Logic Puzzles from PunkStar Studios is a set of 25 super addictive and entertaining puzzles.
For those of you new to logic puzzles... it works like this:
- You are given a description of the scenario.
- You are given 4 "categories". They could be anything, last names, places, activities, all related to the scenario.
- Each category has 5 unique elements in it (5 last names, 5 modes of transportation, 5 murder weapons, etc.)
- You are given anywhere from 3 to 8 clues per puzzle. Using those clues you either cross off things that don't match up, or connect things that do.
- Using the process of elimination (and logic of course) you have to figure out how everything matches up. Some clues may not be obvious though, like "The woman who used the knife did not come from Scarborough" not only tells you that knife and Scarborough are not a match, but also that it was a female that used the knife so you can also cross of the male names.
We hope you enjoy playing these puzzles as much as we loved creating them and playing them.
Reviews
Love this app!

It reminds me of the Penny Press Logic Puzzle magazines I used to get. I can only give it 4 out of 5 stars though because I can't listen to my music when using this app. A lot of other game apps allow you to listen to your iPod music while in the app.
Not enough information.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to complete one puzzle out of the first four I tried without looking at the solution. It doesn't feel like there is enough information to solve the puzzles. I have another Logic puzzle app on my phone that I have no problems with. Solved one without hints... It might be a good idea to try rating them. Easy, hard, imposable.
Nice respite

This is a good break from the daily rigors. Though not as difficult as some I've played, the first few are decently challenging. Had the first one done in about an hour. Please do not give an application poor marks because you might not fully understand how to play. Thanks for this app.
annoying audio

Nice app but low rating because of its idiotic loud splash screen and pointless startup sound effects that kill my music for no good reason.
Will be buying the second batch of puzzles!

Perfect way to have logic puzzles readily available!
Pretty good

A pretty good app but would love to know which puzzles have been completed, a feature which is available in the second edition.
Where they go?

All puzzles vanished with the update. Added in the update was a link to buy more puzzles which is good but I want the 25 puzzles I already paid for back. Before I will consider buying more. Fix the app and rating will go up
Overall it's worth it

This app has a nice interface and many of the previous problems with puzzles have been fixed. However, there are occassional puzzles where assumptions need to be made (like Alex being a male name), ambiguous wording (John is not Mr. Smith, who is the one that came in 4th), certain information may need to be looked up (GM makes Buicks), and occasional misspellings (poinson instead of poison, preformed instead of performed). It does at least keep track of which puzzles have been completed. It's nice to see that they are continually working to improve it.
Waste of time

As others have stated, a clue will say "x is not y or z" but at the end, x will be z. Disappointing app all around.
