Who it is for
It is for people who like a logic puzzle with a story: work out who did it, where, and with what, from the clues alone.
If you have never done a logic grid, the how-to-solve section and the ten easy cases at the start are written for you.
How the cases work
- Read the story: it sets up the people, the places and the things.
- Work through the clues on the grid: a cross for what cannot be true, a tick for what must be.
- Keep going until every row and column has exactly one tick.
- Check your answer in the solutions booklet.
The cases get harder as the book goes on. Each case is checked by a computer solver to have exactly one solution.

Can I print copies for a class or a club?
Yes, as many as you need. Please link people to this page rather than uploading the files elsewhere.
