nm, just heisting. wbu? Solution
The goal is to get all 6 characters to join your heist team. The catch is that players must make the ask while conforming to a specific linguistic rule. Each character has their own rule, which is hinted by their physical item. The character also conforms to the rule in their own text speech.
In order to pass an interaction with a character, players must, in the same message, both ask the character to join the heist team and their entire message must conform to the character's rule. After an interaction is passed, they are given the contact information for the next character.
| Character | Rule | Example of a passing message |
|---|---|---|
| Eric "Rick" Stahl | Your message cannot include the letter "e" | Join us to rob a casino? |
| Sam Barr | Each word in the message must have exactly one syllable | Will you join our heist team? |
| Christa Marcel | Your message must include the amount of money you will pay her for the job, which must be equal to 1000 x the number of "holes" in your message. Numbers aren't included in the count of holes. 2 holes: B 0 holes: CEFGHIJKLMNSTUVWXYZcfhijklmnrstuvwxyz | Help us rob a casino for…$8000? |
| Amos Dalton | Your message must include a poker hand that beats the poker hand Amons just said. | Amos: I'm flush out of time, my friends. There's no way I'm joining your heist. You: Ahhhh we can make it straight. Flush outta time ain't an excuse, I'm afraid. Join us and make some cash! |
| Perry Legalt | Your message cannot include capital letters or punctuation | hey perry can you please join our heist team |
| Erin Fiorina | Each message includes a pair of homographs (words that are spelled the same but have different meanings) | We won't be home safe until we crack the safe - will you join us? |
After they have passed all of the interactions, Erin says "Well folks, looks like you've got an acrobat on your side. With my dramatic entrance onto the casino floor, I'll make sure to entrance all of security so you can sneak past. Oh hey, I have a novel idea. Why don't you take a look back at the folks we recruited? Just the first bit, we're not writing a novel here! "
Which clues players to the first letter of the first name of each character.
Rick
Sam
Christa
Amos
Perry
Erin
Which almost looks like an answer, but not quite. Remember that Rick is actually a nickname - because he despises the letter E. His real name is Eric, revealing the answer "ESCAPE"
Solution
