Steal an Egg guide: how the game works and what to do first

Nests in a zone hold eggs. A guardian sleeps beside them. You take an egg, run it back to your base, drop it in a pen, wait out the grow time, and the pet that hatches pays money every second. Money buys pens, treadmill upgrades and trails; treadmill training and hatch rewards raise your speed; speed opens the next zone, whose eggs pay more. Servers hold seven players, all of whom can walk into your base and take an egg out of your pen. That is the game, per the official description and the wiki's Eggs page.

The beginner guide covers the first hour: Forest hatch rewards, the Lake gate, why Leviathan matters. Best pets is a data ranking, zone by zone. Secret pets covers the Secret, Eternal and Divine tiers and how rare Roblox's badge numbers say they are. The Rift event page explains the timed Overlord fights, Boss Tokens, Boss Mastery and the three rotating banners. Speed is the progression stat, so the speed guide walks through every source of it and what the Robux boosts cost. Game passes and boosts covers the one documented pass and the multiplier table. Values explains what determines a pet's worth — and why this site publishes no value list.

If you read nothing else, these five sourced figures shape most decisions. Nests reset every five minutes (Eggs page). Zone gates run 900 → 10K → ~40K → ~170K → ~700K → ~2.5M → ~17–18M → 700M → 2.5B → 7B → 20B (Area and Angels & Demons pages). Rainbow is ×3.5 at 1/100, Golden ×2.5 at 4/100, Silver ×1.2 at 6/100 (Mutations page). Bear traps: three at a time, seven-second hold, none in the safe zone (Boosts page). And 0.8 % of players had hatched a Divine on 13 September 2026 (Roblox badge statistics).

Camping a nest for a colour: colour is cosmetic, per the Eggs page. Entering a zone the moment you hit the gate: the Area page warns that the return trip with a large egg needs more speed than the entry. Leaving a nine-hour egg in an untrapped pen on a full server: the pen is open to six other players for nine hours. Spending a Mutation Shard on a low-base pet: the 10 % chance is worth the same, the payoff is not. Looking for event eggs in a nest: limited eggs never spawn there. Believing a codes list: the wiki's Codes page says there are no codes and no redeem screen.

New guides are added when a question shows up in search data or in the game's community and the register has enough sourced material to answer it properly. Each guide carries a last-updated date that moves only when its content is actually re-checked. If you want a topic covered, the contact page is the place to ask.

A map from the questions players type to the page that answers them from sourced numbers.

Terms as the wiki and the official description use them. If a word is not here, it is probably borrowed from another game.

A trading system. Per-egg hatch chances. Treadmill and trail prices. Store prices for limited eggs. Update schedules. Pet base weights. The Angels & Demons pets' incomes. When a guide here is silent on one of these, it is because every source we accept is silent too; the editorial process page explains the rule.

Every zone with its gate, guardian and top nest pet, so the whole ladder fits on one screen. The zones page has all eight pets for each.

Now, honestly. The guides are reference material for the moment you hit a gate or lose an egg; the game teaches the rest. Come back for the zone table when a gate stops you, the calculator when you are choosing between two eggs, and the Rift guide on the half-hour.
