About the game

MicroMacro: Crime City - Full House is a cooperative detective game built around a giant, richly illustrated city map. Players search the artwork to trace clues, follow characters across time and space, and piece together what happened in each of 16 included cases. Cases can be solved card-by-card or by reading just the starting clue and working out everything yourselves. Special symbols mark which cases are appropriate for younger investigators.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli adores this series for turning a single gorgeous map into dozens of surprisingly clever whodunit puzzles. It's a wonderfully calm, cooperative way to spend an evening hunting for visual clues together.

What we like

  • Unique visual storytelling built around a single giant map.
  • Fully cooperative and welcoming to all skill levels.
  • Strong solo option alongside group play.
  • 16 varied cases provide substantial replay value.

Keep in mind

  • Requires good eyesight and table space for the large map.
  • Solved cases lose their replay value afterward.
  • Not suited to players seeking competitive tension.

Who it's for

Families and friends who enjoy cooperative visual puzzle-solving will enjoy this for one to four players, ages 8 and up, including solo play.
