How to play 3x3 Eggs

Controls

The UK game page lists the same keys for laptop play. Tablets use a virtual joystick plus jump and action buttons instead of the keyboard.

The loop

Find a nest, pick up the egg, and carry it to your pen. The UK page says the guardian wakes the moment you take the egg and comes after you. The NZ page says that if the guardian catches you, you lose the egg.

A correct answer hatches the animal. Animals then earn coins. Coins buy speed, and speed is what opens later biomes.

• Buy speed before you wander. The build ties each biome to a speed number.
• Once the egg is in your hands, head home. The guardian is already awake.
• Wrong answers come back more often. Missing on purpose does not help.
• Coins come from animals, so a wider pen helps the next speed upgrade.
• On a tablet, use the action button for the E key.

Rooms

The NZ page says you can make a room code and play with friends. In the 9 Nov 2026 build the lobby shows Rooms, Join room, and Private Server. A room I looked at displayed a code and an online count out of 7.

I am not writing a click-by-click room tutorial. The public pages do not give one. What is visible is the room code, the seven-player cap, and those three labels.
