Hippity-hoppity wish-wash-whoa! I am back from The Woods and Easter is a go!
Welcome to The Bell Tree’s Ninth Annual Easter Egg Hunt! I am your host, Zipper T. Bunny, here to guide you through another eggshilarating weekend of fun. The clues below might scramble your mind and leave you feeling fried, so make sure to take regular breaks to rehydrate, snack on some Easter chocolate, and soshellise with loved ones. Eggshaustion is not conducive to egg hunting!
If this is your very first Easter egg hunt on The Bell Tree then allow me to explain the rules. While you were decorating eggs this week I was hard at work hiding 25 eggs around the forum for you to find. My eggs might appear as an egg graphic, as a text link, or they may be concealed by other means. The clues in the table below will give you a hint as to where they are located. Each egg that you find will provide you with 1 egg currency. This egg currency can then be traded in the shop for this year's brand new Easter Egg collectibles.
The first batch of clues have been released Saturday April 3rd at 12PM EDT. More will continue to be released throughout Saturday and Sunday. You have until Monday April 5th 2020 at 10PM EDT to find as many eggs as you can. After that point they will turn fowl and no longer be redeemable.
Please keep in mind 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. This goes against the spirit of the event. If you're found to be working together or cheating in other ways, you may have your egg currency removed, be banned from the remainder of the egg hunt, or be banned from future events. We want this to be a fun and fair event for all! I hope we are all in eggreement.
- Clue: This is a typical clue that will give you an idea of where you might find the egg around TBT. It will typically appear as a link or egg graphic, which you can click to receive your egg currency. They don't all look the same. While many may be located in forum threads, this is not always the case.
- Puzzle: Use the clue to work out the code. Once you've worked it out, click your egg amount from your sidebar or profile, and enter the code in the "Redeem" box as shown below. Make sure to type it in all caps and with no spaces or symbols in place of "CODEGOESHERE".
