Much to everyone's surprise, the EGG-Brigade has their hands full again this year...

After his plan to steal all of MAL's kitties was foiled in 2015, our Easter Bunny decided to take a vacation to relieve his stress. In his place, the EGG-Brigade was left in charge of delivering chocolate. There's only one problem: On her way to karaoke last night, Mikuru not only lost herself, but also the key to the chocolate storage in the process!

"All I can remember," Mikuru said tearily, "is that I could see a sign which looked something like this..."

_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _

Luckily, Mikuru was carrying 15 easter eggs which happened to fall out of her pocket along her journey. Each egg has a letter on it, and all the letters together will lead to the location of the key.

When asked where she was last, Mikuru said:

"I remember it was some kind of park.
Bonta-kun was there, but wouldn't answer me when I called him!"


We're looking for MAL Detectives who can follow the trail of easter eggs and find the storage key's location! You may work alone or with a trusty partner.

Please PM the unscrambled message and the location (database entry) to the EGG-Brigade as soon as possible! Our successful sleuths will be announced in order of timing on Tuesday, March 29th.


Good luck and happy hunting~!


How to Play


If you run into any troubles, you may confer with your fellow detectives in this thread. But don't post the solutions you find! Otherwise you completely give away the answers for everyone else. If you all seem to be stuck and no one can move, Mikuru may happen to remember a few more details...

Great to hear that you were looking forward to it :)

The centered, italic text in the first post is your first hint.

When asked where she was last, Mikuru said:

"I remember it was some kind of park.
Bonta-kun was there, but wouldn't answer me when I called him!"

Good luck!

@Psyche_Izaya Kind of :3 It can be anywhere (That means though that if the egg was found in an anime/manga entry, the hint wouldn't be inside one of the characters/people/other related database entries - as Kineta said. Or reviews/recs.). It's just somewhere in the entry :D Check carefully! :3

Edited to avoid some confusion!

Sometimes they are. The first two eggs (at least that's how many I've found so far) are a bit smaller though.

So yeah, I've been looking for the third hint for a solid hour now and would be happy about any hint I can get. Can't believe this is my third time doing this and still fail this early...

Ah... I guess the third hint location is a little harder than I meant for it to be... let me tweak it and see if you can find it easier that way.

So if an egg/hint is found on a character/v.a entry then the corresponding hint/egg will definitely be on the same entry?

The hint will definitely be on the same entry as the egg. But eggs will not be on every entry there is an hint. Some hints will need to be expanded.

For example, last year we linked the character England (Hetalia) in Natsume's character's list. When you clicked on England, you got a hint about the Prince of Thieves. There was no egg on England. However, the hint wouldn't have been hidden in a legitimate character. England's relation was the first part of the hint.

Does that make sense?

@Sorarin: Look for a weird title on the main page.

I'm confused by the "in either main image or a picture in the gallery" Does that mean they will only appear on the main image of the entry or one of the pictures in the picture section?

Edit: Like just from the description I honestly don't understand WHAT I'm looking for at all.

I know what you mean, it took me a long time to find it as well. I went to the same pages at least 3 times until I saw it... I can only say: Don't get fooled by the egg's size on the example picture. If you look for one that big you'll never find it -.-

@deadrobots The purpose of this game is to gather the letters on the eggs which are in the default picture or one in the gallery in an anime/manga/character/people's entry. Then, in the entry with the egg, you need to find a hint to go to your next location, so you basically just search for clues one after the other until you have all eggs, the phrase and the last location! The first hint is here and by searching it, you should find where it leads to. There you are supposed to find an egg and a hint :D
