The big plot

In The Great British Museum Heist, players engage in a thrilling click-based interaction experience. Your mission is to steal the legendary gem from the museum. Navigate the environment using two methods: click on walkable areas or use the arrow keys to move your character seamlessly.Players can progress in one of two ways: distract the security guard to enter through the front door, or cut open the net securing the backdoor to sneak in undetected. Interact with various objects—each item holds a tool vital to your heist. Use your wits and strategic thinking to solve puzzles and evade detection as you work toward your ultimate prize.

Mechanics Overview

In The Great British Museum Heist, the front door approach offers a satisfying combination of simplicity and clever distraction. Right at the beginning, you stumble upon a stone conveniently lying on the pavement just outside the museum. The guard, who's otherwise stationed at the front door, has sharp eyes—getting past him undetected is impossible. But that's where the stone comes into play.By picking it up and hurling it at the nearest window, the satisfying sound of shattering glass echoes through the quiet night. The guard immediately springs into action, leaving his post to investigate the source of the disturbance. This is your moment to shine. As the guard rushes off, you make a quick, smooth entry through the now unguarded front door, taking your first step into the museum's halls.

Way One The front door

Way TwoThe back door

For the more stealth-minded players, The Great British Museum Heist offers a quieter, more methodical way to break in—the backdoor. Although unguarded, the back entrance is sealed tight by a sturdy net. But fear not, this is where your wits come into play. Nearby, on a quiet patch of lawn, a pair of garden shears awaits discovery.Once you pick up the shears, it’s a simple matter of snipping through the net, cutting yourself a clean path into the museum. The real charm of this approach lies in its subtlety. No loud distractions or shattered glass—just a delicate, precise entry that gets you inside without a soul knowing.

The enterior

After sneaking past the entrance—whether through distraction or stealth—you’ll find yourself in the heart of the museum, face-to-face with the ultimate prize: the legendary gem. It's housed in a glass case perched on a platform, taunting you with its proximity. But, as expected, there's a catch. The case is alarmed, so smashing it without a plan will instantly alert the guard and blow your cover.Luckily, the security system isn't too complex to deal with. The alarm control is located conveniently nearby (blame the compact nature of the museum, or maybe just poor security design). With a few clicks, you can disable the alarm, removing the immediate threat.Now comes the tricky part. You’ll need to break the glass to get your hands on the gem, but doing so barehanded isn’t an option—unless you're keen on dealing with the pain. So, either use the trusty rock from earlier or the garden shears to shatter the case. With one well-placed strike, the glass breaks, and the gem is yours for the taking!But there’s a little secret hidden in this section. If you're the type to experiment, you might stumble upon an easter egg—triggered by a specific action that reveals some cheeky dialogue. It's a fun nod for curious players, rewarding them for thinking outside the box!
