Tiny heist

How to play Tiny heist

Every run gives you a tiny job: steal the office stapler back from facilities, liberate the last slice of birthday cake, or reclaim the parking spot your neighbour guards with a traffic cone. Planning happens in three picks. First choose a crew member (Nan, a street mime, a confident toddler), then a tool (a clipboard, a litter grabber, a suspiciously loud bluetooth speaker), then an escape route. Once the plan is locked, the caper plays out beat by beat. Each pick either suits the job or blows it wide open, and the combination decides whether you walk away a legend or get caught red handed. You get a success rating out of 100 and a debrief at the end.

Tips

• Read the briefing carefully, every job rewards different skills
• Loud picks are great for causing distractions but terrible for quiet jobs
• A high heat plan can still succeed, it just gets much messier on the way
• Six jobs rotate and every combination plays out differently, so experiment

About Tiny heist

Tiny heist is a heist planner for crimes that do not matter, which is exactly why they matter so much. Movie heists have vaults and lasers; real life has a stapler that facilities took away and a parking cone that has no legal standing. This game gives those tiny injustices the full caper treatment: a briefing, a crew, a tool, an escape route and a beat-by-beat playout where everything can go wrong. There are six rotating jobs and hundreds of plan combinations, each producing a different little story. Endings range from a perfect tiny crime to getting caught by the last person you wanted, or accidentally stealing something much bigger. Runs take two minutes, which makes it dangerously easy to say one more heist. No logins, no downloads, no actual crimes.
