The strange events in Scoggins will challenge every ounce of Tethers’ expertise, and possibly his very wits too, with brainteasers at every turn: mazes, logic puzzles, riddles, and more. He soon realizes that these - along with the clinically pre-occupied townspeople, secret societies, and peculiar sounds from the forest - are intimately connected to the core mystery. And what's with the gnomes?
Created with indie comic artist Graham Annable's unique narrative and visual sensibilities, delivered with the distinctive Telltale storytelling style, Puzzle Agent is sure to challenge, thrill and engage in more ways than you can shake a cryptogram at!
- Plentiful puzzles to challenge your neurons. See if you can find every puzzle to solve the mystery of Scoggins -- mazes, logic, riddles, brainteasers and more.
- Investigate the strange, peculiar and mind-boggling to crack the case! Your discoveries provide clues to the larger mystery crippling the town, or uncover puzzles that must be solved to reveal answers ... or even more questions.
- Hunting for Hints: Chewing gum helps Agent Tethers think and solve. Find and collect gum wads around the town to uncover hints if you get "stuck" in any puzzles.

An interesting and off-beat comedic mystery game. It wears the Fargo and Twin Peaks inspirations on it's sleeve. A lot of the puzzles feel poorly explained, like they were just missing an extra page of text. Honestly there should just be a 'test' button before you submit your solution, but the story is interesting enough to carry it for the few hours it takes to beat it. The art was strange at first, but I actually grew to love it. Great voice acting all around, in my opinion.
this game is great! hope they make a sequel!
I am afraid I actually would hesitate to recommend Puzzle Agent to everyone, but to me personally it is a very special game. I keep returning to Scoggins Minnesota every winter, impatiently waiting for my visit during the rest of the year, just to meet again Isaac Davner, Martha, Bjorn, Glori and others (my favourite character being Alfred from Puzzle Agent 2). I wish I could do cross-country skiing there in winters (and spend my summers at the beaches of Plunder Island as depicted in Monkey Island 3). And if I were a billionaire, I would certainly sponsored creating as many Puzzle Agent sequels as I would be able to afford - the game as it stands now is clearly unfinished, with some bizarre moments not explained and lots of missing people to be found (though most likely in psychiatric institutions).
Wait, I thought I bought a game with a white big doggo wearing a brown cap as a protagonist... He's hooman.
Highly underrated.

This game is fucking amazing, the storyline is gripping, the puzzles are enter-fucking-taining. Its a great game to play with others locally, not like anything we've played before. Puzzle agent 2 is great aswell, with this 90% discount on at the moment its really a no brainer/
Played on Steam Deck: 720@60 on 6 watts
Its Fargo with puzzles instead of murder.

cons: a little easy
pros: everything else
Wow it suprised me how much i loved this.
Its a very short story, but its got impact. The mystery, the humor, the music, the exciting moments of spooky tension. Like its legitimately a great story that is perfectly balanced in tone.
The puzzles can get REALLY tricky. some i just straight up guessed. Others where really great. And others, i wouldnt have failed if they had explained the rules better. But most of them were very engaging and a ton of variety to the puzzles.
So while i might have been frustrated sometimes i had a blast.
Fun short visual novel with puzzles. Most puzzles are quite easy but some are pretty hard. Story has horror/mystery & comedy elements.
Reminds me of the game "Professor Layton".
Cool hand-drawn style. Great voice acting & music.

