Read the full game description
Live Mission Game: The Heist – Crime Does Pay is a cooperative deduction experience that blends a physical evidence dossier with a live web mission. The team must infiltrate the Zipacna cartel’s bank and steal the resources intended for a global cyberattack. Preparation is open-ended: documents, photographs, maps, and clues must be divided and interpreted before the clock starts. During execution, one player leads while the group coordinates field agents and responds to incoming media in real time. The story is a one-time discovery, although the physical materials can be reset and passed on.
