1. What Happens During the Grandmapocalypse?
The Grandmapocalypse is an in-game event where Grandmas turn creepy and begin summoning Wrinklers and Wrath Cookies.
Effects of the Grandmapocalypse:
- Wrinklers appear and start eating your CPS.
- Wrath Cookies replace some Golden Cookies and may have negative effects.
- Background changes to eerie red with blinking Grandma eyes.
👉 So while Grandmas don’t directly steal cookies, Wrinklers eat your production—but they actually give you extra cookies when popped!

2. Do Wrinklers Steal Cookies?
Yes, Wrinklers consume your CPS, but they actually increase your total cookies in the long run:
- Each Wrinkler eats 5% of your CPS.
- When you pop a Wrinkler, it returns 110% of the cookies it ate.
- If you let 10 Wrinklers build up, they can give you a massive cookie bonus.
👉 Best strategy: Let Wrinklers grow, then pop them during a Frenzy for extra cookies!
3. Do Wrath Cookies Steal Cookies?
Wrath Cookies (which replace some Golden Cookies) can have negative effects, including:
- Clot: Reduces CPS temporarily.
- Ruin: Instantly steals 5-10% of your cookies.
- Cursed Finger: Stops CPS but gives instant cookies.
👉 Tip: If you don’t want Wrath Cookies, use Elder Pledge to pause the Grandmapocalypse.
4. How to Stop the Grandmapocalypse
- Buy Elder Pledge to temporarily disable Wrath Cookies & Wrinklers.
- Buy Elder Covenant (permanent) to stop it completely, but at a 5% CPS penalty.
Final Answer: Do Grandmas Steal Cookies?
❌ No, Grandmas don’t directly steal cookies.
✅ But they summon Wrinklers and Wrath Cookies, which can lower CPS—unless you manage them properly!
So, embracing the Grandmapocalypse can actually be beneficial if you handle Wrinklers wisely! 🍪👁️
