Pool & Spa — Murdoku Cases

Changing rooms, a poolside and a plant room — cases where most of the plan is a single wet space.

The Pool & Spa Setting

The pool hall itself, changing rooms, showers, a lifeguard station, a sauna, the plant room behind a door nobody looks at, a sun terrace. Like the supermarket, this is one dominant space with small rooms around its edge, but here the small rooms are the interesting ones.

Solving a Pool & Spa Case

The dominant pool hall means the deduction usually runs the other way round: instead of narrowing someone into a room, you work out who could not have been in one of the small edge rooms. A good theme for practising negative clues.

Rooms You Will Search

A case picks its floor plan from this theme’s room pool, so the same places recur across the drawer and you learn to read them: Main Pool, Paddling Pool, Sunbathing Lawn, Sauna, Steam Room, Slide Tower, Massage Room, Relaxation Room, Locker Room, Showers, Restroom, Kiosk, Bar, Reception, Terrace. No single case uses all of them — the generator and the hand-built cases alike take a subset, which is why two cases in the same setting can still feel unalike.

What This Drawer Holds

8 cases — 2 easy, 2 medium, 4 hard, on boards from 6×6 to 8×8. Every one is verified to have a single solution reachable by forward deduction alone, so none of them needs a guess.
