Zipper T. Bunny
NPC
Welcome to TBT's Fourth Annual Easter Egg Hunt! I'll be your host, and I'm known around here as Zipper T. Bunny. The objective of this fun and fantastic event is to find the eggs we've scattered all over TBT, which act as the special currency you'll need to purchase limited edition Easter Egg collectibles from Zipper's Eggstreme and Eggcellent Eggs shop. All eggs, besides puzzle eggs, will be contained within an image or a text link somewhere on the forum (or possibly outside the forum), so keep your eyes and carrots peeled and your wits steely!
Our first batch of clues have been released Saturday morning at 11am EST, with more to follow throughout Saturday and Easter Sunday. To see the exact times each batch will go live, simply check the table below. Happy hunting everyone!
Also, teams are not allowed, so please do not work with others to find the eggs. This also goes for posting and/or sharing hints on or off the forum. If you're found to be doing any of the above, you may have your egg currency removed or be banned from the remainder of the egg hunt as this goes against the spirit of the event.
This year we have four new eggs. Our normal egg is also for sale, as well as the infamous golden egg.
- Clue: This is the most generic clue. These will give you an idea of where you might find the egg. To redeem these eggs just simply click on the link or the little egg graphic. They don't all look the same.
