Fake an Egg Roblox: How to Scan Eggs

In Fake an Egg, not every egg sitting in the yard is an egg. Other players can disguise themselves as one and wait for someone to walk up, so buying blind is a gamble. A scanner removes that gamble. It tells you whether an egg is real before you pay for it, and it works on any egg up to the rarity of the scanner you own.

Quick answer: Buy a scanner at the SCANNERS stall, equip it from hotbar slot 2, walk up to an egg, and press E at the [E] Scan prompt. Green “REAL” text above the egg means it’s safe to buy.

Where to buy a scanner in Fake an Egg

Scanners come from a purple booth labelled SCANNERS, which sits right next to the Weather Machine in the main yard. Walk up to it to open the Scanners menu, where every tier is listed with a short description and its current stock.

Stock is limited and resets on a timer. The countdown sits at the top of the menu as “Refreshes in” followed by the time left. When a scanner’s stock hits x0, it shows as “Sold Out” until the next refresh, so if the tier you want is gone, wait out the timer and check back.

Scanner tiers and rebirth requirements

Each scanner checks eggs of its own rarity and everything below it. A Rare Scanner, for example, can verify Common, Uncommon, and Rare eggs, but not an Epic one. Higher tiers are locked behind your Rebirth level.

Scanner	Checks eggs up to	Rebirth needed	Example egg
Common Scanner	Common	None listed	Dog Egg
Uncommon Scanner	Uncommon	None listed	Parrot Egg
Rare Scanner	Rare	Rebirth 3	Hyena Egg
Epic Scanner	Epic	Rebirth 5	Mammoth Egg
Legendary Scanner	Legendary	Rebirth 8	Swordfish Egg
Mythic Scanner	Mythic	Rebirth 12	Wyvern Egg
Secret Scanner	Secret	Rebirth 16	—
Exotic Scanner	Exotic	Rebirth 20	—
Divine Scanner	Divine	Rebirth 24	—

The rarity of an egg is printed in the tag floating above it, along with its name and price. Match that rarity against your scanner before you try to scan. Pricier eggs sit higher up the ladder: a Common Dog Egg costs $96, while a Mythic Wyvern Egg runs $110.0M, which is exactly where a fake would hurt most.

How to scan an egg

Equip the scanner from your hotbar. It lands in slot 2 after you buy it, so press that slot to hold it.

Walk into the open field where eggs spawn and pick one that hasn’t been scanned yet. Get close enough that an interaction prompt appears next to it.

Press E when the [E] Scan prompt shows up. The scanner runs on the egg right away.

Look above the egg for the verdict. A real egg gets green text reading “REAL” floating over it.

Buy the egg once it’s confirmed. Press E at the [E] Buy prompt to pick it up.

Carry the egg back to your own pen, which is marked with a white fence outline and your username on the sign. Press E at the [E] DROP prompt to place it inside so it can hatch.

How to confirm the scan worked

You’ll know the scan went through when the verdict text appears over the egg instead of just its name and price tag. “REAL” in green is the green light to buy. After you drop the egg in your pen, it sits there until it’s ready, at which point a Hatch option appears and the egg turns into the animal it names, earning cash per second from then on.

Hatching runs at double speed at night, shown on the HUD as “NIGHT Hatch Speed x2”, so verified eggs dropped into your pen after dark finish faster.
