Attic
Despite the title not explicitly stating "Smith Heist Part 1", it's implied since "Smith's Birthday Party" serves as the first part of the heist. In this section, you'll find yourself in Smith's attic. The challenge here is that you can't transport the box; while RJ and Verne can navigate the attic easily, the box is too heavy for them. As you move forward, you'll encounter rats and rabbits. You can choose to either defeat them or evade them. Progressing through the attic leads to the loot zone, where you should pick up the laptop. Walk a short distance and place the laptop into the designated loot area, which will trigger an audible ring. After that, flip a switch to open up doors in the attic. Then, take the black box, navigate through a tunnel, and place it onto a platform. Use the stacked boxes to exit the attic, and you'll then find yourself in the yard, marking the end of the attic segment.

Yard
The yard introduces a new adversary: a swift hamster that shoots balls as its primary attack. The most efficient way to handle the threat is by targeting the enemies' base, which will prevent further hamsters from appearing. After dealing with the hamsters, a section of the fence breaks, revealing rats emerging from the playground. Engage these foes; while they might appear intimidating, they're quite manageable, especially at earlier game levels.

In the playground, there's an optional fun segment. Allow your computer player to stay on the ground level, and you can hop onto the balance beam. There are hovering stoves in this area which, despite their low altitude, can pose a threat. These stoves drop flaming plates, making it challenging for the computer player to dodge lasers. After enjoying this segment, navigate past the lasers and proceed to the stairs. You'll notice a cage, but don't fret—no rats emerge from it in this section. Approach the door, press the right button, and you'll finish this level.
