Steps

1
Log on to the game at the Coolmath site: http://www.coolmath-games.com/0-bob-the-robber

Start with the tutorial. Officially, the game has 5 levels. However, in the first level you are robbing a barn, and it helps you along every step.
- Control Bob with the arrow keys or WSAD, and scan through crates and items with up arrow or W. Your down arrow key or S key doesn't do anything, though. Just follow the letters, grab the money, and get out safely.

Go to level 2. You'll have to dodge security cameras, and policeman to sneak past. Just stay in the shadows to hide from the cameras, and whack the cops with your baton (space bar).
- Tackle each step logically. Many of the levels are a puzzle, and it's good to think, "Where is the game leading me?"
4
Tackle small goals one at a time. Think how to bypass the next barrier, whether it's hiding in the shadows, or finding a password for the doorway. Make small goals for each level, and make sure to not set off the alarm!
5
Don't worry about money. You can always replay levels; the main point is to beat level 5, not get all the money/best score each level. If you beat a level, you can go back and try to get as much money as you can.
6
Don't worry much about being caught. There is no penalty; you will just have to restart the current level. In some ways, being caught will allow you to refresh your mind, and a quick run-through of a level will tell you the layout and the traps that lie ahead.

Question

What is the lock code?

The code changes every time you play the game. A somewhat complete list of possible codes is available on this guide in the Tips section.
Question

How do I get past level one?

Community Answer

Just follow the on-screen tutorial, and it should walk you through the level.
Question

Where's the code for level 6?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

There is no level 6 in the original Bob the Robber. You might be thinking of the new game, Bob The Robber to Go.

Warnings

The door codes change. If you quickly run through a level, find a piece of paper reading: "Code: 0360", and get busted, the paper will not be the same when you return. Codes change every time you play or restart a level. It is possible to get through a door by guessing the right code without checking the paper, but this takes much longer.
