If you like cluedo and sudoku, then you will likely like this game.
Core Rules:
• One Person Per Row and Column: Just like traditional Sudoku, no two people can occupy the same horizontal row or vertical column. Placing a suspect blocks those entire lines for everyone else.
The definition of “beside” means:
- Directly adjacent (vertically or horizontally, not diagonally) to an object or room.
- Also in the same area/room as that object.
• The Map is Evidence: Each puzzle features a crime scene map divided into different rooms, furniture, colored areas, and objects (such as beds, rugs, plants, chairs, and windows). Certain objects or furniture spaces can or cannot be occupied (such as shelves and tables).
• Clues Are Strict Rules: Suspects come with clue cards describing their locations, directions, room assignments, or proximity to objects (e.g., beside a chair, north of another suspect, or next to a plant). Treat every clue as an absolute fact, not a hint.
• Deduce the Victim: Once all known suspects are placed using logic and elimination, the last remaining open/occupiable square on the grid belongs to the victim.
• Identify the Murderer: After the board is fully solved, the murderer is the person who was left alone with the victim in that same room or area
