Murdoku
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ari is missing, and somebody in the village was the last to see her. Every neighbor has a card saying where they were. Place them on the map, one to a row and one to a column, and the square left over is where Ari was — and whoever was alone with her there did it. It is a logic puzzle, not a guessing game. Every case has exactly one answer and every case can be reasoned out completely. No timers you cannot beat, no lives to run out of, no move that punishes you for thinking. Two hundred cases. Seventy gentle ones to learn on, eighty that take some working out, and fifty that will keep you up. Play at your own pace. Every case is open from the start. Leave one half-finished and come back to it next week; it will be exactly where you left it. Beat your own time. Solved cases keep your best, so a case you have already closed becomes something to race. Plays completely offline. No account needed, and it works on a plane. In English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese and Italian.
