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.

@daisycat hmmm I never thought about it that way. I always found it annoying when people remove travels B4 selling a pet. I love seeing items a pet has collected before & knowing they were ❤️d / But yeah, sometimes we don't want 2 keep that Scary Clown Mask in their collection 😉

minnie298a • 3 Feb 2023, 1:13 AM

In general, although this makes post 3, I'm not a fan of the blog daily. The wall and forum ones had work arounds I was comfortable with. This one, not so much. Now excuse me while I go do my breathing exercises to bring my heart rate back down to something with double digits.

daisycat • 3 Feb 2023, 1:14 AM

@snowywinter 50% of the time, I remove a travel before selling. :v Lol ooh reminds me, I tried this travel on a Vandao egg the other day; was hoping it would be even more visible through the egg. XD

dragrawr • 3 Feb 2023, 1:17 AM

@minnie298a not a fan of this one, but hope you feel better 💕

ladyheathen • 3 Feb 2023, 1:17 AM

I’ve been here before but only for a short time. Too busy to play full time till now.

dragrawr • 3 Feb 2023, 1:19 AM

Sitting here. Lurking. This just seems like spam at this point..

dragrawr • 3 Feb 2023, 1:20 AM

Waving hello to my silly cute Ryukura and smitten and loveer!

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 1:22 AM

@daisycat re:Vandao LOLz for Realz. OMG, that is too much >.< (I don't know why, but that is really making me laugh.) Good job! (You totally had me trying it on Lazzar & Mull too. : p - results were disappointing, but that's beside the point.)

strawberry876272 • 3 Feb 2023, 1:22 AM

so excited that ida92 's idea was made a reality! Glad I was able to get one ❤️

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 1:23 AM

@daisycat O.O ...okay, that was actually really unexpectedly awesome on the Asteraven. (but not in the hilarious way.)

captaincookies • 3 Feb 2023, 1:24 AM

@sapphire12 lol that's me

daisycat • 3 Feb 2023, 1:25 AM

@snowywinter Aw, I'm glad to make you laugh! Transparent creatures have a hidden joy you only realize once a travel is applied. :-D

dragrawr • 3 Feb 2023, 1:25 AM

Ooo got a non-binary Loveer YAYY 💕💕

raccoon • 3 Feb 2023, 1:26 AM

excited for the choco exchange this year 😊

raccoon • 3 Feb 2023, 1:27 AM

@dragrawr soooo jealous x.x fingers crossed the cave is nice to me this month

x50blessingzz • 3 Feb 2023, 1:27 AM

@lynncrow yeah agreed i don't think i'm a fan of this daily :/

x50blessingzz • 3 Feb 2023, 1:29 AM

although i am enjoying the monthly challenge in general; gives me a reason to actually log on every day

raccoon • 3 Feb 2023, 1:32 AM

yeah i agree with everyone saying that this daily aint it. i liked the forum one. maybe instead of a specific post it can be 3 posts on blogs/forums/walls? any post on any of them being valid or something. i'm sleep deprived right now so sorry if none of this is coherent. gn all!

leomaris • 3 Feb 2023, 1:34 AM

I guess this is one way to encourage daily activity; everyone likes free cash.

lutienlovemagic • 3 Feb 2023, 2:09 AM

I think very good idea this game. I very-very like it! 😊

daisycat • 3 Feb 2023, 2:09 AM

"I feel like I'm pooping in a public place." LOL you've got to be kidding me. XD That is too funny and such a great analogy.

cryogenics • 3 Feb 2023, 2:14 AM

i lost my vote - hit the submit button by accident - it sent a blank vote ☹️

thedarkarcher • 3 Feb 2023, 2:14 AM

I'm kinda getting frustrated with the challenges, the amount of ec wasted buying and consuming items is definitely incredibly massively. Now with this challenge of writing 3 times In a blog

dragonnn • 3 Feb 2023, 2:19 AM

Hard to justify commenting on a blog post more than once. Maybe change it to just one comment required?

murfijs • 3 Feb 2023, 2:19 AM

@thedarkarcher i agree. atleast donating items or creatures give other people a chance to claim them ,maybe even find something you REALLY wanted. but just wasting ec on items to consuming them? im not a fan. donating ec to sarc would be more useful than this.

thedarkarcher • 3 Feb 2023, 2:21 AM

@murfijs that's actually a decent idea with the donating to sarc at least it would progress a bit.

