Get in. Get out. Don't get caught. Heisty is a daily, competitive logic puzzle where you are the mastermind behind a high-stakes heist. Compete in the heist each day to earn cash and gold, and then enter the black market to buy and sell famous pieces of art. Each day brings you a new target. To earn your cut, you must pull off the 3 stages of the heist: Recon - In this version of the classic Queens puzzle, you must determine where all of the security cameras are on the floor plan. There is exactly one camera in every room, row, and column, and no two cameras can touch. Breach - After finding the security cameras, you must use logic and a set of clues to determine the correct entry sequence into the building. Vault - Now that you've made it past security, the vault is all that stands between you and your prize. Use intel from your team to determine the combination for the vault and then make a quick getaway with your loot. Good luck, and welcome to the Crew.
