Murdoku

Manhunt meets Sudoku.

There was a murder last night. A handful of suspects, one victim, a floor plan full of clues — and only one arrangement that truly adds up. Grab your magnifying glass.

Murdoku marries the rigor of Sudoku with the suspense of a whodunit. Every suspect leaves a clue — "…was sitting on a chair", "…was in the same room as Bryson", "…was NOT beside a wall". You reason, cross out and place, until every person stands on exactly one tile. Whoever ends up alone with the victim in a room is the murderer.

★ OVER 90 HANDCRAFTED CASES

More than 90 ready-made mysteries await — from compact to seriously tricky.

★ A MIX OF SUDOKU AND LOGIC PUZZLE

Pure deduction, zero luck: every case has exactly one solution, provable by logic alone. As in Sudoku — one person per row and per column.

★ BUILD YOUR OWN — THE EDITOR

Paint rooms, floors, objects and windows onto the board, create suspects and assemble their clues. "Check" tells you whether the case is uniquely solvable, "Play" tests it instantly, "Save" files it in your archive.

★ ENDLESS CASES — THE GENERATOR

Out of files to crack? The generator builds guaranteed-unique cases on demand — 15+ themed settings, three difficulties, boards from 4×4 up to 12×12.

A TRIBUTE TO THE INVENTOR

Murdoku is a freely interpreted fan version. The brilliant core idea — fusing Sudoku logic with a murder case — comes from Manuel Garand. This project is not affiliated with him. If you enjoy the principle, support the inventor and buy his books!
