Murdoku: What fever is this that turns everyone into detectives?

Sábado29 August 2026 at 08:00

Puzzle or enigma books are becoming a sales phenomenon, turning readers into amateur detectives. Known as Murdoku, these books challenge readers to solve crimes with just a pencil, following clues and false leads throughout the pages.

The criminal universe has always been attractive to the public, and these books explore this fascination in an interactive way. Readers become protagonists of the investigations, using logic and deduction to identify the culprits.

In Portugal, versions of these puzzle books are already available, showing that the international trend has reached the Portuguese market. The phenomenon demonstrates that there is great public interest in crime-solving challenges that can be solved autonomously.
