Mini Murder Mysteries

Mini Murder Mysteries is an investigative deduction game in which you solve nine distinct, self-contained murder cases. You examine crime scenes, study evidence and witness statements, and decide what happened and who is responsible. The cases draw on detective-fiction settings, from dusty old manors and Ancient Egyptian museum exhibits to restaurant kitchens and biochemical labs.

Investigate the cases

Each case has a murder board filled with evidence, including correspondence, fingerprint reports, burner phones and red herrings. You read about the objects, cross-reference information and collect special Deduction Words to help build a picture of the crime. Witnesses and suspects offer accounts that you must assess, sorting truth from lies and relevant details from distractions.

Make your deductions

Each of the nine cases revolves around 24 Deduction Words, but only a handful are needed to reach the correct conclusion. You use lateral thinking to identify which words support your explanation of whodunit. Solving the cases may also uncover a deeper, interconnected mystery.
