Hi Joe…
Just recently discovered the Clutter games. I bought Clutter II first and then the first one. Love Clutter II! I’m well into Clutter I and I’m still waiting for it to get challenging. So far it’s not that fun because it’s too easy. I’m thrilled there will be a Clutter III, but really hope you will give us the difficulty option like in Clutter II, and maybe even a crazy difficulty option for those of us who don’t want to lazily beat each level on the first try (makes the game last longer). Thanks Joe!

I am truly addicted to Clutter 2. I want 1 and 3 but, I only have dial-up out here in the sticks. Is there anyway to purchase these? Your game relieves stress for me. Thanks..keep up the good work!
I would love to be a beta tester for clutter III. I play 1 and 2 when ever I am bored and need a few minutes of pick me up, Usually everyday for about an hour or more.
My wife and son both love clutter 1 and 2. We would love to help test. i think they would also love multiple player logins, so they don’t have to share the game.
Jon
I love both Clutter 1 & Clutter 2, I’m thrilled to hear there’s to be a Clutter 3! BTW, I would love to be a Beta tester, what are the requirements? Thanks for the fun, Jan
Hi. Love both games. Just wondering what kind of animals are making those screeching sounds in the background?
Hi Delyla:
Glad you’re enjoying the games. I’m not sure what you mean by “what kind of animals are making those screeching sounds” in the background…are you referring to the ambient treadmill noises?
Thanks for taking the time to comment here.
Joe
Very glad to hear you’re planning a Clutter III. The first two versions are favorites of our family. Two things I dislike are the coordinates “find the spot” thing at the end of a level (I find this pointless); and on the mini game where you have to find the correct spot within a larger picture, the cursor gets “stuck” as you try to move up to the SKIP button. I always skip this one because there’s no challenge; when you are over the correct area on the picture there is a color change.
But overall, love these games. They have great replay value. Thank you!!
Hi Rozzella:
Thank you for all the feedback.
The “Find the Spot” thing…is more for the “surprise” of what you find…than finding it…but I hear you. I believe the Skip is just a delay for a few seconds so people know they’re locked into the game part. (It goes away, I think).
Many people have told me how much they love the games…but I’m still trying to get some of the details right. My philosophy, is that I try to put so much variety in the games….that if you don’t like one of the minigames, there’s always another different one that you might like. (For instance…you’d be surprised at how many people hated the Clock puzzle, but then there were quite a few, who comment on the Clock being their favorite.
Thanks again for writing….Hope you left me a nice review wherever you played the game.
Joe
I only have Clutter II, and I have these comments: 1) I really enjoy this game, as I have virtually (get it? virtually?) abandoned most of my other games; 2) I WANT MORE PLATES, they are totally under represented. I’m talking about the mini game where you select three from the end of the rows; 3) I would like to play the Pool game IF the cursor would obey my commands. However, it may be because I’m using Windows 8. But if not, can you please send me a patch? 4) It would be nice to see some fireworks and a banner saying “congratulations” when I do happen to beat the time clock on a mini game.
I sound like a complainer, don’t I. Imagine how I would sound if I didn’t love the game!
Sallie
I agree that these games are such enjoyment, but the he said she said with the darn clock and pool balls was NOT fun and I had to skip each one and having bad eyes the flashlight one is a royal pain, but the main game of de-cluttering is fun and I play both games over and over and never get tired of them, I hope you continue, but leave that clock out and skip some of the puzzle in between declutterinng, not fun….mostly I skip them, but keep up the good work like in Clutter 1……!!
Hi Rebecca:
Well…first, thanks for the nice comments. Yeah…the clock and pool balls are not for everyone. At least in Clutter II, you can skip the Minigames (in options…I hope you play it that way).
Joe
Love the games 1 and 2 and cant wait for the next one. I play it all the time great exercise for the brain.
Send e-mail when it is available.
Hi William:
Working on Clutter 2.5 now. (Clutter Extreme: Minigame Madness).
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Have a good Turkey Day.
Joe
I am addicted to CLUTTER 1 and HE SAID SHE SAID. I own many Big Fish games that are going to waste because I only play your CLUTTER games. Some times I have both games going at the same time!! Please get another out there soon. I think you’re a genius!! Thank you for entertaing me in such a wonderful way.
