Treadmill
In-game cashRepeatable
The only unlimited free source of Speed. It spawns directly in front of your base and is unlocked by upgrading your garden for $1,000. Standing on it generates Speed continuously, and every upgrade raises the per-second rate. Every dollar your pets earn should go here first.

Free Rewards (like, favourite, group)
FreeOne-time
Open the free rewards panel and complete the like, favourite and group-join steps for 10,000 Speed total. One-time, takes under a minute, and it skips you straight past the Lake gate at 900 Speed. Do this before anything else.

Trails
In-game cashOne-time
Bought from the Trail Shop with in-game cash. A trail applies a Speed multiplier on top of whatever the treadmill gives you, so it compounds. The Divine Trail carries the highest multiplier currently available.

Index Rewards
In-game cashRepeatable
Hatching a pet species you have never owned unlocks an Index reward paying out Speed and cash. Rarer first-time pets pay more, which makes variety worth chasing rather than farming one egg repeatedly.

Admin Abuse event boosts
FreeRepeatable
During the Saturday Admin Abuse window the developers stack Speed multipliers game-wide. Players routinely use it to sprint to Cosmic, grab an egg and get back to base in seconds — runs that would be impossible at their normal Speed.

Speed packs (Robux)
RobuxRepeatable
The in-game shop sells Speed packs for Robux. They are a straight time-skip, not a requirement — every biome in the game is reachable free through the treadmill and trail loop.

The loop that actually works
The recorded systems connect in this progression loop:
- Pets in your base generate income.
- Income buys treadmill upgrades, which raise Speed per second.
- Speed unlocks the next biome.
- Another biome gives access to a different roster; a pet that improves an occupied slot can raise income.
Choose purchases around your current goal. A collection objective, an earning-slot upgrade and a new biome can require different choices. Meeting an entry figure alone does not establish that you can complete the return route.
Treadmill adds, trails multiply
Compare the increase in effective Speed per second, then divide it by the purchase price. If an unboosted treadmill rate is 1,000/s and your current trail is 1.2×, moving to 1.5× adds 300/s. A treadmill upgrade adding 200/s before that current 1.2× trail adds 240/s. At equal prices the trail has the larger immediate increase; at twice the price it has the smaller increase per dollar. These are hypothetical inputs, assuming the reported multiplier model applies.
What the free Speed is actually worth
The free rewards panel hands out 10,000 Speed for a like, a favourite and a group join. If available and unclaimed, it exceeds the listed 900 Speed figure for Lake. Here is where that number sits on the curve you are actually climbing:
The recorded free 10,000 is about one part in 2,000,000 of the highest Speed figure in this table. That comparison measures scale, not time to unlock the area. Your earning rate and available upgrades affect training time. See how to compare upgrades and the access conditions for each biome.

Speed FAQ
How do you get Speed fast in Steal An Egg?
Check the free reward panel, then compare affordable upgrades by how much additional Speed per second each gives for its price. Use your current treadmill rate and trail multiplier; multiplication alone does not make one purchase better.
What is the treadmill in Steal An Egg?
A repeatable training source of Speed described in the linked guides. It spawns in front of your base and is unlocked by upgrading your garden for $1,000. Standing on it generates Speed continuously, and each upgrade raises the per-second rate.
Do you need Robux to progress?
The recorded treadmill and in-game cash upgrades provide a progression route without buying Speed packs. Some biomes also have non-Speed unlock conditions, so check the specific entry requirements.
What is the best trail?
Check the current Trail Shop for its available multipliers and prices. For your next purchase, compare the improvement over your equipped trail rather than the largest multiplier alone.
How much Speed do I need for each biome?
Lake 900, Desert 10K, Jungle 40K, Snow 170K, Volcano 700K, Abyss Ocean 2.5M, Prehistoric 17M, Cosmic 700M, Cherry Blossom 2.5B, Titan Temple 7B, Angels and Demons 20B. These are recorded Speed figures; additional unlock conditions and disputed thresholds are described below. Forest has no listed Speed requirement.
