What is Paws Off My Clues!

Join a band of animal detectives in Paws Off My Clues!, a cozy arcade puzzle game that sharpens your sleuthing skills. Each level is a new scene brimming with hidden items and clever riddles waiting to be cracked.

How to Play

Use your mouse or touch to tap on objects you think are clues, and interact with the environment to uncover secrets. Solve the puzzle by finding all hidden items or completing the given objective within the scene.

Tips for Playing

Scan each scene systematically, from top to bottom, to avoid missing hidden objects.
Pay attention to shadows and outlines — they often hint at concealed items.
Use the hint button sparingly; it's a lifesaver on tricky spots but has a cooldown.
Look for interactive elements that aren't obvious, like drawers or curtains that can be opened.
If you're stuck, try clicking on anything that seems slightly out of place — it might lead to a clue.
