Tiny Epic Crimes: Deluxe Edition

Players act as detectives racing across Echo Ridge City during the critical first 48 hours after a murder. They collect secret pieces of evidence — murder weapon, forensics, getaway vehicle — and use a decoder system to reveal which clues point to the true killer while keeping other information hidden. Additional crimes and events appear around the city, forcing players to split time between investigations and resolving incidents that grant alibis or special Force Cards at the cost of advancing the clock. The game supports competitive, cooperative, and solo play and ends when detectives make a final accusation about the murderer. This deluxe package also includes a mini expansion with two optional modules: one that adds hidden loyalty roles and an investigate-or-risk mechanic, and another that introduces special capo targets with unique arrest requirements.
