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

Great puzzler, needs updating!

This is a great little puzzle game, which unfortunately currently has a game breaking bug where the last clue is cut off. This makes the games unsolvable without having to guess. I hope the dev sees this and gets an update out!

A favorite!

Why don’t more people know about this game? It’s one of the best. Please make an iPAD version.

Been playing since 2008

I’ve been playing this game off and on since 2008. I keep coming back to it as a way to occupy a few to a lot of minutes.

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.
