Description

A timeline. Clues left by a Crime Traveler. Figure out where Suspects were at a given time. Only one person could be in the room with the Victim when they died: the Killer.

A fresh murder mystery puzzle invention inspired by hits like Murdle, Murdoku, and Murderooms. Use a few simple clues to deduce the entire timeline: where everyone was, and when. Check suspect alibis, see their past and future, and find the one person who was in the room with the victim when they died.

This is a free demo that contains a handful of Chronoclue puzzles. Try them! See what they’re all about!

Easy To Learn, Hard To Master: The rules easily fit on a single page. Read clues, apply their logic, find a killer and victim match (in the same room). But the concept of time and continuity is a powerful way to generate deep and surprising puzzles easily. What if someone was found dead at 9 PM, but perhaps died earlier? What if a poison needs an hour to take effect? What if someone had to pick up the murder weapon at some earlier point?

Batteries Included: You only need a pen(cil) to play. Full solutions are provided at the back. All volumes are standalone; you do not need to own any other Chronoclue book to enjoy this one. All puzzles are completely handcrafted. Computers wish they were able to generate these kinds of puzzles, but they can’t! Ha!

Scaling Difficulty: No need to learn a bunch of rules beforehand. The puzzles start small and easy, then slowly add extra rules and twists as you go. It’s never repetitive and the final puzzles will make you feel like a true deductive mastermind.

50 Unique Puzzles: Every puzzle contains a whimsical little story, a handful of clues, and of course a pretty timeline on which you can immediately start writing notes and making deductions. We wrapped it up in a professional visual design that puts you in the right mood.

Can you use your Crime Traveler’s powers to put the timeline back in order?

Can you unmask the killers and bring justice to the victims of the past?
