Thanks to all the staff that made this egg-hunt. I had loads of fun finding most eggs, and still also loads of fun seeing how far off I was on the rest. I love that one of the first clues sent me to a past egg-hunt thread: Looking through that I got some ideas on where staff would have hidden eggs in previous years and it made the rest of the hunt a bit easier for me
In the end, I didn't find nr. 5 because I had convinced myself that this clue MUST have something to do with Vesta, right?! After all she got quite some attention due to the fair and there being a new collectible for her... and she's the Roman goddess for hearth, home and family.
I went over the correct thread for nr. 22 several times in my search for some egg related to the last fair... but I was expecting a 'you found an egg' link or an egg symbol, so I totally missed the hyperlinked words.
All the other eggs, I managed to find (eventually). But you don't want to know how many things named after dodos I tried to put in for egg 24... At some point I was almost trying to brute-force it XD. WRIGHTBROTHERS was one of my first guesses, and only after sleeping a night I remembered I hadn't checked the simpler version, WRIGHT, for it. I think the funniest thing I put in there was 'DUNKINDONUTS' after reading an entry for the word dodo on urban dictionary.
I got 12 in the end, but banner blindness really killed me there, I almost didn't spot it. I also was overthinking that one massively: At first, I was frustrated because I used the villager tier thread here and a list of jocks and uchi villagers, and just went over every unranked and lowest tier villager to see if there were posts for them and if they had an egg... I spent hours on that egg without even getting close XD
I must admit I probably wouldn't have found some of the eggs if the search had been disabled, like egg 19. Now it was easier: Google 'largest organ', search this site for "skin care" and find there's a thread about it, that's worth checking out. Or knowing clue 13 referred to Among Us and having seen the thread already, I could re-find it a bit easier.
And I think those are the stories I have about this egg hunt. I hope to be around for the next one as well!
