Daily Murder

Daily Murder, made in the United Kingdom by Mark Andrews of Keep Computing, turns the classic logic-grid puzzle into a short murder mystery. Each case has an Evidence tab with an illustrated briefing, witness statements and forensic findings, a Case Board that introduces the suspects, weapons and locations, and a Grid where you cross off pairings that cannot be true. The grid clears impossible pairings for you as you go. When only one killer, weapon and location are left, you make your accusation. Every case has one answer reachable by deduction, never by guessing.

Difficulty follows the week. Monday is easy, with four suspects; later days get harder and bring a lying witness whose statement you have to catch. On Sundays a conspiracy case links the killers of the week. Cases are generated from a cast of 60 suspects, 30 weapons and 144 locations, from country manors to seaside hotels and theatres, drawn in a sepia, typewriter style.

You can play in the browser with no account, or in the Android app, which adds offline play. A timer runs while you solve, and three informant hints are there when you are stuck. Signing in adds friends, weekly leagues that climb from Constable to Commissioner, scores and synced streaks, and the Case Files hold past cases. The game is free with ads; a one-time Detective's Pass removes them.

It suits players of Murdle and other logic-grid mysteries who want a short case each morning with a little more story around the clues.
