Happy birthday, Egg Cave!

It's been another year that the Cave has been open. Happy 17 years, Egg Cave! Thank you for being here and for celebrating with us.

The 17th Birthday Creature: The Beejubelle

Say hello to the Beejubelle! This creature collects one spark of light for every year the Cave has been open, so this year it carries seventeen sparks in its lantern. It'll be in the Cave through the end of this month. In August, it will no longer be available in the Cave and then be available for 200 CC.

You'll need 99,000 30,000 clicks to fully evolve it. (Its evolution points have been adjusted to be much, much lower.)

500 CaveCash Giveaway

Every year on our birthday, we give away 500 CaveCash to all of you. You're allowed to claim this reward from your main account only (limit 1 per person). Verify yourself at Main & Side Accounts. Have problems? Submit a ticket.

This giveaway is only for today and tomorrow. After that, it's closed. So don't wait!

Enjoy 500 CC on us! We hope you like it.

The Leep

The Leep returns for its annual reappearance! Find it in the Cave through July 31.

Happ Birthday Eggcave ❤️ The little Beejubelle is soooo cute

heatherm19 • 4 days ago

Agree about the stats requirement, there is 'fun and engaging challenge' and then there is 'taking literal years without CC'. The collective effort to get Colabres grown through a forum initiative was awesome but we shouldn't *need* that sort of thing to see our creatures grow.

snowywinter • 4 days ago

The thing that stings is the post saying "like previous birthday creatures" alluding to a precedent, but in reality it's only been the past couple with astronomically high evolve stats. It doesn't take going back many years to see this wasn't the case before.

@snowywinter @heatherm19 I've updated the Beejubelle's evolution points to 10K, 20K, and 30K instead of 99,000. 🐝

Thanks Ian, still a challenge but that’s good : D

geddra • 4 days ago

Wow so many clicks

snowywinter • 4 days ago

Thanks @Ian! : ) ...though I think it would have been neat to have one of the stages bee 17,000 ; p

spookyfrog • 4 days ago

@Ian Thank you. It'll still take a significant amount of time but it is at least feasible now. Thank you for listening to us

myriadium • 4 days ago

lol hopefully this is the end of these insane evo requirements, we have one for each stat now...

happy birthday, eggcave!! wow!! can't believe how much i've changed and grown since i first started playing but i appreciate that eggcave has grown up with me❤️

heatherm19 • 4 days ago

Hearing player's concerns and adjusting, there is the Eggcave I fell in love with! ❤️ Now that it's a bit more reasonable I might actually want one, lol

stormwarden • 3 days ago

i'm so happy the evo stats were adjusted to something more achievable!! i'll just consider it frozen in the baby form if/when i ever get around to hatching mine XD

jarsha • 3 days ago

Thank you SO much for adjusting it, I feel more confident that I can at least get it to baby stage eventually.

spookyfrog • 3 days ago

@stormwarden lol honestly i wouldn't worry about freezing it

lockhart • 3 days ago

I know it's only a Short Event and won't be there for much longer, but is there any way to turn Off the Bright Yellow Banner for Side Accounts...? I'm on my Side account for @Lexian and my ADHD is Screaming at me to Click it...! (I won't, but Still...!) 😅

lockhart • 3 days ago

Thinking about it now, at least I can Tell I'm on a Side Account because the only place banner 'Isn't' is on my Main 🤔 I wonder if there's a way to Implement something that makes it So Screamingly Obvious that you're on a Side Account you can't Miss it? 😅 @Ian

snowywinter • 3 days ago

@lexian We had been asking for years for a close option to be added to the banners, but Now with the merging of sides under one email going to happen, the need to do so will be obsolete (in-theory.) / (but I hear ya, it was SO hard not clicking it! Brain kept autopiloting.)

veritaspunk • 3 days ago

@stormwarden @jarsha Since it is the The 17th Birthday Creature, I thought the number 17 would be suitable, like 17/170, 1700, 17000/17017 wouldn't that be wild :-)

...We also Need a 'Like' Button for when I can't think of anything to reply with haha 🤣
