Daily mystery & deduction games

Deduction games hand you a small mystery and a set of clues, and every answer can be worked out from what is in front of you. They take a little longer than a word puzzle, but the moment it all clicks is hard to beat.

Murdle wraps a logic grid in a short, funny murder mystery. Clues by Sam has you sort twenty suspects into innocent and criminal one clue at a time, and Clue Raider asks you to place a team of explorers in an ancient chamber. All three are free, and you need no special knowledge to play.
