Time Heist

About

Time Heist is a multiplayer word game where two teams battle to alter or protect history. One team steals artifacts, the other prevents time from figuring out. Each side picks a captain who sees the screen and directs their squad. Captains reveal a century and category, then trade cryptic hints to guide guesses. After every clue, the rival team gets a shot at solving it. Players discuss, refine theories, and shout answers in alternating turns. Win enough rounds to claim control of time. Three modes adjust the pace: short bursts of three missions, five for a balanced match, or seven for an endurance test. The game thrives on quick thinking and teamwork. Captains must balance clarity and secrecy while teammates interpret clues under pressure. Since 2020, it's been a hit in browser-based lobbies for its blend of strategy and chaos. Runs smoothly on web browsers with no install needed. Fast mode games last minutes, Legend mode can stretch for hours. Best with groups who love verbal sparring and history trivia. No need for complex rules, just words, wit, and a clock.
