Bring Your Pet To School Day
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 most mobile devices other than iPads, 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.

Very fun puzzle game! My favorite part was the joke, and in a way hidden hint, for the chameleon and its owner.
This is really fun! Harder than I expected it to be. I'd love to see more games in this style.
I'm glad you liked it! If you want more you can play the first 3 rooms of my longer deduction game, Surradia, on Steam or Itch. It's the same style of puzzle but even trickier!
Alright, this was pretty nice.
Nice game! I love these kind of puzzles
Hi nice game you got here. Would you consider adding other languages for your game? If you have plans in this direction, I can voluntarily translate this game into Turkish.
Un QUIÉN ES QUIÉN cozy LLENO de MASCOTAS | BRING YOUR PET TO SCHOOL DAY
Averigua qué niño y mascota pertenecen a qué escritorio usando las pistas ocultas en la escena y luego arrastra su nombre y retrato a la etiqueta del escritorio correcto (haz clic en Mostrar/Ocultar etiquetas de escritorio para alternar las etiquetas). Cuando resuelvas un escritorio completo (modo fácil) o toda la escena (modo difícil) correctamente, se marcará como correcto. Haz clic en Mostrar destacados para mostrar qué objetos se pueden seleccionar. Este juego funciona bien en dispositivos móviles, pero puede resultar difícil ver o hacer clic en los detalles en dispositivos más pequeños. Una nota para los amantes de los rompecabezas: es posible resolver este rompecabezas sin usar el género para unir nombres y caras.

I really enjoyed how some of the pets where using their natural instincts that was a cute touch of creativity!
Gabe isn’t tardy, he got here before me, the teacher (sub).
loved it!!!
I figured it out! I like deduction games, good job. How did you make this, like what language and did you do the art?
Thanks! I made it in Godot and I did everything including the art!
Pure genius posting the solution so everyone can see it.
bruh wtf delete this. this game is great and you're spoiling it before people even get a chance to play
Nice, no guesses needed and solving without gender is a fun added challenge
I'm glad someone tried solving it that way! I wanted to be sure it was possible.
I just love how the logic in this puzzle is using common sense to create the right premises. I tried writing this puzzle in formal logic, and I gave up because when I finished all the premises I used when I intuitively solved the puzzle, there were 75 premises, so the actual proof would be likely 1000+ lines. Yet this puzzle was a nice 15ish minute solve. It goes to show how good our brains are at logic!
Wow! Short and sweet but a perfect challenge that really uses every detail in the scene. Great work!
Cute!
Having a very hard time playing on browser! It won't scroll so I cannot even get to the full-screen button. I'll download it and see if that works because it does look very cute.
Update: It was in fact very cute! A bit too quick, which is why I would have loved to play it in the browser.
A very fun puzzle, the difficulty was just right for me
this is lovely! all the deductions are super clever, had a great time with this one :)
solved it with a bit of brute force (on easy mode)
wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
(SPOILERS) "owning a cat taught me about responsibility" girl clearly it did not
Loved it! The emerging deduction genre is one of my favorite developments in puzzle gaming, and I’m still jonesing for more
Such a sweet game! Had fun solving it :)
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.
remember that we're also playing this in a browser.
I guess I'm just used to the games not taking up the whole screen. just remember that if you're having trouble scrolling down to the full-screen button, the menus in the top-left won't nullify your scrolling.
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.
the slightly moving characters and "fill-in the blanks with all the names" is more similar to CotGI.
I would say Obra Dinn is different in key ways, enough to say that they are both just part of the matching puzzle+lore genre. there is another game like Obra Dinn where you are a map guy who is trying to find a guys daughter, that makes it distinctly it's own series.
Very fun, I enjoyed
