Welcome to The Bell Tree's Fifth Annual Easter Egg Hunt! I, Zipper T. Bunny, am back again to host another exciting event. This year, my doctor has asked me to cut back on the egg puns, but I am still so extremely ecstatic about this exceptional extravaganza! Phew... that sentence was egghausting.

As always, your objective is to find the eggs that we've scattered all over TBT. These eggs will allow you to purchase limited edition Easter Egg collectibles from Zipper's Eggstreme and Eggcellent Eggs shop. All eggs, besides puzzle eggs, will be contained within an image or a text link somewhere on the forum (or possibly even outside the forum), so put on your thinking visors and try not to get too scrambled!

Our first batch of clues have been released Saturday afternoon at 1pm EDT, with more to follow throughout Saturday and Easter Sunday. To see the exact times each batch will go live, simply check the table below. Let's start our egg hunting adventure!

Also please remember that teams are not allowed, so please do not work with other members to find the eggs. This also goes for posting or sharing hints on or off the forum. If you're found to be doing any of the above, you may have your egg currency removed or be banned from the remainder of the egg hunt as this goes against the spirit of the event. We want this to be a fun and fair event for all!
