Welcome To February: Introducing The Monthly Challenge

February 1, 2023 at 12:00 AM

The Monthly Challenge

Welcome to February at Egg Cave! We have exciting news. Today, we'd like to introduce the Monthly Challenge, which is an achievements and dailies system that allows you to earn CaveCash without a direct buy. You can earn 100 CaveCash when you complete 25 days worth of dailies (and collect other rewards along the way). Dailies rotate and reset every day at midnight ECT.

How It Works

Visit and access the Monthly Challenge from your verified main account. Each month, you'll need to complete 2-factor authentication to access the Monthly Challenge. Haven't verified your main account yet? You can do that under Preferences with a valid phone number. The Monthly Challenge is largely hidden or out-of-view for side accounts and unverified main accounts.

  • Every day, there is a brand-new set of dailies to complete around Egg Cave that reward you for things you're likely already doing
  • For each daily you complete, you can claim an EC reward
  • After you complete all of the current day's dailies, you can claim the daily reward which is an 100% increased chance of finding a Cave monthly in the Cave
  • After you complete 25 days worth of dailies in a month (note that you don't have to be on every day!) you can claim your Monthly Challenge reward of 100 CaveCash

How The Dailies System Work

We'll explain some of the functionality behind how the dailies system works.

  • Every day, there are 2 dailies selected that are guaranteed to be very easy (i.e. one-click or post a few comments)
  • Every day, one of the dailies will always be feeding creatures
  • Over the course of several days, you'll notice that dailies have a low, medium, and high goal to complete; this is randomized. For example, when asked to feed creatures, sometimes it'll be 100 (low), 200 (medium), or 300 (high). Some days will be harder than others!

Community Feedback

This is the initial release of the Monthly Challenge and we know and understand that things will need to be updated, changed, and tweaked. We're here to listen to the community to build something that's challenging but also fun. Please visit the ⭐️💰 Monthly Challenge & Dailies Feedback Megathread at the Forums for all community discussion and feedback.

February's Unvaulted Creatures

February unvaulted creatures are the Vleermus and Strawbearry. Get yours while supplies last! They're each 1000 CC.

Cash Shop Monthlies

Please welcome these brand-new Cash Shop creatures—the Ryukura and the Smitten. Do you have a favorite? What's yours?

Many thanks to @dragrawr for the Ryukura and @daisycat and @twinkle for the Smitten. The first of their kind have been added to your accounts for free with the Creator's Mark.

Cave Monthlies

There are new creatures in the Cave this month, too. Say hello to the Loveer and Mariamourette.

@redflipflap It's mayhem in here for the Blog post which is fully understandable xD

mischu • 3 Feb 2023, 6:25 PM

Some nice incentives, appreciate the free CC that comes with completing it all, hoping to get a smitten.

umbregrl • 3 Feb 2023, 6:31 PM

Love the new challenge.

sweet

minnie298a • 3 Feb 2023, 6:53 PM

@musicgurl333 Thanks for letting me know about the feeds on items. I normally restrict my items to travels.

nostalgiic • 3 Feb 2023, 6:55 PM

it's taking all my willpower not to get a smitten, so cute! ❤️

mairbear • 3 Feb 2023, 7:06 PM

That awkward moment where you post 3 forum posts and then realize the daily was to make blog commnets xD

flareluna • 3 Feb 2023, 7:24 PM

I love how smitten is just a smore kitty with a strawberry on top

ljacks • 3 Feb 2023, 7:28 PM

The daily challenges are an awesome idea. Really a nice surprise to log into today. Hopefully the cave is nice this month for a Loveer.

stormdragonxi • 3 Feb 2023, 8:40 PM

Smitten is so adorable!

amysnow • 3 Feb 2023, 8:42 PM

I look forward to choco exchange event

Meteoroid • 3 Feb 2023, 9:14 PM

Oh man, this is a whole lotta comments! Glad to see The Monthly Challenge finally make its grand debut, along with that amazing NPC artwork.

cageheart • 3 Feb 2023, 9:25 PM

I can't wait to see how this goes

platypup • 3 Feb 2023, 9:46 PM

My cat looks like Smitten

netherling • 3 Feb 2023, 10:01 PM

I'm so happy there's finally a way to earn cave cash. I like this idea personally, it gives us extra things to do

netherling • 3 Feb 2023, 10:03 PM

I'm also IN LOVE with the new monthlies ❤️ One more sweets themed creature to add to my collection.

applegranny • 3 Feb 2023, 11:31 PM

Looking really good so far!

tortoise • 3 Feb 2023, 11:49 PM

I was just talking to @/megamisama90 about this update since I remembered seeing an old blog post about it, and I’m so glad it finally came out! I do have a suggestion though. Maybe add one extra task that is more difficult that can be worth maybe 50CC for completing it?

tortoise • 3 Feb 2023, 11:53 PM

Adding onto my last post, maybe one of the hard tasks could be to feed 1,000 creatures, feed several peoples coves, or receive a creature species that you don’t already have in your cove. Just a thought. I’m enjoying the tasks so far though, thank you egg cave team! 😊 ❤️

snowywinter • 4 Feb 2023, 3:30 AM

@tortoise those are great suggestions ^^ I hope you add them to @/Ian's mega feedback thread (if you haven't already. can even wait to see if the forum post requirement comes around again ; ) ) I sure hope the new species task would come around in the beginning of the month ; P

snowywinter • 4 Feb 2023, 4:41 AM

@wonder404exe your comment about breaking a record got me curious. I was like 'I'm pretty sure the blogs used to be more active' ? I didn't go through them all but it seems going over 1000 posts was a regular occurrence, and the top 3 I found were 3788, 3312, & 2926 comments.

watercress • 4 Feb 2023, 6:20 AM

YOO this is cool actually, gives ppl a reason to keep playing

fehlynn • 6 Feb 2023, 9:24 AM

Ooooo how I hate quests! Every time I'm ruined haha

raindrops • 12 Feb 2023, 6:10 AM

@Ian "Forum Posts" & spaming. Suggestion. I don't remember what I posted in Forums a long time ago & may post a similar topic, maybe our posts could be deleted after a time period? Definition of Spam: "any unwanted, unsolicited digit comm that gets sent out in bulk. That simple.

mithmel • 13 Feb 2023, 4:10 PM

Complete 10 Quests ? ? ?

snowywinter • 16 Feb 2023, 3:07 AM

O M G... I FINALLY found a Loveer in the CAVE. 3:02am Feb 16th. SIXTEEN days in, and some days making over 40 attempts.
