A Heist With Markiplier.: In this article, we’re going to learn about Markiplier’s first YouTube premium web television special, entitled A Heist With Markiplier.
Mark Fischbach aka Markiplier has been uploading videos to his YouTube channel since 2012 and has cultivated a following of over 24 million subscribers.
He released his first YouTube original, A Heist With Markiplier in October 2019.
… that’s just the bare bones.
Let’s dig some more to see the contents of A Heist With Markiplier.
Locked and Loaded? Let’s get started…
A Heist With Markiplier was Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach’s first YouTube Premium web television special.
The Heist was aired publicly on October 30, 2019, and premiered for free on his YouTube channel.
This interactive film was produced by Mark Fischbach and Rooster Teeth.
It features a fantastical story of Markiplier breaking into a museum to steal an ancient box with secret contents.
The audience sees everything through the perspective of his assistant (who has no name).
Like Markiplier’s previous video, A Date With Markiplier, ‘A Heist’ uses YouTube’s suggested video feature to simulate a “select your own adventure” story, where the audience is able to decide the path of the story.
Which will you pick?
Guns blazing? or;
All sneaky like?
Choose your path wisely!
There is a sum of 31 possible endings. The happenings and style of the story radically change from one conclusion to another.
The contents of the box, (as well as the personalities of certain characters) also change between one ending and another, similar to the style of Henry Stickmin games.
I highly recommend playing through “A Heist with Markiplier” first before reading all the endings here.
List Entry #1
Ending 1: “Clever Girl” where we die through a boulder.
List Entry #2
Ending 2: “Monkey See, Monkey Kill”, where we are possessed by a cursed monkey artifact causing us to attack the Explorer Mark.

List Entry #6
Ending 6: “The End”, where the scientist destroys the artifact ruining the timelines and we go back to before the robbery with Mark having no memory or any intention of even doing the robbery. Again, also featuring Rosanna Pansino.
I’ll choose this kind of ending!

List Entry #17
Ending 17 “It Was ME the Whole Time” we (and Mark) are standing up to Bob who has betrayed us in the middle of our prison escape, and we shoot Bob, who turns out to be Wade, and then the real Bob shoots Mark, and we’re also apparently Wade.
Hmmm!
Still with me?
List Entry #18
Ending 18: “It Was MY Joke” we’re facing off Wade who has betrayed us in the middle of our prison escape. We shoot Wade, who turns out to be Bob, and then the real Wade shoots Mark, and we’re also apparently Bob.
