Congrats to all the winners. So glad I was able to participate. It was really fun. Thanks again adlerist for setting it up.
The Scavenger Hunt is always a lot of fun. 😊 Congratulation on being one of the winners - that was an amazing score. The confetti on you mini profile looks fabulous! 😊

I agree! The blue and white goes well with Muse's colour scheme And Party looks great too!
To celebrate the DragonVale Community Forum’s 11th anniversary, we are embarking on an EASTER EGG SCAVENGER HUNT!
Find as many eggs as you can, and the top five players will be immortalised on the Scavenger Hunt Hall of Fame on the first page of this thread.
START AND END DATES
Starts: April 6th at the daily reset of DragonVale
Ends: April 13th at the daily reset of DragonVale
HOW TO PLAY
Easter dragon eggs are randomly dispersed all over the Forum. Just read the Forum as usual, or click around and scroll away to find the eggs. There are a variety of different eggs and they will all be available every day.
Whenever you open a page, there may or may not be a dragon hiding. You can find a dragon on the Home page, open a thread, then return to the Home page and a dragon may be there again. There is only one dragon per page, so no need to keep looking; the Detector will deactivate (more on the Detector below). Almost any page can have a dragon, including a posting page or reply page on a thread or message.
On your mini profile, there is an Easter basket to store the dragon eggs you found. The mini profile will keep track of how much you’ve collected. Currently, it’s displaying an egg with a question mark because any of the eggs can appear. If you click on the basket, a message will show confirming your egg total.
When you find an egg, click or tap it. It’ll be added to your basket and this pop-up will show.
HOW TO WIN
Find as many dragon eggs as you can during the Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt. The five members with the highest collection count will be added to the Scavenger Hunt Hall of Fame and an animated confetti background (see my profile) will be added to their mini profile for a month with the title 'Scavenger Hunt Winner'. If you prefer to not have the background and/or title, just let me know. Note: if you’ve already won an animated background, the second background will be displayed after the first one expires.
MORE EGGS!
Did you get a late start on the Egg Hunt? Too busy trying to catch rabbits? Fall down one of the many internet rabbit holes? No problem! On DragonVale Double Days, each Scavenger Hunt egg will randomly be worth 1-2 eggs. A quick way to increase your score!
• On regular days, each egg you find will add one egg (+1 egg) to your total
• On DragonVale Double Days (one weekday and over the weekends), each egg will randomly add 1-2 eggs to your total
EGG DETECTOR
After you find 5 eggs, you will unlock the prize Detector. Since the Forum has thousands of pages, and many are very long, it would be extremely tiresome to scroll through page after page looking for eggs with little to no reward. The Detector will be immensely beneficial, save you time, and help you find more eggs.
In the lower right-hand corner of your screen, there is a toolbar. If it’s hidden, click on the small arrow to expand it (on a tablet or phone, you may need to tap several times before your device responds). When you’ve unlocked the Detector, an animated icon will appear on the toolbar.
The Detector has two images: activated and deactivated. The activated image is an animated Peep marshmallow bunny that changes colours. If the Detector is activated, that means there is a dragon egg on the page. The deactivated image is an animated pink Peep marshmallow bunny. If the Detector is deactivated, that means there’s no egg on the page.
If you click on the Detector icon in the toolbar, it will open the animated images so you can see them better.
No egg on the page
Pink marshmallow bunny
Yes, egg is in sight!

