Murdoku puzzle trend combines Sudoku logic with murder mysteries

A new puzzle trend known as ‘Murdoku’ is gaining popularity on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The game combines the logic of Sudoku with the mystery-solving elements of a murder investigation, similar to the board game Cluedo.

Players act as detectives, using cryptic clues to identify suspects, weapons, locations, and motives through a process of elimination. The game is available both online via murdoku.com and in physical puzzle book formats, making it an option for both digital and offline play.

Related mobile games like Enigmic are also seeing success by offering similar blends of logic and mystery, providing increasingly complex challenges that require careful note-taking to solve.
