How to play Hall of the Art Thieves on Mac

Game summary

Hall of the Art Thieves is a unique interactive game that educates players on various aspects of art and art history. Once filled with masterful works of art, such as Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Edvard Munch’s The Scream, and Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, the Château du Voleur – which translates to Thief’s Castle – lost all paintings and sculptures due to a band of thieves that broke in during a torrential storm. That fateful night was August 9, 1793. Over 200 years later, all the stolen works of art have since been found by authorities and returned to their current museums and galleries. The once-noble and grand château held the group of thieves within its dungeon. Now, the castle has been abandoned as the spirits of those thieves roam the halls. Your task is to enter the château, build up your bank account, and collect all the works of art that originally adorned the castle walls for a special art exhibition. Learn about all the artworks and artists in order to become the ultimate Art Historian.
