Logic puzzles across time

Murdoku: Back in Time pairs grid-based deduction with self-contained murder-mystery scenes. Solvers use clues to place suspects among details such as rooms, furniture, plants, and animals; their locations reveal the killer. A time portal gives the puzzles a range of settings, from the Stone Age and ancient Egypt to medieval times, the Old West, and the Golden Age of Piracy. The book brings together sudoku-like logic and the clue-mapping approach of classic grid puzzles, with each crime scene offering a fresh set of details to interpret.

Book overview

THE RUNAWAY HIT SERIES WITH MORE THAN 1 MILLION COPIES IN PRINT

This USA Today bestselling series--with more than one million copies sold worldwide--returns with more innovative puzzles that incorporate murder mysteries, environmental storytelling, sudoku-like logic ... and now, time travel!

Place the suspects, reveal the killer!

These visually appealing, addictive puzzles drop solvers into immersive mini murder mysteries, combining features of classic Japanese-style logic puzzles like sudoku with the storytelling of classic grid logic problems. Each Murdoku grid is its own unique crime scene in which every detail is important: rooms, furniture, plants, animals, and most importantly, the suspects.

Using the clues, you must find each suspect's location to reveal the killer. This time, though, there's a twist: you've stumbled upon a time portal that's brought you to the past. You'll visit the Stone Age, medieval times, the Old West, ancient Egypt, and the Golden Age of Piracy on your way back to your own time.

Each era has its own flavor, but one thing is always true: there are murders to solve. Are you up for the challenge?
