The inspiration for the logic is a puzzle I know as Keen, from Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. It's a really fun sudoku variant but the computer-generated ones often end up not being terribly interesting. I hope what I've made will be a bit more challenging!
Place the digits 1-9 in each row and column of the grid. Fill the grid with cages such that all cages contain at least two cells and do not overlap.
Clues indicate the product of all the digits in their cage. No cage can have more than one clue, but not all cages have clues. A question mark can be any number.
Digits may repeat in cages, and no two cages contain the same combination of digits.
Lösungscode: The digits for the first, then second non-numbered cages from the top (question mark clue or no clues), separated by a | and with the digits in reading order (top to bottom, left to right).

Brilliant puzzle! Quite stuck at the middle part but once one of the 24 cage was figured out, the whole puzzle just fill it in.

They have to be orthogonally connected and have to cover the whole grid, yes.

I supposed the cages are consisted with orthogonally connected cells, aren't they? Also, do all the cells have to be part of a cage?
