Welcome to The Bell Tree’s Fourteenth Annual Easter Egg Hunt! It is I, Zipper T. Bunny, your obligatory and ever-present host, returning to you once again with another glorious forum egg hunt! In an act of total grace, I’ve decided to spare you from agonizing over baskets and solving mind-numbing puzzles this time around. Ready to hop to it? This year we have six lovely new eggs, as well as a few returning ones! Earn these treasures by cracking 21 brand-new clues, which will be released in batches all throughout the weekend.
If this is your first egg hunt on The Bell Tree, your objective is to follow the clues listed in the "Clues" table below. Clicking a found egg will give you egg currency. They will be hidden in various places across The Bell Tree; some should be solved privately, while others can be solved as a community in this thread. More about this will be explained in the Egg Types section below. Once you receive egg currency, you can spend it in the shop on any of the many Easter egg collectibles offered this year! One person will even win the Golden Easter Egg collectible.
The first batch of eggs has been released Friday, April 3rd at 7:00 PM EDT. More will continue to be released throughout Saturday and Sunday. You have until Monday, April 6th at 10:00 PM EDT to find as many eggs as you can. After that point, they will all spoil and will no longer be redeemable. Then the answers will be posted so you can check how you did!
While we will not disqualify participants who privately work together on solo clues, we ask that you be respectful to those who wish to work alone. Don't beg for help or spoil answers publicly. Working alone may also be beneficial because of bonuses, which allow you to receive extra currency and, if you're this year's lucky egg hunt winner, the coveted Golden Easter Egg! These will be distributed after the event ends:
| Achievement | Reward | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 of only 75 or fewer people to redeem an egg (doesn't apply to community clues) | +1 egg currency | |
| First person to find an egg | +2 egg currency | |
| First person to find the most eggs | Golden Easter Egg |
There will be only one Golden Easter Egg winner per year. It's common for the number of first-found eggs to result in a tie, so the time it takes for these eggs to be found will be used as the tiebreaker.
| Collectible | Creator | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Happy Ditto Easter Egg | @Laudine | 3 Eggs |
| Cheeseburger Easter Egg | @Mistreil | 3 Eggs |
| Yellow Pikmin Easter Egg | @Mistreil | 3 Eggs |
| Rosalina Easter Egg | @Laudine | 3 Eggs |
| Seraphim Easter Egg | @Nefarious | 6 Eggs |
| Crescent Moon Easter Egg | @Laudine | 6 Eggs |
| Prismatic Easter Egg | @Laudine | 6 Eggs |
| Sunset Easter Egg | @Mistreil | 9 Eggs |
| Butterfly Garden Easter Egg | @Mistreil | 9 Eggs |
Pay careful attention to the egg types because they describe how to solve each egg! Each batch has two solo clues and one community clue.
- Solo Clue: This is a typical clue that will give you an idea of where you might find the egg around TBT. It will often (but not always) appear as a link or small 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. Solo clues are meant to be worked on individually or privately, so do not publicly share or ask for information that helps solve them.
- Community Clue: A community clue is like a solo clue in that it's hidden somewhere on TBT. However, community clues can be discussed and solved by the entire community, directly in this thread. When publicly discussing these clues, be sure to clarify the egg number in your post so other users know which one you're talking about. After finding the egg, please don't link to answers directly, but feel free to share hints. These clues are typically more difficult, so the whole community can work together to solve them!
