Newbie Guide

Welcome, new players! This page will guide you through everything you need to do to get started with phonies.

First, make sure to join the group! All our activities are hosted there. You'll need a deviantART account to join. Click on the following button to go there!

Here's how you can get a phony in the game! Players who already have phonies can send them out into the world to find eggs or breed with other phonies. But what if you don't have one yet?

You'll need to go and claim your first phony. We offer a welcome package to new players! Each player is given one free egg when they join, (This is once per player, not per account) and they can choose between one of the following seven biomes: Wetland, Chaparral, Grassland, Rainforest, Woodland, Taiga or Shallow Waters. The biome will determine the colors and markings you can get!

Claim your first egg here!

The welcome package in this link includes both an egg and a couple of pebbles, the game's currency, to get started with. Once you've got your starter loot, you can hatch your egg at the Egg Center and get a genotype from your egg! If you find that the colors or markings aren't to your liking, you can reroll your starter egg, but only once, so do so wisely!

After getting your egg's genotype, check out our Import Guide and Genetics section to see what you have to do to get your phony on the masterlist!

Once your phony is uploaded, you'll be able to use them in activities. Check out the Activities page to see what you can do with your new phony!
