## What is Cluedoku?

There's been a murder in the sudoku grid, detective. Every suspect has an alibi. Almost every.

Cluedoku is a cozy detective puzzle where classic sudoku logic meets a murder mystery. Read witness statements, cross off impossible cells and pin down the culprit. No guessing, ever: every case has exactly one solution, and you can reach it by pure deduction.

HOW A CASE WORKS
• Every clue card is a witness statement: "Emma was sitting on a chair", "Boris was beside the fireplace"
• Place each suspect in their row and column, sudoku-style
• Corner the last liar and close the case

A NEW CASE EVERY DAY
One fresh mystery lands daily. Solve it, keep your streak alive and chase the perfect loupe rating.

INVESTIGATE THE WHOLE TOWN
Suburb homes, a corner shop, a cafe, an office: every location has its own rooms, furniture and stories.

1000+ CASES, FROM EASY TO EXPERT
A story campaign eases you in, daily cases keep you sharp, and Hard and Expert modes on grids up to 10x10 will bend your brain. New cases are added all the time, and they work offline: solve on a plane, on the metro, anywhere.

HINTS THAT TEACH, NOT TELL
Stuck? Smart hints walk you through the next logical step instead of spoiling the answer, so you become a better detective with every case.

PLAY TOGETHER
• Ranked duels: race a rival detective on the same case
• Leagues: climb from Wood to Diamond, week by week
• Co-op: crack a case together with a friend

MAKE IT YOURS
50+ achievements, trophies, a customizable detective avatar and detailed statistics for the true crime nerds.

PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Indonesian and Vietnamese: cases, clues and hints are fully localized.

Cluedoku Plus, an optional subscription, removes all ads and unlocks unlimited hints, unlimited Hard and Expert cases, full statistics and exclusive avatar styles. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Terms: https://cluedoku.app/terms Privacy: https://cluedoku.app/privacy

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-27

• Three new languages: European Portuguese, Dutch and Catalan. Cluedoku now plays in 19.
• Two new clue types: "in the kitchen or the backyard", and a compound card that joins two facts in one statement.
• Harder cases in every location, and a higher ceiling in Hard and Expert.
• Every clue card now explains the rule it turns on, and a card that repeated itself now says it once.
• Fixes, including a hint that could point at the wrong suspect.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-20

Your league can warn you now: if a rival pushes you out of the promotion zone, your phone says so while there is still time to play. Plus a round of small fixes.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-14

There are gifts now, on two counts: one for keeping your daily streak going, one for closing cases. The streak screen and the home screen both show how close the next one is, never what's inside. New players get a short hands-on introduction before their first case, and the rest of the update is small fixes, a lot of them.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-12

No release notes.
