About Sneaky Stealy
Sneaky Stealy is a co-op stealth game about two friends who rob buildings for a living. One of you keeps the guards looking the wrong way while the other cracks the safe or hacks into a computer, and one slip can end the whole criminal career on the spot.
It's built for two people on one keyboard, but it works solo too: you control both burglars and swap between them with Z. Every building is generated fresh, so each break-in happens somewhere new. Your current career saves as you go, which means you can quit and pick it up later, and your best score stays on record between careers.
It's non-violent from start to finish. Everything comes down to timing, distraction and staying out of sight, drawn in chunky PICO-8 pixel art. You can play Sneaky Stealy online here, and a gamepad works too.
How to Play Sneaky Stealy
- Start a new career from the title screen.
- Player one moves with the arrow keys. Player two moves with ESDF, not WASD.
- Solo players press Z to switch between the two burglars.
- Draw a guard's attention with one burglar so the other can work on the safe or a computer.
- Keep your sound on. Cracking the safe depends on what you hear.
- Take what you came for without getting caught.
What to Expect in Sneaky Stealy
Expect short, tense heists where teamwork matters more than speed. One person plays decoy while the other does the delicate work. As a stealth game it's at its best with a friend sitting next to you, talking through every move in a whisper.
Because the buildings change every time and your career saves between sessions, Sneaky Stealy free in a browser tab is easy to pick up for a few minutes. The high score carries across careers, so a bad run costs you that career but not your record.
Tips for Sneaky Stealy
- Turn the sound on before you start. You cannot crack the safe without hearing it.
- Player two's keys are ESDF, not WASD, so check hand placement before the first break-in.
- With two players on the keyboard, leave Z alone, since it switches which burglar is under control.
- Agree on roles before you go in: one distracts, one steals.
- Do not get greedy. A single mistake can end the career, so leave when the job is done.

FAQ
Is Sneaky Stealy free?
Yes. Sneaky Stealy is free to play in your browser with no download and no account. Start a new career from the title screen and you're breaking in within moments. It works for one player or two, and your current career saves so you can come back to it later.
How do you play Sneaky Stealy?
Two burglars break into a building together. Player one moves with the arrow keys and player two with ESDF. One keeps the guards looking elsewhere while the other cracks the safe or hacks a computer. Solo players switch between the two burglars with Z.
Is Sneaky Stealy a two-player game?
Yes, it's made for two players sharing one keyboard: arrow keys for player one, ESDF for player two. A gamepad works as well. You can also play alone by swapping between the burglars with Z, which two players should avoid pressing during a co-op run.
Does Sneaky Stealy save your progress?
Yes. Sneaky Stealy saves your ongoing career automatically, so you can stop and come back later. Your high score is kept between careers too. Saves are stored by your browser, so clearing its site data or switching to a different browser will start you fresh.
Who made Sneaky Stealy?
Sneaky Stealy was made by Ironchest Games in PICO-8 and released on itch.io, with gamepad support built in. FunClicker did not make the game. We embed the creator's own browser version, and the original is linked in the Who Made section.
Can I play Sneaky Stealy on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works, since Sneaky Stealy runs in the browser and plays on the keyboard, and two people can share it. Phones are a poor fit: the game needs keys or a gamepad, and two-player play needs a full keyboard with room for both of you.
Is Sneaky Stealy unblocked at school?
It needs only a browser tab, with nothing to install. Whether it opens on a school network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads, bring headphones, because cracking the safe depends on sound and you need to hear it clearly.
How do you crack the safe in Sneaky Stealy?
Safe cracking depends on sound, so the game needs audio turned on. Unmute your device and the browser tab before you start. With the sound off you cannot open the safe, so check your volume before the first break-in and keep the guards busy while you listen.
