Daily Murder

Daily Murder is a logic-deduction puzzle. A new murder mystery drops every morning at midnight. You get a briefing, witness testimony, and forensic reports. Your job is to work an elimination grid and figure out who did it, with what, and where.

No guessing. Every puzzle has one solution, reachable by deduction alone. A constraint solver checks each case before it goes live.

Monday starts small — four suspects, straightforward clues. Good for getting the hang of it. By Friday you're dealing with six of everything, a lying witness, and motive deduction. Solve all seven days and a conspiracy case unlocks on Sunday, connecting the week's killers.

Controls are simple. Tap a grid cell to cross it off. Tap again to confirm a match. The grid handles auto-elimination — if you confirm a suspect with a weapon, every other suspect-weapon pairing gets crossed off. Undo and clear buttons if you paint yourself into a corner.

Built solo over six months. SvelteKit frontend, Python puzzle generator, Cloudflare CDN. No AI writes the content — the procedural engine assembles cases from a library of 60 suspects, 30 weapons, and 176 locations, then proves each one solvable.
