Event Overview {#overview}

Sugarfest launched on March 13, 2026 and was announced as a four-week Spring/Easter festival. Primary-source coverage places the main activity end on April 6, 2026, with the event shop window extending through April 10. Later weekly content drops (Waffle Scuffle in Week 2, Jerboa Jam in Week 3, and a Week 4 guinea-pig update) add content on top of the original launch package.

The event takes place on Adoption Island and adds three dedicated activity areas: the Game of Sweets board game, the Cocoa River (home of Cocoa Float), and the Candy Cliffs excavation zone.

The primary event currency is Candy Eggs, used to purchase event items and pets from vendors placed around the festival area.

All New Sugarfest Pets {#new-pets}

According to the official Adopt Me dev blog, four new pets were added at launch. The rarity tiers below are the tiers listed on the Fandom wiki and confirmed in the dev blog patch notes.

Candicorn — Legendary

• How to get: Purchase for 1,000 Robux from the event shop
• Free-to-play path: None directly. Trading with other players is the only non-Robux path
• Notes: This is the single Robux-exclusive pet of the event

Gumball Caterpillar — Ultra-Rare

• How to get: Earn 5 Gumballs by completing full laps on the Game of Sweets board — each completed loop awards 1 Gumball, and the Gumballs combine into the pet
• Free-to-play path: Yes, fully earnable through normal play
• Notes: Requires patience — you can only roll a limited number of times per day, so plan several days of board play

Gummy Guana — Rare

• How to get: Use 7 Candy Chisels at the Candy Cliffs to chip through the rock-candy layers and free the pet inside
• Candy Chisel cost: 6,500 Candy Eggs each from the event shop (Candy Chisels are themselves classified Uncommon on the wiki)
• Total Candy Eggs required: 45,500 Candy Eggs if you buy every chisel (some chisels drop for free from Game of Sweets tiles, which reduces the real cost)
• Free-to-play path: Yes, earnable through Candy Egg farming

Cocoadile — Uncommon

• How to get: Purchase for 14,000 Candy Eggs at the Cocoa Campfire at night, near the Cocoa River riverbank
• Important: Earlier community posts (including a previous version of this guide) described the Cocoadile as Rare and as a free campfire reward. Both were wrong — it is Uncommon, and it costs 14,000 Candy Eggs. The night-only purchase window is a real mechanic, so plan to visit during the in-game night cycle
• Free-to-play path: Yes, but expect a meaningful Candy Egg grind

Candy Eggs Currency Guide {#candy-eggs}

Candy Eggs are the primary event currency. Based on the dev blog and Fandom coverage, they are earned through:

1. Game of Sweets tiles — certain board-game tiles award Candy Eggs as the player lands on them
2. Cocoa Float river runs — Candy Eggs spawn along the river route and can be collected while riding a donut or vehicle down the stream
3. Candy Cliffs layer drops — excavating rock-candy layers yields bonus Candy Eggs alongside other items
4. Daily activities and tasks — routine in-game actions (pet care and daily tasks) contribute to the event economy

Because exact per-action egg yields vary and are not documented in a single authoritative table, the most reliable strategy is to rotate between all three activity zones rather than grinding only one.

Confirmed Candy Egg prices

Other items (Sugar Dice, cosmetics, Mystery Candy Box) were present in the event shop but individual prices are not consistently documented across primary sources, so they have been omitted rather than guessed.

Game of Sweets Mini-Game {#game-of-sweets}

The Game of Sweets is a candy-themed board game you move across by rolling Sugar Dice.

How to Play

1. Go to the Game of Sweets board in the festival area
2. Roll Sugar Dice and advance across the board one tile at a time
3. Collect the reward for the tile you land on
4. Complete a full loop to earn 1 Gumball — 5 Gumballs combine into the Gumball Caterpillar pet

Confirmed tile rewards

The dev blog confirms that Game of Sweets tiles reward a mix of Candy Eggs, Sugar, Custom Caramel Dice, Bucks, Candy Chisels, and other items. Exact per-tile values are not published in a consolidated table, so this guide does not list specific egg-per-tile numbers.

---

Cocoa Float River Ride {#cocoa-float}

Cocoa Float is a ride-along minigame set on the chocolate river.

