The important thing is to steal *before* you're stolen from.
...Hopefully it's obvious but you aren't stealing real money. Everyone starts with $1000 and then it's up to you to steal the rest.
PKPKT does the hard work of finding other players by detecting them using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in the background. You do not need a data connection. It's completely off the grid.
The point of the game is to collect the most money (duh), but once the initial theft occurs, you can chat with your opponent by sending messages over bluetooth. These messages are completely private as they are not stored on any server.
"PKPKT is one of the first games to really take advantage of [Bluetooth Low Energy] technology in a natural way." - The Verge
"This game turns Bluetooth into a high-stakes stealing match." - GigaOm

Good times

Great execution of a fun, subversive idea. Looking forward to every subway ride now and the chance to make money without having to breakdance
Awesome app

Amazing app that is used between all my colleagues to keep us entertained during work hours and especially meetings. It is an awesome app I discovered thanks to flipboard
Best game ever

Such a cool game to play while in school or at the store. I found out about this thanks to an app called app geek. :D
Cool idea

This is a cool idea but needs more ways to steal. I've never seen anyone to be able to steal from. Can't play if no one around me has the app.
