About Crooked

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, bribe the ref, or break a finger to bend the odds. 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. Push too far and you're caught — fined, warned, or thrown out

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.
