TBT's Fourteenth Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Event status
Completed
I remember that people had to buy the golden egg in the shop, but does that mean they had to fight about who would put it in their basket first? Sounds stressful.
Not really. There were other egg collectibles that people wanted more, but they were subjected to timed restocks. The golden egg was more for those who just wanted to compete.

The thing is, if you wanted another egg (for instance, the Galaxy Egg), you would have to sacrifice your chance of getting the golden egg. This has not been the case since 2022.

and you had to forgo getting any other eggs on top of it

granted, that meant there was a chance someone beat you and elected not to go for the gold, cause they wanted the other eggs more. not sure that ever happened, cause I was never in contention for and can't remember how the races looked back then, but the possibility was there

and speaking even further back, the golden egg used to be tradeable, even

I read that loud and clear. It was even mentioned on Lassy’s collectible price guide (the original collectible tier list). But when I told her that it was no longer tradable, she removed it from the price guide.

The Egg Hunts weren’t the only events that were different back in the days of New Leaf. The TBT Fair and 12 Days of Christmas Raffles were different too. I even remember the odd summer events we don’t see anymore (like the Fire Festival and Beach Party (which I missed)).

!!! this was... very unexpected lmao, but also a very pleasant surprise!! I haven't been on tbt much this past year and haven't really been keeping up to date on anything, so I figured it'd be a miracle if I managed to even find any eggs at all asdfghj. the tbt egg hunts are my absolute favourite event, and it was nice to be back for a few days and go insane look for eggs with you all, thank you!! 🫶🏻

a massive congrats to my fellow winners @xlisapisa and @Millysaurusrexjr!!! 🥳 I was so elated to see you both win golden eggs as well - especially you, Milly!! you were an absolute superstar with the community eggs oh my goodness, I am in awe of your brain. you are both amazing!!
congrats to everyone who found an egg first, found all 21 eggs, or found even just 1 egg! you all deserve golden eggs for your efforts!!

and of course, a massive thank you again to everyone who took the time to come up with and provide hints for the community eggs!! and a special thank you to the queen @tiffanistarr for helping me with a few of the eggs!! I owe you all my limbs frfr
 
Oh right, on the topic of puzzles, I think in the interest of keeping the Egg Hunts casual I am in the camp of: I would like to see them return in the original form, where u get to enter redeem-code guesses over and over!

I think the "new" puzzles are a little less fun just because it dampens the momentum of the hunt, if that makes sense? I guess you could argue it's delayed satisfaction, but to me it feels like waiting for test scores lol

- Shows up 🕺
- Wins golden egg 💪🐣
- Elaborates 😎
- Leaves 🏃‍♂️
 
Less people playing maybe

Well what brought me back to the forums was a combo of the 3.0 release + my sister finally getting the game, but it actually wasn't anything super elaborate or grand, so I can see the reason in the decline of participants. I think you'll see a really big boom again when the next AC game gets announced

I'm guessing that below 100 is quite abnormal though?
