Applies to every Deku gameUpdated September 15, 2026
Deku Studios builds its own games and runs the tournaments inside them.
- Soltara: draw-three solitaire. Clear the deal faster and cleaner than everyone else.
- Glyphs: a word hunt on a 5 by 5 letter grid. Find as many long words as you can in two minutes.
- Nines: competitive sudoku. Fill the grid accurately, and fast.
Two ways to play
- Free tournaments use acorns, our free in-app currency. They are open in every US state.
- Cash tournaments have a real entry fee and real prizes. They are available to players 18 and older in eligible states.
Everyone in a tournament plays the same board, so the best performance wins. Between matches you can climb Deku Tower, complete daily missions and collect rewards.
One account works across every Deku game. Deku Studios LLC is based in New York.
