Thief Puzzle was released in 2021 by WEEGO Studio and quickly became popular for its mix of humor and tricky problem-solving. Belonging to the puzzle/strategy genre, the game puts you in the role of a sly thief who has to stretch, sneak, and scheme to grab treasures without being caught. It’s lighthearted, sometimes ridiculous, but always clever enough to keep you thinking a few steps ahead.
You guide your thief by extending his unusually long arm to reach the item you’re after. The catch is that the path is rarely straightforward. You’ll need to weave through moving obstacles, sneak past residents, and sometimes use the environment itself to your advantage.
Controls are simple: press and hold to stretch out the arm, then drag to guide it. The moment your hand brushes the target, the level is cleared. But touch an obstacle or get spotted, and you’ll fail—though the game encourages retries until you figure out a working solution.
Observe before you act. Take a few seconds to watch how obstacles move. Rushing in usually ends with a quick failure.
Use the environment. Walls, gaps, and even other characters can block sightlines and create safe paths.
Experiment freely. There’s rarely only one solution. Try different angles and routes until you find one that works.
Stay patient. Later levels can look impossible at first glance, but small adjustments often make the difference.
