Grow a Garden Anubis Event: Sandstorms, Coins, Archaeology and Rewards

The Grow a Garden Anubis Event began on Saturday, 7 November 2026, bringing a sandy new area, a shop with its own currency, and a 20-stage excavation challenge. The main update went live at 9:30 PM GMT, and the event listing is scheduled to end on Saturday, 14 November at 9 PM GMT.

If you’ve just joined after Ghoul Garden, the quickest place to start is the market. You’ll find both new characters close together, so you can earn Anubis Coins and work towards unlocking the better shop rewards during the same session. Here’s where to go and what to tackle first.

Where to find the Grow a Garden Anubis Event

Use the SELL shortcut at the top of your screen, then walk west from the selling area. Look for the patch of sand, palms and pyramid scenery. Trader Tina stands at the purple-and-yellow striped stall nearest the market; Archeologist Archie is farther west by the dig site.

Tina handles the new currency and shop. Archie wants fruit with particular plant traits, and each excavation you finish unlocks more of Tina’s stock. You don’t need to teleport elsewhere or start a separate game mode. The event takes place inside the regular Grow a Garden experience.

Grow a Garden Anubis Event sandstorm schedule

During the Grow a Garden Anubis Event, sandstorms start at the beginning of each UTC hour and last 10 minutes. They can give unharvested fruit the Hieroglyphic mutation, which triples the fruit’s normal sale value. Not every fruit gets it, so check your crops after the storm.

Leave a good number of crops growing before the countdown reaches zero. Watch the event timer in your own server rather than assuming every server will show the same remaining minutes. When the storm finishes, inspect your fruit or inventory for the Hieroglyphic label before deciding what to harvest and trade.

It’s worth growing cheap, fast crops as well as expensive ones. A cheap mutated Carrot is useful for event currency, while a much more valuable mutated harvest might be better sold for Sheckles. That choice is one of the most important parts of the Grow a Garden Anubis Event.

How to earn and spend Anubis Coins

Trader Tina accepts Hieroglyphic fruit and pays Anubis Coins in return. Hold a mutated fruit, speak to Tina and choose the option to submit the fruit you’re holding, or choose the separate option to hand in all eligible Hieroglyphic fruit. Check what you’re trading before submitting everything, particularly if you want to keep a valuable harvest.

Her coin shop sells 11 items. The first is the Wraproot Seed for 60 Anubis Coins, available without completing any excavations. Later unlocks include the Hieroglyphic Radar, Papyrus Seed, Anubis Egg, Pharaoh’s Eye Seed and Hiero Scorpion pet. Stock refreshes hourly, and a sold-out card isn’t a permanent unlock failure.

The green coin purchase option uses earned event currency. Purple Robux purchase options and the shop’s paid or Sheckle-funded refresh shortcuts aren’t needed to take part. Our Anubis Coins guide explains the trading steps, while the Anubis Coin Shop price list covers the unlocks.

Ancient Archeology rewards at Archeologist Archie

The other half of the Grow a Garden Anubis Event is Archie’s excavation track. He asks for a plant trait, not one fixed plant species. For example, when his thought bubble asks for Root plants, you must bring harvested crops that have the Root trait. His requested trait changes every 30 minutes.

Progress is measured by the total weight you submit, not the number of fruit. The first excavation requires 8 kg; the final, twentieth find asks for 750 kg. Rewards along the way include Anubis Crates, Hieroglyphic gear, seeds and Anubis Eggs. Completing finds also raises the excavation count that unlocks Trader Tina’s shop items.

Pay attention to the countdown before harvesting a large amount for Archie. If the requested trait is about to rotate, it can be smarter to wait and see what he asks for next. Our Ancient Archeology rewards guide lists every weight target and prize in order.

Anubis Relics and the eight obelisks

Anubis appears during every other hourly sandstorm. When the announcement says he has arrived, eight obelisks land around the map. Walk up to an uncharged pillar and hold E until its counter reaches 10 and it displays Charged!. Progress is shared across the server, so everyone can help finish the eight pillars.

Once all eight are charged, the Scales of Ma’at relic awakens and gives a 1.2x plant-selling bonus until that sandstorm ends. The bonus applies when selling crops for Sheckles, so sell during the active window rather than assuming it’ll still be there afterwards. Read the on-screen message in case the relic effect changes in a later update.

Grow a Garden Anubis Event pets, eggs and seeds

The Grow a Garden Anubis Event introduces four pets inside the Anubis Egg: Apshait, Uraeus, Bennu and Ancient Sphinx. There’s a fifth new pet, too, but Hiero Scorpion doesn’t hatch from the egg. It’s a separate coin-shop purchase unlocked after 15 excavations.

Players can obtain the egg from Tina for 3,000 Anubis Coins after six excavations, subject to stock, or earn eggs on Archie’s reward track. The Anubis Egg guide has the four hatch percentages and both ways of getting one.

New seeds include Wraproot, Papyrus, Pharaoh’s Eye and the limited Anubis Bramble at the regular Seed Shop, alongside seeds awarded by Archie. If you want an early goal, start with the free excavation track, then trade spare Hieroglyphic fruit for your first Wraproot.

When does the Grow a Garden Anubis Event end?

The Grow a Garden Anubis Event is scheduled to end at 9 PM GMT on Saturday, 14 November 2026 (4 PM EST / 1 PM PST). The next main game update is listed for 9:30 PM GMT that evening, but its theme has not been announced. An event listing’s end time does not prove exactly which individual rewards will remain obtainable afterwards, so finish any time-limited goals before the listed deadline.

The Grow a Garden Anubis Event can be played without buying Robux. Grow qualifying fruit, use each hourly sandstorm, trade the mutated harvest you don’t need, and keep completing Archie’s excavations. That loop steadily opens the more expensive shop items without confusing the coin shop with the separate archaeology rewards.
