About Museum Night Shift

You play the museum's night guard in Museum Night Shift, a turn-based puzzle game where you must outsmart a clever thief on a hex-grid floor. Each move you make triggers the thief to take his own step, so you need to think ahead and position yourself to cut off escape routes. Security switches let you open and close gates to trap your target before he reaches the emerald or to corner him after he grabs it. The game presents 50 handcrafted puzzles spread across five different museum wings, each requiring careful planning to solve. Efficient captures earn you coins that unlock entries in your exhibit album. There is no timer pressing you, so you can study the layout and plot the perfect interception at your own pace. Once you finish the campaign, New Game+ mode opens with double coin rewards for an extra challenge. Whether you are a fan of logic puzzles or strategy games, Poki Games offers this clever cat-and-mouse chase that rewards patience and foresight.
