Mahjong Crimes - Puzzle Story

A murder mystery hiding inside a tile board sounds like a stretch, but Mahjong Crimes makes it work. You're teaming up with Hercule Poirot on the Orient Express, and every pair of matching tiles you clear uncovers another clue in an Agatha Christie story.

The mechanics are classic Mahjong at heart: click two identical tiles to remove them, but only if their left and right sides are open and nothing sits on top. Wipe the whole board clean and you move to the next case. With 100+ levels, boosters to crack the harder layouts, and tile sets to collect along the way, there's always another mystery waiting.

If you've already worn out Mahjong Connect, this is a good next stop - same tile-matching brain, wrapped in a detective story with thugs to outwit and clues to piece together. It runs free in the browser on desktop or mobile, no download needed.

Fans of puzzle games and tiles games will feel right at home here, especially if you like your matching with a plot attached.

Clear every tile from the board to complete each level. Match pairs of identical tiles, but you can only select a tile if its left and right sides are free and no other tile is stacked on top of it.

Use your mouse on desktop or tap the screen on mobile - there's no keyboard involved. Boosters are available if a layout has you stuck.

Scan the edges of the board first. Tiles buried under stacks or wedged between others open up as you clear the outer layers, so work outward in before chasing the trickier hidden pairs.
