Home Sheep Home
Three sheep, three sizes, one way home.
About Home Sheep Home
Home Sheep Home is a 2010 puzzle platformer by Aardman starring Shaun the Sheep. Shaun, Shirley and Timmy have wandered away from the farm, and they need to get home before the farmer notices. Each level is a little side-on world of fences, crates, seesaws and pipes, with an exit that all three sheep have to reach.
The key is that the sheep are different sizes. Shirley is big and heavy: she can push crates, hold down switches and break through things, but she cannot jump far or fit through gaps. Timmy is tiny and fits anywhere, but he can't move heavy objects. Shaun is in between. You switch between them and use their differences – one sheep as a weight, another as a step, the third squeezing through – to solve each level.

Stuck? Hints, gentlest first
Hint 1 – plan who goes where
Before moving, look at the exit and every obstacle. Decide which sheep needs to press which switch or reach which ledge.
Hint 2 – Shirley is a tool
The big sheep can push heavy blocks, hold down switches and act as a platform. Many levels are solved by placing Shirley first.
Hint 3 – stack the sheep
Smaller sheep can stand on bigger ones to reach high ledges. Timmy fits through narrow gaps the others cannot.
Home Sheep Home was released in 2010 by Aardman, the studio behind Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. It was one of the most charming games on the web – full of tiny animated jokes – and its sequel, Home Sheep Home 2, followed a year later.
