Could you build this?

No Developing a custom private game server requires extensive reverse engineering of proprietary binary network protocols, packet encryption, and game state mechanics.

What it would actually take: Building this requires reverse engineering the HayDay Android/iOS client binary (via IDA Pro or Ghidra) to extract packet encryption keys (e.g., sodium/Curve25519) and message schemas. A server implementation (often in C#, Java, or Go) must replicate the proprietary Supercell protocol, state machine, and database persistence. This demands specialized game reverse engineering, binary analysis, and protocol emulation skills.
