Schoolboy and Granny: Birthday
This browser-based stealth puzzler drops you into the shoes of a mischievous kid on a mission to swipe a homemade birthday cake from the kitchen. The twist? His grandmother, though dozing on the couch, stirs at the slightest sound, forcing you to tiptoe through every room. Each level is a miniature sandbox of environmental hurdles: floorboards that groan, toys that clatter, and furniture that shifts to give you cover. The visual style is warm and whimsical, but the tension is real as you inch closer to the prize. As you progress, the layout grows trickier, with new obstacles like creaky doors or sleeping cats that could blow your cover. Success depends on timing your movements, reading the granny's snore pattern to predict her wakefulness, and using objects cleverly to distract her. It's a delightful balance of silly fun and nerve-racking patience, all wrapped in a cozy cartoon package that keeps you grinning even when you get caught.

What is Schoolboy and Granny: Birthday
A naughty schoolboy is determined to grab that birthday cake before his granny wakes up. Test your stealth skills in this charming puzzle of sneaking and timing.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move the schoolboy through each room. Avoid making noise near the sleeping granny, and interact with objects to create distractions or clear your path.
Tips for Playing
- Watch the granny's breathing pattern to know when it's safe to move.
- Test floorboards from a distance by stepping on them briefly; if they creak, find another route.
- Throw a toy in the opposite direction to lure her attention away from you.
- Hide behind furniture or curtains when she starts to stir.
- Collect keys or tools in earlier rooms—they might unlock shortcuts later.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I avoid waking the granny?
Move slowly and only when she is in a deep sleep rhythm. Steer clear of creaky floorboards and noisy items, and hide if you see her shift.
What happens if the granny catches me?
If she spots you, the level restarts, but you'll keep any keys or items you've already gathered. You just need to try again with better timing.
Is there a time limit?
No, you can take as long as you like. But the longer you wait, the more chances you have to make a mistake, so a steady pace is safer than rushing.

The game includes a series of stages that gradually introduce new obstacles and more complex layouts, testing your stealth and puzzle-solving skills.
Is the game easy for kids?
