As an up-and-coming informant under the leadership of the Professor, it is your job to gain his trust and gather intelligence on how to proceed during the next case. Explore the streets, gather documentation, and piece together the information in this money heist AR case.


However, with the number of tabs and various chatbots used during the game, the story ended up becoming muddled, and by the end of the game, our team wasn't quite sure if we were on the side of good or bad.

The game mainly takes place using a chatbot feature. You will receive information based on the correct answers given to the group by various informants you will meet during the case. There are also multiple websites and links for you and your team to follow that will reveal secrets that might be hidden in plain sight. It was all made using an in house interface that follows nearly the same format as games previously (link to Relive moments and collect infinity stones review)

This is a game of observation and logical deduction that will lead you to complete your goals. If you provide a couple of incorrect answers, the game will then direct you to a hint page to help you piece together the solutions needed. However, the hints given in this game were hit or miss, depending on where you were in the puzzle-solving process. It is also worth noting that at least one member of your team will need a Facebook and email account.

"The Big Heist" was a game that did not deliver on its promise of being an action-filled, adrenaline-fueled game that kept players on the edge of their seats while solving puzzles under pressure. Most of the time, the group had trouble trying to figure out what the game was asking of us, and sometimes how to input the answers. With multiple tabs and chatbots active, participating in the story felt more like an exercise in browser management than engaging with puzzles. While there were a few clever moments in the game, there weren't enough to recommend this experience.
