Cop & Thief

About Cop & Thief: Grid Puzzle Game with 1000+ Stages

Cop & Thief is a clean, bite-sized puzzle game about cornering a clever thief on a grid. The challenge is positional — every cop move counts, and the thief is always working toward an exit. With 1000+ stages spread across 14 themed packs, the game moves from gentle warm-ups to brain-bending duo chases, giving the difficulty room to grow without rushing the player.

One scene shows a light tan surface with a faint square grid pattern as the background. In another view, a network of brown lines connects eighteen distinct circular nodes at the center of the frame.

How to Play Cop & Thief: Plan Your Route, Cut Off the Exits

The goal is to trap every thief with no way to escape. Each turn, move a cop — the thief then moves automatically, always heading toward an exit. Walls block movement, and exits are exactly what the thief is trying to reach. Trap all thieves before any one of them slips through.
