Dokuverse: Murder Mysteries

Lord Wren is dead. Again. Somebody did it, and you can prove it.

No ads. Hints always free. Every case curated. 25 free cases + a new free case every Monday.

Dokuverse is a game of cozy murder mysteries and smaller crimes. There's a manor full of guests with motives, a café where every cat looks guilty and a walled garden where the lettuce keeps disappearing. Each case gives you a cast of suspects and a map. Work out where everyone was, and the culprit runs out of places to hide.

Cracking a case • Put each suspect on the map, one to a row and one to a column. • Test every alibi. Duchess swears she never left the window seat. The clues will say if she's lying. • Place the last suspect and the case is closed. Every case has exactly one answer, and you can always reach it by reasoning. You never have to guess.

Three worlds, three kinds of trouble • Ashcombe Manor: Lord Wren keeps getting done in, and every guest had a reason. Wry, a little theatrical and never gory. • Cat Café: somebody sent the vase off the counter and somebody ate the last macaron. Miso is acting far too innocent. • Gardoku: something got to the lettuce overnight, and the silvery trail leads straight to Sid the slug. Work out where everything is planted to prove which bed he raided.

A new crime every Monday Every Monday at 09:00 UTC, a fresh case lands at the manor, the café or the garden. It's free when it arrives, and it stays free. Miss a week and the Casebook keeps it for you. There's an optional reminder, with no streaks and no guilt.

Stuck on a suspect? Ask for a hint. First you get a nudge toward the clue that matters, then the reasoning behind it, and when a suspect has only one square left, a hint can put them there. There's no daily cap and nothing to pay.
