From Deca's comment about more possible outcome eggs during BeB, it seems like this will be a permanent feature in the game, not just an event special? So we will have plenty of time to hone our strategy, I hope.
Deca has confirmed Eggy Hatchy will only be a mini-game for events. It won’t be a permanent feature in the game. The reference to BEB in their FAQ is in regards to future events where we’ll inevitably have BEB overlapping the event.

What happens if you finish all the towers for eggy hatchy?
There are new towers at reset.

You’ll receive double the pinecones for Eggy Hatchy.
Also, there’s no reset for tickets. So if it’s a regular/single day, and you have tickets just before reset, might as well wait and see if reset brings a double day before playing Eggy Hatchy.

I don’t get it. I wanna get Pine Cones but I haven’t a clue.
I don’t know a thing about breeding except the current Dragon I’m trying to breed.
How am I supposed to remember breeding combos for Dragons I got years ago?
it should be up to DECA to publish a simple, understandable, document about the goals of this game and how to attain them. We shouldn’t have to figure something this complicated out for ourselves.
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
C’mon Man!
We’re working on an easy to follow guide.
Thanks Fletch, appreciate it but I don’t think it’s your job to have to figure it out and then explain it to the rest of us. You don’t get paid for that, DECA does and when they introduce something this complicated and time consuming, they are responsible for educating the players. Again, thanks.

DECA is catching a lot of flack. Honestly though, I don't think it's so bad. More of an intro would have been appreciated, but it's still a standard matching game.
10 15 20 30? 40 /110 x 3 = 330 extra tickets/day. Much appreciated.
Eggs! is a new minigame available in during this camping event. The basic idea is that you breed eggs together (not dragons!) to create new eggs, following the same basic breeding rules from normal Dragonvale caves. The rarer the dragon egg, the more 'points' or 'score' it is worth. Golden hybrids are worth more than normal hybrids, epics are worth more than hybrids, and twin versions of dragons are worth more than their non twin counterpart.
You're given 5 tickets to play, and tickets regenerate 1 ticket every 30 minutes for a total max of 5. That means you can play all 5 attempts every 2.5 hours if you're so inclined. Towers reset once a day, at game reset time.
There are goals to reach in each stage, and to clear the stage you must complete all the goals on the current attempt. Every time you breed two eggs together, the resulting egg is also given a level. That level is the sum of the levels of eggs you bred, and all eggs start at level 1 in each stage. Some of the goals are to reach a certain score on the board. Other goals can be to bank (save) an egg of a certain level and element. Even if you fail to meet your goals, your final score can still help you unlock the next level in the tower.
The game was not explained well by Deca, but then Deca's other games often deal with more hard core gamers who are used to figuring these things out on their own. This should be a learning experience for them that future games need more of a tutorial for many DV players, who can often be more of a casual gamer.
Lets walk through some of the game play:
The first step is to enter the new minigame area below. This will take you to a screen where you will see the various camp's to clear, the number of tokens you have, and the stages unlocked. The cost to unlock the next stage in each tower is listed at the bottom. Scores from games are cumulative to reach this score, so if you fail to unlock it on your first try then you'll be closer on the next.
Entering the first stage on Camp Meadow shows how many pinecones we'll receive for clearing the stage and then next we can see the goals required to clear the stage, along with the initial board setup.
As you can see here, we need one level 5 lightning egg and 7500 points to complete the stage. That ignite egg on the bottom row is worth 8,676 points alone, enough to complete the 7,500 requirement if we bank it. I'll hold onto it first to ensure I can get a level 5 lightning without it, but it will be a good idea to keep it if possible.
Lets now breed two eggs to see how it works. First I clicked the egg in the upper right, and then I clicked the egg next to it, to the right:
You can see the scores at the bottom, these two eggs are worth 701 and 751 points, and breeding them can get me an egg that's worth 358-27,508 points. Lets gamble, click the second egg again (dungeon) to complete the breed. I got lucky and got a Drifter worth 7,808 as you can see below. Now I need that level 5 lightning dragon. I'm choosing the path below so that I combine 5 eggs, ending on the lightning dragon. If the first 4 produce a lightning element, I'm guaranteed the 5th will since it's breeding with a plain lightning. If not, I may get unlucky and end up with a fire, dark, or earth combo too and fail to get the lightning. But I've still got 2 on the bottom that I can try again with. It's always best to land on something with lightning last, so you're not gambling losing the lighting element in earlier breeds.
I did end up with a loadstone, and banked that and two other dragons. You can see now that the stage is complete:
I now cleaned up the board, tried to get lucky with a few more rare breeds, and banked the best results. Try not to leave eggs stranded in their own row and column until the very end, you don't want to get stuck with a low scoring egg that can't breed up/down or left/right! My end result was 63489 points and enough to clear the stage and open the next, and it was a new high score for me! If you ever click and egg and it was a mistake, just click at the bottom and it will unselect it.
I ran through stage 2, which had only a goal of 20,000 points. That was easy enough with a few lucky breeds, bank those rare dragons! When I opened stage 3, the requirements were harder and I was unlucky on a couple of breeds. I managed to get a score high enough to unlock stage 4, but not complete 3 for the reward:
I can come back and play stage 3 or 4 later, I'll probably continue with 3 first just because the lower stages are generally easier. You can also feel free to try the other 2 towers and play stage 1 there, for an easier reward. Each tower has it's own progression.
I did complete all three towers yesterday, and I found you can just get unlucky on some of the harder stages. For example, I had a requirement for a level 5 cold dragon, among several other requirements. Sometimes when I started the board I would only have 1 single egg with a cold element. In that case, I would pick 4 dragons next it it and combine, and then join to the cold. I kept failing to get the cold element and thus couldn't complete the board. Other tries I would get 3 cold element eggs, and the odds of getting a level 5 cold was much higher.
This is a purely optional game, to give out a few extra bonus pinecones. Don't stress if you don't finish, and if you're just not a fan of the new game, you can completely skip it and earn pinecones through all the other usual ways. But I recommend just giving the first couple levels a shot in each tower, they're pretty easy and hopefully the above can help you get a hang of how to play. I always enjoy new changes to the game, and had a lot of fun running through the tower yesterday and coming up with strategies to complete the stage and earn enough to unlock the next.
If you collect and play your tickets every 2.5 hours, and check throughout the day (most of us can't, we're busy!), you'll get around 35 tickets. There are 3 towers, 5 stages each, so you'll get around 2 attempts per stage if you want to clear everything. The early stages only take 1 attempt usually, so you'll get 3 or so for later ones (or can miss a few tickets). Again, you don't really need to finish - it's just a nice bonus if you can.
Edit: Following up on some questions.
The breeding rules appear to follow standard breeding rules in caves with dragons, with the same odds. The direction of the breed does not matter except on where the egg lands. You always want a way to move the egg another step in case it doesn't end with the right elements or expected score!
Combining two of the same egg will give it an extra level. So far I've seen same + same = same even when doing rares, but haven't done it enough times to confirm. This may break the standard breeding rules if true, or perhaps I'm just getting lucky with double parent clones. More study is needed on my side, and I'll update as I learn more.

