Image Credit: Orielle Got some time to spare and looking for a fun online challenge? Try your luck at Clucky’s Easter Egg Hunt! Clucky the fearless mascot of the virtual world There.com has hidden twenty special eggs throughout the islands. Go at it alone or team up with friends in this hard and incredibly challenging egg hunt. Twenty one-of-a-kind eggs have been hidden all throughout There.com and at Landmark locations. They are on the smaller side, so look for a companion flower that grows near the egg that makes it easier to spot in the wild. None of the eggs will be hidden in any member-owned Neighborhoods, FunZones, ClubHouses or ThereHouses. Use the Island Maps to locate and teleport to points of interest to hunt for eggs. Your There membership also provides you with the Explorer Pack. As you play and spend time in-world landmarks and points of interest will populate your Saved Favorites Teleport locations. You can find them by going to Places on your menu bar and clicking on Go To Favorite. Click to teleport to all of your There populated Saved Favorites and run around to hunt for eggs. It’s good to go on the hunt with friends because your buddy may have more Saved Favorites than you do, and they can help teleport to places you may have never explored before. Be warned, the hunt is not easy! Be prepared to put in a couple of hours of work hunting down twenty eggs in the virtual environment of There. The full results are not in yet, but everyone who has embarked on the journey so far are all missing the same super hard egg. Rumor has it the elusive egg was found, but evidence of the discovery has not been collected yet! Where do I start the hunt? There are Clucky Hidden Eggs events around-the-clock. Go to the Activities Page and search the keyword Clucky. Sign up for an event and it will take you to a starting point. You’ll enter a ThereHouse called Messy Closet. Look for a brochure and an example of Clucky’s one-of-a-kind egg you will need to look for on the hunt. There is no particular order to hunt the eggs in. It’s all about trial and error when you’re on the hunt. It’s helpful to turn on Zone boundary lines to look for PAZes far off in the distance that might be hiding one of Clucky’s special eggs. To locate the yellow boundary lines of a PAZ click Ctrl+Shift+N three times. Try teleporting to a Saved Favorite spot and then turn on your Zone boundary lines and look nearby the teleport point for a hidden egg. What do I do when I locate one of Clucky’s Eggs? When you come across one of Clucky’s twenty hidden eggs, you’ll need to document it as proof you found it! Take a screenshot of your Avatar and the egg. Email the screenshot to CluckyTheChickenOfThere@gmail.com. Enter “I found one of Clucky’s eggs!” in the subject line of your email. Make sure to include your username if your nametag is turned off in the photo. Other members are allowed to be in your screenshot so the more the merrier! Have fun and think of creative ways to pose for the picture! Dressing up and holding Props is also a fun way to spice up your egg pics. Check out Orielle’s Tips for taking great screenshots. It’s super important that you do not post your Clucky Egg Hunt screenshots to social media! We want to keep the egg locations secret until the end of the hunt. You don’t want to spoil the fun for everyone else! At the end of the event, Clucky will post all of the egg hunt photos to his Facebook group page for everyone to check out and admire. How long do I have to participate in Clucky’s Egg Hunt? Clucky’s eggs will stay hidden until Easter Day, April 20th. Turn in your participatory email by 7:20 PM Eastern, 6:20 PM Central, 5:20 PM Mountain and 4:20 PM Pacific. Any screenshots sent after the cutoff time will not be counted. What can I win if I find all of Clucky’s hidden eggs? If you want to participate in the egg hunt, you’ll need to be a Premium member of There to receive prizes. Silent Trial accounts and Basic Memberships are welcome to participate in the hunt, but they will not be able to receive prizes. You’ll need to upgrade to a Premium account if you want to collect your loot. There will be a Grand Prize for the person who finds all twenty eggs. In the case of a tie, there will be a drawing for the Grand Prize! Grand Prize: 15,000 Therebucks Second Prize: 10,000 Therebucks Third Prize: 5,000 Therebucks There will also be prizes for the Best Screenshot so get creative and have fun!
