SUDOKU MEETS MURDER MYSTERY

Study the clues. Place the suspects. Reveal the killer.

• 80 unique murder mystery logic puzzles
• Full-colour illustrated crime scenes
• Difficulty levels from beginner to expert
• Ideal for sudoku, mystery and brain-teaser fans

Can You Catch the Killer?

Every case begins with a crime scene, a group of suspects and a carefully constructed set of clues.

Your task is to determine exactly where each suspect was positioned. Every character must occupy a different row and column—but rooms, furniture, animals and other environmental details introduce new restrictions.

Follow the evidence, eliminate impossible positions and discover who was alone with the victim. One wrong assumption could let the killer walk free.

A New Kind of Logic Puzzle

Murdoku takes the clean logic of sudoku and turns it into a fully illustrated criminal investigation.

Instead of filling a grid with numbers, you place suspects throughout detailed crime scenes. Use the written clues and visual environment to reconstruct what happened—and reveal the only person who could have committed the crime.

The book begins with accessible cases that teach you how the system works before progressing towards harder investigations designed to challenge even experienced puzzle solvers.

Every Detail Could Be Evidence

Rooms, furniture, windows, plants and other objects are more than decoration. Each visual element can affect where a suspect is allowed to stand and bring you one step closer to the killer.
