What is Haunted Paws?
Haunted Paws loop: customize two puppies, sniff clues onto the board, solve a co-op door, then run when a creature shows up.
Haunted Paws is a Cozy two-puppy co-op horror from LazyFlock (Lithuania), published by LazyFlock. A cozy two-puppy co-op horror about rescuing a kidnapped owner from a haunted mansion.
Dig, sniff, and bark, pin clues on a board, solve co-op puzzles, and run from evil creatures. Friend's Pass, local split-screen, online co-op, and Remote Play Together are on the Steam listing.
This Haunted Paws wiki follows Steam app 2861080 and Demo 4992280. It is not a Roblox experience and not a generic haunted-house browser game. The Haunted Paws guides cover the first session, co-op setup, puzzles, clues, creatures, and breeds. Check this Haunted Paws wiki again when the full release date leaves TBA. Use a Haunted Paws guide when the next clue, door, or friend invite is the blocker. Verified October 24, 2026.

- 1
Install the Steam Demo
Demo app 4992280 went live on October 8, 2026. The full game date is TBA.
Wishlist app 2861080 if you want the release notice.

A solo-only mode is Unverified.
- 3
Customize a puppy
The October 19 news names seven breeds, nine accessories, and a kitten-in-disguise fur.
Breeds are looks. No stat ranks are verified.
- 4
Search the apartment
Start where the owner disappeared and look for boards, notes, and smell trails.
Room-by-room maps are still incomplete.
- 5
Pin clues
Sniff, dig, or bark, then place the find on the investigation board.
A clue you do not pin does not advance the board.
- 6
Solve a two-puppy door
One puppy often holds an object, a key, or a switch while the other moves.
If a prompt needs both players, do not force it alone.
- 7
Run from creatures
Leave the room or take the long path when something hostile appears.
There is no weapon wheel on this site.
Quick tips
Tip 2
Bring a second player: online, split-screen, Friend's Pass, or Remote Play Together.
Tip 3
Customize the puppy first. The October 19, 2026 news names seven breeds and a kitten-in-disguise fur.
Tip 4
Sniff and pin clues before you force a door. The board is the investigation, not a combat log.
Tip 5
When a creature shows up, run or go around it. This site has no weapon or tier list.
Haunted Paws Mansion Layers
Read each space by the decision it asks for. Garden scarecrow and hidden-shelf notes come from media previews, not a finished map.
Apartment and clues
Search the owner's home and start the clue board.
Yard
Dig and follow the path between the home and the mansion.
Mansion rooms
Split roles on doors, keys, and carried objects.
Garden scarecrow
Media previews place a scarecrow hazard in the garden. Treat the name as Unverified until you see it.
Hidden shelves
Preview notes mention switches that move shelves. Exact rooms are TBA.
Creature encounters
Run, wait, or route around. Do not look for a weapon tier.
Session rule
A door is worth opening only if both puppies can reach the prompt and still leave.
