About the game
Ever felt the thrill of 'Where's Waldo?' but with a CSI twist? That's exactly what you get in MicroMacro: Crime City – Full House. The premise is simple yet addictive: you and your friends are detectives tasked with solving 16 criminal cases scattered across a colossal 75 x 110 cm map. But don't be fooled by the size; the map represents not just the physical space of the city, but time as well. This means you'll see the same person in different locations, allowing you to trace the steps of suspects and victims to piece together the sequence of events.

The game operates using case cards that guide the investigation. You can follow the step-by-step cards for a more guided experience, or, for those seeking a bigger challenge, read only the starting card and try to unravel the entire crime on your own without intermediate hints. It's an exercise in keen observation and logical deduction, where every tiny detail on the map could be the key to closing the case.

A significant addition in this 'Full House' version compared to the original is the inclusion of rating symbols on the cases. This makes it much easier for parents and game masters to filter which mysteries are appropriate for younger investigators, ensuring the fun is tailored to the player's age. Whether you're playing solo to test your perception or in a group to debate wild theories, the goal remains the same: connect the dots and catch the criminals. Get your magnifying glass ready (or just keep your eyes wide open) and happy hunting!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lot of space to play?
Yes! The map is huge (75 x 110 cm), so you'll need a large table or a clean floor to spread it out.
Can I play it solo?
Absolutely. The game works great in solo mode for those who enjoy being a lone detective.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, and this version is great for that because it has symbols indicating which cases are simpler for kids.
How long does a game take?
It depends on the case and your perception, but it usually takes between 15 and 45 minutes per mystery.
Is the game complex?
Not at all. The rules are very simple; the complexity lies in finding the clues on the map, not in understanding the rules.
