MOUSE: P.I. For Hire currently has 14 side jobs. Launch-week collectible and achievement coverage ties all of them to the Real Deal Gumshoe completion path, so the safest approach is to clear each job as soon as it appears instead of assuming you can clean it up later.

The jobs most players will miss
The two To Catch a Mockingmouse jobs
Between Alpha and Omega and Mouseburg Confidential are easy to drop because they are accepted during the mission instead of from normal hub cleanup. If you are achievement routing, treat both as hard-stop tasks before pushing the rest of the ship onward.
Perfect Bog Fondue
This one branches into a separate item hunt inside Damp Evidence. Use the dedicated Perfect Bog Fondue Thingies guide if you want the quick route.
Behind the Nuts
Launch-week reporting from PowerPyx flagged this job as bugged. If you are trying to protect a completionist save, make a manual save before you commit progress around this step and watch for patch notes.
Reward reads that matter most
- Schematics: Blueprints, Please, Poster Girl, and Behind the Nuts are the cleanest side-job schematic rewards. Tammy’s full reward chain is also covered in the B.A.N.G. side jobs guide.
- Baseball cards: Oh Yes… They Float and Friends in Deep Places matter for collectible runs because those rewards tie into the baseball card set.
- Prize Tokens: Perfect Bog Fondue, They Call it “Azurro Burgerro”, Fishy Business, and Slugs in the Shell all feed token cleanup.
Fast route notes
- Check the P.I. Office after each new main mission unlock.
- Clear side jobs tied to the current mission before moving into the next major story beat.
- Treat the two in-mission Mockingmouse jobs as immediate pickup-and-finish tasks.
- Keep a manual save before Behind the Nuts until the launch bug situation is clearer.
