My first fog of war puzzle, and I'm getting it in by the skin of my teeth for the new year! Named in honor of the party that takes place in NYC every New Year's Eve.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply, and an extra region is formed by the 9 gray squares shown.
- German Whispers - digits along a green German Whisper line differ in value from their neighbors on the line by at least 5.
- Dutch Whispers - digits along an orange Dutch Whisper line differ in value from their neighbors on the line by at least 4.
- Kropki dots - digits separated by a white Kropki dot differ in value by 1; digits separated by a black Kropki dot have a value ratio of 1:2. No negative constraint.
- XV sums - digits separated by an X sum to 10; digits separated by a V sum to 5. No negative constraint.
- Fog of War - correct solving of the puzzle will begin to clear the fog around the initial section. No guessing required.
Solution code: Positive diagonal from left to right

I'm really glad I can never remember if squares are usually even or odd, because if I didn't go back to see what they *actually* do I would've been quite stuck.
Nice puzzle! I'm not usually a fan of Dutch Whispers but these were pretty and rather painless.
>>>NSM here - if it's any comfort, Dutch Whispers usually aren't my favorite either, but I'm trying to expand my skill set!

Nice puzzle! Treated the gray squares as even digits at first after missing the extra region details in instructions. Quickly realized the error and straightforward solve from there.
