Good ThingWhich browser detective game should you play?
A detective game can ask you to place people in a room, test an identity, fill a logic grid or choose the next question. These four games are made by Good Thing. Here is how their puzzles differ, so you can choose a starting point.
Murdok
You like maps, room layouts and figuring out where everyone stood.
Every witness tells the truth. Put the people back in the rooms, and let the scene reveal the answer.
Play Murdok ↗Clues & Lies
You enjoy testing identities against a written evidence record.
Read the record. Test an identity. Follow the evidence through a compact browser mystery.
Play Clues & Lies ↗Murdex
You prefer ruling out combinations in a logic grid.
A case, a web of relationships, and a question: which explanation survives the evidence?
Play Murdex ↗Ask the Truth
You want a strange story that unfolds through your questions.
A strange story is only the beginning. Choose your questions and uncover what really happened.
Play Ask the Truth ↗Start with the kind of deduction you enjoy
In Murdok, a clue changes where somebody can stand. In Clues & Lies, it helps you test an identity. Murdex turns evidence into possible and impossible combinations. Ask the Truth makes choosing a useful question part of the investigation. Pick the action that sounds enjoyable, rather than treating the four games as difficulty levels.

Try one meaningful move
Before committing to a full case, read one clue and explain to yourself what it rules out. If the connection feels clear, keep going. If you prefer a different kind of evidence, return here and try another format. The links below open the games directly.
