The murderers have committed the crimes, now it's up to you to put in the time to solve each of the heinous homicides. Using your logical powers of deduction, can you play detective and help put the killers behind bars?
Experience 10 interactive murder mystery scenarios for puzzlers of all abilities, skillfully compiled by acclaimed US psychological thriller writer Christopher J. Yates and puzzle expert Bruce Pitchers. Become a Sheriff in the Wild West on the hunt for his varmint criminals or an amateur sleuth in Dickensian London using your immense intellect to deduce the perpetrators. These storylines, set in locations such as the dreaming spires of Oxford University, a space-age future and the gritty streets of New York, will put your investigative skills to the test.
5 Minute Murder combines logic problems and code-cracking with crime-writing to create a unique sleuthing experience. If you're an armchair detective, sit back and listen to the case files, make a note of any clues, and try and crack the case. Just don't make your answer a stab in the dark!
