Valentine's Day: Chocotravaganza Exchange 2018

February 14, 2018 at 12:00 AM

Update 9:54 AM: The "number of chocolates" field to send now works correctly.

Chocotravaganza Exchange 2018

It's Valentine's Day at Egg Cave and you know what that means — the Chocotravaganza Exchange has returned for another year! Whoohoo!

Feed creatures, get Chocolate Boxes, and buy your favorite exclusive prizes! It's all new this year.

How It Works

  • Get Chocolate Boxes from feeding creatures around Egg Cave
  • Head over to the Exchange HQ and send Chocolate Boxes to other players and your friends
  • Using the Chocolate Boxes that you have received from others during the Exchange, get exclusive love- and heart-themed prizes from the Prize Shop
  • Use the Exchange HQ to keep up to date on who has sent you what (so maybe you can return the favor!)

In other words: to get the prizes you want, you have to give a little to get a little!

The Exchange will be open to collect Chocolate Boxes February 14-20.

New Prizes This Year: The Sweetoth

@skyfall4's CDWC entry was chosen to be the description for the Sweetoth. Being the winner, this user has been awarded the first creature of this species.

This creature is available as a brand-new prize from the Prize Shop.

New Prizes This Year: Travels

Four new themed Travels are now available from the Prize Shop. They will never be restocked in the main shops and are exclusive to the Chocotravaganza Exchange.

New Prizes This Year: February 2018's Cave Monthlies

If you couldn't get enough of them from the Cave, find February 2018's Cave monthlies available as prizes from the Exchange. There is a limit of one for each monthly per account. Do not participate in the Exchange from side accounts; side accounts used to purchase additional monthly creatures will be penalized.

!! Happy Valentine's day ❤️ 1 chocolate for 1 chocolate 😊

raindrops • 14 Feb 2018, 6:27 AM

My chocolates don't seem to be correctly adding up either. Will send in a ticket to Ian & Team. 😊

idol • 14 Feb 2018, 7:51 AM

Thank you so much for anyone sending me chocolate 😊 I will be on later today to send some back. I will give chocolate back to who gives it to me 😊

_piano_pokemon_ • 14 Feb 2018, 9:33 AM

thank you to anyone who sends me chocolates i will send you back when i can just post on my wall so i know ❤️ 😸 and feel free to feed my cove to 😊 happy valentines everyone

scorch_cloud222 • 14 Feb 2018, 9:36 AM

I mostly like the travels this year, but feel free to feed my @penguin cove for chocolates. I will feed back. 😸

icedmagma • 14 Feb 2018, 9:52 AM

I am sending chocolates back, my feed list is open for feeds, and my side @icelovesmagma is feed friendly

raindrops • 14 Feb 2018, 11:07 AM

Thx Ian & Team! Chocolate totals are fixed! ❤️

_piano_pokemon_ • 14 Feb 2018, 12:12 PM

@ian the pink border is displaying that i have 81 chocolates after giving some away, yet my balance says 64 also i received over 4 chocolates and one user sent 10 but its showing I only have 4, its my first time participating so idk if this is a glitch or normal O.o ?

_piano_pokemon_ • 14 Feb 2018, 12:39 PM

i always send back the same amount given which is 40 yet i only have 22 ☹️

ethereality • 14 Feb 2018, 3:38 PM

I should have ~50 but it says 17

stefrawr • 14 Feb 2018, 3:48 PM

my cove is welcomed to be fed for chocolates. feed some or feed all. whatever you choose is fine. also sending chocolates for chocolates. no more than 5 at a time please so I can keep it fair 😊

veritaspunk • 14 Feb 2018, 4:25 PM

I'm not sure the reach of this ...I wish there was a way to not accept more than one chocolate at a time... I will be giving out 1 for 1's only FWIW.

dragon_collector • 14 Feb 2018, 5:02 PM

sending x chocos for x!😃❤️my cove and my sides are feed friendly😊

draco_malfoy • 14 Feb 2018, 5:02 PM

There was definitely a glitch, but I think it's fixed now. Only thing is, I have 17 chocolates less than I should! *Cries* 😋

Ian • 14 Feb 2018, 5:03 PM

With regards to "my chocolate balance received is incorrect": it's not. There was a glitch earlier today where the "number of chocolates" box wasn't being honored and only 1 Chocolate Box was sent per request, even if the notification said 50. This has all been fixed now.

Ian • 14 Feb 2018, 5:05 PM

In other words... you didn't really "miss out" on chocolate boxes, it was just that a glitch at the Exchange was capping it at 1 per request (incorrect). All fixed now. ❤️

umbregrl • 14 Feb 2018, 5:50 PM

It's lagging a lot and I keep getting 502 bad gateway. That's not helping to get my choco.

spiritkoi • 14 Feb 2018, 6:11 PM

I regret not buying more of the original chocotravaganza travels, since those are the only things that don't return every year... Site is lagging a lot, but slowly and steadily feeding! Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day everyone! ❤️

bang14982 • 14 Feb 2018, 6:15 PM

The site's lagging so much and there are errors everywhere ☹️ I guess we'll just have to be patient... Oh well, happy Valentine's Day people! 😃

immortalraven • 14 Feb 2018, 6:16 PM

Oh good it's not just me on it being slow and getting the bad gateways >.>

solaris • 14 Feb 2018, 6:19 PM

So excited! I’ll return all chocolates sent ASAP! My iPad is a little slow right now, but I’ll give out as much as I can! 😊 I’ll also feed back whomever feeds my cove! (You don’t have to feed everyone. I know I have a lot!)

