How to play

Knowledge Heist in five steps.

  1. 1

    The host writes one to five multiple-choice questions with correct answers and explanations.

  2. 2

    Players enter the heist and answer the current challenge privately.

  3. 3

    Correct choices add tools and extend the room's shared streak.

  4. 4

    Wrong choices raise the fictional alarm but never expose an individual during play.

  5. 5

    Complete the escape, reveal the explanations, and see how much knowledge the team carried out.

Example round

The onboarding vault

Questions about customers, tools, values, and escalation paths become locks in a fictional vault. Each correct answer earns another gadget; misses make the laser grid dramatically more inconvenient.

Best for

Use it when the room needs…

  • Company all-hands
  • Onboarding
  • Training review
  • Teams that prefer cooperative scoring

Facilitator tips

Keep the chain moving.

  • Mix recall questions with realistic application questions.
  • Keep the heist metaphor playful and separate from real security behavior.
  • Celebrate a strong team streak, then revisit the explanations behind any alarms.

Participation and accessibility

The game uses cooperative scoring and keeps active answers private. Hosts should use plain-language questions and avoid visual-only clues so everyone can contribute to the shared mission.
