About This Game

Detective & The Thief is a puzzle deduction game with a story hat: thieves plan to rob a bank, detectives are assigned, and the thieves hide behind walls. Your job is to help the detective corner them — reading the layout, anticipating the thief's path and closing the trap at the right moment. It is a pursuit logic game rather than a matching game: the puzzle is the criminal's movement, and your moves are the case file coming together. Clever, compact levels that respect your reasoning. For players who like their puzzles with a plot. Free in your browser, instantly playable on any phone.

How to Play

Study each level's layout: walls block line of sight, corridors funnel movement, and the thief reacts to your position. Move to cut off escape routes before chasing directly — a detective who runs at the thief loses him at the first corner. Corner the thief against walls or dead ends to complete the capture. Levels introduce new room layouts and thief behaviors as you progress. Tip: move toward where the thief is going, not where he is; the map always has one chokepoint he must pass.
