Move the cards in the boxes to match the same number (in Special Stages, the same suit). Tap a box to select the top card, then tap the destination box to move it to the top. In Normal Stages, you can move a card only if the destination box is empty or the top card has the same number. In Special Stages, you can move a card only if the destination box is empty or the top card has the same suit (same symbol). Clear the stage by filling every box with the same number (in Special Stages, the same suit).
Guilt Grid
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every suspect has an alibi. Only one fits the grid. Guilt Grid transforms murder mysteries into compact logic puzzles where every room, clue, weapon, and piece of evidence matters. Reconstruct the scene, determine where each suspect was standing, test their stories against the layout, and expose the only person who could have committed the crime. As investigations grow more difficult, you’ll face larger grids, misleading evidence, suspicious weapons, tangled timelines, and increasingly complicated alibis. THREE COLLECTIONS. 600 CASES. Begin with 200 cases in the Victorian Collection, then expand your Case Archive with the Noir Files and Wild West collections — each featuring 200 mysteries with its own atmosphere, characters, locations, and crimes. FEATURES • Solve 200 cases in the included Victorian Collection • Expand to 600 total cases with Noir Files and Wild West • Progress through Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert difficulties • Place suspects using spatial and logical clues • Analyze weapons, wounds, timelines, and physical evidence • Return each day for a new Daily Case • Revisit solved mysteries with Review Mode • Customize the game with collection-inspired themes and app icons • Use optional hints when an investigation goes cold • Play without creating an account From shadowy Victorian libraries and smoke-filled city streets to dusty saloons and frontier towns, every case hides a carefully constructed crime. Additional Case Collections are available as optional in-app purchases. Players who prefer an ad-free experience can also permanently remove banner and interstitial advertisements with the optional Remove Ads purchase. Study the clues. Rebuild the scene. Name the guilty. Welcome to Guilt Grid.
