Operation E.G.G.
Episode 1: Stolen IQ
One of our agents Lisa Hammerschmidt went missing and we suspect Professor BlackSheep behind all of it. She managed to initiate the BlackBox protocol to send us all her intel before we lost connection. Track her trail and help us fight the evil Professor.
Mission Brief
Agent Lisa Hammerschmidth has discovered Professor Blacksheep’s evil plan. For some time now, the despicable sheep has secretly been kidnapping top scientists, and forcing them to join his attempts at world domination. Agent Hammerschmidth has been captured, but in one final act of courage she was able to transfer her files to HQ before being taken prisoner. Your mission is to decode Agent Hammerschmidth's secret messages, to find and free her. Together you can stop Professor Blacksheep in his tracks, and bring our top scientists home.
Episode 2: Alpha Brain System
Professor BlackSheep is developing a weapon called the Alpha Brain System, capable of hijacking humanity's brain power. Agent Crimson is moving further into The Cube to find it - will you help her?
Mission Brief
Your mission begins where we left off at the end of Episode 1: Lisa Hammerschmidt - aka Agent Crimson - has been rescued from her prison in The Cube, and has briefed the agency on Professor BlackSheep’s evil plan. The Professor has been kidnapping the world’s top scientists and forcing them to build a system capable of hijacking humanity’s brain power, and turning the world’s citizens into sheep-like followers. Agent Crimson is moving into the heart of The Cube to locate this machine, known as Alpha Brain Systems, and free the kidnapped scientists. Some time ago we lost contact with her, and Agent Q and Lord Hammerschmidt are going in to find her. Your job is to direct them from Mission Control, to help them find Agent Crimson, and stop Professor BlackSheep in his tracks.
Episode 3: Humanity 2.0
Agent Crimson and MrQ have destroyed the Alpha Brain System, but not before Professor BlackSheep managed to escape. But the Professor no longer needs that old piece of machinery. He’s now setting his sights on a new vision, Humanity 2.0, a world order where humans only have access to the intelligence they deserve.
Mission Brief
Professor BlackSheep has retreated to his hideaway in the North Pole, known as White Hat AI, where he has built a supercomputer capable of carrying out his plans. Agent Crimson and MrQ are rejoined by Lord Hammerschmidt, MrsQ and the escaped scientist Frank Erikson. Together they are on a mission to find the Professor’s lair and shut down the weapon, and they need your help!

Mission Brief
A small step for a mouse, but a giant leap forward for Print+Cut+Escape, "Prison of Memories" has a number of advances and stylistic differences from the earlier games.
For a start - it's definitely our most challenging game yet. It also features our most digitally advanced puzzles yet - with new interfaces and new ways to interact with the online system. On top of that, we've made it more environmentally friendly, by reducing the number of printed pages that aren't used for puzzles (without skimping on our customary gorgeous artwork).
Mechanics of the Heart
Mr. and Mrs. Q’s helpful and reliable reconnaissance droid, MM7, is starting to ask questions all robots inevitably ask, “What is Love?” and “How do you know you’re loved?” You’ll be tasked to help MM7 decipher the complex and puzzling ways of love in our world in order to help focus him on our daily mission to save the world from the villainous network of the Evil Professor.
