I'll always be haunted by the one year I skipped for seemingly no reason. Still can't believe it has been 12 years. Simply amazing. Thanks to everyone for putting this event together and keeping it going.

Some hints were easier, some harder. Some chicks were definitely harder to spot which threw me off a few times. As always - fun!

Thanks for the event! :)

Thx to all staff for this year easter event, it was -as every year- very fun thought had let to us a severe headache :D

I loved that this year it was focused to find and interpret the hints more than spot the chicken/egg in the pictures (those are easily findable if you were in the right place)

Btw, it seems I did a mistake when submitted the hard route... i didn't insert spaces in the unscramble phrase , so i get red background on my answer t.t (It seems like it's my first time instead of my ninth lol)

^this year was painful because i had to check 2 billions of anime since the chick was impossible to find in the picture and there is 10 anime school themed for every single hint in existence (japan do love their school media).
Skipped right from easy 3 to hard 17 and didn't even doubt it until i remembered egg and chick are not the same.

My Easy google doc and Hard google doc were full of bruteforce this year because i was really blind

@ikkew Someone listed you as their partner for Easy, that's why you got both :yuigoggles:
I can change it to Hard, if you'd prefer.
@Kineta the same thing happened to me, I wanted the hard one, but I got the wrong one :(

@Bahamut_Zero Ah, I normally would have fixed that if I saw it. Think I was just too tired haha. Fixed!

Wow, 10 years already? It's always fun! Thanks for this hunt, makes me discover new anime and manga.

It's just too bad that I always start a bit late because busy, especially on Friday. I will try to beat my own record next time. ;)

@Kineta Yes, I would love to have my badge changed to the hard one.
I'm going for the egg every year and would like to keep that streak.
Thank you in advance, and for putting in the effort!

A big thank you to everyone who participated in our 12th Easter Hunt!! I'm sorry that the wrap-up post took 80 years again this year. Easter is one of my favourite events, but tallying it really is not hahaha.

Please don't forget to thank our event staff! tingy, Aiimee, Aquarius, Dancho, goncix3000, KTGita22, Phloup, stinghy, Timcampy118 and Snow, did almost all of the hint creating and chick/egg shopping, and also helped a majority of you out on Discord. My role is essentially ringmaster and route planter, the rest of the event goes all to them!

Hunt Walkthrough
For those of you who didn't get a chance to participate but would like to see the route(s), we'll leave it up for another day:





Final Thoughts
  1. Sorry again that I took eons to compile everything this year orz
  2. Favourite hints, hiding spots and/or eggs/chicks?
  3. Hated hints, hiding spots and/or eggs/chicks?
  4. Anything else you'd like to see done differently to make the event better or to spice things up?
  5. Theme requests?
  6. ...Still thinking about that official Easter stack (soonTM)

Hope to see you all next year! And don't forget to mark your Calendars for MALoween! October 23~25ish!

Badges should have all been given out!
@Kineta

Hi!

In the alltime stats sheet it says I didn't do last year Hard, but I did!

I still have my google sheet with the route saved and my umscrambling tries hahaha.

I think it might be true I didn't participate in 2021 at all, because I can't find a google sheet, and I definitely abandoned hard 2020 after not finding egg 4 (or being too late) hahahaha so that's correct.

I did get the correct badge last year tho! Just the sheet this year doesn't seem correct.

@Kineta I'm not sure what to do, I did both easy and hard and submitted the form for both before the deadline. 4/19 for easy form and 4/25 for hard form, but never got my badge.

I found that I'm on the ranking for the easy, but not for the hard even though I submitted

Third time I finished this event (only easy route that is) and I am still so bad at it with no improvement in sight...
Think this will be my last time participating.

Astonishing how the top solvers can do it in mere hours!

@lifeiscrazy Seems you're listed under Hard last year :thinking: (I didn't change anything, maybe tired eyes?)

@Kineta oop my bad! I swear the hard was empty, but the easy is now.. or I was just looking... not good haha.
I did both though! My eyes must've played tricks on me, than 2024 easy is missing instead of hard, haha. Sorry for the confusion :pray:.


I also have a cool umscrambling #progress screenshot from easy hahaha
