The Heist tag refers to a genre of games that revolve around planning and executing elaborate, high-stakes theft or robbery operations. In these games, players typically assume the role of a skilled criminal or a member of a heist crew and must navigate through various challenges to successfully pull off the heist.

Heist games often emphasize strategic thinking, stealth, and teamwork as players work together to overcome obstacles, outsmart security systems, and avoid detection by authorities. These games provide players with a sense of thrill and excitement as they meticulously plan their moves, coordinate actions with other crew members, and execute the heist itself.

Some defining features of heist games include:

• Planning Heists require careful planning and preparation. Players may need to gather intel about the target, study blueprints or layouts, recruit specialized team members with unique skills or abilities, choose equipment, determine entry points or escape routes, etc.
• Stealth Stealth is often a critical aspect in heist games. Infiltrating heavily guarded locations without getting caught requires staying hidden in shadows, avoiding security cameras or patrols while progressing towards objectives silently.
• Action & Strategy While stealth is important in most heists; there usually comes moments where things might go wrong escalating into intense action-packed sequences such as shootouts with rival gangs or law enforcement which adds an element of strategy on how to maintain control amidst chaos.
• Creative Problem Solving Heists offer opportunities for creative problem-solving as unexpected hurdles are bound to arise during the operation. Players must adapt and find alternative routes, use gadgets or tools in clever ways, solve puzzles to bypass security systems or overcome challenges on the fly.
