Claw & Order: NAP Unit

A Solo/Co-op Cozy Mystery Game About Feline Justice

You are a highly-trained agent of the Neighborhood Assurance Patrol - a cat. And not just any cat. You’re part of an elite (read: completely self-appointed) unit tasked with keeping your block free of crime, chaos, and canine disruption. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to nap between the lines.

Inspired by emergent mystery games like Brindlewood Bay and Lovecraftesque, and built on PBTA-style play, Claw & Order: NAP Unit lets you dive whiskers-first into ridiculous neighbourhood drama, tail-twitching intrigue, and good old-fashioned feline espionage.

What’s the Story?

The neighborhood is your beat. A toppled birdbath? Suspicious. Missing tuna tins? Very suspicious. A dog off-leash? Catastrophic.

With each case, you and your fellow agents must:

• Investigate the clues
• Build your theory
• Solve the mystery before nap time (or snack time, whichever comes first)

The tension never gets too high - this is a cozy mystery, after all. No death, no danger, just drama, mischief, and maybe the occasional rodent uprising.

What You Need to Play:

• Two six-sided dice (2d6)
• A notebook or case log
• A suspiciously smug attitude
• Snacks (optional)

Features:

• Play solo, with a friend, or in co-op modeDesigned for quick setup and flexible sessions
• Tables for case clues, neighborhood gossip, dramatic twists, and unlikely culprits
• 6 Pre-written cases and scaffolding to help you build your own
• 7 Playbooks, each with unique abilities
• 6 Meddlesome Factions who want to usurp your favorite nap spot
• More cat-puns than anyone should ever have to read

Solve the case. Keep the peace. Protect the naps.
Meow is the time.
