How a chapter plays
You earn points by finishing jobs and causing mayhem, and your score multiplier raises every payout. Jobs reach you three ways: red phoneboxes you answer by walking onto them, walkie-talkie calls that arrive once you have worked through the phoneboxes, and parked cars that start a job when you get in. A pager message or telegram tells you where those cars are. Read points and multipliers before you start spending lives.
When your score reaches the chapter’s target, a closing call tells you where to meet your boss. Each chapter also hides seven Kill Frenzies, which the stats screen counts as secrets found. There is no prize for finding them all. See the London 1969 Kill Frenzies and the London 1961 Kill Frenzies.
Where to start
Begin with Boys Will Be Thieves, then follow the walkthrough through every mission in order. If you want the 1961 story, read London 1961 for what you need and how it differs. The characters page tells you who is who.
