I've already played through all four parts of MicroMacro - does the mobile game have the same cases?
No. We have designed brand new cases for the this version of MicroMacro, that also take advantage of the unique possibilities of a mobile game.
Is MicroMacro a simple search or hidden object game?
No. The special thing about MicroMacro is that the characters can be seen at different locations on the map at different points in time. This allows us to tell complex stories.
You get to know the suspects, find out where they live, who they might be working with and deduce which place you should probably take a closer look at next.
When is MicroMacro going to be released?
MicroMacro will be released for mobile devices on iOS and Android in early 2025.
Can I try out the game first without paying any money?
When you first download the game, you can play the tutorial and a few fun cases for free!
After that, you can buy packs of new cases (we hope you play through them all, of course).
We deliberately decided to completely do without advertisements and other annoying stuff.
How big is the city map?
Initially, the city map is smaller than in the board game. The more cases you solve, the more districts you unlock. In this way, you get to know the city better and better. Later in the game, the city is even bigger than in the board game. This allows for really complex puzzles.
How close can I zoom in to the city?
In the mobile game, you can zoom in really close to the map. For example, you can examine details on a suspect's clothing or find the tiniest clues at a crime scene.
Will there be mini-games?
As we believe that good criminal cases should be solved by looking closely and combining cleverly, there will be no interruption by mini-games within the "main cases".
In addition to the tricky cases, however, there will be a few more casual activities known as "petty crime".
Is the the game appropriate for children?
Although there are no explicit depictions of violence in the game, in many cases it does feature murder, relationship drama and other allusions to "adult themes".
We have found that most children aged 10 and older can cope with this type of crime story, but of course children's personalities and emotional development can vary greatly.
If you're not sure, play it yourself first and then decide whether you want to play it with your children.
I'm stuck in a case - what can I do?
Maybe you missed it in the tutorial: A wise yogi is meditating on the beach. Tap on him if you get stuck.
