With the successful conclusion of the Twist KenKen Competition 2026 on 23 May 2026, a group of young learners who love logic and mathematical challenges officially took their next step toward the international stage.

This was more than a competition. It was a meaningful journey of intellectual exchange across Malaysia, China, and Indonesia, bringing together young minds through the shared language of logic, focus, and problem-solving.

Throughout the competition, the participants demonstrated concentration, perseverance, and strong logical thinking skills. Their performance reminded us that every child has the potential to grow, challenge themselves, and shine when given the right platform.

The next destination is the 11th World KenKen Championship 2026, which will be held in Hong Kong, China, on 11 July 2026.

Top KenKen and Sudoku players from around the world will gather in Hong Kong for an international battle of minds. For our young participants, this is not only a challenge, but also a valuable opportunity to broaden their horizons, exchange ideas with global competitors, and strengthen their thinking abilities on a world-class stage.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all partners and supporting organizations of the Twist KenKen Competition 2026.
