It is already in its 17th edition

Sudoku hit the Western press in November 2004 and since then no new paper-and-pencil format has replicated its global reach. Manuel Garand, a Montreal puzzle creator whose riddles have even appeared in the ‘Financial Times’, tried it by combining the logic of mathematical grids with ‘Cluedo’-type murders. The result, published in Spain in October 2025 (and with a second installment on sale from July 1) by Temas de Hoy is ‘Murdoku’ and has become, according to the publisher itself, the best-selling non-fiction book in Spanish of the moment. Where does it come from? Sudoku, despite its two decades of world domination Since ‘The Times’ began publishing it in 2004, it remains perched at the top of the puzzle throne, and has no rival in sight. The mathematical game has colonized newspapers, applications and pocket books with overwhelming efficiency. Its great attraction is its abstraction: without narrative, without characters, without settings. And there may be the key to the success of ‘Murdoku’: giving us everything that the original sudoku lacks. What is ‘Murdoku’. This puzzle takes the mechanics of the Sudoku grid, and embraces the idea that there can only be one of each element in each row and column. But they are not numbers, they are suspicious. If we add scenarios and clues, each puzzle becomes a miniature investigation: when you discover which character was in the same room as the victim, that is the murderer. As Sergi Álvarez, editorial director of Temas de Hoy, told us, “you don’t just solve: you investigate. There is a more immersive and narrative dimension.” Finding an attractive intersection between puzzles and crime narrative is what has given ‘Murdoku’ its commercial appeal. The figures. 300,000 copies sold, 17 editions, number one in non-fiction sales in Spanish. It was one of the best-selling books of Sant Jordi of 2026. In the US and the UK it is also sweeping, and Hachette has already published two volumes of the serieswith a third, ‘Around the World’, scheduled for fall. Regarding these figures, Álvarez tells us that “because of how it has grown, we believe that we are not facing a passing phenomenon, but rather a category with a long history within the editorial catalog.” How it was born. Murdoku was created by Manuel GarandCanadian puzzle designer living in Montreal. The book was originally published in October 2025 and the spanish editionwas edited by Temas de Hoy that same month. The publisher had had another book from the same family in its catalog for months: ‘Murdle‘, a series of criminal-themed puzzles (with elements more typical of a conventional narrative deduction puzzle) that had exceeded three million copies sold in 30 countries. ‘Murdle’ combines mystery and deduction, but with a more textual mechanic, closer to the clue-to-clue puzzle. Álvarez tells us that “the markets are saturated with undifferentiated offers and grow thanks to original and innovative proposals like ‘Murdoku’, which has its own personality, provides a different mechanic, very easy to understand and very addictive.” The success of ‘Murdle’, yes, is what confirmed that the demand for this type of entertainment still had a long way to go. The importance of TikTok. The 208 full-color pages, with detailed illustrations of each crime scene, suspects and surrounding objects, make the book more visually striking than traditional hobby notebooks. Of course, more than the arid grids full of numbers of Sudoku puzzles. Quite a temptation for booktubers: the hashtag #murdoku accumulates millions of viewswith individual videos that have exceeded 254,000 likes. It all started when Spanish-speaking content creators began to solve the puzzles live, although Murdoku is not a novel or regular content for booktubers. Álvarez clarifies, beyond the specific push thanks to social networks: “We are talking about a conversation that grew week by week, the book was slowly cooking its success.” A surprise on many levels that hides something more than a commercial hook: puzzles of very notable solidity. In Xataka | The Spanish Puzzle Championship exists, real professionals participate and there are prizes of up to 1,000 euros

The physical edition of ‘GTA VI’ will be discless and will come with a code. The sad thing is that it has stopped surprising