Can't say that I'm a great fan of the game, but it's my choice whether I choose to play. I feel bad that DECA is getting flack about it. I know they spent a lot of time to create it and were excited about it's release.

Great intro! One thing, though. I bred a level 2 and a level 1 poison egg earlier and it gave a level 4 egg. This happened with other eggs aswell. Not sure if I'm sleep deprived or that's an extra hack.
^ the above isn't clear. I meant that poison + poison might always result in another poison but with a bonus level. Have not gathered enough evidence to confirm. Neat though in a pinch if true.
"Pure" elements. This is an official complaint. It makes zero sense that combinations such as bubble + metal have a high chance of producing an egg with no metal element at all. Why is this a mechanic.

All the breeding does is check if you meet the criteria of a breed and their percentage. It doesn't pick an element(s) from each side, just throws them all together. I think it could be equally confusing if it always had to have an element from both sides: Bubble + Forge would never create a Fog, for example, in that case. And it gets more complex with Epics and rare non hybrid dragons. I think the method they use is the simplest.
^ the above isn't clear. I meant that poison + poison might always result in another poison but with a bonus level. Have not gathered enough evidence to confirm. Neat though in a pinch if true.
This is explained in the help sections of the game: if you combine two eggs of the same type you get a bonus +1 in levels. So poison 3 + poison 2 = poison 6

Thanks Fletch, appreciate it but I don’t think it’s your job to have to figure it out and then explain it to the rest of us. You don’t get paid for that, DECA does and when they introduce something this complicated and time consuming, they are responsible for educating the players. Again, thanks.
To everyone who has said they completed their Towers, do you mean you unlocked each Chest or you got the green checkmark for each Chest? I did get to the top of each Tower but I can’t seem to get past Chest 2 with the checkmarks. I get so close to having a Metal 5 or a Light 3 and then the next breed eliminates the Metal or Light I was trying for in the first place. I will consume more coffee and read Quil ‘s tips and tricks again. THANKS, Quil!
