Skills and Ideas Taught: Communication between team members is important. How to rapidly adjust and communicate through unanticipated problems. How to value and rely on people with different responsibilities. How to trust others who may have information you don’t.

Goal or Challenge: Work together to allow the Thief player to reach the end of each level without detection or tripping the security system.

Primary Audience:  Groups of people with non-hardcore gaming friends that they’d like to introduce to gaming.

Assessment Approach: Success through each level, with increasing difficulty in challenges and communication requirements as the game goes on.

Description: Cyber Heist is an intense, two-player co-op experience unlike any other. Team up with a friend to take on the futuristic Department of Education as either an eye-in-the-sky Hacker or a stealthy, cautious Thief. Work together with your partner to plan your route through each level, trap mechanical drones, disable alarms, and gather passwords. Most importantly, do your best to improvise as unforeseen obstacles prevent you from making your way further into the Department of Education vault to eliminate all student debt forever!