I love the first two games and play them over and over again. I love the Egg displays alot. It depends on my mood whether I play the mini games. I appreciate the skip button so I’m not locked into the game. I am very much looking forward to your next game and hope to see it on Big Fish Games very soon.
Awesome job on Clutter II. Have to play it everyday !!! I’ve been totally hooked ~ the stockpile challenge 5/5 is my all time favorite vice and love the 3 on a match ~ plates, since it came out in May. I still think you need to include a ” support group ” with the game… hahaha
In Clutter 3 please include other challenges like my faves mentioned above…
A million thanks to you, Joe, and your whole dynamite team. You absolutely make my day EVERYDAY.
Hope your holidays are fantastic !!!
Kathy
Thanks Kathy:
That made my day….Hope you have a nice thanksgiving as well.
Joe
Have played Clutter 1 & 2 over and over, giving myself new challenges each time, for example: try to get through using no hints, trying to do it without any misclicks, etc. I just wish there were a “high score” or “leaderboard” option to the game so each of the family members can try to outdo the high scorer. Unless we keep a piece of paper with each person’s name listed and then write down each score, we have no idea how we are doing against each other. Would like to see a “clutter 3″ someday.
Hi Tammy:
Glad you’ve enjoyed my games. Definitely planning on a Clutter 3 next year…next game this year is going to be called Minigame Madness (Featuring Extreme Clutter). Thanks for writing.
I like the whole idea of clutter. story and game. am going to get clutter 2 for sure.
Hi,
I was just replaying Clutter II for the umpteenth time and would like to offer one small suggestion. I play on the most difficult level and sometimes it takes several tries to get it done. I would love an option that did not permit the time allowed to complete a game to go up as you fail…just so you have to fight it out until you get the results you need in the original time alotted. Aside from that, really love the game and am looking forward to Clutter III.
Mady
I have played the Clutters over and over. I just went through chemo and find the challenges good for my ‘chemo brain’.. Thank you and am looking forward to #3. Wrote down all the clutterisms because they are true and wise and writing helps me remember. Who are the nice faces you used in C2? Love hidden object games! Thanks again
I really like Clutter! It’s fun, but more than that, it works as a great early morning exercise for my brain! Can’t wait for October Joe!
I need Clutter 3 NOW! When will it be here
I love the games. I’ve played them both through many times. Is there a way in Clutter II to just do the Stockpile games at the end? Some days I am just ready for a little challenge. Keep up the good work!
Hi Bee:
Yes, you can play just the Stockpile challenges.
From the Main Menu screen click on either the Flashlight or the Binoculars.
If you go to Style 5 – you will get the Stockpile Challenges (5 in each).
They aren’t timed there…but it does keep track of your best time.
Joe
Wonderful little games, though they do tend to be a bit “preachy”. Yes, I can turn it off, but I have to admit that I find it wiggling into my brain that I really do have to clean my home up. The more I play these two games, the more I feel I have to clean. Insidious. *wink*
My biggest request is for a game that can be more like an adventure, where you can “unlock” areas by doing the puzzles. I don’t mind the “hidden object” part of these games, but I bought them for the puzzles. Can’t get enough of the puzzles. Yours are very different and that is what keeps me coming back. Also, it would be really great to have no timers at all as an option. That would mean the “2 minute challenges” as well. Perhaps you could give more hint coins to those who use the timer and less to those who don’t? I play games to relax, not to run myself ragged trying to race through something in record time. No timers at all would make them very enjoyable little games.
Speaking of hint coins, could you raise the limit from 99 to something like 999? It would be great to be able to see how high you can take it without the counter running out. Perhaps two counters, one showing how many you have and one showing how many you’ve used? Maybe there could be bonus puzzles for those who complete the game with only 30 or less hints used? Just a thought.
Also, I would prefer to have the option to drop the voice overs and to skip the “theatre screen” part. Once you’ve seen and heard “welcome back to He Said She Said with Leon and Ana” a dozen times, it really gets tired.
Again, they are fun games and I’m glad I bought them (through Big Fish). I wish you much success for the future and hope to see more games by you. A very big thank you.
Marika
Hi Marika:
Some people took it as preachy…but it’s very, very easy to ignore the story elements…but mainly I was trying to be helpful, silly and/or funny in parts. I actually care way more about the gameplay than the story…but you need the story to be “a complete game”…so that’s why it’s in there.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
Joe
I like and enjoy playing this game. But there should be a way to get to the game quicker and also at the end too lone with the pictures. There should be a option to see them or not. Nice pictures.
