About the Game

Welcome to the back rooms. Five venues, one rigged game and the only rule that matters: don't get caught.

CROOKED is a noir roguelite built on the world's simplest game rock-paper-scissors and its oldest strategy: cheating. Read your opponent's tell, palm a marked card or bribe the ref. Just keep one eye on the suspicion meter every dirty trick draws heat and the house doesn't forgive.

Cheat to win

  • 20+ cheats peek at throws, distract the ref, swap your gesture, throw the illegal fourth gesture

  • Every cheat raises suspicion. Get caught and you’ll lose health one failed cheat can end your run.

Read the room

  • Every hustler has a personality, a pattern and a tell learn them or lose

  • Five venues of escalating opponents, each boss with its own dirty trick

Bet on everything

  • Wager on every match in the room read the table, beat the bookie

  • Roguelite runs, permanent unlocks and a cast of hustlers to unlock and play

Win clean. Or win.

Matches resolve in seconds. The choices last all night.
