Steal a Brainrot: how to play and win

Steal a Brainrot turns meme creatures into an economy: buy them, let them earn, and steal better ones from your neighbours before they steal yours.

By Mobile Games Guide EditorialUpdated

The loop

Brainrots walk along a conveyor in the middle of the map. You buy one with cash, carry it to your base and place it on a slot, where it earns cash per second. Better brainrots earn more. With enough cash you buy rarer ones, or you steal them from other players' bases while their lock is down.

Rarity tiers

TierIncomeNotes
Common and RareLowYour first slots. Cheap, nobody steals them.
Epic and LegendaryMediumWorth protecting. The first targets of thieves.
Mythic and aboveHighRare on the conveyor, huge income, everyone wants them.
SecretVery highExtremely rare. Often traded or duped claims; be skeptical.

Early strategy

  1. Fill every slot with anything. Even commons earn. Empty slots earn nothing.
  2. Upgrade slowly. Replace your weakest brainrot with the best you can afford.
  3. Lock your base when you leave it. The lock has a cooldown, so time your trips to the conveyor.
  4. Steal from AFK players. Bases with the lock down and nobody home are free income.
  5. Rebirth when the game offers it. Rebirths unlock more slots and multipliers.

Defense

  • Stay near your base when carrying something valuable to it.
  • Use the lock before going to the conveyor and come back before it expires.
  • Keep the rarest brainrots in the inner slots; thieves grab what is closest.
  • Team up with a friend in the same server to guard each other.

Codes

The developers post codes for cash and boosts on the game page and their social accounts when the game hits milestones. They expire fast. Read our guide to finding Roblox codes for where to look and how to redeem.
