Thief Puzzle
About Thief Puzzle
Thief Puzzle hands you a stick-figure burglar and a single swipe per idea. Each stage is a small cutaway of a building — a guard with a key on his belt, a laser grid, a dog, a safe two rooms away — and your job is to work out the one path that lets the thief reach the loot without walking into anything that ends the attempt. Solutions tend to be short and slightly mean: distract before you move, take the key before the door, and remember that the obvious straight line is usually the trap the level was built around.
How to Play
- Swipe or drag to draw the path you want the thief to take through the room.
- Watch what each obstacle reacts to — guards, alarms and animals all trigger differently, and the order you pass them in decides whether the plan works.
- Grab keys, tools and anything else lying around before heading for the exit; most locked doors expect you to have solved a smaller problem first.
- Restart instantly when a run fails and try a different route — stages are short by design.
Thief Puzzle FAQ
Is there more than one solution per stage in Thief Puzzle?
Almost never. Each stage is built around one working sequence, and near-misses fail outright rather than partially, which is why replaying a level with a slightly different order of moves is the intended way to solve it.
