Clue Hunter
By PuzzleGame.com
Clue Hunter turns five short crime-and-crisis scenes into click-to-solve brain teasers. Each level drops you into a single hand-drawn picture — a mother in a leaking room with a baby, a dog and a table of food — and asks you to work out which detail is the answer. You look, you reason, you tap. It runs free in your browser on desktop or mobile, no download needed.

How to Play Clue Hunter
Every level is one illustrated scene with a short goal written across the top. In the frames the instruction reads "Help mom improve life", showing a woman standing in a shabby room: rain dripping through the ceiling, a baby in a wooden crib, a dog by a bowl, a laden table, bundles of cash, firewood and posters on the wall.
Your only real tool is observation. Scan the picture for the objects that matter, then click or tap them to act. The scene reacts as you go — the umbrella, the crib, the mother's clothes and the items on the floor all look different from one frame to the next, so you can read the picture itself to see how far you've got. A refresh button in the top-left corner sits next to the back arrow if you want to restart the scene.
There are five cases in total — Help Mom, Save the Girl, Laundry Master, Loss Escape and Strange Neighbors — and the puzzles are built to look easier than they are, so expect to hunt for small details.
Tips
- Read the goal text at the top first — "Help mom improve life" points you toward what in the scene needs fixing, not just anything clickable.
- Sweep the whole picture before you touch anything: the ceiling, the walls, the floor and the furniture all hold details in these scenes.
- Watch what changes between taps. The crib, the umbrella and the clutter on the floor visibly shift, which tells you which parts of the scene are live.
- Use the refresh button in the top-left to reset a scene if you've lost track of what you've already tried.
The Five Cases