How to Play

1. Head to the Cocoa River area
2. Ride a donut or equipped vehicle down the river
3. Collect Candy Eggs along the route
4. Avoid the NPC Cocoadiles patrolling the river — they knock donut riders backward on contact

Tips

• Equipping a vehicle (rather than the default donut) lets you pass through Cocoadile collisions without being knocked back, according to secondary-source guides
• The Cocoa Campfire near the riverbank is where the Cocoadile pet is purchased at night for 14,000 Candy Eggs

---

Candy Cliffs Excavation {#candy-cliffs}

Candy Cliffs is the excavation activity that gates the Gummy Guana pet.

How to Play

1. Buy Candy Chisels from the event shop at 6,500 Candy Eggs each
2. Go to the Candy Cliffs area
3. Spend 7 chisels chipping away at layers of rock candy
4. Freeing the Gummy Guana inside adds the pet to your inventory

Confirmed layer rewards

The dev blog states that excavation also yields Bucks, bonus Dice, Honey Candy, and Tiny Age-Up Potions alongside the Gummy Guana. Exact per-layer drop values are not broken out in the official patch notes, so this guide does not publish a per-layer reward table (earlier versions of this post included a fabricated table, which has been removed).

Best Farming Strategies {#strategies}

These are general strategies based on how the Candy Egg economy is structured. They are recommendations, not guaranteed drop rates.

Priority order for free-to-play players

1. Game of Sweets laps — every lap gives you a Gumball, directly building toward the Gumball Caterpillar
2. Candy Chisels — start buying chisels as soon as you can afford them. You need 7 total for the Gummy Guana
3. Cocoadile — 14,000 Candy Eggs is a sizeable single payment, so this is typically the last pet you target

Rotate activities

Because Candy Eggs drop from all three zones (Game of Sweets tiles, Cocoa Float routes, Candy Cliffs layers), rotating between them is more efficient than grinding only one. It also keeps daily task variety high.

Nighttime reminder

The Cocoadile is only purchasable at the Cocoa Campfire during the in-game night cycle. Plan your 14,000-egg payment so you are ready to buy when night arrives rather than holding the eggs through a missed window.

Trading Value Notes {#trading-notes}

An earlier version of this post included a numeric table predicting future trading values for each Sugarfest pet. Adopt Me trading values are determined by the community, fluctuate constantly, and cannot be reliably forecast. That table was removed.

If you want a current read on trading demand, check live community value lists on sites like Supreme Values, Adopt Me Trading Values (AMTV), or Traderie. Treat any single source's number as a snapshot, not an authoritative price.

General, non-numeric observations supported by how Adopt Me limited-pet economies have historically behaved:

• Candicorn is Legendary and Robux-exclusive, which is the usual recipe for sustained long-term demand once the event retires. Initial supply is high because anyone can buy one during the event window
• Gumball Caterpillar is Ultra-Rare and free-to-play earnable, meaning supply at event end will reflect how many players completed five full board laps
• Gummy Guana is Rare and free-to-play earnable, with supply gated by the 7-chisel Candy Egg cost
• Cocoadile is Uncommon, free-to-play earnable at 14,000 eggs, and subject to the night-only purchase window — which may reduce supply slightly compared to its Uncommon tier

None of the above are price predictions. Actual trading values will depend on event participation, post-event demand, and trading-community sentiment, all of which are outside the scope of this guide.

FAQ {#faq}

When does Sugarfest end?

The main event launched March 13, 2026 and runs four weeks. Primary sources place the main event close on April 6, 2026, with an extended shop window to April 13, 2026. Grab any remaining Candy Egg purchases before the shop closes.

Can I get the Candicorn without Robux?

Not directly. The Candicorn is a 1,000 Robux purchase from the event shop. The only non-Robux path is trading for one from another player.

How many Gumballs do I need for the Gumball Caterpillar?

Five Gumballs. You earn one Gumball for each full lap completed on the Game of Sweets board.

How many Candy Chisels do I need for the Gummy Guana?

Seven Candy Chisels, used at Candy Cliffs. At 6,500 Candy Eggs per chisel from the event shop, that is 45,500 Candy Eggs if you buy every chisel yourself. Some chisels can drop free from Game of Sweets tiles, which reduces the effective cost.

How do I get the Cocoadile?

Purchase it for 14,000 Candy Eggs at the Cocoa Campfire near the Cocoa River, during the in-game night cycle. It is Uncommon rarity, not Rare, and there is no free campfire reward path.

Will Sugarfest pets come back next year?

Adopt Me's standard pattern is that event pets retire after the event ends. Reissues do happen in limited circumstances (for example, in commemorative sub-events), but the baseline expectation is that Sugarfest pets will be unavailable through normal gameplay after April 13, 2026.
