Introduction

Thief Puzzle is a single-player stickman puzzle game. Each level asks you to steal a marked object with the thief’s long, stretchy arm. The item may be blocked by walls, people, animals, traps, alarms, or moving hazards. You must draw a safe path to the target without touching anything dangerous.

The game is available as an HTML5 browser game, so it can run without a download. You can use a mouse on desktop or touch controls on a supported phone or tablet. The puzzles are short, but the safest route is not always the shortest one. Before moving, check the whole scene and plan how the arm will bend around each obstacle. Famobi is credited as the creator of the browser game, while TapNation publishes the mobile app.

Gameplay

Each stage places the thief in a fixed spot and shows an item he must take. First, find the target. Then look for anything that could stop the hand or touch the stretched arm. A direct route may cross a trap, pass an alarm, or move too close to a person or animal.

Hold and drag to extend the thief’s arm. It follows the line you draw, allowing you to guide it around corners and barriers. Once the hand reaches the item, release to finish the attempt. If the arm touches a hazard, the puzzle may fail and must be tried again.

Some levels focus on finding the right shape for the route. You may need to draw a wide curve around a wall or guide the arm through a gap. Other stages include moving dangers, so timing also matters. Watch their movement before starting, then move when the route is clear.

Plan for the full arm, not just the hand. A path can look safe at the target while another part of the arm brushes against a hazard. Leave extra room around sharp corners and risky objects whenever the level gives you space.

Controls

• Desktop: Hold the left mouse button and drag to extend the thief’s arm.
• Finish an attempt: Release the mouse button when the hand reaches the target.
• Phone or tablet: Touch and drag to draw the arm’s path, then release at the target.

Tips & Tricks

• Check the whole scene. Find the target, then look for walls, traps, alarms, people, animals, and moving objects.
• Avoid rushing into a straight line. A longer curve may keep the arm farther from danger.
• Plan every bend. Make sure the full arm can follow the route without touching an obstacle.
• Leave extra space. Do not trace too close to the edge of a trap when a wider path is available.
• Watch moving hazards. Learn their pattern before dragging the arm.
• Use failed attempts as clues. If one part of the route works, keep it and change the section that caused the failure.

Levels and Progression

Thief Puzzle is made up of short, separate stages. The target and scene change from one puzzle to the next. New layouts may include different barriers, characters, animals, alarms, and traps. Some stages also mix fixed obstacles with moving dangers.

Browser and mobile editions may not always use the same build, level order, or updates. Because of this, a walkthrough for one version may not match the puzzle shown in another. When searching for help, compare the scene itself instead of relying only on its level number.

Browser and Mobile Support

The HTML5 edition can be played in a web browser without installing the game. Desktop players use a mouse, while supported mobile browsers use touch input.

Native versions are also available for Android, iPhone, and iPad. The browser game and mobile apps may differ in content, updates, ads, and stage order.
