The Glasshouse Heist

Plan the heist together. Decide what survives until dawn.

The Glasshouse Heist is a two-player investigative heist game that combines asymmetric private information, route planning, evidence reconstruction and a shared final operation where every remaining window matters.

This is not a host-led murder mystery and not a stack of disconnected PDF puzzles. You and your partner run one continuous operation: enter the Glasshouse, manipulate access signals, avoid surveillance, recover the archive, work out what the records really prove, then use the consequences of your own infiltration to decide what can still be protected before dawn.

How the game plays

• Two distinct roles. One player reads the building as a physical system; the other tracks signals, schedules and institutional records. Each player has private information the other needs.
• Plan several moves ahead. Doors, relay states and patrol sweeps interact. A move that solves the current problem can also prepare—or ruin—the next one.
• Your mistakes persist. Exposure can raise suspicion, close routes and change what is possible later instead of merely lowering a score.
• Investigate, don’t just collect. Compare physical evidence, reconstruct a disputed authorization timeline and test the logic behind the insurance scheme.
• Finish with Dawn Relay. Two packets travel through different networks while sharing the same relay state. In six windows, decide which protections, witness contact and evidence safeguards are worth the time you have left.

What kind of game is it?

The strongest part of The Glasshouse Heist is quiet cooperative planning: comparing private information, deciding what is worth risking, and seeing earlier decisions reshape the final operation. The case has fixed answers, so replay is about different entries, tools, routes, operation conditions and priorities—not receiving a completely new mystery each time.

If you want a two-player evening built around deduction, planning and consequences rather than speed or performance, this is the experience the game is designed to deliver.
