Overview

Pettson's Inventions Deluxe turns a workshop full of odd objects into a series of logic puzzles for children and families. Players help Pettson and his cat Findus get each contraption working by choosing parts and placing them where they belong. The game brings together 66 stages, including six new inventions, with a competitive VS mode and a co-op-friendly layout. Its hands-on drag-and-drop play encourages players to think about how objects fit together, while optional visual instructions can help when a puzzle proves tricky. The game is primarily aimed at children aged three and up, but its puzzles can also appeal to older players.

What You Can Do

⭐ Work through 66 invention stages, including six new puzzles. Each challenge asks players to identify useful objects and fit them into a machine so it can work.

⭐ Drag and drop parts into the right places. Watching the contraption respond gives players a practical way to see whether their choices and arrangements solve the puzzle.

⭐ Compete in VS mode, either against a friend or against the clock. This adds a race-to-finish option alongside the regular puzzle-solving experience.

⭐ Use the co-op-friendly layout for a more collaborative session. Friends or family members can take turns deciding which pieces to try and where they might fit.

⭐ Turn on optional visual instructions for help with a puzzle. The guidance is not required, so players can also try to work out the machines on their own.

⭐ Increase the challenge by including fake parts in inventions. These extra pieces make it harder to identify which objects belong in the machine.

Using the App

The main interaction is direct and tactile: look over the available objects, drag a part to a spot in the invention, and see what happens. This makes the puzzles accessible to young players while giving them room to test ideas and notice how the pieces work together.

Players can use visual instructions when they want guidance, or leave them off to tackle a machine without that help. The option to include fake parts also provides a way to raise the difficulty, rather than keeping every puzzle at the same level.

For shared play, the VS mode offers competition against another person or the clock, while the co-op-friendly layout supports working through challenges together. Voices are available in English, German, and Swedish.
