9 itemsAbout the Game
Countryballs: The Heist is a comedic stealth adventure with a dash of casual strategy. Climb from rookie thief to world-class burglar by pulling off absurd jobs for eccentric clients — all set in the wacky Countryball meme universe, spiced with satirical geopolitical humour, brought to you by PWA. Plan, sabotage, sneak, and outwit your way to dubious fame or become a creator of genius heists for the community yourself, using the built-in Heist Editor.
Create Your Very Own Countryball Master Thief
To sneak past guards, you’ll not only need to use your environment wisely and outsmart the guards in various ways… you’ll also create your own Countryball from ANY national flag (yes, including overseas territories and regions with limited recognition). Use costumes inspired by real-world traditional folk outfits and cultural items. Along the way, you’ll pick up memorable facts about the many countries that make up our diverse shared world.
In short: A surprisingly educational thieving game with Countryballs.
