How to play Time Heist on Mac

Game summary

You and your friends are part of teams of time travelers. Two teams compete with each other to reach their ultimate goal: the PARADOX THIEVES, who want to steal history's most precious treasures, and the GUARDIANS OF TIME, who want to restore time and prevent its collapse. To play, both teams must choose players to be their respective captains; only the captains are allowed to look at the screen during the game. For each mission, the captains must look the century and category of the desired goal and tell the other players, who will try to guess what it is and win the goal for them. The captains must alternate giving clues about the object to their respective teams, but, after a clue is given, only the oposite team is allowed to guess. Each team may discuss and is allowed one guess per turn. The team who wins the goal is on step closer to conquering time. There are three types of game modes: Fast, Regular and Legend. In Fast mode, players compete for the best out of three missions, in Regular, for the best out of five of missions, and in Legend for the best out of seven missions.

Play Time Heist on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Time Heist on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Time Heist installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Time Heist like you would on any PC.
