The short answer

Looking for a game like Murdle on iPhone or iPad? Try UnMask: murder mysteries you solve with sudoku-style logic on a floor plan. The tutorial and 800 cold cases are free.

What makes Murdle so good?

Murdle, the puzzle series by G.T. Karber, turns logic grids into tiny murder stories: a handful of suspects, weapons and places, and clues that leave exactly one answer. That mix of story and pure deduction is what hooks people — and what to look for next.

Murdle vs UnMask

Both are logic first: no guessing, one provable killer. The difference is how you solve and where you play.

If you can solve a Murdle, you can solve this

The skills carry over one to one. Instead of ticking boxes in a grid, you place suspects on a floor plan — and the board shows you who was alone with the victim.
