Timer
Steal An Egg egg spawn timer
Egg spawn time is the highest-frequency clock in the game. Nests repopulate on a cycle and the map briefly closes while it happens — miss the window and you waste the trip.

Egg spawn reset
Not anchored--:--
Single source. One guide states eggs reset every 5 minutes with the map closing for about 13 seconds afterwards. An independent wiki that applies the same evidence standard we do states plainly that the egg reset process is NOT verified. We have not confirmed it in-game either. The timer below therefore starts from your own observation rather than from the clock — set the interval you actually see, and it will track that.
Why this timer works differently to the others
Nests across the biomes are reported to repopulate on a fixed cycle, with the map briefly closing while it happens. It is the highest-frequency clock in the game — far more often than the Great Bloom — which is why players plan runs around it.
Using it well
- Anchor on a reset you actually witness, not on one you assume happened.
- Check the interval after a few cycles. If the countdown drifts against what you see, adjust it — that drift is data.
- Do not be mid-run at the closure. Being locked out with an egg in hand is the expensive failure mode.
- Re-anchor when you change server. If the cycle is tied to server uptime rather than wall-clock time, a new server means a new offset.
Help us verify it
This is the biggest measurable gap in the game's public documentation, and it is the kind of thing one careful player with a stopwatch can settle. If you time several consecutive resets — the gap between them and how long the closure lasts — send it in. We will publish it with your observation credited as the source and upgrade this page from unconfirmed.
Egg respawn FAQ
How often do eggs respawn in Steal An Egg?
One guide reports a 5-minute cycle with the map closing for about 13 seconds afterwards. We have not confirmed it, and a wiki that applies the same evidence standard we do states the reset process is not verified. Anchor the timer to a reset you see yourself and it will track your server accurately regardless of what the true default is.
Why does the map close after a reset?
Reported as a brief lockout — around 13 seconds — while nests repopulate. Being caught outside when it happens costs you the trip.
Does the egg reset happen on every server at the same time?
Unknown. If the cycle runs from server start rather than wall-clock time, every server is offset differently — which is exactly why this tool anchors to your own observation instead of assuming a shared schedule.
Why does this timer not just show a countdown straight away?
Because we would have to invent the starting point. Every other site that shows one is assuming an alignment nobody has verified. Anchoring takes one tap and gives you a timer that is actually correct for the server you are on.
