Strategy tips

Ways to improve

Work methodically from one side of the illustration to the other, using zoom to sweep through balconies and windows before moving along the street. Save the hint meter for your final elusive cat, and listen for meows—they subtly pan toward a hidden feline. Completing postcards without hints awards bonus points that help you climb the global leaderboard.

  • Toggle full-screen mode to remove UI distractions and gain a wider view.
  • Look for repeating shapes like ears, tails, or whiskers peeking from foliage and guttering.
  • Revisit previously cleared postcards to tackle the timed challenge and sharpen your memory.
