The classic Breaking the Bank is the very first game in the Henry Stickmin series. It is an interactive ‘choose your own adventure’ game famous for its humor and creative fail sequences. Your goal is simply to find a way to break into a heavily guarded bank.
Playing Breaking the Bank is all about making choices. You are presented with a scenario (Henry standing outside the bank) and a list of options, such as ‘Shovel’, ‘Explosive’, ‘Laser’, or ‘Disguise’. You click on the option you want to try. The game then plays an animation showing the result of your choice, which almost always ends in a hilarious fail. The challenge is finding the one correct path (or just enjoying all the fails).
The main tip is to try every single option. The joy of this game is not in winning, but in discovering all the unique and funny ways to fail. Do not overthink the logic; the solution is often absurd. Pay attention to the references in the fail animations. This game is pure trial and error, unlike the skill-based puzzles of Infinity Loop.
The controls for Breaking the Bank unblocked are as simple as it gets, as it is a point-and-click game.
Breaking the Bank is the first episode of the Henry Stickmin series. It is very short. It was followed by ‘Escaping the Prison’, ‘Stealing the Diamond’, and others, which are much longer.
Spoiler: You cannot actually ‘win’ Breaking the Bank in the traditional sense of robbing it. Every choice leads to a fail. The ‘win’ is considered finding the one choice that does not end in failure, but rather a comical escape. The real goal is to see all the fails.