Clutter is my game please keep making more I will buy all of them!
Mary
Hi Joe,
Just been told that Clutter 1 won’t load on Windows 7
Hi Nicky:
I don’t believe that’s true. It should have no problems on Windows 7.
Can you be more specific about what you think the problem is.
Joe
Hi Joe,
I absolutely love both clutters. I have no trouble with either of them. I am always up for a challenge and don’t think you should change anything.
When is clutter 3 coming out.
Great job keep it up.
The harder the better!!!!
Nicky
Hi,
I have bought Clutter2 from Big Fish and while I love the game, there are some real bugs in it, particularly the sliding puzzle game. You complete the puzzle and then the game doesn’t complete – instead you get co-ordinates coming up as you move the cursor. You have to click skip and then the results come up. Perhaps something was left in debug mode? As for the final moving stones game, I still can’t figure what on earth its all about.
Hi Suz:
In the Sliding puzzles…once you finish them…you can move the cursor…until the numbers that are showing…match the numbers up top. (and sometimes the words at the bottom give you a clue as to where that is).
It’s also ok…to hit the skip button…but you really can find the hidden spot fairly easily. (move the cursor slowly…and you’ll hopefully see how it’s connected to the numbers showing).
And the final moving stones game…was just a puzzle-way of making the point, that you should try everything (and not always just what you want). Basically…if a stone is picked at random…and if you don’t pick it…it keeps swapping with the one you pick…until you pick it…then it pops off.
I’ll try to do better with my instructions next time. (but in the last puzzle…I was trying for an “Ah-ha” moment…and not an…”Maybe it’s a bug” moment.
Thank you for taking the time to find my web-site…and let me know about it.
Joe
Have enjoyed both your Clutter games and hope a third is in the works. If so, please include a way for a quick exit from the game, such as an exit button or menu button always on screen.
Hi, Joe:
Was Clutter II going to be available through you or Amazon so we can avoid Big Fish? I sent you a PM but maybe you didn’t get it. Thanks!
Hi Eric:
Yes, I’m trying to get it on Amazon now. It will also be on iWin next Tuesday.
(I’m having difficulty contracting the right people at Amazon…so I don’t know yet when it will be available.
Joe
He Said She Said – Love this game. My daughter and I were very excited to have this one since we wore the first Clutter out.
At the end of level 7, I believe, there is a photo of runners. Could you tell me where and when this photo was taken and if you know the names of the people on the first line? The couple looks familiar to me and I’m wondering if they are people I knew years ago….thanks.
Hi Elizabeth:
Glad you’re enjoying the game.
That is the Zurich Marathon in 2010. It’s from the wiki commons.
In the blow up, you can read their names – Brutschin, Silva, and Wegmann
Joe
me and my partner loves these sort of games have you got anymore that you have done or that is comming out before september as i would love more of your games please. just two things be nice if you could turn of the timer on clutter 1 and a range of diffrent puzzles and more levels
clutter is AWESOME!!!!! hope i can get clutter 2 soon enough. aunt and dad likes it.
It may have been Big Fish, but I didn’t like their game manager.
I’ll PM you.
Thanks!
Is there any way other than Big Fish to get Clutter II?
Hi Eric:
Right now, it’s just on Big Fish Games. Eventually it will be on iWin…and also Amazon.
I’ve thought about selling it directly myself, but I haven’t set that up yet (and it’s a bit of a pain to do the support end of things).
I’m open to suggestions though, and I do have the ability to put a copy on my website and let someone download it.
And I can accept donations through Paypal at this time.
Where did you play/buy Clutter-I?
Joe
I love both Clutters. The only thing I didn’t like in Clutter 2 was that the skip button was in the playing field. I skipped a couple of boards when I really didn’t want to. So, if there is a Clutter 3 (please please please) put the skip button somewhere else. Thanks for your good work!
Gayle
Hi Gayle:
That’s a great point…I tried to put it far enough away that it didn’t matter….but I could have done that better. I’ll figure out a different way for the next game.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know that.
Joe
I have faithfully looked for this game every day on Bigfish. If I could have reviewed Clutter more than once I would have, but I was happy I was the first. I cannot wait for May. What a great Mother’s Day present.
Thanks Liz:
Hopefully a week from Monday, you’ll be able to get it.
