Decks and cabins on open water: nobody boarded, nobody left. The Aurora plays like a floating manor with tighter rooms — beside-claims along the rails and one strong cabin clue usually set the course.
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: Bridge, Saloon, Dining, Cabin, Engine, Deck, Galley, Hold, Lounge.
14 features the testimonies point at: crate, chest, bed, floor lamp, clock, stove, armchair, wooden chair, sofa, mirror, desk, window, painting, carpet — 6 block a square outright; 3 a suspect can sit on; 1 long enough to lie on, covering two squares; 3 mounted on a wall edge, taking no square but anchoring "beside" claims; 1 flat underfoot, which a suspect can stand on.
The Steamship Aurora has hosted 8 days of shared cases, first on 23 July 2026 and most recently on 25 August 2026. 185 investigations have been opened on it, and 44% ended in the right accusation. The fastest anyone has closed a case here is 0:15.

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 Steamship Aurora's own, measured over the 8 days it has hosted.
