Welcome To February: Introducing The Monthly Challenge

February 1, 2023 at 12:00 AM 474 Comments

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.

Couldn't collect enough of your favorites during Creature Release Week? It's no big deal. All CRW species are now available in the Cash Shop for 200 CaveCash each.

CRW species will be on sale in the Cash Shop through February 28 at 11:59 PM ECT.

All CRW species have had their stages revealed in their respective Archives entries. Which one is your favorite from this week?

Thank you, again, for joining us for Creature Release Week 2023!

Final Day

This is the final day of Creature Release Week. No new creature is released today. It's simply an extra day with increased Cave attempts to collect the creatures you're after.

All stages of the CRW species will be visible in the Archives tomorrow. Are you ready for the reveal for each species?

Tomorrow, every CRW species will retire from the Cave but reappear in the Cash Shop for a limited time.

Thank you for participating in this year's Creature Release Week!

Don't visit the Cave from your side accounts! This has never been allowed and still isn't allowed during CRW. (It's really easy for us to tell who's abusing multiple accounts and Cave suspensions will be issued to offenders.)