Joe
Yes!!! You should sell it now. We’ve been waiting forever for it. Please.
April 2nd, 2012 is five days from now! Thanks Joe! I really like to play Clutter! I’m looking forward to the sequel!
Please make it available from you, too. Some of us don’t like having to use the Big Fish game client. Thanks!
I can’t run Clutter on my computer. The program tries to set the Vertical Frequency to 85 Hz but my monitor will not go faster than 75 Hz. Is there some setting I can make to the game to slow the Vertical rate down?
Tom
By bad! I was asking about the timer in Clutter One. Please??
Sorry Sue:
Only in Clutter II. No way to stop the Timer in Clutter I.
Joe
Hi Joe,
I absolutely LOVE this game! I do have a question – my young niece also likes this game but due to her age, she needs more time. Is there a way to stop or pause the timer??
Thanks in advance!
Hi Sue:
Either set the difficulty all the way to the left (easiest) or turn Timer Off (Uncheck Timer)
Both are in the Options dialog (either from the main menu…or clicking menu/options in the game).
Joe
Thanks Joe – my niece is going to love you more!!
Love it!!! There is no word for it!!!!
(Clutter) I must have sent this game back to you about 50 times, and want it back again. Thinking of buying it!!!! but I join the club, and I pay monthly. I got 300,000 points for playing Clutter, it’s like cigarettes, addicting! What other puzzles do you have???? Anne
Thanks Anne:
Hoping to have Clutter II done by the end of October. You can download “Rack’em Too” to try out one of my mini-games from it. You can also search around here for my older games (they’re not as good as Clutter but you might find something you like).
Is there anything you would improve upon in Clutter? Anything you would like to have the game do differently?
Thanks again for the nice words.
Joe
Love, Love, Love Clutter. It’s my go to game when I am bored with other games. Can’t wait for part two.
Thanks Val:
Can you tell me about your favorite parts?
And is there anything you would change?
What can I do better in Clutter II?
Thanks again…Joe
i would like for u to make a clutter part two ive beaten this game over 50 times, my son and my daughter beat it over and over and they just learned how to play last month they think its really challenging
Thanks. I’m working on the sequel now. Hoping to have it done by the end of September.
I LOVE Clutter and look forward to Clutter 2.
Here are a couple of things I would love to see -
1. A little less time spent in between playing. It seems like there is too much ‘air’ in the game.
2. I would like to be able to play different jigsaw style puzzles. At this time, I can only play about 4 different puzzles. It is great that I can do them in styles and difficulty levels!!! Can you put a place that I can enter my own photos?
Otherwise, I love it and hope to see something new soon!
Pat
Hi Pat:
It will let you play as many picture postcards as you’ve seen in the game. There is a bug…that if you’ve replayed the main game, then it will still limit you. I suggest going back in the main game and playing it further and then it will let you see more postcards for the picture puzzles.
You can also play just the Clutter by itself, by clicking on the Flashlight and the Binoculars from the main menu. (Each one let’s you play 25 variations).
Thank you for writing.
Joe
Hi again Pat:
Can you elaborate on the too much “air”?
The mini-games are all easily skipped (including the Postcard Game).
There is no requirement to read the stuff at the end of each level and although the rock screen and book must be navigated through, you don’t have to read them either.
Would you want an option that says “Skip Story”?
Was the pop-up help too annoying?
Would you want a “No more help” option too?
As always, any and all feedback will be appreciated.
Joe
Thanks for your responses.
Too much ‘air’ was where there was clapping. It does not have a method to go to the Menu and stop the clapping.
I have finished the game twice but still can only play 5 of the post cards. The other day, as I finished the whole thing, I could play about 20 puzzles but when I returned today, back to the original 5 only. That is what happened the first go around too.
I can’t wait for the next version and would like to do the beta as well, if you need more testers.
Pat
Thanks Pat:
I’ll look into the postcard problem…and see if I can email you a quick fix that will allow you access to all 60 postcards.
Joe
Hi Pat:
If you can find the game.cfg file that goes with the game. (usually in “\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\PuzzlesByJoe”).
You can then just edit the “pram2=” parameter…..and set it to something like “pram2=77″
That should get you all the postcards.
Good Luck
I wish there were more games like Clutter. my husband and I sit for hours playing this game. It is relaxing and the challenge is great. please send more out there. thank you
