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?

A murder, a floor plan and seven suspects. Every clue is a logical statement (who stood next to whom, which room was empty, how far the body fell) and there is exactly one way to fit them all. That is an asesidoku: a pure deduction puzzle, no guessing, verified to have a single solution. AsesiDoku brings 2,000 original cases across six tiers, from 5×5 boards you solve at a glance to 8×11 extremes that take a whole afternoon. The same purchase opens the other half of the game: 2,000 classic sudokus, generated and verified, with the same six tiers, pencil notes and automatic note clearing. A CHALLENGE EVERY DAY A daily case in two versions (normal and extreme) plus a daily sudoku, always free. With streaks, a calendar and freezes for the days life gets in the way. TIME TRIALS Boards back to back on one running clock, with best times per distance. The clock pauses when you leave: nobody loses a record to a phone call. DUELS AND LEAGUES Challenge anyone with a code: you both play exactly the same boards and the fastest wins. Or run a two-week league with your group (3 to 12 people) where the fastest takes each day. No accounts, no server: results travel as codes you pass around. YOUR DETECTIVE An avatar with 85 pieces (faces, hairstyles, hats, glasses, animals) unlocked by real achievements: closed cases, streaks, clean races. The exclusive pieces cannot be bought: they are earned. LEARN BY PLAYING A tutorial that does not lecture: it makes you play. Three guided lessons on real cases, step by step, and a tier ladder that introduces each deduction technique when it is due. A FAIR DEAL Free forever: 500 cases and 500 sudokus across every tier, the full daily challenges, races, duels and leagues. An occasional ad, never during a game and never with the clock running. One payment, no subscription, opens all 4,000 boards and removes the ads. No energy, no lives, no coins: an old-school logic game. The whole game works offline (all 4,000 boards ship inside the app, nothing to download), in English or Spanish, with dark mode and a color-blind palette.
