[Done] Bring back the Easter egg hunt

Anyone remember the Easter egg hunt hosted by a rabbit that's totally not MIPS in 2014 and 2015?

I thought it was a rather fun event; the puzzles were pretty nice exercises for the brain (although I think some were a bit too difficult). Smile

I was disappointed when there was no sign of that rabbit in 2016, and I'd love to see him come back to this galaxy again! I think there are some room for improvement, though. Maybe there could be a reward for those that managed to crack an egg aside from a badge, like maybe a wallpaper. It doesn't have to be as much as the first place prize. I think it might encourage people to keep trying, even if someone else already cracked that egg.

What do you guys think? Would you like to see definitely-not-MIPS return?

I remember that the Easter egg hunt being really convoluted and cryptic.

If it were to come back and maybe be a little bit simpler, I think I'd be on board to give it a try.

@Syaxamaphone I do agree that the event would benefit from a little simplification. Because of the way MyBB's search engine works, I don't think using the answers with the search is going to work anyway. The puzzles could be put into applications or in multiple subforums (like the Hallowsphere event in the latter's case), although I feel like both of those may make it lose a bit of that Easter egg hunt feel.

For puzzles, one idea is that each egg would have its own category for the puzzles (one could have logic puzzles, one could have computer-related puzzles, etc.). What puzzles do you think worked out best? I think from the puzzles used in MFGG's Easter egg hunts, I thought the brown egg had good puzzles. The first two puzzles of the pink egg were rather fun as well.
