Where it came from
MicroMacro: Crime City was developed by Johannes Sich and published by Edition Spielwiese in 2020. The concept emerged from a desire to blend the visual detail of Where's Waldo-style 'hidden object' puzzles with the narrative complexity of true crime investigation. Players are tasked with scanning an expansive, intricately illustrated black-and-white map to track characters through time and space, piecing together the sequences of events that lead to various criminal resolutions.
The game's distinctive aesthetic was illustrated by Daniel Goll and Johannes Berger. Their design philosophy prioritized clarity within chaos, ensuring that while the map is dense with thousands of tiny, overlapping activities, the narrative threads remain traceable for observant eyes. Upon its release, it received widespread acclaim from the tabletop gaming community, eventually winning the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award in 2021 for its innovative use of cooperative storytelling and non-linear gameplay.
