Not In My House

One Thief. Four Residents. One very bad night.

Not In My House is an online 1v4 home-invasion party game. The Thief has a shrink gun, a drone and night vision. The family has traps, their feet and a phone hidden somewhere in the house. Every round ends one of three ways: the Thief banks $5,000, the Thief sucks every Resident into his gun, or the police arrive.

How a round goes

Scout. For 45 seconds the Thief flies a tiny drone through the house, spots loot and fires tracking darts at Residents. Residents can kick the drone away.
Lights out. The power dies. Residents get flashlights. The Thief gets night vision.
Rob or run. The Thief carries loot to his box while the Residents find the phone, call the police and hold out until they arrive.

Play the Thief

Shrink gun. Shrink a Resident, then get close and suck them into your gun. Catch the whole family and you win.
Steal big. Shrink the big loot too, so it fits in your pockets. Three jackpot items are worth a fortune.
Cut the call. Find the phone and hang up on the police before it's too late.
Tricks. Lock your loot box, see the Residents' traps, and disarm them by hand.

Play the Residents

Traps. Banana peels, mouse traps, Lego, a rope topple, a fart cushion and a rubber duck. Plant them where the Thief will run.
Kick him. A good kick knocks the Thief flat for a few seconds. When he gets up, back off: he sprays shrink.
Call the police. The phone is in a different room every round. Find it, call, and survive until they arrive.
Shrunk? Keep going. Tiny Residents squeeze through pet flaps in the doors, hide, and talk in a squeaky voice.
Hide. Walk-in wardrobes, cupboards with real doors, and CCTV cameras to watch the house.
