Silent Marble Run
(Published on 14. July 2023, 19:56 by yttrio)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits cannot repeat within a cage and must sum to the given total in the upper left corner of the cage.
Marble Run: Find the path of the marble run (from r1c1 to r9c9). The marble can only drop down or go sideways. It cannot visit a cell more than once.
-- The marble's path must enter at least one cell of each cage.
-- The marble's path is a German Whispers line (i.e., adjacent digits along the path must have a difference of at least 5).
Solution code: Row 9 followed by column 1 (18 digits no spaces)

Good one yttrio. This seems impossible at times. But has proper solution path.

I had a hard time starting this puzzle because I misread "cage" as "box".

Very enjoyable puzzle with a fun ruleset that reminded me of a labyrinth game I played when a child and teenager (although we actually had to go up sometimes too, but the impression was strong nevertheless).

An outstanding puzzle! From the sparse grid it's impossible to imagine how this will resolve, and yet, gradually, it does. Well done, great setting, and thanks!

Great setting! It was fun to solve. By the end of the whisper, the original message was lost in translation lol.
