MicroMacro: Downtown Detective brings its iconic crime-solving action to iOS and Android

Investigate crimes across a sprawling cartoon city map
Follow suspects and uncover the crimes committed by various characters
Play three free cases, with 22 more mysteries waiting

Crime never sleeps, and now neither will you. Soft Boiled Games’ MicroMacro: Downtown Detective has just arrived on iOS and Android. This isn’t just another mobile puzzle game—it’s a vast hidden-object detective experience where every street corner holds a secret, and every seemingly ordinary person could be your next suspect.

You begin with three free cases to sharpen your skills, tracing clues through a massive cartoon city packed with hidden details. One moment you’re following a sly pickpocket slipping through a bustling market; the next, you’re deciphering how a violinist ended up dead in a quiet alley. Every suspect leaves a trail—and it’s your job to connect the pieces and solve the mystery.

Unlocking the full version of MicroMacro: Downtown Detective unlocks 22 additional cases, from petty thefts to full-blown murders. The brilliance lies in the unchanging map—you’ll spot the same characters at different moments in their day, and your task is to piece together their stories from these fleeting glimpses.

This mobile adaptation is based on the award-winning MicroMacro: Crime City board game, but it’s been thoughtfully redesigned for solo play on touchscreens. It’s currently available in English, French, and German, with more languages coming soon. If you’re drawn to a blend of cozy atmosphere and creeping suspense, this mix of crime-solving and sharp deduction might be exactly what you’re looking for.
