This is a great digital iteration of the board game. It is a detective mystery game done in Where's Waldo fashion. If you are familiar with the board games, the cases found here are New. So, there is fresh content here for long-time fans of the series as well. Thus far the game features 25 cases, with more planned soon.

Yeah! Nice entry in the MicroMacro series, a new map and cases so you're not doubling up if you've played the board games, and a few neat nods to the digital format (like being able to see inside certain buildings). The only issue here is it's unfinished. Literally: at the end of the paid full version, the cases only take you across 4 of the cities 9 areas. Presumably there's paid DLC to come. Still, there's about as much content already in here as one of the physical games, and much cheaper!

Very fun game! I recently started to play the board game versions and was excited when the app came out. The art, characters, and situations are very funny. This game isn't for all ages, maybe 14+ due to some of the scenarios. You can speed run the game or play a scene a day if you want to continue to have something to do. Wandering around the world is fun, I appreciate the mini games, but I can't remember if they count as cases. More mini games would be a great addition to break up binge play
