About


Become a detective and get to work solving nine distinct, self-contained crime scene conundrums. To progress, you'll need to scour the evidence, analyze witness statements, collect relevant keywords, and make smart deductions.


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.
The cases in Mini Murder Mysteries pay homage to (and build upon) tropes from across detective fiction – from dusty old manors to Ancient Egyptian museum exhibits, and from restaurant kitchens to cutting edge biochemical labs.


Leave no stone unturned as you gather clues and discover truths.
Cross-reference information. Piece things together. Use lateral thinking.
Each case's murder board is chock-full of evidence – from incriminating correspondence and fingerprint reports, to burner phones and distracting red herrings. Read about each object, collect special 'Deduction Words' as you go, and build an ironclad picture in your mind of what really happened.


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?
It's up to you to work out who's telling the truth – and use your intuition to see through the lies.


Sort the coincidental from the crucial to make smart deductions.
Each of Mini Murder Mysteries' nine unique cases 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.
That means you'll need to get good at sifting through events, statements and information to weed out what's irrelevant and what's key to each case.
Close your case list and you might even unravel a deeper, interconnected mystery...

A nice bitesize puzzle game to either compliment a Sunday afternoon or to play sparingly on the go. While it does have some grammatical issues, despite a few patches already, these are easily fixed and didn't hamper progress or my experience. The logic on the first case was a sour note to start on but every subsequent case was a fun puzzle and mystery to solve. So I'd recommend either tweaking the first case or moving it out of the first position. Overall, I look forward to The Murder Of Ava Monroe and this was a nice stop-gap experience which I hope will be added to with more cases to solve in the near-future.
Nice little deduction game. Nothing overly difficult, and fairly short, but still fun. worth it's price imo
A simple but excellent murder mystery. I play many games like this and this one falls a bit more in the Golden Idol school of mystery solving, though quite a bit more streamlined in it's problems. There are nine cases, each taking between thirty minutes and an hour. There is genuine cleverness in a few of the cases, although I think the overarching framework of each case having the same number of pieces of evidence and interviews does diminish the uniqueness of each case. There isn't really a progression of mechanics or difficulty, so some of the earlier cases stand out for me much more than the latter. That said, it's a fun set of puzzles and certainly worth your time if you like detective games.
This was a cute little game. Not too hard or too easy for me. I liked doing maybe one or two cases at the time while waiting for dinner to cook or last thing before bed. It's not a long game, but it doesn't need to be because I was happy with what I got. That said, I wouldn't hate it if more cases were added or a small dlc or so was released in the future.
A good, laid back (easy-ish), and ultimately quick detective game. I wish it was more complex, but for its low price it was worth the fun regardless.
I'd give this a borderline recommend. The developer's heart is in the right place, trying to add to the fun renaissance of detective games right now. It basically does what it says on the tin, giving you 2-3 hours of simple deductions for a few dollars. I ended up usually solving about 3/4 of every case, and then I had to just noodle with variables to push through. About half were solved on my first guess. There's enough evidence to somewhat get you there, but there's also not much richness here. Fairly straightforward stuff a lot of the time. Usually only about 3 or 4 suspects. But still, easy enough to lightly recommend for a casual and quick play.
Not perfect, but a good bit of fun and worth the price of admission.
That was a lovely little game. Don't rush it, grab a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the short little murder mysteries. Good news I was sad when it was done but looking forward to the next chapter in the future. Great job!
This was a super fun little game! Quick play through, and I enjoyed the UI feature of being able to see how many words/items are wrong rather than having to default to hand-holding or using all the hints. I loved the little twist at the end (won't spoil it!), it added a fun extra layer to the game. Highly recommend if you want something puzzly but digestible/not overwhelming.
Enjoyable little mysteries! Took me about about 3 hours to solve them (I took a little lunch break in the middle), I recommend playing in windowed mode if - like me - you like to alt-tab to screen shot evidence in mystery games (I had a little graphics hang with alt-tabbing while full screen). Dialogue & text is good, well written English, user interface for solving the mysteries is reliable and intuitive. Low frustration design (hints and solve progress tools are available in game). Very little friction between player and solving. Recommended.
