An example that is based on a game called 'Sudoku'. The objective of the game is to fill every blocks, rows and columns with numbers 1 - 9 without any duplicates.
Besides regular MIP solve, this example also allows you to use some solvers, such as CPLEX and BARON, to find multiple solutions.
In addition, the example contains a Sudoku generator that employs the uniqueness model to eliminate (random) cells from a puzzle such that the puzzle still produces a unique solution.
