''Small Town Murders'' is a free-to-play MatchThreeGame by Finnish video game developer Rovio Entertainment. Your main character is Nora Mistry, who is a writer who becomes a consultant for the Police Department and investigates murders.

As in most {{Match Three Game}}s, you get special items for matching more than three items at once:
* Paper planes, which you get by matching four items in a square. When launched, they clear the top, bottom, left and right tiles and another tile which is the objective of the level or an obstacle.
* Rockets, which you get by matching four items in a row. When used in a match, they clear an entire horizontal or vertical line of tiles (their direction tells you whether it will clear a horizontal or vertical line).
* Bombs, which you get by matching two three-item matches in a cross-shape (T-shape or L-shape) pattern. When used, they explode in a circular area.
* Disco balls, which you get by matching five items in a row. When used, they destroy all items of the color of your choice (or a random color if tapped twice).
If you can get them next to each other, you can get even fancier {{Combination Attack}}s.

Other special items include hammers (which destroy a single tile), mallets (which destroy an entire row and column) and gloves (which swap two items without launching special items).
