Reviews

  • 謎解き+英語の勉強

    楽しい時間を過ごせます。英語の勉強にもなるかなぁと思って思い切って買いました。

  • Good book

    Can sharpen your memory and great as a past time game.

  • I’m a puzzle addict. I can’t go a day without solving something, and Murdle Volume 1 hits that sweet spot like nothing else. It’s not just a puzzle book—it’s a full-blown mystery experience. Each challenge is multidimensional, asking you to figure out who, what, and where—like playing Clue, but on steroids. The logic puzzles are brilliantly constructed, and the format is so thoughtfully designed that it feels like you're stepping into a detective’s notebook. What I especially love is how it doesn’t throw you into the deep end right away. It builds your detective muscles gradually—starting with puzzles that are approachable, then ramping up to hard, super hard, and finally, nearly impossible. It’s a workout for your brain, and the progression makes the victories feel earned. Murdle is essentially a set of murder mysteries, each one a compact case waiting to be cracked. The storytelling is sharp, the clues are layered, and the satisfaction of solving each one is unmatched. You’ll need quiet time to focus, because these puzzles demand your full attention. And once you start? Forget stopping at just one. It’s pure brain candy—addictive, satisfying, and endlessly clever. If you love deduction, storytelling, and the thrill of cracking a case, Murdle isn’t just a book—it’s your new obsession.

  • Im not a Book - person and it’s hard to me to stay focused and interested. Usually I start something and then keep getting distracted by my phone or tv. But this book kept me occupied for hours! Love it

  • Love the book. It's really nice quality and every case is really interesting. Will definitely buy 2nd one when I finish this one

  • Superleuk puzzelboek, love it!

  • This is a nice murder puzzle book. I love that it has different level of difficulty. As you get the hang of it, the faster you can solve the case.
