Mini Murder Mysteries is a cozy investigative deduction game made for fans of head-scratching whodunits.

- Solve cozy whodunits
Become a detective and 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. 

- Explore the evidence
Leave no stone unturned as you gather clues and discover truths. Cross-reference information, piece things together, and use lateral thinking. 

- Scrutinize every statement
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? 

- Deduce the truth
Sort the coincidental from the crucial to make smart deductions. Each case 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. 

Close your case list and you might even unravel a deeper, interconnected mystery...

Unplayable after case #2

After you finish case #2 it will not allow you to progress to case #3. Attempting to open case #3 just opens case #2 with one of the answers removed. Will probably request a refund

Short but good

I love detective games and this was a nice, quick play. Worth the price.

★★★★★positiveMentions pricingIdontwant12345678 · 2026-07-28 · v1.1.4

Enjoyable - worth cost and

I had no bugs with this game. It ran fine, the plots were clever. I’d like more like this. The only thing is the mini-games run in succession. I would have liked to try a few others before being forced to finish the first. Just to understand mechanics. But well worth cost and doesn’t collect data! .

★★★★★positiveSakoshy · 2026-07-28 · v1.1.4

Exceptional Mystery Game

There should be more games like these. Very well written and connected. I highly recommend playing this. You won’t regret it.

★★★★★positiveOlOneEye · 2026-07-27 · v1.1.4

Really good but buggy

I really enjoyed this game. The cases are fun and interesting. They are hard but fair. My biggest problem was that the game kept locking up on me and I had to restart the game for it to start working again. Once I even got locked into a loop where I solved a puzzle and when I went back to the menu the only option I had was to go back to the puzzle I had just solved. The only way forward was to reset the game and redo all the puzzles I had completed.

Good game

Wish there was more I loved it

★★★★★positiveMentions pricingMarinegirlfriend050810 · 2026-07-26 · v1.1.3

After update, it’s great!

Update: game is working great now. The new bug patch fixed my issues and I can play now! I love when developers listen to their audience and work to get these issues patched out. This is a cute game with fun puzzles. I’m usually not one to purchase games on my phone but this one is right up my alley. Great touch controls, bite sized mysteries, and I can pick up and play whenever it suits me. Changing to 5 stars!

Prior to update: I was really excited to play this but I can’t even make it through case 1. The game constantly freezes and I just have to close out of it. I hope bug fixes are coming because I would like to actually get to play this without having to constantly close the app due to freezing.

★★★★★positiveDipsyarkie · 2026-07-25 · v1.1.2

Excellent!’

I really really, really like this game,right off the bat.Just very very well put together , didn’t go over my head but wasn’t so simple, It was a waste of time. Just complex enough to make you have to get out of pen and paper and do some figuring. I was really bummed out though, that it was over too quick. I’m gonna have to try to find something else to do, That’s very similar.

★★★★★negativeLfd321 · 2026-07-25 · v1.1.2

Fun but buggy

Game is very fun and had good gameplay and writing. 
The app freezes and stalls a lot however and the only fix is completely reloading everything.

★★★★★positiveRebaFan21 · 2026-07-23 · v1.1.2

Too short

That’s really my only complaint. I really enjoyed these mini mysteries and would love more of them. I really enjoyed the last few cases with the interactive parts like the torn note puzzle and the decoding. Please make more of them

★★★★★negativeJsquirell · 2026-07-23 · v1.1.2

Can’t solve the case

Won’t let me type or click anything on the answer screen

★★★★★negativetaskmaster17 · 2026-07-23 · v1.1.2

Crashing Hell

The mysteries themselves are fine, but the app is horrendous and even with me being very patient, the experience is unbearable and i had to uninstall. Fix the app please

★★★★★positiveMentions pricingLagat12 · 2026-07-23 · v1.1.2

Good game

Good price for a good game

★★★★★positiveoxo666 · 2026-07-22 · v1.1.2

Fun little pocket-sized mystery game

Played the demo from Steam Fest a while back and enjoyed it, but didn’t commit to buying it just yet when it released. Saw it today in the appstore and I was immediately sold when I saw that it was optimized for portrait gameplay—so many games make me turn my phone and it ends up being too cumbersome to play casually. Portrait mode makes it a lot easier to just pick up and play. 

Took me about 2 hours to finish. Honestly it’s a bit more of a keyword game than it is a detective game, but I enjoyed the different scenarios and found them all pretty unique. I liked that there was a small overarching plot, too. 

Only thing I’ll say is that I wish we could turn off vibrations and replay cases without having to reset the game.

★★★★★positiveHanBamThankYouMaam · 2026-07-22 · v1.1.2

Keeps crashing

I want to love this game but I can’t get through a single case without it crashing!

★★★★★positiveAgent512 · 2026-07-20 · v1.1.2

A fun (short) mystery game

I really enjoyed piecing together the clues and cracking the murder cases! There were more typos than I would have liked in the flavor text, but over all the game was short and sweet. Would love to see a sequel some time!

★★★★★positiveCobwebs119 · 2026-07-19 · v1.1.2

Very Fun!

This was such a fun game! I love murder mysteries and this was a fun one to play detective in

★★★★★positiveMentions pricingTaxicab224 · 2026-07-18 · v1.1.2

Fun game

This was a fun game.  My only critique is that I wish the game could be payed in landscape and portrait mode.  Otherwise, it was a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.

★★★★★positiveWilliam87299 · 2026-07-17 · v1.1.2

Game

great game

★★★★★positiveAmy FK · 2026-07-11 · v1.1.2

Fun and smart

Neat puzzles, logic, and dry humor. Great game, would love to see more.

★★★★★positiveLittle Psyche · 2026-06-26 · v1.0.3

Fun bite-sized games

I enjoyed each mini case and the dry gumshoe humor throughout. I do think the last one or two cases were a bit muddled ( tho I also tend to overthink things and some of the clues wound up being pretty straightforward in the end.) I think they could make a series out of these. Fun bite sized mystery solving perfect for a lunch break or relaxing before bed.
