Casebook Game
Casebook is a logic grid puzzle. Every case is a small house: a few people, a few rooms and one more thing each, such as a pet. You work out who goes with what from the clues, with ticks and crosses on the grid. Every case has one answer, and the clues lead you to it without guessing. New to logic grids? Press Learn to play on the start screen for a short walk through a case.
Work out who is in which room, and with what, from the clues. Tick the pairs that go together and cross out the rest.
How to play
- Each person is in one room and has one more thing, such as a pet. No two people share a room or a thing.
- Use the clues to fill in a room and one more thing for every person, with ticks in the top two blocks. The clues stay on the screen while you solve.
- Tap a square once for a cross, to rule a pair out, twice for a tick, to say they go together, and a third time to clear it. A tick crosses out the rest of its row and column in that block for you.
- Tap a clue's number to mark it as used, so you can see which clues still have work to do.
- The bottom block is a place for notes, for clues that don't name a person. You can leave it empty.
- The case closes once every person has the right room and thing. If everyone has one but something is wrong, the game names the clues your answer breaks.
Choose a level on the start screen. Easy is a small house with a few clues. Normal, the default, adds a person, a room and a thing. Hard is larger again, and some of its clues give you a choice of two, such as "The cat belongs to Dev or Raj." On a keyboard, the arrows move, Space or Enter cycles a square, X crosses, T ticks, Backspace clears and U undoes. Escape pauses.
