Clues By Sam is a browser-based logic game built around daily deduction tasks. Each puzzle presents a small group of characters whose roles must be determined using written clues. The player’s goal is to correctly classify every character as criminal or innocent using information that can be proven true. The game does not rely on speed, chance, or pattern recognition. Instead, it focuses entirely on structured reasoning and consistency. Every puzzle is independent and resets daily, which keeps each session contained and repeatable.
At the start of each puzzle, the player is shown a grid of characters. Each character has a name and an occupation, and one of them is already confirmed as either criminal or innocent. Along with that confirmation comes a single clue that serves as the foundation for all further reasoning. From this point onward, the player must analyze how that clue restricts the possible states of the remaining characters. The rules are strict: the game only allows a character to be labeled when the conclusion follows directly from the available information.
As the puzzle progresses, information is revealed in stages. Every time the player correctly labels a character, a new clue appears. These clues often describe relationships, numerical limits, or conditional statements that apply to multiple characters at once. The difficulty comes from combining several clues without contradiction. Early clues may seem vague, but they often gain importance later as new facts emerge and narrow the possibilities.
In the middle of a typical puzzle, players repeatedly focus on a core set of actions:
This process continues until every character has been classified.
The interface of Clues By Sam is designed to support careful analysis. Characters are displayed clearly in a grid, and clues are shown in plain text without visual noise. Players can visually reduce emphasis on clues they consider resolved, which helps manage complexity as the puzzle grows. There are no timers or penalties, allowing players to pause, reconsider, and review information as long as needed. The interface reinforces the idea that accuracy matters more than speed.
Once all characters are correctly labeled, the puzzle ends. A brief summary allows the player to review the final state of the grid. Because puzzles refresh daily, there is no long-term progression system or carryover advantage. Each new day offers a fresh challenge with the same rules and expectations. This structure encourages regular engagement without pressure.
Clues By Sam is designed for players who enjoy logic based on certainty. By eliminating guessing and enforcing proof at every step, it creates a focused environment for structured deduction. The daily format keeps puzzles concise while offering consistent opportunities to practice careful reasoning.
