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.

Simple yet addictive, fun game to play. Nice diversity of character and enemy player traits. It does well at what it tries to accomplish, also great soundtrack.
