Murdoku 3 Auf Weltreise is a puzzle book with 80 logic puzzles built around mysterious murder cases. You take on the role of the investigator, examine the crime scene, place the suspects on the grid and work out who did it. The principle combines the elegant simplicity of sudoku with the storytelling of tricky logic problems, and it works for beginners and experienced solvers alike.

This third volume in the Murdoku series takes you across every continent. The colourful puzzles lead from Paris to the beaches of Fiji and the race track in Monaco, and even Antarctica is included; the cover also names Kyōto and Arusha. The book is written in German, and the earlier volumes are not a requirement for starting here.

The task is always the same: find out who the murderer is by working out who was in the same area as the victim. Each suspect stood in a different row and column. Some objects can be occupied, such as chairs, beds or cars, while others cannot, such as trees, bushes, tables or shelves. The victim lies in the last available square.

New in this volume are cases whose crime scene stretches across several grids. Each grid then holds one person per row and one person per column, unless stated otherwise. The introduction works through an example step by step.

Before the puzzles comes the briefing: how Murdokus are solved on page 4, an overview of the objects on page 7, explanations of the terms on page 8, the section on multiple grids on page 9, advanced tips on page 10 and frequently asked questions on page 11. The puzzles start on page 12, the solutions from page 176, and the contributors are listed on page 224. Two examples: puzzle 27 in a stadium in São Paulo and puzzle 80, a case that links Paris and London.

Volume 1 and volume 2 Auf Zeitreise are also available from us, so you can give them together.
