Steal an Egg Nest & Guard Strategy
The egg is only half the job — getting it home is the other half. Plan the route, dodge the guards, and protect the return trip.

Plan the route first
Scout the nest before you commit. Know which guards patrol which lane and where the egg spawns, then pick the shortest path that avoids line-of-sight. The beginner guide covers the core loop; this is the evasion layer on top.
Escape the guards
- Use cover: walls and terrain break guard vision. Hug cover on the approach so you are never in the open longer than needed.
- Bait and split: a fast pet or a Trail speed burst can pull a guard off your lane — then slip the other way.
- Time the night: egg runs line up with the reset window, so strike when guards reset their patrol too.
Protect the return trip
Most losses happen on the way home. Keep a tank pet or a guard of your own near the exit, and never carry more than you can defend. If a rare egg is on the line, a Huge pet scout holding aggro is worth more than the extra slot you sacrificed for it.

A noob-to-pro beginner walkthrough: hatching your first pet, claiming free Speed, using traps on guards, and the right early upgrade order.
- Place your first egg, hatch it, then put the pet in your fenced pen — never leave a pet slot empty.
- Do the free-rewards steps (like, favorite, join the group) for a free 10,000 Speed instantly.
- Use the Traps from your Pet Index on guards (e.g. the chicken) so they do not chase you while you steal.
- Stay in the Forest early game — you are not fast enough for the Lake (900 Speed) or Desert yet. Upgrade pens and treadmill first.
- AFK on the treadmill to passively gain Speed and unlock higher areas; buy Trails for a speed boost to reach better eggs.
