Are You a Criminal Mastermind?

Has your life become boring and predictable? Do you spend your evenings watching lame television shows with a ready meal on your lap? Perhaps you would like to get out more, but are just too strapped for cash to afford glamorous experiences.

Now you can solve all your problems in one go. At least that is if you have what it takes. Fail, and you might find yourself behind bars. Do you think you could pull off the next big heist? Join a long list of famous robbers as you plan a robbery that could make you rich.

Just like one of those roleplaying murder mysteries, now you can take part in Heist Live, a brand new experience developed by differenceEngine, where you take on the role of a criminal mastermind. Enter a murky underworld in which you hide, sneak, and blag your way through an epic theft.

Your target? The old BBC London Studios, which for the duration between 12th February - 8th March, has transformed into a secure bank kept under lock and key. Can you get across four floors of security challenges and break into a sealed room?

Your mission? Steal the contents and get out undiscovered.

The prize of success is high, and the cost for participating is low. A standard ticket is £22.50, concessions are £17.50, and if you join up with friends, then it is £20 each. If you don't have anyone in your circles that you trust, then put your faith in a group of like-minded strangers. It is a game of teamwork, code breaking, and thrilling action.
