The DragonVale Community Forum’s anniversary celebration continues with a brand new game. Do you think you’re good at the DV mini-game Name That Egg? Do you frequently race through the game and say to yourself, 'That was easy', or 'I wonder if anyone else can guess eggs as amazingly as I can?' Well, it’s time to find out! Participants will compete with fellow players to see who can correctly name the most eggs.
The wonderful and wondrous First Ostrich created a replica of DragonVale’s Name That Egg. You can find it here. They have put a lot of work into the site and graciously agreed to let us use it for a contest. Forum staff have helped to make the replica more challenging with more eggs for Hard Mode, and First Ostrich also added all the latest dragon eggs, so it’s up to date.
For this contest, not all the eggs in the game will appear because the eggs have been curated for Hard Mode. There is a time limit to guess each egg, similar to the time limit in DV’s mini-game when there is a golden chest.
HOW TO PLAY NAME THAT EGG
1. Open the Name That Egg replica and in the Settings select Hard Mode and Chest Timer.
2. Press the Begin button. An egg will show with four multiple-choice answers. Choose the correct answer before the timer runs out. Try to guess as many eggs as you can in a row.
3. As soon as the Chest Timer runs out, or you answer incorrectly, take a screenshot.
4. Post the screenshot of your results on this thread. You can either use an image host or the Forum’s Attachment feature to post your screenshot (please see the next post for instructions on how to use Attachments).
• The screenshot needs to include your score and the Settings with Hard Mode and Chest Timer check marked.
So it will look like this if you’ve run out of time
If you incorrectly guessed an egg, the screenshot will look like this, depicting one less Correct point than the number of Total Tries. The difference can only be one. Stop playing as soon as you miss. (You don’t need a screenshot of the missed egg because the game resets to a new egg fairly quickly.)
5. You can enter the contest and post your results as many times as you want. If someone beats your score, play again and post another screenshot with your new score.
6. After running out of time or answering incorrectly, you will need to refresh the website to get the Begin button to show again. You can also press the Reset Score button to start over, but the Begin will remain greyed out.
7. When the contest concludes on April 15th at 14:00 UTC (DV’s daily reset) the player with the highest score wins.
8. Name That Egg relies on the honour system, so please be fair and have fun!
PRIZES
The winner of Name That Egg will receive a brand new Forum prize — an animated background of falling stars for all of their posts (see it in action on a post by a Forum admin or mod). The new background and the title Name That Egg Winner will grace your profile for 30 days, along with a temporary badge from a spring water balloon fight!

I wanted to beat my score, managed to get one more. I stumbled thanks to thinking Oaris' egg was Grove's this time around. (I selected save score just so I could remember what I got last time.)
Also well done Arceus, 60 is insane!
Will this site still be available after this competition is over? I really enjoy Name the Egg but it's an expensive hobby for someone who doesn't have thousands of gems to spare, and in-game they are usually pretty easy. I want to see how high a score I can get but 4 days isn't long enough to satiate my Name the Egg cravings! 😆🤣

The replica should still be available. But I am working with the developer (who is amazing!), and we’re looking at creating other contests for the Forum, so the site could be down at times.
Beat my score; ended up running out of time on the last one.
I do have a suggestion for hard mode:
Add the hybrid and golden hybrid eggs, and make the answers be the different combinations for that hybrid. I have been tricked a couple of times in the real game because of this!
Example:
Frostflower Lichen
Evergreen Conifer
🌿 Blessed the Terradiem Dragon, Gargoyle Dragon, and Flowerhop Dragon with the Plant Element 🌿
🌴🐢 Creator of the Oasian Dragon 🐢🌴
🐉🔥 Dragon Tamer - Red Fire accomplished on August 27, 2023 🔥🐉

Maybe you might like to post about the extension on the event thread to encourage more participation?
I would also agree with this, right now it's only me and you. It's a bit lonely.
MinyaZ has also fiddled around a bit, although has decided not to share her score.
I would play, but it has taken a lot of training not to panic when I see the clock timer. I have MS and don’t move fast, so I do very poorly with timed activities. I tried to play once, but it caused a lot of anxiety and I don’t know the astrology eggs well and I got a low score. I will just continue to be awed by your score.
I am absolutely not in the league of Arceus or Kaleni at this game. Thanks a million for sharing the game. It is great fun and I really enjoyed giving it a go, but wow it was easy to make a mistake. I was in danger territory with every Zodiac egg and lots more beside. Most of my scores were beyond unworthy of posting but this one is somewhat more worthy, so here goes.

A new contest! This is so creative. The replica is very cool! I had a blast playing. Looks like people are a little shy about posting their score. The developer put a lot of work into it. It’s just for fun, nobody is going to judge you. Post whatever you have. Either that or people are waiting until the end to get the highest score in lol. Here’s my score. But I’m gonna keep trying. I love the replica!!
I think that’s the strategy, post your highest score just before the contest ends, and hope that’s enough to win! Unfortunately, I don’t think I can be here just before it ends so I’m posting now. I got this score about 15 minutes ago. I was so happy I got triple digits I lost my concentration and messed up on an egg! 😆😭 I’m trying to beat the score, but so far I haven’t had much luck.
