Overview

The world of Critter Heist

Ten years ago, a shower of glittering Puffstones fell into the purple crater at the heart of Nooktown. Every Puffstone that cracks open releases a critter: a small, ridiculous creature that drops golden Crumbs when it’s happy. Dr. Nibs Quartermoon built the Puffport machine to share them out fairly. Fairly lasted about a week.

Buy critters from the conveyors, show them off behind your den’s glass walls and watch the Crumbs roll in. Then get sneaky: slip into a rival den, grab a critter and race it back to your Drop Pad while the owners chase you with squeaky Boing Mallets. Lock your door, set up Laser Gates and Slime Puddles, and bop anyone who tries the same on you.

It’s a cartoon caper where nobody gets hurt — a dropped critter just toddles back home. New players get a 20-minute shield, and big dens can’t pick on much smaller ones. Every half hour a Meteor Shower crashes into the crater, and the Secret Starfall Puff only arrives inside a meteor crate.

How to play

Your first five minutes

Claim your den

You get your own treehouse den in Nooktown and a free Pebblepup. Dr. Nibs shows you the ropes with a practice heist at the Training Den.

Buy critters

Grab critters from your Den Conveyor, or race everyone else to the Grand Conveyor in the crater. Every critter earns Crumbs each second, and rarer ones earn far more.

Pull off a heist

Walk into an unlocked rival den, hold to grab a critter and carry it to your own Drop Pad within 90 seconds. You’re slower while carrying, so plan your escape.

Defend your den

Hit your Den Lock, set up Alarm Gnomes, Laser Gates, Slime Puddles and Bonk Pads, and bop thieves twice with your Boing Mallet to make them drop the loot.

Fill the Critterdex

Discover all 24 critters in their normal, Shiny, Golden and Cosmic forms to earn a permanent Crumbs bonus.

FAQ

Good questions

Can I play solo?

Yes. You can collect, defend and raid on your own, and crews of up to four friends can share one den and pool their Crumbs.

Can people steal my critters?

They can try! New players get a 20-minute shield, bigger dens can’t raid much smaller ones, and robbed dens get a short breather. Critters under your Vault dome can’t be stolen at all.

Is it free?

Yes. It’s free to play on Roblox. Optional purchases include cosmetics and luck boosts, and the odds are always shown before you buy.

Does it work on phone or console?

It’s built for every device, with a big MALLET button and tap prompts on touch and full controller support. We’re finishing tests on real phones and consoles before launch.
