Grow a Brainrot First Hour Gameplay Guide: Beginner Tips & Walkthrough

Your First Hour in Grow a Brainrot 🎮

This guide walks you through a real first-hour gameplay session in Grow a Brainrot, complete with tips to avoid common mistakes and maximize your early earnings!

The First Roll: Getting Your Starter Brainrot

When you enter the game, your first task is to roll for a brainrot. Here's what you need to know:

Rolling Strategy for Beginners

Click the Roll button to see 3 random brainrots

Look for affordable options - early game cash is limited

Don't worry about rarity yet - focus on any brainrot you can buy

Beginner Tip: Your first brainrot doesn't need to be rare. A cheap Common or Uncommon is perfect to start earning money!

Making Your First Purchase

Walk up to the brainrot you want

Press E to buy it

The cost varies based on rarity (Common = cheaper, Rare = expensive)

Step 2: Planting & Starting Earnings

After your first purchase:

Go to your base - Return to your designated area

Select the brainrot - Use number keys (1, 2, 3) for quick selection

Place it strategically - Don't put expensive brainrots near the door!

- Thieves can easily steal from slot positions close to your gate - Place valuable brainrots deeper in your base

First Money Collection

Stand on the money button in your base to collect your earnings. Even this first brainrot will generate cash per second!

Important: Collect regularly - this funds future purchases and upgrades.

Step 3: The Critical First Defensive Action - LOCK YOUR BASE! 🔒

This is the most important step beginners forget:

Why Locking Matters

Other players can walk into an unlocked base

They can steal ANY brainrot you have

You lose those brainrots permanently

How to Lock for Free

Stand on the red button near your gate

Your base is locked for 1 minute (completely FREE)

Repeat this every minute or upgrade to 24-hour lock (49 Robux)

Common Beginner Mistake: Forgetting to lock your base! Always lock before:

Going AFK

Exploring other areas

Fighting other players

Step 4: Building Your Second Brainrot + First Upgrade

Once you have enough cash:

Getting a Second Brainrot

Roll again and purchase another one. Diversification helps:

If one gets stolen, you still earn money

Different rarities have different earning rates

More brainrots = more total income

Upgrading Your First Brainrot (Advanced)

You can upgrade individual brainrots to boost their earnings:

Find the brainrot in your base

Interact with it to see upgrade costs

Each upgrade increases $/second significantly

Early Game Tip: Prioritize buying more brainrots over upgrading initially. More sources of income > higher individual earnings early on.

Understanding the Evolution System 📊

As time passes, your brainrots automatically evolve:

Stage	Appearance	Earnings	Time*

👶 Baby	Small & cute	1x earnings	Start
🧒 Teen	Growing	~1.5x earnings	Several hours
🧑 Adult	Full size	~2x earnings	More hours
👹 Monster	Mutated	~3x earnings	Many hours
💀 Dead	Final form	~5x earnings	Very long

*Times vary based on brainrot type; check your specific brainrot!

Why It Matters: A brainrot in Dead form earns 5x more than the same one as Baby! Keep them for the long term.

PvP in First Hour: Should You Attack Other Bases?

When You Encounter Other Players' Bases

You'll see locked or unlocked bases from other players. You can:

Attack an unlocked base - Try to steal their brainrots

Attack a locked base - Spend 49 Robux to unlock and raid

First Hour PvP Reality Check

Most new players have very few/weak brainrots

Spending Robux to raid usually isn't worth it early game

Focus on your own base instead

Beginner Strategy: Don't spend Robux on raids in your first hour. Build your own base stronger first!

Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid ❌

Not locking your base - Results in total loss of brainrots

Placing expensive brainrots near the door - Makes them easy targets

Spending all cash on one brainrot - Better to diversify

Upgrading before you have multiple brainrots - Spread income sources first

Going AFK without locking - Even 5 minutes of no lock = potential loss

Wasting Robux on locks early - Free 1-minute locks are sufficient at first

Ignoring the brainrot index - You might miss collection opportunities

Game Bugs & Edge Cases You Might Encounter 🐛

Getting Stuck in Terrain

Sometimes you can fall through the floor or get stuck in a brainrot

Solution: Wait for a respawn option or reset the game

Brainrot Not Responding to Upgrades

If a brainrot won't upgrade despite having enough cash

Solution: Try clicking it again, or place a different one nearby

Money Collection Lag

Large numbers sometimes display oddly on screen

Solution: The money is still calculating correctly in backend

Pro Tip: These bugs are rare and usually temporary. Report them in the official Discord!
