Cat & Mouse

Cat & Mouse
One of the very first Smart Games ever invented, Cat & Mouse scampered into hearts and homeschool conferences over 20 years ago—and now it’s back, exclusively at Timberdoodle! We’re thrilled to reintroduce this clever maze game to a whole new generation of curious thinkers.

Here’s how it works: Your child picks a challenge, grabs the maze tiles, and builds a path to connect the cat to the mouse—or the cheese, or whatever the goal may be. But here’s the twist: there’s more than one right answer. With over 1,000 possible solutions across 48 challenges, this isn’t just a logic puzzle—it’s a creativity playground.

Perfect for:

Stretching visual-spatial skills

Sharpening strategic thinking

Encouraging divergent, out-of-the-box problem solving

Introducing variable logic (that’s fancy talk for flexible thinking!)

Challenges ramp up from easy to brain-bending, so it grows with your child’s skill level. And when playtime’s done? Everything tucks neatly into the compact 7½-inch game board—ideal for road trips, waiting rooms, or sneaky learning between subjects.

Whether your kid is a logic-lover or a puzzle pro, Cat & Mouse is a smart way to build essential thinking skills—one twisty path at a time.

Let the chase begin!
