Playground

The playground is a small area access by the hub in the main area. This area can be scrolled along in a 360 degree method.

Moving Pokémon into this area will fill up the gauge to help your Egg hatch. You can move up to 6 Pokémon that you have hatched onto the various amenities of the Playground such as swings, floating devices, treehouses and so forth.

Lounge

The lounge is accessed at the stairs going upwards to the left and contains two different areas. Accessing the bar brings you feeding time mini-game whereas the bed area will allow for you to clean your Pokémon

Lounge - Feeding Time

In this mini-game, you have to feed the Pokémon. At the bottom of the screen, a selection of berries will randomly scroll through while three Pokémon request different berries. You need to drag the berry to the associate Pokémon that wants it. When you have finished feeding all three Pokémon, the Egg will crack a little and the game will repeat itself

Lounge - Grooming Pokémon

In this mini-game, your Pokémon will come in having various afflictions such as being covered in dirt, covered in dust or injured. Your task is to determine what items to use on each of the Pokémon

A scuff mark - This Pokémon requires a plaster
Water - This Pokémon requires use of a hair dryer
Fluff - This Pokémon requires use of a brush to remove the fluff
Dirt - This Pokémon requires use of the sponge to remove the dirt, then a hose to remove the bubbles, then the hair dryer to dry it

Each clean Pokémon increases the Egg hatch gauge by a third.

Playroom

The Playroom is found downstairs and has got three different activities to participate in, all of which aid in the obtaining of Eggs. First up, at the bookcase, is three special story books. These are short stories focused on specific Pokémon and, upon completion, will hatch your Eggs

Playroom - Flashlight Tag

This mini-game has you search through a dark area to hunt for the silhouetted Pokémon. Each Pokémon you find will boost the Egg hatching gauge by 1/6th. Completion of the hunt will have your Egg crack a little and the mini-game will start over with new Pokémon.

Tower

The tower is accessed by the stairs in the far area of the hub and provides two different activities - Search the Stars & Pokémon Tunes.

Tower - Search the Stars

This mini-game is accessed through the telescope in the tower. This game has you go through the stars to look at constellations. For each constellation, you need to match the brightest stars and draw lines between them to make basic geometric shapes that then make up the constellation of a Pokémon. From there, you need to colour the Pokémon in. This will fill the Egg gauge and cause the Egg to crack a little more.

This is the most efficient method to hatch your eggs.

Tower - Pokémon Tunes

This mini-game is accessed through the stage in the tower. This game has you create music by tapping the Pokémon. At the bottom you will see a musical sheet of Pokémon sounds and you need to tape each Pokémon in the correct order. Doing this will fill the Egg gauge half way and you then listen to the Pokémon sing the song, which fills the Egg Gauge further.
