The 2018 Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt HQ

Easter eggs will looking something like this: alleniwer_1.png (and be clickable). They can appear on anywhere on any pages of Egg Cave. When you see one on the page, click on it to claim it.

The Easter Egg Hunt will be open today through April 21 at 11:59 PM ECT.

Egg Hunt Changes This Year

We'll be honest: we have made the Easter Egg Hunt more challenging than ever before this year. Eggs will become more difficult to find the closer you get to finishing. Don't stress if you don't find them all in a day — it might take a few! We hope you're up for the challenge!

To balance ourselves out though, we have also made another change that we think you'll like a lot: once you successfully click on and collect a hidden easter egg, you will not see the same easter egg displayed again. In other words, you will never receive a "you have already collected this egg!" message like in years past. Every time you see a hidden egg, it will always be a new one.

Egg Hunt Rules

Easter eggs are hidden in different places for each user, so there isn't any use in sharing where you found them with others. Their locations and links are unique to your account and are completely randomized.

You are permitted to find Easter Eggs on any of your main and side accounts; however, you are only allowed to claim your Easter Egg Hunt prize on your main account. Abusing multiple accounts to get multiple Alleniwer creatures is not allowed.

Ready? Set. Go!

Get collecting now! Have fun! Find the Easter Egg Hunt HQ link on the top bar of every page.

looked for hours...nothing anywhere ☹️

I agree w/the "not liking this event". I havent even tried to find the eggs when I read the blog & saw how small the eggs r. Really!? Have enough eye strain on laptop already...Dont need anymore here. Not gonna play this event much at all. Sry @Ian ☹️ Not "my" favorite.

tiahny • 10 Apr 2018, 6:16 AM

Finally starting to find them! Maybe it was a glitch? Thank you! 😊

senpai • 10 Apr 2018, 6:17 AM

tiring, but I really want the new creature ;u;

cherryblossomlover • 10 Apr 2018, 7:31 AM

i have found one, but i have to say i really don't like how small th eggs are.

minnie298a • 10 Apr 2018, 7:34 AM

I didn't think they were much smaller than previous years. They do appear to be more pastel in colour (looking more like a spot on my dirty screen), and with the no repeats, seem rarer, but I haven't noticed much difference in the size. But that may be my memory playing tricks.

kissed • 10 Apr 2018, 7:37 AM

errgghhh.... how am I supposed to find an EGG the size of DUST? I could barely see the example one.....

thaliel • 10 Apr 2018, 7:41 AM

Something that is not only awfully small, but also light grey is very hard to spot for someone with a visual impairment like me

dafni • 10 Apr 2018, 7:41 AM

I found already 14 eggs in an hour and half just by feeding... It's not that hard at all, and there are enough days to get them all without struggling. Just arm yourself with a bit of patience!

sparklefox • 10 Apr 2018, 7:44 AM

From looking through the comments, I'm guessing that the eggs are much harder to see than the previous years (which seems to be a theme). This will definitely be fun with my awful eyesight and dull screen.

dusskfall • 10 Apr 2018, 7:48 AM

okay that was weird.. finally found One egg... and it replaced the forward arrow on the page

arvak • 10 Apr 2018, 7:55 AM

I always love the egghunt! These seem a little harder to find (only 2 so far), but since there is still so much time left, I'm not worried yet. 😸

prairie • 10 Apr 2018, 7:56 AM

Alright. Call me crazy..... But I find it to be easier on mobile in a way. Just cause certain places have Smaller screen size.

silverserpent • 10 Apr 2018, 8:10 AM

Geez. Harder to find eggs? My eyes are already hurting and I haven't even started hunting yet. xD

invisiblefly • 10 Apr 2018, 8:19 AM

Y'all need to chill guys... I think it'll be more fun that it's harder! You'll feel a lot more accomplished once you've found them all. (Consider the rare creature) 😊

degong • 10 Apr 2018, 9:03 AM

Alleniwers born today are going to be even more rare now! O.o I also hope I don't experience eye strain like the rest of you. xD

crescentmoons • 10 Apr 2018, 9:14 AM

The only good thing that's come out of this event so far is that I've thoroughly cleaned both of my computer monitors and phone screen. Otherwise? My eyes just hurt lol.

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 9:19 AM

Just found a Wiggit egg in one of the past blog posts. THEY ARE SO TINY AND TRANSPARENT.

degong • 10 Apr 2018, 9:21 AM

The eggs kind of look like dust. xD If your brightness is too low you might miss it.

orchids • 10 Apr 2018, 9:31 AM

I got my Alleniwer! And a very clean screen...

