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?

Verdict
