| We regret to inform everyone that our precious Easter Bunny has been kidnapped! Luckily, he has dropped a trail of easter eggs to his location and hints connecting one egg to another. All of the easter eggs have letters on them which, when all collected, spell out a phrase that points to the entry where the Easter Bunny is located! Unfortunately, these letters were scRaMbLed in the process so you'll need to collect all 17 to decode the message: Easter Bunny said: _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ If there are any MAL Detectives out there who could unscramble the message of the eggs and retrieve the Easter Bunny's location, we would greatly appreciate it! You may work alone or with a trusty partner. The easter eggs can appear on either anime/manga/character database entry pages or on staff profiles. Each egg will be embedded in an image found somewhere on the page - some relatively easy to find and others not so much... On every entry/page that you find an egg, you will also find a hint to the next entry/page. Be sure to hunt around, as some hints are hidden even better than the eggs themselves~ As for deciphering the hints, MAL search and Google should be able to help you with most. Please PM the Easter Bunny's location to the EGG-Brigade as soon as possible! We will announce our successful sleuths in order of timing on Tuesday, April 22nd. If you run into any troubles, you may confer with your fellow detectives in this thread. But don't post the solutions you find in this thread! Otherwise you completely give away the answers for everyone else. If you all seem to be stuck and no one can move, the Easter Bunny may even drop an additional hint via the EGG-Brigade. To start you all off, a staff member woke up to the following note this morning, which should lead you to the first egg: Easter Bunny said: Don't drop the bunny! Good luck and happy hunting~! Forum mod announcement to come in the next week. Updates: Stuck on the first clue? Check this and this post. If you made it to the 15th egg in the first 8 hours, you will have gotten the wrong letter as a mischievous bunny chomped away at it. Please have a look at the entry again as it's correct now. |

| Post-event revelation of final egg Easter eggs: here. As one of the twisted minds who orchestrated this event, I have to say that some of the staff members had a little too much fun with the creative process. I needed the secret walkthrough to "QC" this. My condolences goes out to those that choose to brave this task, and I salute anyone who suffers until the very end. Good luck. Seriously. |

| You silly billies, don't post the hints and/or eggs you've found in this thread. Else it won't be much of a race. :D Happy hunting! |

alexpte said: Question: Are the eggs embedded in the pictures literal eggs with a letter on them? I've found four eggs so far and all of them were literal eggs except for maybe one but that's something one could argue about. |
| Can't find shit. Thought it'll be on xx page, yy page. Nope saw nothing. How to get further clues? EDIT: I was blind. Looking at the wrong place on the right page. |

| lol, i can't even find the first egg, even though i'm sure i'm interpreting the hint correctly. i think i'm doing something wrong |
 |
| I have to say that this is actually quite the amusement! silverwalls said: lol, i can't even find the first egg, even though i'm sure i'm interpreting the hint correctly. i think i'm doing something wrong Perhaps you actually did interpret it wrong? I did so with the first even though I was extremely confident in my interpretation of the hint. |
 |
| I give up on the first egg... waiting for my pals. |
|
| Would anyone mind answering a question? Would it be possible for there to be multiple eggs on one picture? EDIT: Nvrm. Answered my own question. |

| lol, I finally found the first egg. |

| Is there ANY WAY to fix the incapsula issue? It's popping up ALMOST EVERY SINGLE LINK/TAB I clicked on MAL. It's getting annoying to play this game. |

JulietTalyor said: I haven't found the first one yet, but let's face it, most of us will give up at some point. Like when you know you suck at crossword, but you're still willing to try again every once in a while for fun. I tried google and i went to the Anime and Manga pages but couldn't find any and searched for the main characters but no results |

Easter Bunny said: Don't drop the bunny! I tried google and i went to the Anime and Manga pages but couldn't find any and searched for the main characters but no results I've done all that too. Am I just stupid or not trying hard enough. I've been on character pages as well for some and staff as well... |
| I just couldn't find the 2nd egg and there are only 3 characters that are related to the clue (as far as I know). The heck am I doing wrong? :/ |
JulietTalyor said: Is it possible to ask for HINTS from people who have found the first egg? If yes, can anyone give me more hints for the first one? No solutions please i enjoy finding things by myself but if i don't get hints...i can't move forward I second this |
| Are we allowed to have a partner? This seems impossible without an experienced MAL user. |

JulietTalyor said: Astoraea said: Are we allowed to have a partner? This seems impossible without an experienced MAL user. I also want but an experienced MAL user usually would go solo I'm pretty confident in my ability to decipher the hints if they are related to anime but I seem to be stuck on one that has something that most likely deals with MAL's background information. |

Kineta said: As for deciphering the hints, MAL search and Google should be able to help you with most. For all of those stuck on the first clue, try Google searching: don't drop the bunny myanimelist Honestly, Google and MAL's search should help you find most of the correct entries. You just need to be a little smart about how you search. |
| Am I looking for an egg within a picture or a picture of an egg? |

Haha background information. but you shouldn't worry so much...i formed a pair and both of us can't even find the first one Haha. I don't mind helping out people if it will put me an extra step closer to actually finishing this. As Kineta said, Just use Google. These hints have key words. |
|
| I give up on the first egg... good luck |
 |
| Google had a negative effect on me. My hopes and dreams were instantly decimated. EDIT: Watch out guys. One of the hints is a trick. Lost 2 hours time on this. |

No solutions please i enjoy finding things by myself but if i don't get hints...i can't move forward I second this I think a lot of you have the right idea when it comes to the first one, you just might want to check other forms of media. I'm at number 12 so far and can't find egg number 13 even though it seems very obvious. |
