Prodigy epics guide: toys, figures and in game epics

Epics are the rarest and most powerful pets in Prodigy Math Game. There are two kinds: the original Epics, which started life as physical toy figures with a code in the box, and the Mythical Epics, which appear in the game itself as monthly quests. This guide explains what an Epic is, lists all nine original Epics, shows how the toy codes work, and explains how to get Epics in the game today.

What is an Epic in Prodigy

An Epic is a special pet in Prodigy Math Game. Ordinary pets are caught by battling them in the world, but Epics were always different: they are stronger than regular pets, they look different, and they were originally tied to something outside the game. Epics help in the hardest parts of the game, including epic quests and boss battles, because a strong pet makes a real difference when the maths questions get harder. The full list of pets and where to find them is in the Prodigy pets list: all pets and where to find them, and Epics sit at the top of that list. If you are new to pets in general, start with the Prodigy epic pets guide, which explains how epic pets work in battle.

The nine original Epics

There are nine regular Epic pets in total, known as the Original Epics. Five of them are animals and creatures: Florafox, Arctursus, Big Hex, Diveodile and Magmischief. The other four are dragons: Tidus, Eclipse, Luma and Chill & Char. Each Epic has its own element and its own look, and players collect them the way other players collect rare cards: one at a time, and with pride. The dragons among the Epics are close cousins of the great dragons of Dragon Isle, which are covered in the Prodigy dragons guide. There are also other types of Epics, called Mythical Epics, which are released monthly to players and are not counted among the original nine.

Prodigy Epics toys and figures

The original Epics began as physical toys. Each Epic had its own figurine, sold in a box, and the figure itself was the collectible: a small model of Florafox, Big Hex, Tidus, Luma, Diveodile, Arctursus or one of the others, made to sit on a shelf. Buying the toy was the official way to get the Epic in the game. The toys were sold through the official Prodigy shop, and each box held a code. That code was the bridge between the shelf and the screen: type it in, and the matching Epic joined your team in the game. The figures are collectibles in their own right now, and second hand boxes still turn up, but a code from a box that has already been used will not work twice, so a used figure is decoration only.

How to redeem an Epic code

Redeeming an Epic code is simple, but the code itself is the hard part to get. Open the toy box and look at the top inside the lid: the code is printed there. Then go to prodigygame.com/unlock and log in. The game opens with a pop up box where you type in the code, and the Epic is added to your account. The Epic starts at level 20, which makes it useful straight away, even for a newer player. A few warnings matter here. First, each code works once, so a code shared in a video or on a forum has almost certainly been used already. Second, never pay a stranger for a code you cannot check first: if the code is already used, there is no refund and no way to get the Epic back. Third, only codes from real Epic toy boxes work this way; random strings posted online as “cheat codes” are not real, and typing them in will only waste your time.

Mythical Epics in the game

Mythical Epics are the in game cousins of the original Epics. They are released monthly to players, and each one is found through a quest, not a toy box. The usual route is to find Ulla, a character who points you toward the Mythical Epic: follow the sparkles on screen to find it, then battle it to start taming it. Once you have tamed your Mythical Epic, you can add it to your team from the Pet Book. Mythical Epics rotate, so one that is available this month may not be available next month, and one you missed may return later. They are the fairest way to get an Epic today, because they cost nothing but time, maths questions and a good battle plan.

How to get Epics today

The toy boxes are no longer the only way in. The original Epics are now obtainable in other ways: they are given to members through player Mail, and they appear as Login Rewards on the 14th slot, hatching at varying levels. Epic themed hats and wands are also sold at Wandering Wares, for players who want the look even without the pet. So a player today has three honest routes to an Epic: buy a new toy box and redeem its code, watch for an original Epic in member Mail or Login Rewards, or chase the monthly Mythical Epic quest. None of them is instant, and that is the point: an Epic is meant to feel earned. Play every day, answer your questions well, check your Mail and your Login Rewards, and the Epics will come.
