## What is Murder Sudoku?

Sudoku meets murder mystery puzzles.

Murder Sudoku: Tiny Crimes turns whodunit mysteries into bite-sized logic puzzles. Every case gives you a grid of rooms, a victim, a handful of suspects, and a set of clues. Use deduction to work out where everyone was at the moment of the murder.

The rules are simple, the cases are not. No two people can share a row or column, every clue is true, and there is exactly one correct solution. Solve the board and the mystery resolves itself: the suspect left alone with the victim is your culprit.

No guessing. No luck. Just clues, logic, and a quiet little crime waiting to be cracked.

FEATURES
- Sudoku-style row and column deduction, reimagined as detective work
- Cozy, hand-illustrated crime scenes full of suspects, rooms, and props
- Endless cases, from gentle warm-ups to fiendish expert whodunits
- Competitive leaderboards to race other detectives
- Pencil notes to track your theories as the case comes together
- Pure logic puzzles, every case solvable by reasoning alone
- Short, satisfying sessions perfect for a coffee break or a commute
- Play fully offline, anywhere
- One-time purchase to remove ads. No subscriptions, ever

If you love whodunit mysteries, detective games, logic grids, brain teasers, or a clever Sudoku variant, Tiny Crimes hands you a fresh case to crack one clue at a time.

Follow the clues. Place the suspects. Find the killer. Can you crack every case?

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-09-02*

Met all the clue parameters to solve a hard level puzzle and said I failed…not wasting my time

**Developer response:** All puzzles have one, and only one, possible solution. If it said "failed" it's probably because you misread some of the clues. The hard level is actually quite hard. But I'll concede some of those clues could be better written as to avoid confusion, I will definitely get that fixed on the next update. 

Thank you for raising this issue!

### 5/5 — Love murdoku!!!!

*2026-09-02*

I love the animation style so much it reminds me of miffy the sweet lil’ bunny.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-08-26*

Was looking for this type of game (“Murdoku”) for so long, I have just downloaded and it is very easy to navigate, very intuitive, instructions are clear and the most important it’s fun !

**Developer response:** so glad to read this! i'm so happy you like my game

### 4/5 — Great app but ads are too much

*2026-08-21*

I love the app but the ads feel excessive there is one after every game that you can finish quickly so thats basically and ad a minute I love that it makes you money but maybe you could space it out tl maybe every 3 games or something

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I chose never to interrupt gameplay with ads, only between games because I thought that we'd be less disruptive. I'll consider spacing them out in case you finish cases very quickly though. Btw, there's a cheap one-off purchase to get rid of all ads for ever.

### 5/5 — Bonjour

*2026-08-14*

Bien mais j’aimerais bien qu’on sache qui est le tueur à la fin

**Developer response:** C'est le seul personnage qui reste dans la même pièce que la victime !

### 3/5 — Top score bug

*2026-08-11*

Love the game!! However, twice I’ve beat the daily challenge with the fastest time and my score doesn’t show.

**Developer response:** hi! this error should be fixed on version 1.13.0 onwards!

### 4/5 — Girl I ain’t paying $13

*2026-08-11*

For the love of god please just show me a 10 second random ad rather than the exact same 15 second ad asking me to pay you $13

### 2/5 — Doesn’t show accurate top 10- fake?

*2026-08-09*

It’s a fun little game, lots of ads but one time payment to remove. The thing that annoys me the most is that I believe that the top 10 results are either faked or something’s going wrong…! Twice if a scored fast enough on the hard daily challenge to place 6th and then 3rd on a following day, felt proud of myself both times and both times my scores never showed in the leaderboard. It acknowledges I’ve played the level as I can’t play again until tomorrow but does not give me my time and spot in the top 10. The fact it’s happened twice now is suspicious.

**Developer response:** they're definitely not fake. what you're seeing is a bug and I'll make sure it's fixed asap. thanks for reporting it

### 5/5 — Fantastic puzzles!

*2026-08-07*

Best game of its kind in the App Store and well worth the money. Thanks to the developer for making the game so good

**Developer response:** Hi! Believe me when I say that I will implement these two things you mentioned. Expect them on release 1.14.0

Thank you for giving my game a chance and taking the time to give me this feedback. It helps me make a better game

### 3/5 — Has potential!

*2026-08-05*

Needs 2 things in order to be 5 stars. Number 1: when you are placing a character, the Xs should be automatically placed along with that character. Number 2: it is VERY time consuming to have to scroll all the way down to the last level completed. The game should remember your place so that you aren’t wasting time scrolling and scrolling.

**Developer response:** Hi! Believe me when I say that I will implement these two things you mentioned. Expect them on release 1.14.0

Thank you for giving my game a chance and taking the time to give me this feedback. It helps me make a better game
