FAQ

Questions, answered.

What people ask first about the game, in four groups. Pick a tab, open a question.

What is My Criminal Life?

A free crime game that plays in your browser. You start as a nobody with $100: pull crimes, train at the gym, take a job, buy somewhere better to live and climb a ladder of 16 ranks, from Nobody to Untouchable. Other players share the same city, so you will run into them. There is nothing to download.

The About page has the tour.

Is it free?

Yes. Every part of the game is open to players who never spend anything. Optional packs exist, and nothing you buy puts you above the Rules: paying players get jailed and banned like anyone else.

The Store is closed right now while payments move to a new provider. You won’t be charged while it is closed. More under Money.

How do I sign up?

Sign up with your email and a password on the sign-up page. We email you a link: open it to confirm the address and you are in. You start at level 1 with $100.

Who can play?

You need to be 18 or older. The sign-up form asks you to confirm that and to agree to the Terms, the Game Rules and the Privacy Policy. It is one account per person.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The pages fit a phone screen, and it works in a current browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer. There is no app to install.

How much time does it take?

As much or as little as you like. Energy, brave, will and health refill on a timer, including while you are logged out, so a ten-minute visit is a real session. Energy comes back 4 points every five minutes, up to your maximum.

Still stuck?

Write to the game owner through the contact form. If you can sign in, Support in the game menu is the first stop for a problem with a player or a fight.
