Step by step
- Find a nest. Each district has four nest kinds: under a street lamp (restocks in 45 s), by a sleeping dog (75 s), in the boss den yard (150 s) and the egg vault (240 s, rare eggs only). The first lamp nest always holds a Speckled Egg.
- Lift it. Hold GRAB at the nest. Nests guarded by dogs or lights are worth more; the vault rings a bell when you lift.
- Walk home gently. Running adds jolt: every 2.6 s of carried running is a crack, rolls and hard landings add more, and 3 cracks break it. Walking or sneaking sheds jolt.
- Put it on a pedestal. The egg hatches after its timer. In the last 8 seconds it is locked and cannot be nabbed.
- Collect the buddy. The hatchling's rarity and mutation come from the egg's table. Cracks tilt the odds toward lower rarities; a pristine egg rolls mutations more often.

Buying eggs
The Egg Shop price follows your income, so eggs are never free late on. Your first egg is half price (50%). Shop eggs cost roughly 5 s, 12 s, 8 s of income and up to 600 s for the Velvet VIP egg, which unlocks after 2 rebirths or the hatch-50 goal.
Pity protection
Most shop eggs guarantee a good hatch if you are unlucky: for example the Speckled Egg gives an Epic or better on the 12th hatch in a row without one, and the Nebula egg guarantees a Secret by the 25th.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an egg take to hatch?
From 30 seconds for the Speckled Egg to 15 min for the Velvet VIP egg.
Which egg is best for secret buddies?
The Nebula Egg has the best secret odds you can buy (and a 2% Celestial chance), and the Aurora and Starlit eggs can hatch Secrets from nests.
Why did my egg break?
Running while carrying it, rolling or landing hard adds cracks. Three cracks break it. Walk or sneak home.