idol • 14 Feb 2018, 6:20 PM

I am also having the same issues. 😱

toplel • 14 Feb 2018, 6:51 PM

the fact that you get about 2 chocolates per about 10 creature :/

animegirlalways • 14 Feb 2018, 7:01 PM

To those looking for coves to feed for Chocolate boxes, you can feed as many as you want in my cove. Also, I will send a Chocolate box for each one I receive. 😊

veritaspunk • 14 Feb 2018, 7:15 PM

@immortalraven @idol @Ian I'm getting bad gateway errors like every third or fourth click ☹️

poptarts • 14 Feb 2018, 7:25 PM

Oh, glad to see it wasn't just me getting the gateways either. ;-; Thought a person blocked me at first when I sent them a message and got the error.

degong • 14 Feb 2018, 7:33 PM

Yeah, I keep getting “bad gateway” messages too, and I can’t really do much. ;-; And even when there aren’t any, it loads very slowly.

veritaspunk • 14 Feb 2018, 7:35 PM

@poptarts At this rate it's going to take me all night to finish a cove of 350 and get 1000 chocolates collected ☹️ Egg Cave could consider extending this a day b/c this is affecting the event participation throughout the day/hour to hour :/

poptarts • 14 Feb 2018, 7:49 PM

@veritaspunk An extension would be nice since the site is being buggy. "^-^ I'm not even going to bother with the Chocolate exchange since everything is seasonal. 😋 I'd save more time buying a Sweetoth in a year or two for cheap.

novrain62 • 14 Feb 2018, 7:51 PM

can't collect chocolates; bad gateway on just about every page and takes forever to load a page, too

veritaspunk • 14 Feb 2018, 7:55 PM

@poptarts I just enjoy the transactions and setting mini goals and reaching them especially because events like this are so infrequent ... but not enjoying it much this year... the interface seems really bulky, ... but the lag and errors are nearly impossible to overcome ☹️

poptarts • 14 Feb 2018, 7:59 PM

I'm sure eggcave will figure out something, pretty sure there are glitches since this is still a new version of eggcave. ;-; I get gateways only on peoples profiles it seems. @veritaspunk

poptarts • 14 Feb 2018, 8:04 PM

@veritaspunk Also, are the pictures of the creatures in peoples profiles appearing? I just see a bunch of broken images.

veritaspunk • 14 Feb 2018, 8:09 PM

@poptarts I get broken images, but some eventually load, others do not ... I can't go more than like five clicks without lag, bad gateways, and/or broken images

gryffindor16 • 14 Feb 2018, 8:21 PM

Yay! It's fixed! 😊

littleblush • 14 Feb 2018, 9:57 PM

@degong Yes same, hope this gets fixed- I cant view certain things so it is quite annoying ☹️

netherling • 14 Feb 2018, 10:54 PM

I highly wish this would’ve started before Valentine’s Day because I’m all about getting dates that correspond to the creature. ;~; and 500 chocolates is a ton

veritaspunk • 14 Feb 2018, 11:04 PM

@littleblush @netherling 500 will buy the new creature, but what about new travels and extras 😋 This lag and bad gateway may have been avoided with a test a day or two before the event. #wontmeetgoal #lostpotential

idol • 14 Feb 2018, 11:24 PM

@veritaspunk Yes mine is still constantly doing bad gateway making it impossible to do almost anything. Just to prove this is my 3rd time trying to post this..

sodabearjess • 14 Feb 2018, 11:27 PM

Ya, these 502 Bad Gateway's are making this a little more difficult then it needs to be. I hope it gets fixed, im going to bed 😊

sylviana • 14 Feb 2018, 11:45 PM

I'm hoping to get 2 of the pets in the exchange shop! I will return all chocolates sent my way 😃

vos • 15 Feb 2018, 4:24 AM

I have so much lag and so many Bad Gateway notices that I simply can't participate.

emo_pattys • 15 Feb 2018, 4:30 AM

I'm with this bad gateway problem too =/

raindrops • 15 Feb 2018, 7:40 AM

Im sry to all the ppl that I couldnt return chocolates to so they could get their creatures on Valentines Day. ☹️ 2 days now & coves wont load. Gateway Error! How could this have happened at a more worse time Ian & Team?! Not a happy caver rt now! ☹️

redflipflap • 15 Feb 2018, 10:25 PM

I've got a butt ton of chocolates to send! I'll return however many you send c:

nexu • 20 Feb 2018, 3:21 AM

Ôh no.. not enough chocolates for the sweetoth ... it's over? :/

isathebelle • 20 Feb 2018, 9:49 AM

Is it all over ?? I still need one more creature ☹️

sybil_howlett • 20 Feb 2018, 1:50 PM

@isathebelle it's not over yet 😊

isathebelle • 20 Feb 2018, 1:56 PM

@sybil_howlett I know I sent the ticket to the EC staff!I had a problem with chocolate, didn't get any until the resent! Hope to get the last creature left!Thank you for answering me

sybil_howlett • 20 Feb 2018, 1:59 PM

@isathebelle I hope you get the last creature in your list 😃 and anytime 😸
