How to find the Mona Lisa cookie in Shrimp Game

Throughout your Shrimp Game playthroughs, you’ll become all too familiar with games like Red Light, Green Light, the Dalgona Candy challenge, and Mingle. However, during your Dalgona Candy rounds, there’s a chance you’ll encounter a pattern known in the community as the Mona Lisa cookie.

What is the Mona Lisa cookie, though? Does it actually look like the famous painting it’s named after, or is there more to this story? How do you find it in the first place? Here’s everything you need to know about Shrimp Game’s Mona Lisa cookie.

What is the Mona Lisa cookie in Shrimp Game?

Despite its name, Shrimp Game’s Mona Lisa cookie doesn’t have a perfect rendition of the Mona Lisa on it. Instead, it’s a rare and complex dalgona pattern made up of triangles. It is by far the most challenging pattern in the game, requiring exact precision and speed that you can only develop by playing Shrimp Game regularly.

How to find the Mona Lisa cookie in Shrimp Game

The Mona Lisa cookie is exclusive to the Dalgona Candy challenge you play as Shrimp Game’s second minigame. After surviving Red Light, Green Light and flipping over the hidden candy options, there’s around a one percent chance you’ll find the Mona Lisa candy instead of the usual four options.

In a typical dalgona challenge, you’ll find one of four candy pattern options:

• Triangle
• Circle
• Star
• Umbrella

You have around a 25 percent chance of finding one of these four options every time you play. The triangle and circle are the easiest, while the star and umbrella are more challenging. However, there’s a very low chance you’ll pull the Mona Lisa pattern instead, requiring you to trace an intricate triangle pattern that, in most cases, runs you through the minigame’s entire timer.

To put this into perspective, I found my first Mona Lisa cookie after around 60 games. I went outside the lines three times since I was moving quickly and completed the challenge with four seconds to spare. It’s certainly possible to complete it faster, but it sure gets the heart racing.

Depending on how often you play Shrimp Game, you’ll likely compete in dozens of games without seeing this pattern once. Since it only appears in about one percent of dalgona minigame matches, you’ll average around 100 games played before finding one. Considering it makes it much harder to win, though, that might be a good thing.
