Squire for Hire is a brilliant little inventory management puzzle. It’s based on a tile-laying card game where you play as a squire trying to pack as much loot as possible into your hero's bag. The catch is that items have different shapes and you have to overlap tiles strategically to fit the most valuable items.
The digital version is snappy and perfect for quick 5-minute sessions. It turns the 'boring' part of RPGs—encumbrance and inventory Tetris—into a genuinely challenging and rewarding puzzle. The pixel art is crisp, and the scoring system keeps you coming back to try and find the most efficient layout for each quest.

Squire for Hire is a digital tile-laying game where you must manage a limited inventory space while collecting the best loot. As a Squire, you accompany heroes on quests; your job is to pack the bag! Overlap item tiles to hide junk and reveal treasure. Each quest brings new challenges and unique scoring conditions in this clever, compact puzzle.
Unique tile-overlapping mechanic
Quick, strategic sessions
Multiple Squires to unlock
Global leaderboards
Don't be afraid to cover up low-value items. You can overlap tiles as long as at least one square of the previous tile remains visible. Use this to hide the 'junk' items that reduce your score.
Each playthrough consists of a series of item drops. You must decide where to place them to meet specific scoring requirements for that run.
It is primarily a single-player high-score chaser, focusing on beating your own best score and competing on leaderboards.
