Thief Puzzle: Stick Hero Rescue is a casual brain-teaser from mobile publisher WONDER GROUP, playable free in the browser as an H5 game. You control a sneaky stickman thief with a stretchy rubber hand. On each stage you tap or drag to draw a path that extends the elastic arm around walls, guards, sleeping dogs, spikes and other hazards to grab cash, gems and valuables without getting caught. The trick is that the hand follows your line exactly and cannot pass through obstacles, so you must curve around them rather than swipe straight across your target. One careless line can spring a trap and fail the stage. Many levels accept more than one route, rewarding creative, lateral thinking as much as pure logic. Stages are short and self-contained, growing trickier as you climb past a hundred levels that mix steal-the-loot puzzles with light rescue and trap scenarios.
How to play Thief Puzzle: Stick Hero Rescue
- Study the stage to spot the loot (money, gems, valuables) and every hazard sitting between you and it.
- Press and hold on the thief's rubber hand, then drag to draw the path the arm will follow.
- Curve the path around walls, guards, dogs and spikes — never draw straight over the target or an obstacle.
- Release to send the hand along your drawn route and snatch the item.
- Collect everything and avoid every trap to clear the stage and unlock the next one.
- If a route fails, just retry — many levels have more than one working solution.
Controls
- Desktop: Click and hold on the thief's hand, drag the mouse to draw a curved path around the obstacles, then release to grab the loot.
- Mobile / tablet: Tap and hold the hand, drag your finger to trace a path around the hazards, then lift your finger to snatch the item.
Thief Puzzle: Stick Hero Rescue tips & strategy
- Trace slowly and curve wide — the hand follows your line exactly, so leave clearance around guards, dogs and spikes.
- Never draw a straight line over the object you want; loop around it and touch it from a safe angle.
- Some stages require grabbing a key, guard or trap first — clear the blocker before you reach the cash.
- On multi-item levels, look for the single sweeping route that collects everything without doubling back into a hazard.
- If you're stuck, remember levels often have multiple solutions — try an unexpected, roundabout path.
- Most stages have no timer, so plan the whole route before you release the hand.

The game has hundreds of short, sequential levels — walkthrough videos reach level 149 and beyond — with difficulty rising as you progress. No official total is published.
Can I play it in a browser without downloading anything?
Yes. The H5 version runs directly in a web browser on desktop or mobile, with no install required.
