Welcome to our newest site - Clueprint Puzzles

These "murder mystery" puzzles require you to use logic and spatial reasoning to determine the location of every suspect in the house at the time the body was discovered. Whoever is located inside the murder room is your killer.

As with any new puzzle type, I'd really appreciate it if you would post any problems or bugs here or email them to me at puzzlebaron@gmail.com.

Thanks as always!

Wow, what a cool concept for puzzles! Thank you!

It's interesting that we are now allowed to share a link to an individual puzzle. I've never seen that here before! Are points given to players who solve a puzzle from a given link? If so, that seems problematic.

No points are awarded and no stats saved on shared puzzles.

Cool, that makes sense

I found a small bug with layout. I'm using Firefox, and I found a situation where hovering over a particular name in a clue causes all the clues flicker rapidly. The puzzle I can reproduce it on is here: https://clueprint.puzzlebaron.com/share.php?c=2T6H23BH

To reproduce the bug, hover over Estelle's name in either clue 1 or clue 5. The first line of clues doesn't normally word wrap, but once Estelle's name is highlighted, then it does. Word wrapping her name though changes your selection, so that her name is no longer under the mouse. It alternates between the two states about 10 times a second for me. Fonts on different machines may make this difficult for another person to reproduce, but I thought I'd at least report it.

EDIT: After your fix, I didn't see it again. Thanks!

Great catch - I believe that issue should now be fixed. Please let me know if you see it again.

Fantastic addition to the site! The puzzles have been challenging and the logic is fun to master. The UI was a bit hard to grasp at first (the sheer amount of buttons can be fairly intimidating at first, especially coming from the simple "x or o" inputs of Logic Puzzles or Star Battle, the two puzzles I think it shares its DNA with the most), but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty smooth sailing (being able to click and drag the portraits was the real dealmaker here - without that feature, assigning someone to a square would feel a lot more tedious).
