I played 3 rounds now and I get the feeling the clues aren’t always enough to deduce the next assignment. Which is too bad, because the game itself is fun

Since I’ve gotten the hang of it, I’ve not encountered a puzzle where any choice was a guess. It certainly felt that way at times when I first started, though.
ImminentOrbit@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I agree. Every time I’m sure that the game is wrong, when I look and rethink I understand my mistake. There is a subreddit for this game where they discuss it, but nothing here on Lemmy. I wonder if there is enough interest here to start one?

So it’s not just me. I’ve had times with this game that the clue is pretty blatant and it claims I don’t have enough info.

There was no logic behind Bruce (judge in a2)

you’re missing something. been playing for a few months, only one time ran into a bugged puzzle and Sam had it corrected within a couple hours of release.
MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Yeah, it seems I need to give myself more time to properly think through the clues

Pretty disappointing that it doesn’t allow you to access old puzzles.
badabim@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You can access them through the wayback machine

Nice, thanks!

Sign up for his newsletter and he emails out the previous week’s puzzles, as well as since bonus ones.

their business model I guess
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Out that there’s lack of logic in current ones.

I’ve played this game for over a month now, maybe two, and I haven’t encountered a single instance of that happening. The next answer is always deducible by logic. I have gotten stuck plenty of times, and a few times I even thought the game was totally and definitely wrong, only for me to realise that I missed something.
If you continue playing, you should know that the games get harder as the week goes on. The weekend ones tend to sometimes take me 15-20 minutes to work out.

there isn’t.

I was stuck on the same one.
Take Peter’s hint: It says that either Sofia or Wanda are criminals, so there’s exactly 2 confirmed criminals, 2 confirmed innocents and Bruce on Column B.
Now take Gabe’s hint: There cannot be 3 criminals on Column B, so Bruce needs to be innocent.

got it, thanks

Wonder if there’s enough interest in this to create a comm for it. Or maybe a more generic ‘daily game’ thing

I love this game! Since a streamer I like was playing it once, I’ve been hooked. If anyone is having trouble, scrolling down in the page had some explanations of some clues.

Pretty clever and surprisingly difficult, I was stuck on Bruce for the longest time.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That was fun. Three mistakes before I got it.

It won’t let me continue no matter who I pick or what I pick
ImminentOrbit@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Look at Oscar and Tom. How many innocents in row 5? What does that mean for Sofia’s other neighbors?
Katana314@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m pretty stuck on this one. cluesbysam.com/s/help/01c315cae125?state=bEzQ-AAA… The hint has me pointed towards C5, but only based on a hint about edges. There are 5 unknown people on the edges, not counting two in the left corner of which one is innocent and one is guilty. So I have no idea what its clues are trying to say matters here.

Why bother catching the criminals on Jan 6th? They'll all get pardoned anyway.
