Pet Picks
Three pets, three covered dishes. Watch who wants what, call the dish they will match, and earn up to +30% on the payout when you are right. 25 rounds a day, stakes of 10, 25, 50 or 100 MPC.
Pet Picks is played at a picnic table. Three pets sit behind three covered dishes; the cloches lift, each pet looks the dishes over, and then every pet grabs one. Two or three pets on the same dish pays, and if you call the dish they end up matching, your payout is boosted. It is the one game on MiroPets where a round can cost you coins, so treat your stake as money you are actually risking.

A round, step by step
- Deal. Choose a stake of 10, 25, 50 or 100 MPC. It leaves your balance the moment the table is set.
- The sniff. Each pet looks at every dish in turn and lingers longest at the one it craves. A pet grabs the dish it craves about 60% of the time; the other two dishes get about 20% each.
- The call. You have 20 seconds to tap the dish you think at least two pets will match. You can also choose Let them pick and take the round without a call (and without a bonus).
- The grab. The pets hop onto the table and take their dishes. Two or three on one dish is a match; three different dishes loses the stake.
Your active pet takes the middle seat if it is an adult. The other two seats go to your friends' adult pets when you have any, otherwise to visiting species.
Payouts
What comes back is your stake multiplied by the result, based on the rarity of the matched dish:
| Result | Common | Rare | Epic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three-way match | 1.5× | 2× | 3× |
| Two-way match | 1× | 1.1× | 1.4× |
| No match | Stake lost |
Roughly two rounds in three end in a two-way match, one in nine in a three-way, and a little over one in five is a miss. A common two-way returns exactly your stake; the rare and epic dishes are where the game pays.
Coin boosts multiply match payouts. Your active pet earns 25 XP for a three-way or 10 for a two-way, plus a little more for a larger stake and +5 XP for a correct call.
Calling it right
- A correct call multiplies the match payout: +10% on a two-way, +30% on a three-way.
- Correct calls in a row build a streak: each one adds +2% to your next correct call, up to +10% after 5.
- A wrong call on a round that did match resets the streak. A miss (no match at all) and Let them pick leave the streak alone.
- Your call cannot change what the pets grab. Every pick is decided the moment the table is dealt, before you see anything.
Favorite foods
When your pet's favorite food is on the table (about one round in 5, once the pet has one), it craves that dish 85% of the time. If you have already discovered the favorite, the dish wears a Fav tag during the call. If you have not, the pet's unusually strong reaction is the hint.
The progressive jackpot
- A growing pot sits above the table. Only 100 MPC stakes are eligible, and an eligible round has a 1 in 500 chance of taking it.
- Every missed round adds 25% of the lost stake to the pot; after a win it starts again at 1,000 MPC.
- The jackpot pays exactly what is displayed. Coin boosts and calls do not change it.
Win the dish
A three-way match on a 100 MPC stake where the matched dish is a shop food priced up to 500 MPC puts one of it in your backpack, on top of the coins.
Plays and leaving a round
- You get 25 rounds a day, reset at midnight MPT. VIP members get 2 extra. A round counts when it is dealt.
- Leave in the middle of a round and it settles as Let them pick the next time you open the game (or after 10 minutes). You never lose the base payout, only the chance at the bonus.
Good habits
- Watch all three pets, not just yours. The dish that two pets linger over is the one to call.
- Only stake what you would be happy to lose. Over enough rounds the misses add up; the call bonus is what tilts the table back your way.
- Learn your pet's favorite. It is the strongest tell in the game, and it only helps you.
- If you want the jackpot, you must stake 100. Smaller stakes are never eligible.
