## What is Mini Murder Mysteries?

Solve cozy, crafty whodunits. Puzzle your way through nine unique investigations and use your noggin to make intelligent deductions. Explore the evidence, scrutinize statements, and connect the dots.

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...

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2026-08-21*

Well made and the cases were creative and interesting I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys detective games!!!

### 5/5 — Sweet but short game

*2026-08-20*

I thought this game was enjoyable. That said, it is relatively short and there’s not a huge amount of gameplay. Overall worth the price.

### 1/5 — Blue screen

*2026-08-13*

Opened the game and try to start first level, only get a blue screen. Can’t even play it, claimed patch was out so I got the game and doesn’t work still

**Developer response:** I’m so sorry about this! I patched one thing and accidentally introduced a game-breaking bug! Version 1.1.6 is out now and should be fine!

### 1/5 — Great Game, lots of Bugs

*2026-08-11*

Game is super fun, probably the best mobile detective/mystery game on mobile that isn’t like a point and click puzzle solver. However, it will not let me progress past the 3rd case. i have solved it 5 times, cleared the app history and re-opened it, and restarted my phone and is still won’t let me get to case 4. Pretty bummed actually because the game was fun

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry about this! This is an edge case that has happened to a couple of people, and I’ve just pushed an update that I think may have fixed it - but it will take 24 hours to get approved. In the mean time, please feel free to email me (Adam [at] bunkworks [dot] net) - it would be good to know what other bugs you encountered? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Unplayable after case  2

*2026-08-08*

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

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear you’ve encountered a bug! I’m not sure what’s happened here but could I ask if you quit or left the game at any point between slotting the right answers in (on case 2) and hitting the “next case” button to go back to the menu? This may have failed to save the game’s progress. What happens if you try to “resolve” case 2? Please feel free to email adam@bunkworks.net for support. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Very Short but Fun Stories

*2026-08-07*

Great stories that were very entertaining!

### 5/5 — Short but good

*2026-07-30*

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

### 5/5 — Enjoyable - worth cost and

*2026-07-28*

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! .

### 5/5 — Exceptional Mystery Game

*2026-07-28*

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

### 4/5 — Really good but buggy

*2026-07-27*

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.

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry you had this experience, but thanks for the positive review! Prior builds did have a bug that caused crashing on certain iPhone models, but I think v1.1.4 has fixed this! 

Regarding the bug where you completed a level but it didn't register, would you mind letting me know which level this was? And can I ask if you clicked on 'next case' at the end of the case wrap-up? I'm just wondering if this happened because you quit/left the app at some point between submitting the correct solution and that button appearing? Thank you! - Adam
