Game Overview

Human houses become sprawling, hazardous playgrounds when viewed from a gnome’s height, and Burglin’ Gnomes turns that scale into the basis for a mischievous cooperative stealth adventure. You and a band of tiny thieves slip into homes, rummage through rooms, and make off with anything useful before the occupants or other dangers ruin the operation. The tone is whimsical and cartoonish, but the stakes carry real weight: gnomes are fragile, hunted, and never far from a disastrous escape. Success means satisfying the demanding High-Gnome while proving your crew can survive a world built for much larger creatures.

Each raid revolves around sneaking, scavenging, and completing objectives while keeping the group out of trouble. Teams of up to six players work together to bypass threats, move loot, use the environment to delay pursuers, and help allies when a plan falls apart. Stolen household junk is more than a score counter, since it supplies materials for crafting gear and improving the gnomes’ living space. That gives missions a practical progression loop, with every successful burglary potentially opening better tools, stronger defenses, or more useful furniture for future runs.

Burglin’ Gnomes stands out by combining co-op thievery with the perspective of small creatures trying to exploit an oversized human world. Rather than treating stealth as a lone-wolf exercise, it emphasizes communication, rescue attempts, shared problem-solving, and the chaos that naturally follows when several players try to rob a house at once. Its mix of scavenging and home-base upgrades gives it a light survival-game texture without losing the playful heist premise. Players who enjoy the teamwork of Lethal Company or the sneaky improvisation of Thief-style missions should find plenty to like, especially if they want a less grim and more eccentric multiplayer challenge.

Do I need to run the game as administrator?

The game won't launch — what should I try?

My antivirus is blocking the game — is it safe?

A warning needs to be investigated; the download source alone cannot confirm that a file is safe. Keep your security software enabled and review the detection details. Do not run or restore a flagged file unless you have verified that it is a false positive. If you are unsure, leave it quarantined.