Worth checking out👍
Fun little game with an unique art and animation style
Such a fun story line! Some of the puzzles really stumped my brain (AGHHH MATH) and I got jump scared by a gnome lol. Would recommend.
its layton in canada for very cheap. just get it
Puzzle Agent is a very fun story based puzzle game, i would recommend this game because of the art and vibes The story in this game is also amazing and very enjoyable. all of the mechanics are perfect and overall I wouldn't change anything. in conclusion you should play this game
Thank's Ross.
spent way too long on some puzzles than i'd like to admit. the puzzle descriptions sometimes can be a bit "misleading" which made me got few of the puzzles wrong on the first try, decided to open a hint, only to realize that what the puzzle meant is different than what i initially thought it was.
but overall a solid little game with a really charming presentation :)
Funny Little Puzzle Game 10/10.
Takes about 4-5 hrs to beat.
Had more fun with this $1 game than i did with $120 AAA games.
Wonderful little game. Grab a snack, a drink and spend an afternoon on it, you won't regret.
Slow paced and not for the people who like speed. Most conversations seem to drag on and the story isn't that interesting.
It takes around 6 hours to complete both this and the second one, and I do recommend playing them together.
It's really good, too bad the second game kinda ruins it with the asinine plot and baffling twist.
7/10
pros
✅ cartoony and cute hand drawn background artwork and character models
✅ an intriguing detective story. you're playing an FBI agent who investigates why the factory that supplies the White House’s erasers has suddenly stopped production in a small town.
✅ there are nice variety and fun to solve puzzles
✅ well made cartoony cutscenes
✅ charming, likeable, quirky main and side characters
✅ there are some nice and relaxing background musics
✅ decent voice acting
✅ there are in game collectibles
✅ there is a quick travel map, which prevents some backtracking
✅ you can get hints when you're stuck in a puzzle
cons
❌ game is short
❌ unskippable closing credits
❌ there is no manual save. only auto save
❌ some very easy puzzles (if you want to some challenge)
❌ there are no steam achievements and cards
❌ some of the puzzles are re-used
❌ the game presents half of a story, and it concludes abruptly with a cliffhanger.
Overall, this is an decent point and click puzzle game.
i suck at puzzles but i want to play this game
It's kinda unique from what I've played before from Telltale, this is a great one too
Un-tethering this mystery was was mind-full...
Super fun, kind of short game. Came across some easy puzzles, simply completed by visual graphics and moving pieces around, and extremely difficult puzzles to anyone who is not good at wordplay or thinking outside the box (I.E. myself when I haven't had enough sleep). One puzzle I found was a lot like a PLC Progamming puzzle... kind of fun.
Highly recommended to anyone who is inerested in puzzles with eerie story moments and on-par voice acting. Oh, and nicely-done artwork..
While I think some of the puzzles could use better explanations, this game was a blast to stream and play with other viewers. Definitely worth its price. I will be playing its sequel soon as well- I've already purchased it.
Starts off easy and starts getting much more difficult. Fresh and entertaining
I liked the game! I thought some parts of the puzzle were difficult but the story was good! Would recommend.
Ross's Game Dungeon, but real.
Some great puzzles to solve and a interesting and funny plot so far!
Quite nice, not too difficult.
Could have been longer or with a more fleshed out ending.
Pretty good
Ingesting story and puzzles, it was good. some puzzles were dumb as hell especially the gear puzzle
I love the art style, I love the humor, the puzzles are fun, and Scoggins is delightfully weird and creepy in just the right way. If you like puzzles, you'll like this game.
As a fan of Graham Annable, aka Grickle, I was thrilled to discover that he had collaborated with Telltale Games to create Puzzle Agent. Grickle’s distinctive style shines through in this point-and-click adventure, making it an enjoyable experience for anyone familiar with his work.
The game immerses you in the town of Scoggins, where you help the main character, Nelson Tethers, solve puzzles to uncover the mystery behind the closure of the Scoggins eraser factory. Reflecting Grickle’s style, the game and its characters exude a charming eccentricity that echoes the nature of his animations.
The puzzles present a mixed bag in terms of difficulty. While some are easy to solve, others are challenging to the point of frustration. This inconsistency can sometimes detract from the overall experience, as the varying difficulty levels may disrupt the flow of gameplay. However, despite these frustrations, the game’s charm and engaging mystery keep it enjoyable.
Though it doesn’t take long to finish, the game leaves a positive impression. It’s a fun and intriguing mystery that perfectly blends Grickle’s unique aesthetic with challenging puzzles, making for a memorable and entertaining experience. Whether you’re a fan of Grickle’s animations or just looking for a charming puzzle game, Puzzle Agent is definitely worth checking out.
Good puzzle game
