Where to Find Every Newspaper in Mouse: P.I. for Completing and Solving

Select Language:

There are many different collectibles to find in Mouse: P.I. For Hire, and one type is Newspapers. These look exactly as expected, each with a random headline and a brief story from Mouseburg’s world.

There are 38 Newspapers in total, with around two to four usually found during each mission. If you miss any — except for those on the last mission — you can buy them at the shop near your P.I. Office. However, money is limited, so it’s best to locate as many newspapers as possible yourself and use the shop as a backup.

All Newspaper Collectible Locations

During each mission, you’ll find several editions of the Mouseburg Herald. Some are in plain sight where you proceed with the story, but most are hidden off the main path and require exploration.
