Clean up and catch the puppy!

A playful puppy has left poops all over the park. Use the fly clues to find every one without stepping in it, then put up fences to catch the puppy before it runs off.

Tap a covered tile you know is safe.

No guessing, ever

Every board can be cleaned up with logic alone, from your very first tap. If you're stuck, there's always a safe move to find.

Then catch the puppy

Once the park is clean, the puppy lands. Put up fences to box it in before it runs off the edge, then get a big puppy hug.

Three boards

The Puppy Pen (7 × 10), the bigger Puppy Yard with two puppies, and the Puppy Park, sized to your phone, with a pond in the middle.

Your colours, light or dark

Four colour themes, Sunny Park, Cozy Den, Bubble Bath and Carnival, plus a dark mode for evening play.

Healthy play built in

Optional break reminders and play limits help you pace yourself. They're off until you turn them on.

Free and family friendly

Puppy Sweeper is free with occasional, child-safe ads. A one-time purchase removes them for good.

See it on your phone

Big tiles, bright colours, one happy puppy.

Boards are tall and narrow, so tiles stay big on a phone. Pick one of four colour themes, in light or dark mode.

How to play

Clean up first. Then catch the puppy.

  1. Tap a tile to look. Your first tap is always safe and opens up an area of the park.
  2. Read the clues. A fly with a number tells you how many poops touch that tile. Long-press, or use Flag mode, to mark a poop.
  3. Fence in the puppy. When every poop is found, the puppy lands. Tap tiles to put up fences before it reaches the edge. Learn the patterns that always work.
