The game

As an adaptation of the award-winning boardgame series “MicroMacro: Crime City” the mobile game “MicroMacro: Downtown Detective” combines wimmelbild and detective story.

The game presents you with a whole range of sometimes gruesome yet witty criminal cases. To crack those cases you’ll navigate a huge city map to investigate clues and make deductions. From a birds-flight view you’ll follow suspects and spot them at different points in time while they’re moving through the bustling city. This simple yet compelling mechanism transforms the city map into a story-telling landscape jam-packed with hidden details, clever stories, challenging puzzles – and copious crime.

While “MicroMacro: Downtown Detective” is an adaptation of the iconic boardgame-series “MicroMacro: Crime City”, it comes with a whole new set of cases and game mechanics, turning the cooperative boardgame into an approachable yet suspense driven mobile solo adventure.
