Scritchy Scratchy Gadgets Explained
Gadgets automate buying, scratching and collecting tickets. The main ones are Scratch Bot, the Fan, the Egg Timer, the subscriber bot and Mundo the cat. Scratch Bot scratches queued tickets; the Fan can feed it faster than it clears, so run the Fan in bursts. Mundo collects tickets too, and without Picky Eater or a trash can he will also take losing ones.
Gadget behaviour is described by community guides and recordings; official screenshots confirm the items exist. What carries over after Prestige is not confirmed in the sources read.

The gadgets on the table
Community guides list a trash can, sticky mat, badge collection, Scratch Bot, fan, Mundo, Spell Book, subscriber bot, Egg Timer and the Machine. Each removes a manual step: buying, scratching, collecting or speeding up.
The practical order is the one that removes the action you repeat most. Early on that is scratching; later it is buying and collecting enough tickets to keep the bot busy.
Scratch Bot and the Fan: throughput
Scratch Bot works through a queue. The Fan blows tickets onto the table quickly, and if it runs continuously the queue backs up and the bot cannot keep pace.
Run the Fan in bursts, then let the bot clear. This keeps income smooth and avoids a table full of unscratched tickets when a run needs cash.
Egg Timer and Mundo
The Egg Timer speeds the table up. Community guides tie its top speed to the Time machine achievement, which asks for x5; one guide puts that at 1000 of the in-game currency, which should be checked in the current build.
Mundo collects tickets automatically, but he does not judge them until Picky Eater is bought. Without it, or a trash can, he can pick up tickets that lose money and push a run toward bankruptcy.
Quick answers
- When should I buy Picky Eater?
- Before letting Mundo run unattended. At 250 JP it is the upgrade that stops him collecting losing tickets.
- Do gadgets carry over after Prestige?
- The sources read do not confirm which gadgets persist. Treat them as part of the run until the game shows otherwise.
