Shelve the Potions! Items and Clues Guide

Use items and clues as the bridge between a shelf theme and the final order; do not try to catalogue all 2,000+ potions before solving the active shelf.

Evidence Used

• Official descriptions mention hidden clues, special items, missing potions, and cat guidance.
• The site plan excludes a complete 2,000+ potion database at launch because demand and maintainability are not proved.
• Official sources confirm Shelve the Potions! is a Windows single-player organizing puzzle game by Knight Owl Games with 2,000+ unique potions and 24 Steam achievements.

Clue Types

Track notes, symbols, environmental objects, missing items, potion labels, colors, shapes, and any special interaction that changes what a shelf means.

Where Clues Appear

Search near the shelf first, then scan adjacent furniture, corners, and earlier room objects. If the cat hint points elsewhere, treat that as a clue-location signal.

Spoiler-Safe Tips

Record clue meaning before recording the final order. That keeps future solution pages useful for players who want a hint without a complete answer.
