Eggs all over London – in bath tubs, balanced on chimneys, nestled in sofas, tucked in the holds of docked ships. And they’re vast ones, the size of a beer barrel, an over-rounded dog, a prize-winning marrow.
Acquire an egg. Apply augmentations to it, if you like. Why not? The d___ed things are everywhere, and while London is hardly short on distractions, they’re wonderfully novel – though they do take up quite a bit of space in your parlour.
Incubate eggs, one at a time. What will happen when they hatch? Who knows! Each will take 23 hours to hatch unless you, ahem, assist it. What else to do with them? Try sending one to a friend. Surely no more dangerous than a boxed cat!
All of last year’s Whitsun items and pursuits are available again this year. You’ll be able to receive Scarlet and Pelagic Eggs for free, though Aged and Percipient eggs cost one Amber Ha’Penny to buy. Each egg produces different types of creatures.
Look for ‘Welcome to Whitsun’ anywhere in London. You’ll get three Ha’Pennies at the start of the festival, with the ability to obtain more for Fate. Amber Ha’pennies can be spent in various places during Whitsun to speed up the hatching process, obtain Aged or Percipient eggs, or to turn your eggs into unique, otherwise unavailable items.
Aiding Mr Hearts
The Fretful Butcher looks towards his back room, and then lowers his voice. “It’s experimenting on the eggs. Hatching some, into monsters. It said that they lacked ‘heft and flavour’. Made a terrible mess of my abattoir.”
Mr Hearts’ interest in the Whitsun festivities continues this year. It is searching for creatures possessing those most delicious and toothsome qualities, which have eluded it in all the hatchlings and augmentations it has tried thus far: size, and power.
Aiding Mr Hearts will require a lot more eggs, and a little more legwork, than hatching an egg the normal way – but Mr Hearts hatches them immediately, and the process will produce creatures large enough to use as Transports. This year, due to their ubiquity, only Scarlet and Pelagic Eggs can be brought for Mr Hearts’ use, and there are four new Transports to collect.
To begin, you will need a ‘Monster Nurturer’ quality – gained from hatching Whitsun eggs normally – of at least one, and an egg. After a short introductory story, Mr Hearts will hatch one egg into a Transport for free per year; additional Transports will require 30 Fate each.
The Apicius Club
There’s a gathering of gourmets who will sample almost anything: the Apicius Club. These connoisseurs of novel flavours are reconvening for the festivities, and willing to take all manner of delicacies off your hands, including but not limited to these tempting, giant ova. Look for ‘De Gustibus in Whitsun’ at Ladybones Road to make their acquaintance.
Employ SCIENCE to further your egg experiments!
Purchase a Highly Illegal Experimental Augmentation Device (Probably) in order to get the very most out of your eggs, or investigate them in your University Lab to learn more about their mysterious origin.
Enjoy your eggs!
Whitsun begins today, 14th May 2026. From the 25th, at 14:00 BST, you will no longer be able to buy further eggs. You will be able to incubate and hatch eggs until the 28th, at 14:00 BST – after which, to prevent a dreadful stench, all eggs will be removed.
