How to play HeistIQ
A free, turn-based stealth puzzle game for your phone or desktop browser. Plan each move, steal the drive and make it back to the exit.
Your first escape
- Start with training. Move to a neighbouring accessible tile by tapping it, or use the arrow keys. Security advances when you take a turn.
- Read camera coverage and guard patrols before moving. Seeing you can raise the alarm; a camera sighting does not always end the run. Alarm level 3 triggers lockdown, and a guard catching you ends the attempt.
- Tap a device to preview its hack and confirm when you want to spend a charge. Hacking can disable a camera or open a door. Charges and effects are limited; watch their counters.
- Collect the drive, then return to the marked exit. Picking it up can reboot security, so plan your return route before taking it.
- Use the wait action when you need a patrol to move. Undo can help recover a mistake; each attempt has 3 undos.
Daily challenge or keep playing?
The daily heist uses the same map for everyone. Only your first attempt counts as your daily result; later attempts are practice. A new prepared daily map opens at midnight Istanbul time (UTC+3) during the pilot season. Share your result to compare with friends. Results stay on your device; there is no verified global leaderboard yet.
Want another heist right now? There are 20 free heists and 8 training heists. Free play does not require waiting for tomorrow. Some maps have optional loot: taking the extra risk is your choice.