‘GTA VI‘is warming up. After the second trailer shown in the middle of last year, Rockstar has remained almost stony silent. After a new delay that brought the launch to November 19 of this year, the messages have not arrived even with a dropper, but Reservations open this June 25 and they are going to put the marketing machine at full power. This is allowing us to learn about news such as new (and impressive) screenshots, the price of ‘GTA VI’ and, above all, the fear for many users: The physical version of ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ will not include the disc. It is something that is no longer surprising. The physical ‘GTA VI’ Schrödinger Although we are still waiting for the launch of the third trailer for the game, which is estimated to arrive to accompany the opening of the reservation period, Rockstar did not want to be begged and has been advancing some details. To begin with, an avalanche of screenshots that reconfirm that the game is one of the most ambitious of this generation of consoles. Because ‘GTA VI’ is a game that the company has been cooking for years, it is its first title for the current generation of consoles and it is noticeable that the ‘Red Dead Redemption 2‘ for PS5 and Xbox Series X They have allowed them to learn about the machines to get all the juice possible. Visually, ‘GTA VI’ is going to be crazy The more ambitious you are with the visual and technical section and the size of the game itself, the more complicated it is to condense the product on a disc, and with ‘GTA VI’ it is confirmed that will not have a real physical edition. Before we start evaluating, here is what Rockstar has announced: “Players who pre-order the digital versions of Grand Theft Auto VI will be able to begin pre-loading on November 12, to ensure they can play at launch on November 19. The physical version of Grand Theft Auto VI will include a download code inside the box and will be available starting November 12 to allow pre-loading.” That physical games are not physical games is something that, unfortunately, is no longer an exception. The Game Key Card of nintendo switch 2 They go straight: they are not a game in physical format. Games that are a ‘Code in a box’ are not either, even if that code comes in a box, and ‘GTA VI’ will belong to that second group. This, which has been like this for decades in the PC world, was not so widespread in console games (aside from Nintendo Switch, where a few have already appeared), and it seems that ‘GTA VI’ will be so big, or will have so little sense in its physical version 1.0, that it is not worth it to start “printing” discs. And, as a player who loves the physical format because it is not a simple license to use that the companies they can remove you from your account When they consider that you should no longer have what you paid for, the decision that there is no ‘GTA VI’ in physical format is as sad as it is… curious. Curious because reserving makes no sense beyond whether you want that box with the cover, since You won’t be left without a game on launch day because, in essence, this physical version is a digital version. As digital as what you can buy in the Xbox and PlayStation online store. The twist of ending with the second hand In fact, even if ‘GTA VI’ fits on one Blu Ray (or two, there’s no harm in putting it in two, ‘Final Fantasy VII Rebirth‘, ‘Cyberpunk 2077‘ or Rockstar’s own ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ come on two discs), for the company it makes perfect sense that the game is a code and not a Blu-Ray. If everything comes true, and if it turns out as Rockstar hopes, ‘GTA VI’ will be the generational game in the same way they were ‘San Andreas‘ either ‘GTA V‘. It is that game that sells an obscene amount of units and, by ensuring that there is no physical ‘GTA VI’, Rockstar ensures that everyone who wants it has to buy it from them. If I buy the game, I pass it on and leave it to a friend, there are two of us who have played it, but Rockstar has only seen one sale. The same if I sell it to a second-hand store where, to make matters worse, it is the store that takes the profit. If there is no disc, both my friend and I will have to buy the game, and there Rockstar sees two sales. Oh yes, the price of ‘GTA VI’: 80 euros for the normal version, 100 for the ‘Ultimate’. The current evil of games in physical format One of the problems that the current video game industry has is that many releases in physical format are not, really, a physical format. They come in a box, they come with a Blu-Ray, but that 100 GB Blu-Ray only has a few few megabytes of information. What that disk has inside is the code, the key that communicates with the store and that gives you access to download the game. It’s not tied to your account (if you resell it, that other person can download the game again), but you have to play with the disc inserted no matter what and, in x years, when stores or servers close, you will only have a nice paperweight. In short: if I turn on my PS1, my PS2 or my PS3 today, I can play my copy of ‘Final Fantasy VII’ in physical format. When I turn on my PS5 in 20 years, like Microsoft has retired it, the licenses have expired or whatever, I won’t be able to play to ‘Doom The Dark Ages‘ on disk. That is why initiatives such as that of Stop … Read more

The new edition of ‘Operación Triunfo’ is being criticized for elitism: it is exactly what its creators were looking for

