Welcome to The Bell Tree’s Eighth Annual Easter Egg Hunt! What’s that? You say Easter was six and a half months ago? Sorry, somehow, I got locked in The Bell Tree Manor during the forum software migration and no one came and helped me out – until Jack came along and told me all about his two-part Halloween spectacular. Two parts! Meanwhile my annual egg hunt got cancelled. That makes me hopping mad!
Jack, I challenge you to an event-off. If your children of the night can find all 25 eggs I have planted around The Bell Tree then Halloween is yours; I will never touch it again. If they fail to find even just one of my eggs then from now on Halloween is mine. Hippity-hoppity wish-wash-whoa! Welcome to The Bell Tree’s
For many of you this will be your very first egg hunt on The Bell Tree. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to find the 25 eggs I have hidden throughout the forum. 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 egg currency. This egg currency can then be traded in the shop for the brand new spooky egg collectibles.
The first batch of clues have been released Saturday October 31st at 4PM EDT. More will continue to be released throughout Saturday and Sunday. You have until Monday November 2nd 2020 at 10PM EST to find as many eggs as you can. After that point they will 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!
Clue Types:
- Clue: This is a typical clue that will give you an idea of where you might find the egg around TBT. It will appear somewhere as a link or little 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 "Eggs" from your sidebar, 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".
