Nest Raiders

Collect eggs, hatch an income crew and raid a rival’s nest. An up-to-four-minute woodland race against a computer or a friend online.

Rules and how to play

Tap a destination or use WASD and arrows. Interact beside eggs to collect them, then return home and bank them to hatch income-earning pets. Carrying slows you down. Raid unshielded rival nests and escape empty-handed opponents who can tag you and drop your loot. Dash, protect your nest with a shield, and buy speed or nest upgrades with free match coins. First to 160 points wins; after four minutes the higher score wins, with equal scores drawing. Play a clearly labeled computer at three levels or a private synchronized two-human room. Solo pauses offscreen; online time continues. Coins have no cash value.

History and origins

Nest Raiders is Tailorgame’s original interpretation of the collect, bank and raid loop, with Steal An Egg as its stated inspiration. It replaces borrowed characters with its own nests and sculpted wildlife. Carrying eggs creates risk before banking them, while raids interrupt an opponent’s economy. Solo computer opponents and private synchronized rooms develop that shared loop into separate ways to play.

Full playing guide

All game rules

Collect eggs, build a thriving nest and outmaneuver your rival in a compact forest arena.

Collect

Move beside an egg and Interact. Carry one egg at a time; carrying makes you slower.

Hatch

Return to your nest and Interact to bank points. Hatched pets add points and coins every five seconds.

First to 160 points wins. After four minutes, the higher score wins; equal scores draw. Leaf / Bloom / Star eggs are worth 12 / 18 / 28 points and earn 1 / 2 / 3 every five seconds after hatching.

Raid

Visit an unshielded rival nest and Interact to steal a hatched pet. Get home before the rival tags you.

An empty-handed raider tags an opposing carrier on contact: the egg drops and the carrier is briefly stunned. Dash helps you escape. Shield protects your nest for six seconds and costs six coins.

Upgrade at home: faster feet cost 16 then 28 coins; bigger nests cost 18 then 30. Each nest upgrade adds two spaces. Both upgrades have two levels. Eggs hatch in 4 / 6 / 8 seconds.

Controls and private play

Click or tap an open tile to travel. Use WASD or arrow keys when the arena is focused; the direction buttons work on touch screens. Interact collects, banks or raids nearby loot. Dash and Shield have visible cooldowns. Tab and Enter/Space activate controls. The physical arena stays left-to-right in every language.

Create a private room, share its invitation and wait for the second signed-in player before starting. Reopen the same invitation to reconnect. The host can rematch after a result; either player can concede. Solo progress lasts for this visit and pauses when hidden. Online time continues; a long period with nobody observing stops stale travel and awards no offline income.

This is an original collection-and-raid game with original woodland artwork. Coins are free match resources, never money or purchased credits.

About the inspiration

Nest Raiders takes inspiration from Steal An Egg’s collection, hatching, income and physical raids. It is an independent original game with its own characters, artwork and rules. Its two-player matches lasting up to four minutes, mirrored arenas and score target replace the reference’s persistent seven-player tycoon progression. It is not affiliated with Roblox or the reference game’s creators.
