Museum Heist: a personalized comic book gift

They plan vacations with color-coded spreadsheets and can talk their way into a fully booked restaurant. Clearly, they were born for a heist. This story puts them at the head of a crew breaking into a grand museum, face on every page: dangling from a skylight, dodging laser beams with suspicious flexibility and swapping a priceless painting for a forgery. Mention the crew in your answers (the hacker, the muscle, the one who only came for the gift shop) and let the caper begin.

Questions about this comic

Can I add the whole heist crew?

Yes. Mention partners, siblings, coworkers or even the dog in your answers and they can join the story as the hacker, the getaway driver or the lookout. Suggest roles in the "anything special" field, and the three heist ideas we write are built around your crew.

Can the museum be a real one?

You can name a real city or favorite place in the hero questions, and the story can be set around it. The comic shows an illustrated version, though, and real logos, brands and trademarks stay out, so expect a grand museum inspired by your choice rather than an exact replica.
