Clue Raider

An ancient chamber, six explorers and one hidden relic. Clue Raider asks you to place each explorer from the clues, and the square left empty is where the treasure lies.

How Clue Raider works

Study each clue. Each clue tells you something about where explorers stand.

Place explorers. Select an explorer, then double click a cell to place them.

Take notes. Mark possible spots and rule them out as you go.

Find the relic. When all six are placed, one square is left. Submit to reveal the relic.

The order of a solve

A solve runs the same way every day: read the clues, make notes, rule out squares, place all six explorers, then submit to reveal the relic. Skipping the notes is where most wrong boards come from.

The empty square is a clue too

Since exactly one square stays empty, every placement narrows where the relic can be. Near the end, ask which squares could still be empty. Sometimes that is easier than working out where the last explorer stands.

Common Clue Raider questions

How many explorers are there?

Six explorers, and each one has to be placed on the map grid.

What are some games like Clue Raider?

Murdoku Online also has you place people on a board from clues, and Daily Murder uses a logic grid to find a killer. Both have guides on Megadle.

Clue Raider strategy

  • Place the explorer with the most specific clue first.
  • Notes are your friend. Mark every square an explorer could still be in.
  • If two explorers can only fit the same two squares, nobody else can use them.
  • Before you submit, read every clue once more against the finished board.
