The purpose of the Mystery Master website is to help you solve logic puzzles. To achieve this goal, the ultimate logic puzzle solver was created, the Mystery Master program! This program is written in Visual C#, Microsoft's new .NET language for computers running Windows. The Mystery Master program has solved every logic puzzle on this website! The program is not only easy to use, it is also very flexible. For example, you can specify the amount of assistance you need, from no assistance at all (you solve the puzzle manually), to complete assistance (the program will solve the puzzle for you). The program also provides puzzle-solving tools such as a chart, and can display as many grids as you like.
How can a program solve a logic puzzle? The answer is that for every logic puzzle on this site, there is a corresponding puzzle module for that puzzle. Think of a puzzle module as a file that contains data and rules just for that puzzle. These "mini-programs" (or "dll" files in computer terminology) are also written in Visual C#, and are custom-built to be run by the Mystery Master program. And for those who know a thing or two about programming, you can even write your own! You get the program, plus every puzzle module, when you make a donation.
The Mystery Master program is free to download so you can try it first with the puzzle "Spy Girls". For those who like to read them, there is a manual that explains how to use the program. And if you are curious to learn how the program was created, please take a look at our project page.
