If you liked Murdoku
Murdoku made this popular: sudoku crossed with a murder mystery. If you have finished it and want more, Sudoku Detective is another game in the same genre, made by different people. You can play it free right here, with no sign-up and nothing to download.
What they have in common
- You place the suspects on a floor plan, one per row and one per column, like a sudoku.
- Every suspect says where they were, and they all tell the truth.
- Every case has a single solution, reached by reasoning, never by guessing.
- Whoever was left alone with the victim is the killer.
