The Great Heist

The great heist was executed in the city of London. You and your fellow PIs are recruiting your assistants to gather clues to find the eight stolen goods. However, if you pay your assistants too much, your agency will close. If you don’t pay them enough, they will reveal their knowledge to your opponents as revenge for you being a miser. Can you find the stolen goods before your opponents without closing your agency, and without revealing too much of your clues?

The Great heist is a board game that uses a companion App to play the game. Using the App the players ask for clues (at a cost) and the App respond with answers as to how many goods are placed in the clue area (but not exact location). At the end of the turn, the clues the were paid the least are revealed to all players which will give them more information. Every other turn there is a police raid to one location of the game that also help figuring the real position of the stolen goods. Using known relation between the objects and the answers from the App and police raids players can figure out where the goods are placed on the map. At the end of the game, the player who paid the most for their clues (in order to avoid them from between revealed to the other players) will lose the game since his PI agency will close. All other players will score points for the stolen goods they found and how fast they found them.
