Crooks Like Us

Crooks Like Us is a party game for 1–8 players. You play as a crook in timed robbery scenarios, collecting valuables and getting them back to the escape van before time runs out. Loot loaded into the van earns money, and carrying several items at once builds a score multiplier, but taller stacks become wobblier and harder to control.

Robbery hazards

Rival crooks can hit you with items or dash into you, scattering your stack. Guards make you drop your items if they catch you. At any point, a player can jump into the van and use gadgets such as dropping anvils, causing earthquakes, spinning doors, laying banana skins and cutting the power.

With 30 seconds left in each level, the Vault opens and offers a special item that can be worth a game-changing number of points. You can also solve environmental puzzles to reach a one-off bonus safe, then throw it around to break it open and release the valuable item inside.

Levels and modes

Robberies take place in a Jewellery Store, an Ancient Temple, a Lost Mine, a Speedy Highway and an Underwater Paradise. The game has several modes:

• Free for all: collect as many items as possible before time runs out.
• Last Crook Standing: knock down the other crooks by dashing and throwing items.
• Teams: work together to collect the most items.
• First to 25k: be the first crook to earn 25k.
• Stack race: be the first crook to stack 10 items at once.
• Stack the logo: stack pieces of the Crooks Like Us logo in the correct order to score.

Crook customisation

You can change your crook’s hairstyle and hair colour, or choose a funny headpiece.