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 9:32 AM

Also found one on the blog post title. A Statink egg. // @orchids Congrats!

orchids • 10 Apr 2018, 9:39 AM

@foxbit Thanks! Most of them were from the mysterious asteroid. I took breaks after each find.. I think it helped!

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 9:40 AM

@orchids So, you *do* get eggs by refreshing pages? *eyes Leila Oasis and Thief Shop*

orchids • 10 Apr 2018, 9:45 AM

@foxbit I definiely did but I opened a new window after each one and waited at least two minutes.

calenlass • 10 Apr 2018, 9:47 AM

Someone please tell me the eggs only appear on the white part of the page, because if those eggs appear on the colored areas, I am so ...

minnie298a • 10 Apr 2018, 9:47 AM

@foxbit I've found 3 refreshing the Thief Shop, just hitting the back button after each one. Haven't found a creature for sale in weeks though.

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 9:51 AM

@minnie298a Nice! And, oh. -~- Let's see if I can find a creature there...

minnie298a • 10 Apr 2018, 9:53 AM

@calenlass All the ones I've found have been on the white near the top. TS/Oasis near titles, Archives near species name, feeding near species and forward/back arrows. Although I have given up scrolling, so that may influence that.

thaliel • 10 Apr 2018, 10:09 AM

TFW you feed 100+ pets, but find no eggs *sighs*

bunnywabbit • 10 Apr 2018, 10:10 AM

Alright. Hurting eyes and a lot of frustration is not my kind of fun. I'm out.

darkskyazray • 10 Apr 2018, 10:16 AM

Same as Thaliel - Feeding and feeding and didn't find a single egg. ☹️

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 10:21 AM

I was feeding and found an egg on one of my creature's profiles. Went back to continue feeding and the same egg popped up next to the creature's name, with the text being centered. tl;dr: Look for realigned texts on your creature's profiles, there might be an egg.

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 10:26 AM

Also realigned arrows. Like these: https://i.imgur.com/LWY5Euo.png

minnie298a • 10 Apr 2018, 10:28 AM

I've banked over 1000 XC credits for about 6 eggs. But as stated above, I'm not scrolling, so could be missing some.

mdom • 10 Apr 2018, 10:31 AM

yeep time to view the site at 500%

isathebelle • 10 Apr 2018, 10:37 AM

I never thought of hunting invisible eggs 😃 I'll need a glasses after this event !!!

the_mushroom_nacho • 10 Apr 2018, 11:10 AM

@muzb Alright, have fun hurting your eyes then if it's worth it. lol XD

murfijs • 10 Apr 2018, 11:34 AM

@ian where is alleniwer species entry?

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 11:36 AM

I have found 14 so far. MY EYES. Take constant breaks.

skyfall4 • 10 Apr 2018, 11:41 AM

You know what's cool? You find eggs in order 😱 I first found a Dilloton, and then a Lan, then Cotofly, etc.... 😋

lendulka • 10 Apr 2018, 11:53 AM

Advice: you need a lot of pattience, open the Thief shop page, enlarge at 200% and hit refresh about 200 times. Already found 6 eggs.

icedmagma • 10 Apr 2018, 11:54 AM

I was having such a hard time until I realized I leave EggCave zoomed out to 70% XD Bumped it up to 100% and suddenly things got much easier LOL

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 12:08 PM

Also have over 300 creatures and surf through their profiles. Wait ~5 minutes so between each find.

eschla • 10 Apr 2018, 12:15 PM

Finished the hunting 😊 Good luck all finding them 😃 ❤️

icymuffin • 10 Apr 2018, 12:47 PM

Oddly enough I've been able to consistently find eggs after leaving Egg Cave for 10-15min. The next page I visit nearly always had an egg on it. I usually go make it World Maps/Ark City so it's easy to spot

paige • 10 Apr 2018, 1:02 PM

So far I've only found them in the white pages near the header, so that must be where they always are! Though no guarantees that I'd actually see them in the background because my eyes haha

dusskfall • 10 Apr 2018, 1:08 PM

I found one at the bottom of the page once.. but i can't be bothered to scroll now. not worth it

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:12 PM

The Easter Egg Hunt difficulty has been adjusted to be slightly easier. Stay tuned for a blog post update. ❤️ Thanks all!

aouh • 10 Apr 2018, 2:19 PM

Very first egg hunt I've done and it was really fun ! A great way to spend a sick day in bed I have to say 😃

iris1929578 • 10 Apr 2018, 3:49 PM

Aaarrrgghhhh these eggs are way too small help my eyes
