About the Game

Welcome to Crayontopia!

A box of crayons and a dream - that's how it all began. But now, a string of murders threatens this perfect world, and it's up to you to apprehend the killer.

Of course, if you'd prefer to ignore the killer and ruin other people's lives, that's A-okay, too!

Whichever path you choose, you'll have the opportunity to get to know the cheerful citizens of Crayontopia and uncover the rich lore, hidden gems, and dark secrets of their world.

Key Features

Delve into Crayontopia and enjoy our hand-drawn crayon art.

To ensure an authentic Crayontopia experience, we've used crayons to hand-draw every single character and background in the game.

Investigate the world and uncover evidence.

Scour a variety of locations for clues to learn more about the victims, their ties throughout Crayontopia, and the circumstances surrounding their untimely demise.

Interrogate suspects and take them to trial.

Everyone carries secrets. You'll have to unravel each suspect's web of truths and lies to determine who should stand trial before their fellow citizens.

Your choices matter.

Become Crayontopia's ace detective... Or a bumbling buffoon. Just remember, one-too-many mistakes could mean that an innocent citizen is imprisoned - leaving the killer to walk free.

Made by our tiny team of two, we hope you enjoy Crayontopia and all that it has to offer.
