Crimes happen in the city!
Crimes have taken place all over the city, and you want to figure out exactly what's happened, so you'll need to look closely at the giant city map (75x110cm) to find all the hidden information and trace the trails of those who had it in for their foes.
MicroMacro: Crime City includes 16 cases for you to solve. Each case includes a number of cards that ask you to find something on the map or uncover where someone has gone or otherwise reveal information relevant to a case. The city map serves as a map in time as well as space, so you'll typically find people in multiple locations throughout the streets and buildings, and you need to piece together what happened, whether by going through the case card by card or by reading only the starting card in the case and trying to figure out everything that happened for yourself. Will you be able to answer all questions about the case without fail?

MicroMacro Crime City is quite different to any other game that I have, the map is very large but it all folds up to find in a nice and small box (much better than some games that could have easily halved, or more, their box and still had room to spare). Once the map is folded out, you will notice a city that is simply bustling with activity, everything is very small, hence the micro-macro title, but there is a small magnifying glass for those who need it (or want something to fight over as my kids do). There are sixteen cases to solve, plus an introductory case so you can learn the game, and each one comes with its own little envelope (slightly see-through so perfect if you want to grab a particular one, without having to open them all up).
Each case has a star out of five rating, for how difficult it is, though each card does give you the answer for the location grid you are searching for, if needed - which is great for when I'm letting the kids do all the work and they need a little help. Each case starts off with the event which you must locate and you then backtrack to find out what led to what. Along the way, there is plenty to look at, in fact, we've just kept the map open a few times, just to enjoy the little snippets of the lives going on in this city. Whilst there isn't a huge amount of replayability, if you don't remember every little detail you may get an extra play or two out of it. Apparently, there are going to be four titles in this series which can then combine for one giant map.
