Small Time Criminals

Small Time Criminals An immersive live-action adventure experience in which your team of thieves stage a heist in a two-storey ex-bank building. Bookings were essential.

Permanently closed.

Small Time Criminals (2016-2017) was a game in which a team of up to six players cooperated to steal valuables from a corrupt investment bank. It was a real world simulation: a game that uses props, set dressing and lighting to create an immersive, realistic experience. You’d be figuring out where valuables are hidden or locked up, how to find or access them, and which ones might be worth the most

. There was no “correct” way to approach Small Time Criminals – which valuables you tried to steal, and in what order, were up to you. This also gave players the possibility of returning and trying different strategies to improve their team's score! Small Time Criminals was rated M15+ for content. Small Time Criminals was presented by Pop Up Playground, one of Australia's leading live games companies. Pop Up Playground made live games, immersive play, digitally supported games and street sports. They made games for the City of Melbourne, Bell Shakespeare, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the State Library of Victoria. Pop Up Playground hosts Fresh Air, Melbourne's International Festival of Games, and presented games in Copenhagen and New York. Great thanks to Active Spaces Darebin and the Darebin City Council. http://www.popupplayground.com.au

If you enjoyed robbing our bank - or if you missed out and want to make sure you get on board for our next game - the Comedy Festival program is out now, and you can already book tickets for our city adventure game "Where in Melbourne is Carmen (or Diego)?"!

One of the best jokes in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has gone missing! Rumour says it was stolen by international woman of mystery, Carmen Winnebago. Or possibly her brother, Diego Winnebago. (It's a vague rumour.) Both are masters of disguise ­– but...

As of today we are officially SOLD OUT for the last two weeks until we close. Thanks to everyone who booked in!

There was a little something extra in the vault last night...

This golden R'lyeh disc is one of TYPE 40's amazing creations, and we hid it in the game for his Call of Cthulhu roleplaying group's heist! We'd have kept it if we could... check out his page to see the other incredible things he makes.
