The smartest way to play Clue. Track every suggestion, see exactly who holds what, and let the solver crack the case while you focus on the game. Clue Solver is an independent companion app for the classic mystery deduction board game. It replaces your paper detective notepad with a real-time deduction engine that reasons through every turn — tracking card ownership, resolving ambiguous clues, calculating envelope probabilities, and explaining exactly why each deduction was made. WHAT IT DOES - Records each suggestion and tracks which player showed a card (or didn't) - Automatically deduces card ownership and envelope contents from the game's logic - Shows live probabilities for every unknown card based on feasible solutions - Explains its reasoning in plain language so you can verify and learn - Detects contradictions when a turn entry doesn't fit the evidence - Provides a traditional detective notepad grid with tap-to-mark cells - Includes a freehand drawing layer for personal notes on top of the grid SETUP IN UNDER A MINUTE Choose your edition, enter player names and seat order, select your hand, and start investigating. Saved case files let you pause and resume across sessions. BUILT FOR REAL GAMES AT REAL TABLES This is not a digital board game. It's a tool for one player sitting at a physical table. Enter turns in seconds, glance at the Cards or Players tab for instant insight, and keep your strategy private. EDITIONS Supports Classic Clue and Alfred Hitchcock editions, with more editions coming soon. This app is not associated with, endorsed by, or affiliated with Hasbro or any board game manufacturer.

About

Daily Suspect

Features
Read full description

Every day, a new murder. Five suspects. One of them is lying — and only you can prove it. Daily Suspect drops a fresh case every morning. Read the evidence one clue at a time, study each suspect's file, and name the killer. Crack it in as few clues as you can — the sharper you are, the higher you score. Then share a spoiler-free result card and watch the group chat lose their minds trying to beat it. This is deduction. Not luck. Not a coin flip. You, the facts, and one guilty person hiding in plain sight. THE PART OTHER MYSTERY GAMES WON'T ADMIT Most "daily mystery" apps fake it. The case gets spat out by an AI, and half the time the logic doesn't even hold — you lose to a puzzle that was never solvable in the first place. Nothing kills the fun faster. Daily Suspect is built the opposite way. Every single case is generated and verified by code before it ever reaches you. One killer. One airtight chain of logic. A solution you could always have reasoned your way to. No dead ends. No cheap "gotcha." A fair fight, every day — which is exactly why it's so satisfying when you nail it. HOW IT PLAYS • Meet the five suspects and take in the scene. • Reveal clues one at a time — use fewer, score higher. • Open any suspect's file for their testimony and the inspector's notes. • Make your accusation. It's final. Choose carefully. • See exactly how the killer slipped up — then share your card, spoiler-free. ONE CASE A DAY. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. No endless grind. No countdown timers breathing down your neck. No ads jammed into the middle of your investigation. Just one tight, clever mystery to crack with your morning coffee — and a fresh one waiting tomorrow. It's the two minutes of your day that make you feel smart. Everyone plays the same case each day. So compare. Brag. Argue about who spotted it first. ALWAYS FREE Today's case is free. Forever. No catch, no wall. WHEN ONE ISN'T ENOUGH • Detective's Archive — unlock every past case and binge months of murders whenever the mood strikes. • Detective themes — dress your desk in collectible noir. Purely cosmetic. Zero advantage, ever. Five suspects are waiting. One of them is guilty. Today's case is already open. Can you catch the killer?
