The popup that appears for special events when the small pink icons are tapped.
Special Events are events that occur in Egg, Inc. that grant bonuses and increases in gains. They typically last for around 24 hours and multiple events can happen at once. They typically begin at 9AM PST. They are signified by pink icons on the left of the screen. Special Events can be ULTRA exclusive.
Special Events with multipliers give a percentage off of specific features such as habitats and research but also offer other bonuses like a soul egg multiplier on prestiges. Usually, a prestige event will happen on a Saturday, and a Piggy Boost will occur on Sunday. A calender of past events can be found here.
Types[]
Here are some various types of events that may occur:
- Cash Boost: Boosts the cash gained from the player's chickens. Typically 2x, rarely 3x.
- Epic Research Sale: Gives a discount on Epic Research. Typically 35%.
- Generous Drones: Raises the rewards for downing drones. Typically 4x.
- Generous Gifts: Boosts the value of gifts. Typically 2x.
- Hab Sale: The cost of habitats is reduced by the percentage. Typically 80%.
- Piggy Boost: Instead of actions adding 1 egg to the piggy bank, more will be added (eg. double adds 2 per action to the bank, triple adds 3). typically +4.
- Unlimited Piggy: The piggy bank is no longer capped.
- Research Sale: Gives a discount on common research. Typically 70% off.
- Soul Eggs Boost: When the player prestiges, they gain double, triple, or more the Soul Eggs they would normally get, depending on the event multiplier. The top value represents the soul eggs gained without the event. The bottom, larger number is the multiplied value which will be gained after prestiging. Typically 2x, rarely 3x, and once a year greater than that.
- Vehicle Sale: The cost of vehicles is reduced by the percentage.
- Longer Boosts: Boosts last twice as long.
- Crafting Sale: Gives a discount on Artifacts crafting. This does not affect slotting stones into shiny artifacts. Typically 30%.
- Shell Sale: Gives a discount on Shell purchasing. As of 19-08-2024 this is ULTRA exclusive, typically 15 - 20%.
- Mission Capacity Boost: Spaceships launched during the event bring double or triple the artifacts, depending on the event multiplier. A triple capacity event however has only been done once. Typically 2x.
- Mission Duration Cut: Spaceships launched during the event return faster. This has occurred for the first time on 05-05-2024. Typically 4x (Ship timers are 25% of their normal duration).
- Mission Fuel Boost: Spaceships fuel faster. (This applies to fuel going into the Fuel Tank or directly into a spaceship, not fuel moving from the fuel tank to a Spaceship.) Typically 3x.
Egg Day[]
Egg Day is the games anniversary, on the 14th of July each year. For the past 5 years it has been accompanied by massive events, making it the best day to prestige on.
- 1st anniversary: Nothing.
- 2nd anniversary: Initial release of Contracts.
- 3rd anniversary: Nothing.
- 4th anniversary: 4x Prestige, 4x Drones, 4x Piggy fill, 4x Earnings, 4x Gifts.
- 5th anniversary: 5x Prestige, 5x Drones, 5x Piggy fill, 5x Fueling.
- 6th anniversary: Shell Update, 6x Prestige, 6x Drones, 6x Piggy fill, 6x Fueling, 3x Earnings.
- 7th anniversary: 7x Prestige, 7x Drones, 7x Piggy fill, 7x Fueling. 77% off Common Research.
- 8th anniversary: 8x Prestige, 8x Piggy fill, -87.5% Mission Duration, ULTRA 30% off Crafting.
Notably, the 3x Earnings event on the 6th anniversary and the lack of an earnings event on the 7th anniversary means that the 6th anniversary gave more Soul Eggs per prestige. 3^0.21 * 6 = 7.557 which is greater than the 7x prestige multiplier for the 7th anniversary.

- 20% off Epic Research
- 20% off Boosts