musicgurl333 • 3 Feb 2023, 2:29 AM

I second what everyone else has been saying about the daily to post on the forum. There aren’t THAT many new blog posts. It says, “don’t spam,” but I feel like it’s encouraging exactly that. So far the only “post x” daily that I liked was posting in the forums.

musicgurl333 • 3 Feb 2023, 2:30 AM

I could see maybe ONE blog post, but three is asking for low effort posts. Especially since this is a daily that will probably come up multiple times during the month.

nocutenameforme • 3 Feb 2023, 2:32 AM

I cannot wait to try for the Cave Monthlies!! They are so freakin' adorable!! ❤️

ida92 • 3 Feb 2023, 2:33 AM

I agree that the "post x posts" is literally encouraging to do spam... I often don't feel like saying anything special and I'm sure that I'm not the only one. People will just end up writing post about nothing or complaining.

musicgurl333 • 3 Feb 2023, 2:34 AM

@dragonnn @thedarkarcher I might feel differently later in the month, but so far I actually don’t think the EC required has been too bad. The donating daily allowed me to get rid of some items I had no use for. Plus, I was able to get some free items and then donate them back.

ida92 • 3 Feb 2023, 2:35 AM

I also agree that there should be a possibility to switch off profile comments. Some people may not want to read tens of wall comments on days that have the "post x wall comments" daily. Not to mention the notification spam.

ida92 • 3 Feb 2023, 2:36 AM

The "write x forum posts" is ok since you can just participate in some forum games, which are kind of fun.

musicgurl333 • 3 Feb 2023, 2:37 AM

@dragonnn @thedarkarcher As far as consuming items, there are usually some things that can be found inexpensively in the shops, and doesn’t using items have a chance to increase creature clicks/feeds? So not a TOTAL waste.

lothar • 3 Feb 2023, 2:44 AM

I think post one blog comment is enough, 3 is too much for me... I don't always have many things to say

mightyeglantine • 3 Feb 2023, 2:50 AM

Doing this for the blog comments task, I do really enjoy the dailies though I wish they'd be randomized for each person(unless they already are) as it'd add more variety to the site and places like the donation center.

lothar • 3 Feb 2023, 2:51 AM

If we can have a daily list which has more than 5 missions, and we can choose 5 missions we want to do, I think it's better for me, or add a fresh button to replace some missions I don't want to do with another

lothar • 3 Feb 2023, 2:54 AM

*a refresh button But I really love this month's CSP...I need more CC

alraune3 • 3 Feb 2023, 3:03 AM

I do not like this blog posting task either. I want to post something when I feel like it, not because I am forced to.

fehlynn • 3 Feb 2023, 3:16 AM

Aaaah social quests, it's my anxiety. I really don't like... 😱 Also, I don't see the point of commenting on old posts since they are now old news. Aside from saying that the creature is pretty, I won't know what to say.

zoruna • 3 Feb 2023, 3:22 AM

I didn't know what the blog was, until I read this. It's literally spam after all, so it's counterproductive. I don't like this one at all :/

fehlynn • 3 Feb 2023, 3:22 AM

On the other hand, I had a little fun for the first time on the game: I fell for a Smitten. They are magnificent ! ! ❤️

elluwah • 3 Feb 2023, 3:22 AM

I have literally nothing to say. Posting this only because I need to. This is a bad daily. 😭

elluwah • 3 Feb 2023, 3:25 AM

The fact we need to post three separate comments here is for sure encouraging spam?! Like I wouldn't be writing this otherwise. I feel like spam.

zoruna • 3 Feb 2023, 3:36 AM

Well, I'm going to say that I really like the creature of the month. I got the doe, but not the puppet. I hope to have it soon ^^

casperbleu • 3 Feb 2023, 3:36 AM

I really like the idea of these daily challenges. Most are fun.

casperbleu • 3 Feb 2023, 3:39 AM

However I'm not really a fan of these where you have to post stuff. I'm normally pretty quiet and don't have a lot to say so three posts is a lot.

casperbleu • 3 Feb 2023, 3:41 AM

Especially three posts. I'd be good with one post or something, but three is a bit much. For me anyway. I am having fun though. ❤️

deathie • 3 Feb 2023, 3:46 AM

I really like the idea of daily challenges.

calenlass • 3 Feb 2023, 3:52 AM

Spam is not tolerated but hey, everyone need to post 3 comments for your daily challenge. The irony...
