Zipper T. Bunny
NPC
It's The Bell Tree's Sixth Annual Easter Egg Hunt! I'm Zipper T. Bunny, your illustrious event host, with another year of illuminating clues and riddles. When I heard that this year's Easter would coincide with April Fool's Day, my little rabbit heart grew three sizes. I knew my friends at The Bell Tree would welcome me with open arms once again, so I dusted off my most extravagant outfit and contacted the best egg artists in my rolodex. After all, this won't be happening for another eleven years, so it would be a shame if we didn't celebrate.
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 my shop, Zipper's Eggstreme and Eggcellent Eggs. 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 top hats and try not to go mad!
The first batch of clues have been released Saturday afternoon at 1 PM EDT, with more to follow throughout Saturday and Easter Sunday. To see the exact times that 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. 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!
This year's eggs come from our top-shelf cartons and have been painstakingly designed with a great attention to detail. Multiple artists have come together to create our highest quality collectibles yet.
Apr 4th 2018 Update: These eggs were all a mistake! Check out the announcement here. Our collectibles this year are actually...
