Kludoku

A case you place, not a story you type

Kludoku is a placement-deduction puzzle in the spirit of the classic murder-mystery logic books. The itch.io line is: somebody did it, and the board knows who. Every case gives you a floor plan, a cast of suspects, and their testimonies. Each statement narrows down where someone stood. You place everyone correctly, work out who was alone with the victim, and make your accusation.

It is a browser game. The listing says free, no install, it just plays. Status is Released. The platform is HTML5. The genre on the page is Puzzle. The tags include browser, casual, daily, deduction, Detective, logic, Mystery, Relaxing, and sudoku. The author is onnie81. Inputs are mouse and touchscreen. The average session is a few minutes.

What a day of Kludoku contains

Every day there are four new cases, from Beginner to Expert. Rooms run from cozy 5×5 boards to sprawling 10×8 estates. Some scenes are rectangular. Some hide a treasure. On the harder cases, one suspect is lying, or has a motive you have to untangle. The daily case is the same puzzle for everyone, every day, in four difficulties.

Accomplice cases make one testimony entirely false. You mark the liar and their statements invert. Motive cases are not finished when you know who. You have to prove why. Time attack uses the same daily board against the clock. Notes, pencil marks, what-if branches, and a hint system are there when you are stuck.
