A new murder mystery to solve every day

Daily Detective is a daily murder mystery game. Every day at midnight UTC, a brand-new case drops — complete with suspects, evidence, alibis, and contradictions. Interrogate suspects, examine clues, spot contradictions, and make your accusation — all within 10 moves. Every case is generated end-to-end and scored for fairness before it goes live, so each mystery is solvable and fair. Use code PRODUCT_HUNT for a free week of premium.
Tried it out and the 10-move constraint actually forces you to think carefully about what to ask, not just brute force every suspect. The generated cases feel coherent, which is honestly impressive for an automated mystery.
Love the idea of a fresh mystery every day with that 10 move constraint, sounds like a fun brain workout. One thing I'd really enjoy is a streak system or unlockable difficulty tiers, like once you solve 5 in a row you get a "hard mode" with extra suspects or trickier alibis. Would keep long term players engaged and add real reason to come back beyond just collecting cases.
tried this last night and the 10-move limit really changes how you read the clues, super engaging. the auto-generated cases feel surprisingly coherent for procedural mysteries.
Tried the midnight case last night and got completely stumped by the gardener's alibi. Love that every mystery is generated on the fly yet still feels logically airtight — the move limit really forces you to interrogate smart.
Love that every case gets scored for fairness before going live. That kind of quality control on generated content is exactly what most AI games skip, and it makes the 10-move format actually feel winnable instead of like guesswork.
The 10-move limit is great for keeping cases tight, but I'd love a "scratchpad" or notes feature built in so I can jot down contradictions as I find them. Trying to remember which suspect lied about what across multiple pieces of evidence gets messy fast, and I bet a little in-app notepad would make solving cases way more satisfying.
