## What is Capodoku?

Can you name the killer before the family closes ranks?

Capodoku is a mafia murder mystery played on a logic grid. Think sudoku, but every square belongs to a room of the crime scene and every piece is a suspect: the Godfather, the Widow, the Crooked Cop, the Pizza Chef and ten more. Your mission: put everyone exactly where their statements say they were, and expose the one who did it.

SIMPLE RULES, RUTHLESS LOGIC
• One per line: never two people in the same row or column.
• Follow the statements: “He was next to the piano”, “She wasn’t in the kitchen”… every clue narrows the board.
• Alone with the victim: the killer is the only suspect in the same room as the victim.
• Never guess: every case has exactly one solution, checked by our solver and reachable by pure deduction.

A DETECTIVE CAREER, NOT JUST LEVELS
• 480 cases at launch in 4 case files: a manor, a night train, a cabaret and a grand hotel. A new case file every month.
• In each file, rise from Rookie to Legend, chapter after chapter, on a living evidence board.
• 3-star goals, star chests and a medal at the end of every rank.
• A detective owl walks you through your very first case.

FAIR PLAY, PROMISED
• No lives, no energy: play as long as you like.
• Ads never interrupt a case. Hints are optional, and free hints come every day.
• Remove ads forever with a single purchase. No subscription, ever.
• No account needed. Plays offline.

A NEW CASE EVERY DAY
• A daily case, the same for everyone, with streak rewards and a free daily parcel of hints.
• Pencil marks, cross-outs, undo and a free “Check my grid” button.

FREE TO PLAY: the daily case and all 120 cases of The Manor. The other case files are one-time purchases. Bronze, silver and gold badges are one-time purchases that remove full-screen ads; silver and gold also add free hints every day, and gold unlocks every case file, now and to come. Hint packs are optional.

Perfect for fans of sudoku, logic grids, whodunits and gangster noir.

Grab your hat, open the case file, find the killer.

### 5/5 — Super Jeux !

*2026-10-30*

Je suis accroc à ce jeu d’énigme, c’est super bien fait, je recommande 1000 fois. En plus il y a des nouvelles enquêtes tous les jours, on ne s’ennuie pas ! 
Les autres dossiers en plus valent également le coup ! 
Point positif : on peut jouer en ors ligne

### 5/5 — Intuitif et addictif

*2026-10-30*

Un super jeu pour passer le temps dans les transports.

### 5/5 — Un jeu de réflexion stimulant et soigné

*2026-10-29*

A la recherche d’un jeu de réflexion, j’ai voulu tester Capodoku, et je n’ai pas été déçu !
Le concept du whodunit mélangé avec la logique du Sudoku est bien trouvé ; les grilles permettent de stimuler la réflexion avec un réel niveau de difficulté, et en prime l’esthétique du jeu est réussie. 
J’ai pu tester le jeu pendant 20 minutes, et j’en suis à la 7e grille sur 30 de la première histoire, niveau débutant (le jeu propose 4 niveaux de difficulté par histoire, soit 4x30 grilles). Actuellement, il est annoncé une dizaine d’histoires, disponibles en boutique ou qui seront sorties dans les mois à venir : autant dire la garantie de longues heures de jeu ! 
Divertissant et stimulant : vous l’aurez compris, j’ai trouvé le nouveau jeu qui ponctuera mes journées dans les transports ou pendant mes pauses !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour cet avis ! Je suis heureux que le jeu te plaise

### 5/5 — Super jeu

A new button shows the furniture in each case, the daily case now arrives at 9 a.m., and clues near walls are clearer. Plus a few small fixes.
