Bench, dock, gallery: a room built for testimony hosts its own murder. The Courtroom’s rigid seating turns furniture claims into near-placements — and everyone’s statement is on the record.
One of Kludoku's 23 crime scenes. The rules never change — place every suspect from testimony alone, and whoever ends up beside the victim did it. What changes is the map, and the map is what decides whether a case falls open or fights back.
9 rooms: Courtroom, Jury Box, Judge's Chambers, Gallery, Evidence Room, Hallway, Holding Cell, Press Room, Archive.
13 features the testimonies point at: desk, armchair, wooden chair, bookshelf, potted plant, painting, window, carpet, statue, computer, floor lamp, clock, bonsai — 8 block a square outright; 2 a suspect can sit on; 2 mounted on a wall edge, taking no square but anchoring "beside" claims; 1 flat underfoot, which a suspect can stand on.
The Courtroom has hosted 7 days of shared cases, first on 11 August 2026 and most recently on 14 September 2026. 360 investigations have been opened on it, and 71% ended in the right accusation. The fastest anyone has closed a case here is 0:08.

Board is columns × suspects, and rooms is how many regions that grid is cut into — both set by the difficulty, not by the scene. Testimonies is how many statements it took before exactly one arrangement survived, assumptions the assume-and-test rounds needed once plain elimination ran dry, and liar the share of cases hiding an accomplice whose every word is false. Those three are The Courtroom's own, measured over the 7 days it has hosted.
