Linden Lab's Sping Egg Hunt

For those who like games, notably hunts, Linden Lab just announced "a most egg-cellent adventure." They're calling it their "Spring Egg Hunt."

Spring is in full swing, and that means the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and those Glytches are … well glytching!

We've scattered special eggs around various Regions throughout Second Life. Your task is to find the eggs, follow the clues inside, and if you make it to the end of the hunt, you’ll earn an exclusive prize!

This Spring hunt is only here for a week - so be sure to get hunting by April 24th, 2019 - or this prize will be lost forever.

The first clue is at Hartyshire (129/122/23), the hub location of the Glytches game. But you won't be hunting any of the little critters. Instead  you'll be looking for an egg. It isn't too hard to find, and when you do, you'll get a clue to the next location. Do not go directly there from the SURL. Instead, go to the sim via Portal Park. Once you find the egg and clue there, you can go ahead and directly teleport to the rest of the locations given to you. You should have little trouble finding the eggs, at least once everything rezzes as once the egg was among the last items to appear.

The final clue, you get not only an egg but a gift package. So what's in the package? You get a chair, a garden shed, a couple benches, and a number of smaller, decorative, items. If you're not into gardening or home decor, oh well, it was a fun little hunt.

The Egg Hunt ends on April 24, 2019.

Madpea's Egg Hunt: Last Day Tomorrow

For those who haven't had quite enough of Easter, there's another egg hunt going on. This one is by Madpea Games, and is going on until tomorrow. To take part, head to Neogene (133/185/1502). There's a 100L fee to get the Heads Up Display and basket, which you add/attach to your avatar (wearing may knock off a part of you). You then use the radar on the HUD to find the eggs. There are three in the sim you start out in. The nearest one is out in the open. A second is in a building. The third is also in a building, but hidden so that finding it takes some panning around.

Once you've found all the eggs in a sim, just press the "?" symbol on your HUD, on the pink egg. You'll then be teleported to another sim to find more. Different eggs are worth different amounts of points, from 10 to 50. Get enough points, and you can exchange them for prizes. And of course, there are an "eggstravagant" number of egg puns.

Madpea has a history of making games inworld for residents to play, in the past few years charging a fee for a number of them. Among those in the past include Unia, Buried, and Virtual Medical Doctor.

The final day of the Madpea Egg Hunt is tomorrow, with one more day to exchange points for prizes. For more information, check the Madpea blog.

2016 Easter Bunny Trail Still Up Until After Today

 For those whom still want a little more Easter-related fun for the Relay, Team Dreamin' in Purple still has their 2016 Easter Bunny Trail up, at least for the moment. After today, it's up to the kids as to how long it remains around. There was an announcement in the Relay group yesterday reminding people it was still there.

Come see me, the Easter Bunny, at the 2016 Easter bunny Trail for RFL! For any donation to the kiosk you can have your picture taken with me! After today, I head home to prepare for next Easter! If you haven't done the trail yet, its last official day is tomorrow, so be sure and get out there and find your eggs, and get your free prizes!

Dropping by Aquamarine Island (220, 76, 22), the Easter Bunny was there with one of the kids on the team, the holiday critter saying, "this event is free, with donations encouraged, if you'd like to explore (smile) many eggs hidden, lots to see. (grin) Thank you for taking my photo!" I asked how long the eggs would remain up, and he answered, "The event is open through tomorrow officially, just depends on when the kids have time to tear it down after that, hehe! ... They are on vacation with their family in SL, in Greece, so this will probably be here 'till the weekend."

A notecard sent to me by the child stated this was the fifth Bunny Trail, and one could find the following:

- 22 hidden eggs on our NEW Easter bunny paw trail!
- explore the gnome garden, unicorn sanctuary, teddy bear picnic and more!
- Daily photo sessions with the Easter Bunny for donation, Egg Decorating photo op, and even a petting zoo with food pellets for donation!

All donations go to Relay for Life of second life, in support of the American Cancer Society! Photo sessions for th Easter Bunny take place around 5pm each day

Easter Fun in Second Life

There were a number of places to find Easter fun this season. At the Liberty Town sim, one can drop by and visit Easter Town. Since the Newser dropped by in 2012 (news article), the fun has continued to take place every year, with a few decorations added since then.

The Aero Pines part has thawed out from it's winter snow and turned green with the spring. As usually, they're holding an Easter Egg hunt with prizes in the eggs hidden around the sims. And one can continue to enjoy the everyday activities such as horseback riding.

And the Easter Egg hunt at the Sunweaver Estates continues at Pacific Waters (51, 86, 31). If you haven't dropped by, do so before it's too late.

Several stores, such as Furry Fashion, have also held some egg hunts, hiding the eggs around their store grounds.

One can find a few more Easter themed events in the Destination Guide.
