The event is now over! You can see how you placed here. Welcome to MAL's Annual Easter Hunt!  Complete Easy and/or Hard route before Sun April 7, 23:59 PDT    to receive one of these profile badges! (chick=easy, egg=hard, both=both) Story While on vacation last year, MAL's Easter Bunny made a new friend. Together, the pair had a devilish time indulging in sweets. Come hell or high water, they've stayed in touch since then. But suddenly, his friend stopped answering all of his messages. Thinking some stalker demon nabbed his pure friend, he rushed to their apartment. There, he found a mysterious note: "I've been called back to heaven. If you want to find me, follow the trail of chocolates~" Wait—his friend was actually an angel in disguise?! Was their friendship all a delusion? Please help him find the 16 chicks (easy route) and 18 eggs (hard route) so he can reunite with his friend! You may work alone or with 1 trusty partner. Easy _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ ( 6 / 4 / 6 letters) Hard _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ( 6 / 2 / 3 , 7 letters) How to Play 1. Choose a route: Easy or Hard. If you're new to the event or do not have a lot of time, do the Easy route. The hunting skills you learn during the Easy route will help you tackle the Hard route (later or next year). 2. Solve the hints to find which anime/manga/character entry has the chick/egg. Hints themselves are mostly not difficult. Searching "anime + ..." a few keywords from the hint will bring the entry up in Google and/or the MAL search box. We are not expecting you to have seen/read all these anime/manga! The first hint is given to you in this thread. 3. Find the chick/egg and letter in the Pictures of the correct anime/manga/character entry. Easy route: You will be looking for letters inside a chick outline, like on the Gudetama picture. Hard route: You will be looking for letters inside an egg outline, like the Toshokan Sensou picture. The images with the chick/egg will always appear on the last picture of the image gallery in a database page: Anime, Manga, Character. Make sure you write the letter down!   4. Find the next hint in the same anime/manga/character page you found the chick/egg. Hints will be visible on one of the tabs of the entry that you found the chick/egg, excluding: Reviews, Recommendations, Stats, Featured. Clickable hints should be clicked! Hints will not be inside other related database entries unless the relation/link text itself is a clue. Look for anything unusual.
 5. After collecting all the letters, unscramble them to get the hint for the final anime/manga/character entry! You will need both the scrambled and unscrambled phrase for the Google form, so don't delete it! There are tools online that can help you unscramble phrases. Pro tip: We usually include an Easter or Story-related word in the final hint. Finally, doing the hunt will look something like this... Example:
Please refer to the 2022 Game Route for more examples. Submit Your Answers Use this Google Form to submit the chocolate's location before the time runs out!

| @Blanners I managed to find it. |
| Good, I am not too late yet. |
Reply to SuperSoldier
| @SuperSoldier Thanks, once I added the "site:myanimelist.net" part you suggested it was the first result, without that it didn't even pop up in my radar lol |
BlannersMar 29, 4:38 PM
| Why is my first easy hint an image? Is it supposed to be like that? 💀 |
 |
| I made it to the 5th clue and now I'm stumped. I got a lot further than I thought I would though! I also found a Happy Easter message by accident. I'm curious if it is part of the game. |

"𝐼 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒..." |
| How am I already stumped on the first hint? Lmao |
| It'll all be okay in the end. If you're not okay, it's not the end. |
| I'm on the fourth clue, but I can't find the letter.... For my first time, I don't think I'm doing too bad though |

| Really lost on the hint for the 5th chick ( ). What part of the hint am I supposed to focus on? |
