About this game

The Missing Sock Agency is one of the coziest puzzle games for deduction fans: clients report missing socks, you inspect a sunny living room, laundry room, or garden shed, gather lint, trail, and scent clues, and match all three to exactly one hiding spot. Every case has a single provable answer, wrong first guesses earn a ruling-out hint, and Maple the fox celebrates each solved case.

How to play

  1. Press Play Free Run for 8 cases, or Play Daily for the same 5 cases every player gets today.
  2. Tap the three Inspect buttons to reveal the lint, trail, and scent clues.
  3. Each hiding spot lists what a sock hidden there would carry. Find the one spot matching all three clues.
  4. Tap a spot to accuse it. A first-guess solve pays 150 points; a second-guess solve pays 80.
  5. A wrong first guess crosses that spot out and tells you which clue ruled it out. Two wrong guesses close the case kindly and show the answer.

Tips

  • Reveal all three clues before accusing: with fewer clues you are guessing, not deducing.
  • A wrong guess is information, not failure: the ruling-out hint names the exact clue that eliminated that spot.
  • The Hint button reveals your next unrevealed clue, but caps a first-guess solve at 100 points.
