- Click on the "Rob" button and use Stamina to rob the House
You can take a chance and either Rob the House blind or Peek inside to make sure there are no alarms. A house can have up to two alarms and a Block may have multiple houses with Alarms.
Triggering three alarms will end your robbing spree, and cause you to lose your haul.
If you're satisfied with your haul, and you don’t want to risk losing it by triggering alarms, click on the "Grab Haul" button. Your game will end, and you'll ensure that your haul is safe.

You will not receive parts any further till Midnight (Pacific Time) of the same day (as the daily limit timer resets at Midnight Pacific Time).

A: There will be 25 houses available in a block to rob. Please note that your Stamina will be consumed when you perform robbing.
Q: Which items can I receive by robbing?

Knob Wrenches: Use this to Peek, start a new game, or enter a new block.
Half Skill Points: Find the other half before you click on "Grab Haul" to get 1 full Skill Point. Please note that you need to collect the other half part of skill point from the same Block. Once you click on “Grab Haul”, all the items from that particular Block will be collected and you will start all over again.

Q: How do I use the Peek option?
A: The Peek option allows you to see what lies inside a house. Use it to detect alarms inside the house and evade them. Using “Peek” costs you 3 Knob Wrenches
If you happen to detect an Alarm, do not click on Rob. Doing so will activate the alarm.
If you discover an Alarm after using the Peek option, proceed to the next house without clicking on Rob.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of blocks I can Rob or the number of times I can use Peek?
A: There is no limit on the number of blocks you can Rob or number of times you can use the Peek option, as long as you have enough parts (Knob Wrenches) in your account.
Q: Will I receive the loot as soon as I Rob?
A: No, the items will not be credited to your inventory unless you collect the loot using “Grab Haul” button for every Block. Please remember that activating 3 Alarms in a Block will end the game and you will not be able to collect from that particular Block.
Q: How is the item mastery calculated? Will I get one of each Mastery item when I grab my haul?
A: If you are able to Rob an item more than once in the same Block, the mastery stats of that item will increase.
You’ll only receive one item with the maximum mastery level achieved:
For example: If you are able to Rob 5 Lights Out on the same block, you will receive the Emerald Level Lights Outand rest all Lights Out items (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby) will be greyed out as shown below:
After you click on Grab Haul, the item(s) will be added to your inventory and a confirmation message will be displayed:
