kampioenschappen.
