Heist Logic book cover
Europe, 1923. A secret society of gentleman thieves operates across the continent. Their heists are legendary — until one of them betrays the rest.

Each puzzle is a heist. Each heist advances the story. As you solve logic grids — determining who stole what, where, and how — you piece together the narrative of an unraveling conspiracy. The puzzles grow harder. The betrayals grow deeper. By the final grid, you'll know who the traitor is. If you're good enough.

Logic grid puzzles meet narrative

If you've ever solved a logic puzzle — "the man in the red hat lives next to the baker" — you know the format. Now imagine 80 of them woven into a story.