“I study musical theater in London, I have been living for two years in Sweden and four years in India, where I also attended an American school” or “I lived for three years in Indonesia and now I am studying a double degree in audiovisual communication and journalism” are the cover letters of some of the contestants of Operation Triumph 2025. As expected, the networks have not taken long to uncover your memes and make fun of these introductions, accusing the edition of a certain elitism. The truth is, some satire does fit in an edition in which the average contestant is 19 years old and has barely traveled around the world and learned five languages. @javierpv_26 Average OT2025 Contestant #operaciontriumph #OT2025 #otgala0 #ot ♬ Cross The Catwalk – Operación Triunfo 2023 What is quite ironic is that it is mostly Generation Z that caricatures this model of contestant, because this edition, more than ever, has put the post-millennials in front of the mirror, and not precisely because of the challenge that the participants had to read a wall clock. If we combine Prime Video’s interest in increase subscribers and the eagle eye of Noemí Galera, who has been dedicating herself to casting processes for years, we find a format that considers its greatest asset to attract this generation and turn it into its majority audience. The members of the generation millennial We are still part of the fans, but we are no longer the focus of interest of the program. Gone are those contestants from the 2000s and that “I was wrong, olé!” of Rosa de España in the middle of a performance. Now the majority of contestants They have already been through several musical competitions and they know what they undergo in the academy. Visits from famous artists, nor a possible tour, are no longer surprising, and they are more aware than ever of the place where they are. The spontaneous, more natural and the more “working class” profiles have disappeared. In Xataka The return of ‘Operación Triunfo’ starts exclusively on TikTok: it demonstrates everything that the program owes to the social network As almost all of Spain knows, Bustamante, before pursuing his musical dream,worked in construction with his father in his beloved San Vicente de la Barquera; Not to mention the case of Vero, a hairdressing assistant by training and aerobics instructor by profession. In 2025, a profile like this is almost unthinkablebecause those trajectories are no longer those sought by casting directors and become the discordant note of the edition. The clearest example this year is what happens with Guille Toledano, head chef who defines himself as an absolute fan of Atlético de Madrid; His presentation during Gala 0 and in the middle of the rest of his companions was the closest that human beings have been to time travel. Goodbye bricklayer, hello drama student That “two-thousand” essence, where profiles like Chenoa stood out for their mettle and experience on stage, no longer exists. The contestants have more training, but not necessarily many kilometers traveled with their orchestra van or nights worked in casino rooms as was the case with Chenoa herself. The everyday in this new edition, total crystallization of the process that has been subordinating the identification of the public (“I could be that one”) to the search for hyperformed virtuosoare contestants who study double degrees, musical theater, are tap dancers or graduates in Spanish dance and have traveled to countless countries. In Xataka Nobody knows what the audience is for ‘Operacion Triunfo’, but Prime Video has gotten what it wanted with the program We are not saying that these characteristics are what guarantee the success or popularity of each contestant. In fact, the latest OT winner is Naiara, an orchestra singer; and in this new edition Guille himself seems to stand out among the favorites every week. Popularity or success aside, what is striking is that the group of contestants has changed, a reflection of a large part of the generation that OT wants to target in 2025. We are talking about that young audience, mostly university students; a generation responsible for a record number of registrations in 2024, who also studies abroad, knows languages ​​and among his usual leisure is travel more or less recurrently. In this context, how could Tinet Rubira and the entire OT network not design a selection of contestants made tailored for generation Z? Gone are those first editions of Operación Triunfo where the weekly challenge fell to the colleagues who had to defend a song in English and suffered it as if it were Aramaic. And, yes, back in 2001 the public empathized or felt represented listening to Rosa’s tacky English in “It’s Raining Men”but in the middle of 2025 that has nothing to do with reality and, elitist or not, OT knows it perfectly. They want the representation of a modern and prepared generation, with standard English and twice the qualifications that they then ask for on Linkedin. Carlos Lozano giving way to a version of Bad Bunny? This turn and fine-tuning of the contest is not something new. Yes ok This year it has become more evidentthan ever, it was in 2017 when the true transformation of the program occurred, adapting to the codes of the new generations. That OT 2017 with its 24-hour channel and fuming YouTube chat revolutionized a generation that had not experienced the OT phenomenon before. It was nothing more than the beginning, because OT 2023 arrived from the hand of a streaming platform like Prime Video, sensing the facelift to which they wanted to continue subjecting the format. On a personal level, I miss Capde, an OT professor who was there until two editions ago, and who already seemed uncomfortable helping the contestants with certain urban rhythmsbut it is true that Operación Triunfo itself has reinvented itself not only from the casting. Pablo Lluch and Vic Mirallas, young, talented and on the same wavelength as the current program, now … Read more
