Figure out which kid and pet belong at which desk using the clues hidden in the scene, and then drag their name and portrait to the correct desk label (click Show/Hide Desk Labels to toggle the labels). When you solve either an entire desk (easy mode) or the entire scene (difficult mode) correctly, it will be marked correct. Click Show Highlights to show which objects are clickable.

This game runs fine on mobile, but details may be hard to see or click on smaller devices.

A note for dedicated puzzlers: It is possible to solve this puzzle without using gender to match names and faces.

Loved it! The emerging deduction genre is one of my favorite developments in puzzle gaming, and I’m still jonesing for more

is this just based off the case of the golden idol?

screen is too big

It's designed to be the right size for 1920x1080 screens, but if you have a lower resolution screen, hit the fullscreen button in the bottom right and it should resize to your device.

I don't know, is Case of the Golden Idol just based off Return of the Obra Dinn?

I think you could call both CotGI and this game "Obra Dinn-likes", but I think that this brings very different things to the genre (for starters, it has artwork that doesn't make me want to shut down my computer).  I really liked this one.
