Broken with iPadOS 27

I’ve been happily playing this game since 2010 but the recent OS update has broken this game on iPad (though it still works on iPhone).
Sadly the developer appears to have vanished, no update in 5 years and the support website is gone. Looks like we can no longer enjoy this game.
Goodbye!

Stopped working on iPad with iOS 27!

I love this app, and have been using it for years! It still works on my iPhone on iOS 27, however, on the iPad while it loads and it will open every menu item except the play when you click to play the app quits. It doesn’t seem that there’s a current contact point for the developer, wonder if there’s any way to fix this! What a sad moment in history this is truly a great app. It’s a lot more fun to play on the iPad, but if I’m stuck with just the iPhone version, I guess that’s it.

Great puzzle game!

Nice, straightforward logic puzzle game. Can be a little fiddly to tap the right answers on phone but it’s a minor quibble. Fantastic!

Best logic game

I love the Einstein’s Riddle / Zebra Puzzle games. Marple is still my all-time favorite. Thanks

FAQ

What is Marple?

Marple is a logic and deduction puzzle game where players arrange 20 tiles into the correct order. The game provides a set of clues to guide the deduction process, helping players figure out the tile placement through elimination.

How does the clue system work?

The game features four types of clues: 'In between' indicates a tile is between two others, 'Left of' means one tile is to the left of another, 'Same column' requires tiles to be in the same column, and 'Next to' means tiles are adjacent. These clues help players narrow down possibilities.

Is Marple free to play?

Based on the information provided, Marple is a paid application. It does not appear to have in-app purchases or advertisements, suggesting a one-time purchase model.

What makes Marple different from Sudoku?

While both are logic puzzles, Marple focuses on deductive reasoning and spatial relationships between tiles based on textual clues. Sudoku, on the other hand, involves filling a grid with numbers based on row, column, and block constraints.

What if I get stuck on a puzzle?

Marple includes a helpful hint system designed to assist players. This system highlights the next clue you should focus on and provides detailed explanations of the next steps you should take to solve the puzzle.
