About Folio Paper Heist
A quiet city has hidden its most valuable seals behind streets that fold like paper. Slip past the patrols, reshape each route, and launch your boat from the dock with the seal aboard.
Steal a wax seal and fold a paper city to escape. Solve 24 handcrafted heists across four districts, outmaneuvering patrols and timed gates.
How to play Folio Paper Heist
Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Tap a connected floor tile to walk there, or drag from your courier to a floor tile. Tap a visible round hinge handle or press 1, 2 or 3 to fold or unfold a panel. Drag a handle to preview its landing and release to commit the fold. A fold moves the whole 3x3 island and every actor on it to an empty landing pad. You cannot walk through water or walls, and automatic movement follows only current connections. Patrols walk visible lanes and can spot you ahead on connected cells; a guard raises its lantern for 0.7 seconds before pursuing you, or 0.5 seconds in hard mode. If it catches you, use Restart Heist to retry the same map. Folding can break a pursuit by disconnecting the map. Steal the main wax seal, return to the dock, and unfold every hinged panel to launch the boat. Optional bonus seals, avoiding alarms and meeting the fold goal can earn stars and improve your record. Each fold or unfold counts as an action. Patrols pause during the 0.68-second fold animation. Clear a heist to unlock the next one; after a short pause it starts automatically. Campaign progress saves after every clear, and you can select any unlocked starting heist for a fresh score. Daily runs give everyone the same authored heist for that date and ask you to clear it once. Clear the first six heists to unlock hard mode, where patrols move faster.

Features
24 authored heists
Four districts hold six handcrafted maps apiece. Clear each heist to open the next, with a new route problem in every district.
Fold the whole city panel
Preview a hinge's landing before committing. A fold moves the full 3x3 island and every actor on it, changing the floor connections.
Four district rules
Canals introduce folding bridges, the rooftops allow two live folds, the archive adds keyed hinges, and the clocktower brings timed gates.
Patrols you can outmaneuver
Guards follow visible lanes and detect you along connected cells. A fold can disconnect the map and interrupt a pursuit.
Optional goals and records
Every clear earns one star. Find the bonus seal for another, and avoid alarms while staying within one fold of par for the clean escape star. Your best results are recorded for each heist.
Campaign, daily and hard runs
Campaign progress saves after every clear, and unlocked heists can be selected as fresh-score starts. Daily runs share one date-selected heist; clearing the first district unlocks faster patrols in hard mode.
Tips
- Before folding, check the highlighted landing pad and the new floor connections it creates.
- Plan a route back to the dock before taking the main seal; you must unfold every panel to launch the boat.
- Stand on a folded bridge and unfold it to ride toward a distant roof, then fold it again to ride back.
- Use walls and disconnected routes to break a patrol's pursuit, then move toward the seal or dock.
- In the archive, collect the key and unfold its island to free a fold slot before joining the two bridges.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fold a panel?
Tap its visible round hinge handle or press 1, 2 or 3. You can drag the handle to preview a destination and release to fold.
What moves when I fold?
The complete 3x3 island moves to an empty landing pad, along with every actor on it. Floor connections update with the fold.
How do I escape?
Take the main wax seal, return to the dock, and unfold every hinged panel. The boat launches and clears the heist.
Can I walk across water or a future bridge?
No. You can walk on floor and follow only connections that are open on the current map. Folding may create a new connection.
What happens if a guard catches me?
Use Restart Heist to retry the same map. A guard raises its lantern before pursuing you; folding can disconnect its route and break the pursuit.
What does hard mode change?
After you clear the first six heists, hard mode unlocks and patrols move faster.
