Difficulty: Detective (rank 4 of 8). Solution posted tomorrow.
How to play
- Place all 7 people on the grid, the victim too: one per row and one per column.
- Dark squares are objects: nobody can be there.
- Stand on any empty square or on stairs, or sit on a chair or sofa. “Sitting” means on a chair or sofa; “standing on the floor” means an empty square.
- The map has four zones. “Next to” means up, down, left or right inside the same zone.
- Crime-zone rule: the killer was alone with the victim, so the victim's zone holds exactly two people.
- All evidence is true. North is up, west is left. “Farther west/north” compares columns/rows only, and the victim counts in every clue. Every case has exactly one solution.
Tap a person, then a square. Use ✕ Rule out to cross off squares and ✎ Notes to pencil in several possible people per square. Crosses and notes are optional and never count when you check. Tap a clue to mark it used. Full rules and tips →
