Feels like a rough, very early prototype of a cool idea. I think it would be much more interesting if each clue was a question, like, “Frida, which room were you in at 10:30?” etc. Then I would actually need to think about how to use as few clues as possible. Now I don’t think there’s any way to get the answer right except by guessing until all the clues eliminating murder weapons.
The UI for filling in who is in which room isn’t great, it would make more sense to say which room each person is in than who is in each room - one person can just be in one room after all.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. The website is actually a prototype, with rules subject to change.

This sounds a little bit like Clue, right?

This UI is similar to the one murdle, which supposedly allow to make deduce (e.g. if someone is not in room A or B, then it must be in room C). I need to think on how to improve it..

You can simply flip the hierarchy - the top-level headline should be the person, and the subheading should be the room. That would make exactly the example you give easier, as all the information is collected in one place. And you don’t risk filling in that the person is in two rooms at the same time.
