Watch out for Ex-boyfriend

Your ex is lurking somewhere nearby, and the only way to dodge him is to spot the right objects before he spots you.

The premise is simple and a little petty in the best way: your ex-boyfriend is at the same gathering, and you'd rather chew glass than have an awkward conversation. Each level is a room full of clickable clutter—mirrors, coats, snacks, whatever—and your job is to find the objects that actually change the situation. You're not just clicking randomly; you have to think about what would realistically distract him, block his path, or make you less noticeable. What got me was how the game rewards patience. Drag a curtain to hide behind, and he walks right past. Toss a drink on the floor and he slips. It's silly, but it works because every item has a logical interaction. The controls are dead simple: click to pick up, drag to use. If you're stuck, scanning the edges of the screen or clicking on things that seem harmless usually does the trick. Just be careful—some objects are total red herrings and will make him zero in on you faster. It's not a long game, but for a quick burst of spiteful fun, it hits the spot. I kept replaying a couple of levels just to see the different outcomes when you use the wrong object on purpose. If you've ever wanted to avoid someone at a party without actually leaving, this is your low-stakes training ground.

Click to find the item and drag it to use.

Check the edges of the screen first—hidden objects love to sit just outside your initial view. Don't waste time dragging every item; think about what would actually stop him from approaching. If he starts walking toward you, use the nearest large object to block the path immediately. Some clickable items are decoys that make things worse, so try them on a second run after you've won. Pay attention to subtle visual changes after each action; they hint at what the ex will do next. Replay levels to discover alternate solutions and hidden bonus interactions.
