Someone in this house is lying. Alibi is a murder-mystery logic puzzle. Every suspect gives a statement about where they stood — a row, a column, a room, a piece of furniture, who they were standing next to. None of them lie. Cross-check the statements, place every suspect on the floor plan, and one truth falls out: the suspect who shared the victim's room is the murderer. No timers. No luck. Just deduction. HOW IT PLAYS • Read each suspect's statements from the case deck • Place them square by square on the floor plan • Every case is generated with exactly one solution and verified before you see it — it can always be reasoned out • Name the murderer, then watch the board reveal who you placed right and who you missed THREE TIERS, THREE KINDS OF THINKING • Easy — 5 suspects and direct clues only. Correct placements confirm themselves while you learn the ropes. • Medium — 7 suspects, plus negative clues ("there was no chair next to her") and suspects who name each other. • Hard — 9 suspects on the largest floor plans, with the trickiest clue mixes. TEN FLOOR PLANS, TWELVE SUSPECTS A lakeside villa, a riverboat, a grand hotel, an art museum, a penthouse and more — each with its own rooms, furniture and geometry. Twelve illustrated characters rotate through the cases as victim or suspect. HINTS THAT TEACH Stuck? Reveal a suspect and Alibi places one for you — along with the exact clues that pin them to that square. The hint shows you the reasoning instead of just handing over the answer. GOT IT WRONG? Retry up to twice per case. The solution stays sealed while you still have attempts.

Every case gives you the floor plan of a place and the suspects' statements. Each statement only says where someone stood: "She was next to the fireplace." "She was south of Editha." "He was petting a dog." You place every suspect on a square. Nobody shares a row or column with anyone else, nobody stands on an occupied square, and the rest follows from the statements. In the end exactly one arrangement remains, and one suspect stands alone with the victim in a room. That is the culprit. Every case has exactly one solution, and you can reach it without guessing. For every step there is a card you can point at. If you are stuck, you are missing a deduction, not luck. The Castle file is completely free, all 80 cases of it. After that come the Wild West, the Pirate Ship and the Flower Village, each world with its own 80 cases as a single purchase, Season 1 also as a bundle. Eight bonus cases can be played beforehand. The boards grow from six by six squares with five suspects to ten by ten with nine. While solving, you get a pencil for notes, crosses that fill in as you place people, a ghost mode for uncertain candidates, and hints. The app shows ads: a banner below the board and optional videos for hints and helpers. Any purchase removes the banner. There is no subscription and no energy mechanic. The app needs no account and no internet connection, purchased content also lives on the device. Languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese.
