The Heist: a casino caper party game where somebody on the crew is a rat
The grandest casino in town, after hours. Every job starts with a plan: a getaway driver, an inside man, a safecracker or some muscle. Crack the place floor by floor, until the Alarm goes and someone turns out to be the Rat.
The Heist isn’t open to the public yet. While you wait, Candlewake, our haunted-house party game, is free to play right now.

The Heist is an original online party game by Rucksy for 3 to 6 players. Every player is a crook on their own phone, and a TV or laptop can show the casino. Short on friends? AI crooks fill the empty seats.
The casino builds itself as you case it: the Casino Floor, the Penthouse above and the Vaults below, different every job. Pocket Tools, talk your way past Snags and lift the Prizes the house keeps behind glass. When the Alarm goes, one of 30 different endings begins, and one of the crew may be the Rat.
How a job goes
Work the plan
The crew is dealt one Plan for the night, and it helps everyone until the Alarm: extra moves, extra dice, or softer knocks.
Dodge the Snags
Pocket Tools, talk your way past Snags and lift the Prizes the house keeps behind glass.
When the Alarm goes
One Prize too many and every bell in the building rings. The plan goes out of the window, and one of the crew may be the Rat.
What makes it different
The Plan
Every job starts with a plan. When the night begins the crew is dealt one Plan, shown to the whole table: the Getaway Driver (+1 move every turn), the Inside Man (every scare hurts a little less), the Safecracker (+1 die when you test a room) or the Muscle (every knock hurts a little less).
It helps every crook, the Rat included, right up until the Alarm. Then the plan goes out of the window.
