Play Mystery Master - Murder by the Dozen Online

Mystery Master: Murder by the Dozen came out in 1992 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, developed by Mystery Master. It was a straightforward detective game for its time, relying on text and simple graphics to pull you into its world of crime solving without the flash of later adventure titles.

You play as an investigator tasked with solving a dozen different murder cases. You move from screen to screen, examining locations for clues, interviewing suspects, and reviewing case files for inconsistencies. The game requires careful note taking, as overlooked details can stall progress entirely. Pacing is deliberate, almost slow, and the difficulty comes from the sheer volume of information you must track and cross reference. It feels like untangling a knot with patience and a sharp eye.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
