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.

@snowywinter I voted for asteroid creatures also *shrugs*

calenlass • 3 Feb 2023, 3:57 AM

Can't wait for the chocolates but something tells me I'm going to be too busy at work to participate much.

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 3:59 AM

@daisycat I'm glad you quoted the bathroom analogy! (Couldn't find the orig and will leave them anon, but) but I LOL'd ... ... ... SAME! I feel so exposed on the Blogs. Like the outhouse walls fell down. >.<

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 4:04 AM

@calenlass I technically didn't vote at all. On tablet it's in the same spot as the normal Search box and I accidentally entered in a potential Name for one of my creatures >.< (Still haven't heard back from staff if we're going to get re-dos or what's going on.)

deathie • 3 Feb 2023, 4:12 AM

I really like the creature of the month. I've had both and I'm very happy with them.

dragonelle • 3 Feb 2023, 4:21 AM

I love The Monthly Challenge

ekmmke • 3 Feb 2023, 4:45 AM

@casperbleu Same! I'm worried I'll be bothering people somehow by posting a lot or breaking the no-spam rule...

ekmmke • 3 Feb 2023, 4:46 AM

I have no idea who to vote for the March unvaulted creature! I'm not super knowledgeable on older creatures, despite how long I've been on here 😋

ekmmke • 3 Feb 2023, 4:46 AM

Aaand my last post! Please don't report me for spam I'm just doing my dailies lolol

kiryko • 3 Feb 2023, 5:12 AM

Is it obligatory to do dailies in a row?If I miss a day my progress will not count?

minnie298a • 3 Feb 2023, 5:17 AM

@musicgurl333 If I'm remembering correctly food, toys and books increase happiness. So the stats dictating level don't change, it's just longer until you pet dies.

foxfury13 • 3 Feb 2023, 5:22 AM

I absolutely love doing dailies so this if pretty fun idea ^^

salanderinlove • 3 Feb 2023, 5:34 AM

One deer creature more to my collection! I really love it, even it's too pink for me lol

rowyn • 3 Feb 2023, 6:01 AM

I spy another cat to add to my collection 😸

takabakun • 3 Feb 2023, 6:15 AM

Forced socialization makes it hell to someone with mental illnesses, and should "enjoy" the game?

castielkix • 3 Feb 2023, 6:16 AM

I feel like this quest should probably be changed lol but I’m really excited to get the new cave monthlies, they’re so cute

takabakun • 3 Feb 2023, 6:17 AM

This is the third day in a row with such quest...

takabakun • 3 Feb 2023, 6:18 AM

Will all day be the same? I'm not a fan of this.

castielkix • 3 Feb 2023, 6:23 AM

I’m glad we have a way to get cavecash without money (because I’m poor lol) but I think this daily should be changed or at least modified. I’m kinda a confused on what counts as spam tbh. Do I have to space these out for them to not be it or are none of them considered spam¿¿

pauloacacio • 3 Feb 2023, 6:25 AM

I’m glad we have a way to get cavecash without money!

sparklefox • 3 Feb 2023, 6:31 AM

Not sure if I like the idea of the wall/blog comment dailies either, tbh. (Was wondering why this blog suddenly had 300+ comments, I'm currently not verified so had no clue... lol.)

xxcouchxx • 3 Feb 2023, 6:37 AM

I love the Lover! ❤️

xxcouchxx • 3 Feb 2023, 6:37 AM

Thankfully I got one

xxcouchxx • 3 Feb 2023, 6:38 AM

(also, how is this not the very definition of spam)? XD

mindwhiper • 3 Feb 2023, 6:48 AM

This message is not a spam! It's just a consequences of decision to make dailies like this!

mindwhiper • 3 Feb 2023, 6:50 AM

However, I still believe that it brings profit to the owners of the site from the views, so I do not feel much shame when I write this message.

mindwhiper • 3 Feb 2023, 6:54 AM

This is really what they wanted, and people are inherently lazy creatures, I won't even try to make three messages find their place on the site.

minyoongi1 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:05 AM

I love the idea of ​​the daily tasks. So you always have something to do.

mindassala • 3 Feb 2023, 7:05 AM

The Smitten is so cute!

minyoongi1 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:05 AM

But I don't think the tasks with the 3 posts are good. On the one hand you shouldn't write spam, but on the other hand you're forced to do it in order to complete the task.

minyoongi1 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:06 AM

I prefer to be a silent player. And I have to use a translator. I find the creatures all very cute and it's fun to collect them

deathie • 3 Feb 2023, 7:08 AM

This is my last post for the quest

geefriend45 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:18 AM

the cave monthlies are so cute! I luckily managed to get a Mariamourette from the cave this morning, hopefully I get a Loveer soon 😃

icedragon3000 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:22 AM

This month creatures are so lovely. ❤️ But I´m not fond of this daily. One post would be enough.

yrnaelle • 3 Feb 2023, 7:23 AM

@minyoongi1 I admit that they Ask not to spam I think its because you cant send 3 messages at once. But more liké you send one and you wait some Times to send another one.

geefriend45 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:23 AM

I really like the cash shop critters too! just had to get both, I especially love the Ryukura ❤️ and I'm glad to see the Vleermus again as well! so cute!

fainne_24 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:33 AM

Thank you for bringing new dynamics to the game, its really cool this monthly challenge 😊

reiskoernchen_19 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:40 AM

okay i LOVE the dailies and that you can get CC without real money 😊

reiskoernchen_19 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:42 AM

@minyoongi1 im there with you - i would be okay to interact once or something but i don't like to communicate most times when i'm doing my hobbies so it's a little bit uncomfortable to me. i mean yeah, i took your post to answer bc i want the 100cc but well.

reiskoernchen_19 • 3 Feb 2023, 7:43 AM

not the most fan for creatures that resemble food or other things but the smitten is cute 😸

noxura • 3 Feb 2023, 7:51 AM

Finally something I can do on eggcave now that daily tasks are in. Although I don't like posting comments, it's worth it for the CC I think!

alice_meri_fox • 3 Feb 2023, 8:08 AM

Oh I love strawbearry but I won’t have enough CC by the end of the month to get one!

kota • 3 Feb 2023, 8:08 AM

Well, dailies are a good idea, but 3 blog comments seems excessive

alaylith • 3 Feb 2023, 8:20 AM

Blog comments and wall comments are not really good tasks - if I want to say something I'll do so, everything else I personally consider as spam and feel uncomfortable doing (especially as english is not my native language). ☹️

beta • 3 Feb 2023, 8:24 AM

@kota I agree, especially with limited blog posts

jazzanna • 3 Feb 2023, 8:25 AM

I'm not sure how to make three blog comments without saying something meaningless and just wasting space, I guess. So I'm hoping this isn't spam. Just trying to get my challenge! I am enjoying the challenges quite a bit thus far.

beta • 3 Feb 2023, 8:26 AM

@jazzanna this seems to be a widespread struggle, I know it’s one for me.

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 8:36 AM

@musicgurl333 my posts on page 5 (for the requirement) were definitely not low effort... but I can't see doing that several times in a month. Usually wit is not my forte.

chihiro_sang • 3 Feb 2023, 8:46 AM

I think the blog posts and donations are the only ones so far that weren't already dailies for many.

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 8:46 AM

@kiryko If you mean individual tasks, no you can do them in any order. If you mean back to back days, not always. You just need to complete any 25 days in a month. Quote: "note that you don't have to be on every day!"
