Breaking the Bank

Breaking the Bank is the first installment of the iconic Henry Stickmin series—a point-and-click adventure game that blends comedy, cartoon stickman antics, and interactive storytelling. In this game, you play as Henry Stickmin, a not-so-bright thief who’s determined to rob a bank in the middle of a desert with nothing but a selection of absurd tools and options.

BREAKING THE BANK: HENRY'S FIRST BIG MISTAKE

Breaking the Bank introduces Henry Stickmin as he tries to rob a remote desert bank using clever—or not so clever—tactics. You choose one method, and nearly all lead to epic failure. This comedic intro sets the tone for the saga ahead. Your job? Pick a method—from explosive drills to tunnelling—and see whether Henry succeeds or ends up hilariously failing. Spoiler: most of the time, it’s the latter!

Choose Your Heist Method

Each attempt to break into the bank presents a unique tool or action. Your options include:

  • Dig a tunnel under the vault
  • Use explosives for a big blast
  • Arm a laser drill to slice the wall
  • Swing a wrecking ball on a crane
  • Activate a teleporter to bypass security
  • Dress up in a disguise bag to be carried in

Every choice leads to a short animated outcome. Whether it's success, epic failure, or unexpected comedy, the fun lies in watching Henry's misadventures unfold.
