MicroMacro: Crime City – All In is the third giant black-and-white city map in the series, a detective game where the whole table leans over a 75 x 110 cm poster. Sixteen new crime cases wait for one to four amateur detectives, each with motives to find, evidence to spot and perpetrators to convict. You need a sharp eye and a bit of creative deduction to follow tiny figures through the streets and reconstruct what happened. A magnifying glass is included, and cases are marked with symbols so parents can decide which ones the youngest investigators can try. It works completely on its own, with no previous knowledge of the earlier maps needed. Forty-five minutes, 2022.

Who it's for

You and some friends or a mixed-age family like observation puzzles and want a cooperative evening without rulebooks.

Not for you if…

You want a game you can replay many times. Each case is a story you solve once.

Vibe's take

Cosy and absorbing: heads bump over the poster, someone shouts they have spotted the thief, and you retrace a story street by street. No rules fuss, just looking and talking.
