Nest Heist

Mission briefing

Nest Heist is a free online multiplayer game where up to eight participants share an island and every nest is a target. Grab eggs from the conveyor, hatch them and raise your creatures: feed them, pet them and watch them grow from babies into adults worth a fortune. Sell them to the buyers who knock on your door, build your nest up to eight floors and decorate your yard. But keep an eye on your rivals: anyone can sneak into your nest and run off with your best creature. Buy shields, ring the bell, chase the thief and bonk them before they get home… or go steal theirs first. - 92 creatures to collect, from fluffy chicks to cosmic dragons, with golden, diamond and rainbow variants - Up to 8 participants per island: play publicly or invite friends with a room link; private rooms only contain connected friends - Two worlds: the green island and the desert of Las Dunas, with sandstorms, caravans and hidden treasure chests - Fill your bestiary, climb the weekly leagues and find the secrets hidden on each island - Your farm is saved automatically and keeps earning while you are away as long as food remains - Plays on desktop and mobile, in 8 languages

Field manual

Goal: raise your creatures, complete each world’s grand zoo order, discover species and gain enough fame to rebirth and unlock the next stage. 1. Walk to the conveyor in the middle of the island and buy an egg. 2. Carry it into your nest. It is placed automatically and hatches after its timer. 3. Collect food from a patch and walk back to your granary to deliver it. Pet your creatures to help them grow; their preferred food makes them happy. 4. Sell creatures to the buyers who visit your farm and use the coins to build more floors. Adults are worth more. 5. Steal from other nests and defend your own. Your companion cannot be sold or stolen. Private rooms contain only the friends who connect; they are not filled with bots. Desktop - WASD or arrow keys: move - Mouse drag or Q / E: turn the camera - Space: jump - F or the action button: perform the action shown on screen - R: pet · G: bonk · X: quick sale - C: switch camera · B: bestiary · T: board Mobile (landscape) - Left thumb: joystick to move - Drag the screen: turn the camera - Use the contextual buttons on the right for actions, jumping, petting and bonking. Your farm saves automatically. Invite friends from the game’s Invite menu and send them that room link or code. A room closes after the last player leaves and the reconnection window ends.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for multiplayer operations

• The first match against strangers is tuition. You are not there to win it; you are there to learn the map, the pacing and what the regulars do that the tutorial never mentioned.
• Ping and position beat raw aim. A stable connection and a sensible place to stand will win you more rounds than any sensitivity setting ever published.
• Rematch the player who beat you cleanly. Queues are random, but lessons are not — the opponent who outplayed you is a free coach for exactly the skill you are missing.

Nest Heist — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Nest Heist?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Nest Heist?

Nest Heist is filed in our Multiplayer theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Nest Heist on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Nest Heist is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
