The Grow a Garden Anubis Event Part 2 starts at 3:00 AM on Sunday 15 November on the game’s own clock, which is 21:30 UTC on Saturday 14 November. The game puts the card in front of you before you can miss it: open EVENT NOTIFY in the top-right corner of the lobby and the panel counts the update down to the second.
Quick answer: the countdown read “Update In: 6 Hours and 49 Minutes” at 8:11 PM India time on Saturday 14 November, and the card above it says “Sun, Nov 15 at 3:00 AM”. Both point at the same moment: 03:00 on Sunday 15 November IST, 21:30 UTC on Saturday 14 November, 4:30 PM Eastern and 1:30 PM Pacific.
What the game says Anubis Part 2 adds
The card carries its own description, and it is short enough to quote in full:
This update introduces the second part of the Anubis Event, various activities to participate in, new plants, pets, fence, rewards, QOL, and lots more to discover!
Grow a Garden, “ANUBIS PART 2” event card
That is the whole of what the game has said so far. New plants and new pets are named, a fence is named, and “QOL” means quality-of-life changes rather than content. The game has not published prices, hatch odds or a list of the new plants and pets, and it has not said whether the Anubis Coin Shop changes or keeps the eleven items it has now. Anyone publishing those numbers before the update lands is guessing.
Part 1, for comparison, arrived on 8 November and shipped the sandstorm weather, the Hieroglyphic mutation, Trader Tina’s coin shop, Archeologist Archie’s dig site and the Anubis Egg. That is the scale to expect: Part 2 is a second content drop in the same place, not a new event.
When Anubis Part 2 starts, in your time zone
The game shows the time on the clock of the machine you are playing on, so the same moment prints differently for everyone. This is the table for 21:30 UTC on Saturday 14 November:
| Time zone | Local time Anubis Part 2 starts |
|---|---|
| India (IST) | 3:00 AM, Sunday 15 November |
| UTC / UK (GMT) | 9:30 PM, Saturday 14 November |
| Central Europe (CET) | 10:30 PM, Saturday 14 November |
| US Eastern (EST) | 4:30 PM, Saturday 14 November |
| US Central (CST) | 3:30 PM, Saturday 14 November |
| US Mountain (MST) | 2:30 PM, Saturday 14 November |
| US Pacific (PST) | 1:30 PM, Saturday 14 November |
| Brazil (BRT) | 6:30 PM, Saturday 14 November |
| Philippines (PHT) | 5:30 AM, Sunday 15 November |
| Japan (JST) | 6:30 AM, Sunday 15 November |
| Australia, Sydney (AEDT) | 8:30 AM, Sunday 15 November |
Treat the in-game countdown as the authority rather than this table. Grow a Garden has moved an update by a few minutes before, and the panel in the game recalculates itself. The table is the time the countdown in the game was pointing at when it was read.
How to see the countdown in game
What to do before the update lands
- Spend or keep your Anubis Coins on purpose. Coins come only from selling Hieroglyphic fruit to Trader Tina, and the sandstorm that applies the mutation comes around once an hour. If you have been saving, decide before the shop’s stock resets rather than after.
- Push your excavation count. Almost every item in the shop is locked behind a number of Ancient Archeology digs, from one for the Hieroglyph Carpet up to fifteen for the Hiero Scorpion. Those digs also pay out Anubis Eggs at finds 5, 8, 12 and 19.
- Hatch what you already own. The Anubis Egg takes four hours and the Anubis Crate one hour, so an egg bought tonight is a pet hatched by the time Part 2 opens.
- Finish any trade you have open. The dig site refuses to start while you have a trade running, and an update landing mid-trade is a bad time to find that out.
What the game has not said is whether Part 2 resets any of that. It has not said whether coins carry into the new shop, whether the Anubis Egg changes, or whether the eleven current items stay. We will check each of those after the update rather than guess at them now.
What we will add once it goes live
Part 2 is a content drop, so the useful pages after 21:30 UTC are the ones with the numbers in them. We will update three posts in this cluster as soon as the new build is readable: every item in the Anubis Coin Shop with prices and unlocks, the Anubis Egg and every hatch chance, and the Anubis event pets tier list.
For everything Part 1 added, the Part 1 update post covers the sandstorm, the relics, the dig site and the crate in one place.
Anubis Part 2 FAQ
Is Anubis Part 2 confirmed? Yes. The game itself carries the card, the date and a live countdown, so it is the game’s own announcement rather than a leak.
Does my progress carry over? Your garden, your digs and your coins live in your save, not in the event screen, so they are not reset by a lobby countdown. Whether the Part 2 shop uses the same coins is a separate question and the game has not answered it.
Do I need to be online when it starts? No. The update is applied to the game, so it is there the next time you join. Being online only means you see the new content a few minutes earlier and avoid the first rush of players in heavily populated servers.
Will the Anubis Event end at the same time? The card announces the start of Part 2 and says nothing about an end date for the event. Part 1 went up six days earlier, on 8 November, and nothing in the game currently dates the finish.