TIP: Once you collect 5 eggs, click on the Scavenger Hunt leaderboard (more info on the leaderboard below) so it syncs your total, then the Detector icon will show in the toolbar.
The Detector will save you from spending your days scrolling through lengthy pages. There’s no time for that — it’s already been 11 years!
HOW MANY EGGS WILL FIT IN AN EASTER BASKET?
There will be a random number between 1-15 eggs for you to find with each visit to the Forum. So if the Detector hasn’t alerted you in a while, your basket may be full and you’ll need to revisit.
LEADERBOARD
On the navigation bar, click on the Scavenger Hunt button and you’ll see how many eggs your fellow Valers have collected.
The leaderboard can fall out of sync with the mini profile after several hours. It will sometimes show an incorrect, lower amount. If you collected a small amount of eggs, after several hours of inactivity, you may no longer be on the leaderboard. In addition, sometimes a 'null' value will show instead of the collection count.
LEADERBOARD GLITCHES
If there’s a discrepancy between the count on your mini profile and the leaderboard, or if you’re no longer on the leaderboard, or if the leaderboard shows 'null' instead of your amount, finding a couple more eggs will resolve the issue and sync the leaderboard with your mini profile. Please be aware, the leaderboard amount could decrease again, after several hours of inactivity. However, your mini profile will always keep an accurate track of the number of eggs you’ve found. Therefore, at the end of the Scavenger Hunt, the totals from the mini profile will be used to determine the winners.
To prevent your mini profile and the leaderboard from falling out of sync, please follow the instructions below.
IMPORTANT
To ensure your egg count is not disrupted
1. Do not use the back button after you find an egg or after opening the leaderboard. Try to use the Forum’s buttons and links. (It’s fine to use the back button to read and navigate the Forum, just refrain when you’re doing scavenger activities.)
2. Do not open another tab when there's a collectible egg on the first tab, unless you’ve already collected the egg.
3. Do not let an egg sit on the screen (it’s gonna rot!). Gather it as soon as you spot it, or ignore it, but do not scroll back to find it or collect it later.
Any of the above or similar actions results in stale data and can corrupt your egg count and other members’ egg counts on the leaderboard.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please use this thread to make any posts about the Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt. Let us know how you’re doing, if you’re experiencing any problems, or if you have any suggestions. And please keep everyone updated on your egg collection!
As always, you must be viewing the Forum in its desktop version to participate in the hunt. If you’re on a mobile device, just click Desktop in the lower right corner of the page. You’ll also need to be a member (the leaderboard can’t keep track of your eggs as a guest). Membership is free, only requires an email, and takes mere seconds — so jump into the hunt with us, we’d love to have you onboard.
If you don’t want to play, you can ignore the eggs. However, if that proves to be difficult or if the eggs are too distracting and you do not want to see any Scavenger Hunt content, please message me.
Many cheers and happy egg hunting!
🎃 All winners of The Spoiler Contest will have the animated ghosts on my mini-profile added to their profile for a month. G’luck! 👻
Thank you adlerist for creating another Scavenger Hunt. It's always lots of fun. With double eggs on double days it is much easier to get the five eggs to unlock the egg detector. 😊
I love how the marshmallow bunny flashes different colours if there is an egg to be found. So clever. 🐰
Thank you adlerist for the egg hunt again! I had a late start (was busy yesterday), and just logged on. Am pleasantly surprised that I got double eggs today! Hee hee, if you had forgotten to turn off the double eggs, just let it stay that way. 😆.. or is it maybe today is Good Friday and you are being generous. 😉.. Whatever way, please don’t change anything..😄🙏

I was just about to point out that the double eggs were not turned off for today. I think it's because yesterday was a double day and tomorrow is the weekend, so there would only be a day in between the egg differences.

I had the setting at five eggs before doubles would take effect, but I lowered it to three, so it’ll make it a little easier to unlock the Detector.
Peeps are weirdly delicious. Or at least that’s what I remember. It’s been ages since I’ve had a sugar-coated marshmallow chick or bunny.

I remembered double eggs were still on, five hours after reset. But I decided to sleep away the rest of the day, instead of getting up and doing something about it. 💤

Sugar coated? Chocolate coated is the way to go. 🍫 🐇

Chocolate coated is the way to go, but Peeps are sugar covered marshmallow chicks and bunnies. Peeps is the name of the brand. The images used for the detector are the bunny Peeps. They come in all different colors.
