Rebirth

Introduction

Rebirth is Fake an Egg's prestige system: you reset your progress to multiply future income. Community guides report the first rebirth costs $750 cash, and each cycle resets your pets, cash and pens while adding an income multiplier that stacks into the next run. The result is the classic loop of the genre — you give up your current setup so the next setup earns much faster, which quickly outpaces what you could have done by hoarding. This page explains when to rebirth, exactly what resets and what carries over, how the multiplier changes your buying logic, and the strategy question players ask most: should I rebirth as soon as I can afford it, or save for one more big egg first? We mark the $750 figure and the multiplier behavior as community-observed, because the developer has not published the official numbers.

Core Mechanics

Rebirth in Fake an Egg works like a prestige reset with a permanent reward. You pay a cash cost — the first is reported at $750 — and the game clears your pets, your cash and your pens so you start the next cycle from a nearly empty pen. In exchange, the run after rebirth earns noticeably faster, because the multiplier from your rebirth stacks on top of the normal income rates. Cosmetic and account-level progress is generally observed to carry over between cycles, though exact rules are community-tested rather than documented. Because each rebirth raises future earning potential, the game's natural rhythm is to rebirth early and often once your income comfortably exceeds the cost. The strategy is basically an investment decision: spending $750 on a rebirth that speeds up every later session is usually better than hoarding that cash for a single expensive egg.

Advantages

A steady rebirth habit is the fastest reliable way to grow your economy in Fake an Egg. Each cycle resets your possessions but permanently increases how fast you earn, which means every later session pays better for the same effort. Rebirth-as-soon-as-you-can also frees you from the trap of hoarding — instead of sitting on a large cash stack waiting for a perfect egg, you put the money to work multiplying your income. Because the multiplier stacks across cycles, players who rebirth early reach the expensive egg tiers much sooner than players who never reset. The same math protects you from waste: an expensive egg bought right before a rebirth is lost progress, so the strategy guides are about timing, not just money.

Challenges

Rebirth costs you everything in your pen, so timing mistakes are expensive. If you rebirth right after buying an expensive egg, you effectively throw that purchase away, which is the most common new-player waste. The exact cost curve and multiplier values are community-reported — the $750 first rebirth figure comes from a third-party guide and may be outdated — so exact thresholds can change with updates. Cosmetic carry-over is community-observed and could be adjusted at any patch. Because the meta is young, the optimal rebirth rhythm may shift as the developer tunes the numbers, so treat any milestone table as a guide rather than a guarantee.
