If there's one thing you can say about Grimm's Hatchery - it's by no means another "me too" clone, such as a 3-in-a-row puzzle knock-off or waitressing micromanagement game.

Instead, Amaranth Games' Grimm's Hatchery is a magical pet simulation set in the same role-playing game (RPG) universe as its popular Aveyond.

But while it's certainly a unique concept, it isn't the most exciting casual game to click through.

A few tips

* Tip: Each egg has a 1 in 6 chance of hatching.
* Note: Your difficulty level determines what your pets are worth. In Easy mode, pets are worth 70% of their purchase price, in Medium mode, 60%, and in Insane mode, 50%.
* Note: Pets that lay eggs you should sell usually lay eggs at the fastest rate. However, these fast egg layers require more maintenance, so you will need to feed them often and keep them safe from monsters.

Pet Zapping Hints

* Blue dragonfly Egg Green dragonfly egg = Green dragon egg
* Red dragonfly egg Gryphon egg = Ruby gryphon egg
* Red dragonfly egg Green dragon egg= Purple Dragon egg
* Gold dragonfly egg Goose egg = Gold goose egg
* Gold dragonfly egg Icebird egg = Firebird

Getting the Lightning Rod

* The Lightning Rod is a secret weapon that is not available in any store. The Lighting Rod is so powerful that it will kill a monster with one click. If you perform some good deeds for a merchant's sisters, he will sell the Lightning Rod to you.
* In Pemberly Keep, take the ruby ring.
* Give the ruby ring to Metilda and she'll be grateful.
* Buy an Ice Gryphon from Hatir in the noble sector. (Again, I'd recommend buying 2 or 3.)
* Go to Pemberly Keep and collect the Ice Gryphon eggs that the Ice Gryphon(s) lay.
* See Metilda's sister (Genevieve) and offer her one Ice Gryphon egg. (You only need to give her one.)
* Talk to Aldab and choose the gossip option. He'll mention that you have been generous to his sisters and will now reveal his secret stash of weapons. Then choose buy items and you should now see the Lightning Rod available for purchase.
