"Teardown" is a fun game. Everything is made of voxels and can be destroyed. Structures collapse when there's nothing supporting them. Some buildings can be also set on fire and you can see it slowly consume it completely. One mission involved stealing three items from a factory; you have to plan and prepare your route carefully to make it to your getaway car before security arrives.

However, I wish the structural integrity of buildings were modelled in an even more realistic manner: a building will stay upright if even one column of bricks in a corner is supporting it. The modelling of flotation also leaves something to be desired: if you smash enough of a ship's superstructure, it will sink. At least the ship lists to the direction of the damage.

Dear creatures, today our lovely event will come to an end. One last time we would like to ask your help.
After closing there will spawn people in highviz vests on every large area. If you have some minutes left, just ask them if you can help tear down something. In our case mostly chairs and tables, but other teams also need help.
Help us having a good time and always remember: safety first.
