About This Game

The Case of the Magic Eraser

Erase Detective is a puzzle game where the answer is hiding inside the picture — under something you can erase. Each case shows a colorful comic scene and a question, like “Where did the cat hide the key?” Rub away just the right spot, and the secret appears with a funny little animation.

Every solved case ends with a mini comic showing what really happened. The reveals are silly, kind, and often very surprising.

Erase Smarter, Not Harder

Your eraser has a budget — a little bar that shrinks as you rub. That means you cannot just scrub the whole picture; you have to read the clue, look closely, and choose the one suspicious spot. Rub the wrong area and nothing bad happens: the game gently shakes its head and your eraser stays full.

  • Read the case question first
  • Inspect the scene for something odd
  • Erase only the suspicious spot
  • Watch the comic reveal, then take the next case

What You Do

  1. 1Read the case question above the comic scene
  2. 2Look closely for the one spot that seems suspicious
  3. 3Rub that spot with your eraser to reveal the hidden clue
  4. 4Enjoy the animated comic outcome
  5. 5Earn detective stamps and unlock the next chapter of cases

Controls

  • Drag one finger to rub the eraser over a spot
  • Tap the hint button if you get stuck
  • Swipe or tap arrows to move between cases

Tips for Players

Read the question twice — it always points at the kind of spot you should erase.

Small eraser circles save budget; you rarely need to rub a big area.

Wrong guesses cost nothing, so test your hunch instead of staring forever.

Save your daily riddle for when you want a quick five-minute mystery.

Accessibility note

Erase Detective uses simple tap-or-drag erasing, never punishes wrong guesses, and reads its case questions aloud-friendly in short sentences with large text. Fine rubbing needs some hand control; for a similar mystery feel without precise gestures, try Hidden Object House.

Questions & Answers

Nothing bad! You get a gentle “try again” wiggle, your eraser budget stays safe, and you can guess again right away.
