Video ad doubler icon
Videos are advertisements you can watch in Egg, Inc. They give rewards upon watching. Video ads can be disabled by going into the 9 dot menu -> Settings -> Privacy & Data, and toggling the 'ADS' switch there. You will no longer receive video ad offers, and the 2x earnings doubler in the boost menu will give a free 1 hour boost each time you tap it. This will only reset the timer to its full amount, it will not add hours to your existing timer.
Reward Videos[]
You can get an alert every 2-5 minutes that a video is ready to be watched. If you click the notification, you will be offered either a bonus of Bocks, Golden Eggs, Boosts, Tickets, or if you're on a contract, Tokens. You may then accept or decline to watch the video, not earning the reward if declined. If there are no ads available (e.g. not being on a connection), the notification will appear but hitting the watch button will dismiss the alert.
Drones are paused while a video is playing but they are not paused while you are on the confirmation screen. Therefore if you see a drone appear right after you click the video notification, you should quickly click "Yes" to watch the video and then quickly hunt the drone after the video finishes.
Chicken Boxes[]
In a Contract, a video alert can alternatively offer chicken boxes that increase your farm population. Normal chicken boxes offer 3% of your current farm population, and rarely, large chicken boxes offer 9% of your current farm population.
However, they don't appear after habs are 90% full, which is about a red line in the occupancy.
Chicken boxes are extremely useful because you can grow your farm (especially if you have billions of chickens) without having to spend golden eggs and tokens on a Tachyon Prism. However, you also need to make sure that you have enough vehicle capacity to support this.
Boost Videos[]
You can watch a video to earn a 2x multiplier for 2 hours, (upgradeable to 8 hours using Video Doubler Time), but sometimes this option may be greyed out and unavailable if there is still a considerable amount of time in the multiplier, or if your game is bugged. You can fix this bug by toggling ads off, activating the multiplier, and then enabling ads again using the guide at the top of this article.
If the option to watch the video is available while your multiplier is still going, watching the video will only reset the timer to its full amount—it will not add hours to your existing timer.
Trivia[]
- Videos that reward boosts mention them as regular, rare, and epic. A rare boost may be a 1hr. Soul Mirror, but an epic boost could be a 1 day Soul mirror.
- However, some boosts may be categorized as both rare and epic, regular and rare, and etc.
- A box multiplier special event does multiply the amount of chickens in a box, making chicken boxes an effective way to gain population.
- There is a grammatical mistake when a video is offering a chicken box "Watch a video for large chicken box?" (they forgot an a between the for and large.)
- There also is a mistake for boost tokens: "Watch a video for boost token?" Again, the article "a" is missing.
