Black File #101Night Shift

Daniel Ellison, health inspector, was found dead at Marlow's Restaurant at 11:15 PM.

Place all 7 people using the evidence. Find who was alone with Daniel.

One person per row. One per column. Seats can hold people; objects can't.

How to play
  • Place all 7 people on the grid: one per row and one per column.
  • Dark squares are objects: nobody can stand there.
  • Faint chairs, sofas and stairs are seats. “Sitting” means on a seat; “standing” means on 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. 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 →
