Steal An Egg: How to Create Private Servers on Mobile and PC

Roblox's egg-stealing hit has no private server button, so here are the three workarounds that get you an empty instance.

Steal An Egg is a race against other players, and that is the problem. Divine, eternal, and secret eggs get grabbed by anyone with a high enough speed stat, so the obvious fix is to play alone. Open the Servers tab on the Roblox experience page, though, and you get a flat refusal: “This experience does not support Private servers.” There is no gamepass to buy and no VIP link to share, unlike games such as Steal A Brainrot or Fisch. What you can do is turn a public server into a near-empty one.

Quick answer: Private servers are disabled in Steal An Egg. Instead, find a public instance holding one or two players, or use a VPN region swap to surface empty ones, then fill the free slots yourself.


The three ways to get an empty Steal An Egg server

Each instance caps out at seven players, so “private” in practice means getting that count down to you and, at most, one idle stranger. The approaches differ in effort and in which platform they work on.

VPN region swapPC, mobileRecommended list fills with near-empty servers

The first two get you into a quiet server. The third keeps it that way, because nothing stops a random player from dropping into a spare slot mid-run.


Method 1: Find a low-player server in the Roblox browser

Leave your current server and open the Steal An Egg experience page. Scroll to the Servers tab, past the “Servers My Friends Are In” row, to reach “Other Servers”.

Tick “Exclude Full Servers”, then set the Sort By filter. “Fewest Players” surfaces the emptiest instances fastest, but those listings are shared with everyone else doing the same thing and tend to fill within seconds. “Recommended For You” is slower to dig through and more likely to hold.
Press Load More repeatedly. Ten to twenty presses is normal before instances showing one or two players appear, since they sit at the very bottom of the list.
Check the avatar thumbnail before joining. A default-looking character is usually a new player or someone parked on a treadmill, while a heavily customised one is more likely to be running billions of speed and clearing every zone before you arrive.

If you only want to cut down competition rather than eliminate it, join a one-player server and pull your friends in through the party feature. The remaining strangers usually leave on their own, and the whole instance ends up yours.

Method 2: Use a VPN to surface near-empty servers

Roblox recommends servers based on where your connection appears to be coming from. Point that connection at a country where Roblox is banned or barely played and the recommendation list stops handing you busy instances.

Install a VPN with a usable free tier. Proton VPN works on both desktop and phones and is available from the Proton VPN download page or your device’s app store.
Connect to a low-traffic region. China and the Netherlands both do the job; a free Netherlands node such as NL-FREE#17 is enough.
Expect Roblox to drop your session when the connection switches. The Error Code: 277 disconnect message is normal here, not a sign the method failed.
Reopen the Servers tab on the Steal An Egg page. The “Recommended For You” list should now be full of instances reading 1 of 7 or 2 of 7. Join one.
Once you are loaded in and moving, turn the VPN off. You stay in the same instance and get your normal ping back, which matters when you are carrying a large egg to the safe zone before the timer runs out.

Method 3: Fill every slot with alt accounts on PC

Roblox normally allows one game client per machine. Closing a single handle lifts that restriction, letting you log alt accounts into the same server until there is no room left for anyone else.

Join a server holding one player using either method above. That instance is the one you are going to occupy.

Open Roblox in a browser, switch to an alt account, and launch the same server. Repeat until all seven slots are taken. Tile the windows so you can see each client.
Keep the alts from timing out. An auto-clicker such as OP Auto Clicker or TinyTask pointed at each window prevents Roblox’s idle disconnect from freeing up a slot.

If a random player is still in the server, the only in-game way to shift them is to hit and knock them back with a weapon until they leave. That is disruptive behaviour and can be reported, so server hopping to a genuinely empty instance is the safer play.


Filling slots on mobile with cloud phones

Phones cannot run multiple Roblox clients side by side, so the alt-account approach needs cloud Android instances instead. Services like UGPhone spin up several virtual devices, each of which installs Roblox and an auto-clicker from its own store and logs in a separate account. Point every instance at the same low-player server and the effect is identical to the desktop method, without touching your own device’s performance.

If that is more setup than you want, the VPN route is the practical mobile option. It needs nothing beyond a free VPN app and the standard server list.


How to confirm you have an effectively private server

Open the player list once you spawn in. A working setup shows either just your name, or your name plus alts, or one stranger who never moves from a treadmill. The clearer signal is on the courses themselves.

  • Eggs are still sitting in Forest, Lake, Desert, Snow, Volcano, Abyss Ocean, Prehistoric, Cosmic, Cherry Blossom, Titan Temple, and Demons when you arrive.
  • No one else triggers steal prompts while you are mid-run.
  • After the “All Egg Reset!” timer fires, the whole map is available to you rather than cleared within seconds.

One thing worth watching for: a player count of one does not always mean one harmless player. An account showing 10B speed in a two-player server will still beat you to every divine egg, and the low count is meaningless. Check what the other occupant is doing in the first few seconds, and hop again if they are active. Until the developers add a gamepass or switch on Roblox’s built-in private server system, hunting quiet instances is the whole strategy.
