Solve cozy, crafty whodunits. Puzzle your way through nine unique investigations and use your noggin to make intelligent deductions. Explore the evidence, scrutinize statements, and connect the dots.
Mini Murder Mysteries is a cozy investigative deduction game made for fans of head-scratching whodunits.
- Solve cozy whodunits
Become a detective and solve a series of twisty, tricksy murder mysteries.
Examine evidence, read witness statements, and collect deduction words that you'll use to solve each case.
- Explore the evidence
Leave no stone unturned as you gather clues and discover truths. Cross-reference information, piece things together, and use lateral thinking.
- Scrutinize every statement
Witness or suspect? Every case offers "useful" input from people closest to the victim.
Along the way you'll encounter power-mad movers and shakers, innocent bystanders, gamblers, spies, liars and lotharios. And, who knows, maybe even a lifelong nemesis?
- Deduce the truth
Sort the coincidental from the crucial to make smart deductions. Each case revolves around 24 'Deduction Words' that you'll use to assert whodunit. The problem? You'll only need a handful of those words to make the correct conclusion.
Close your case list and you might even unravel a deeper, interconnected mystery...
Played the demo from Steam Fest a while back and enjoyed it, but didn’t commit to buying it just yet when it released. Saw it today in the appstore and I was immediately sold when I saw that it was optimized for portrait gameplay—so many games make me turn my phone and it ends up being too cumbersome to play casually. Portrait mode makes it a lot easier to just pick up and play. Took me about 2 hours to finish. Honestly it’s a bit more of a keyword game than it is a detective game, but I enjoyed the different scenarios and found them all pretty unique. I liked that there was a small overarching plot, too. Only thing I’ll say is that I wish we could turn off vibrations and replay cases without having to reset the game.
After update, it’s great!

Update: game is working great now. The new bug patch fixed my issues and I can play now! I love when developers listen to their audience and work to get these issues patched out. This is a cute game with fun puzzles. I’m usually not one to purchase games on my phone but this one is right up my alley. Great touch controls, bite sized mysteries, and I can pick up and play whenever it suits me. Changing to 5 stars!Prior to update: I was really excited to play this but I can’t even make it through case 1. The game constantly freezes and I just have to close out of it. I hope bug fixes are coming because I would like to actually get to play this without having to constantly close the app due to freezing.

Hi! Sorry about this. I’m rolling out an update in the next 24 hours that I’m pretty sure has fixed this - it’s a super niche bug that was hard to track down! -Adam.
Enjoyable - worth cost and

I had no bugs with this game. It ran fine, the plots were clever. I’d like more like this. The only thing is the mini-games run in succession. I would have liked to try a few others before being forced to finish the first. Just to understand mechanics. But well worth cost and doesn’t collect data! .
Really good but buggy

I really enjoyed this game. The cases are fun and interesting. They are hard but fair. My biggest problem was that the game kept locking up on me and I had to restart the game for it to start working again. Once I even got locked into a loop where I solved a puzzle and when I went back to the menu the only option I had was to go back to the puzzle I had just solved. The only way forward was to reset the game and redo all the puzzles I had completed.

Hi! Sorry you had this experience, but thanks for the positive review! Prior builds did have a bug that caused crashing on certain iPhone models, but I think v1.1.4 has fixed this! Regarding the bug where you completed a level but it didn't register, would you mind letting me know which level this was? And can I ask if you clicked on 'next case' at the end of the case wrap-up? I'm just wondering if this happened because you quit/left the app at some point between submitting the correct solution and that button appearing? Thank you! - Adam
- Fixed a game-breaking issue on the first case introduced in the last update
