Top egg collector revealed. 11 eggs needed for maximum competition token haul. Easter auction results announced. Community Event & Raffle results expected soon-ish.
Your days of praying for eggs are now over. Torn's Easter Egg Hunt ended at noon on Sunday the 25th of April, and after a short, unforeseen issue delayed confirmation of the results, everyone should now have had their scores finalised and their prizes provided.
OVERALL STATS
This year, 38,777 people took part in the Easter Egg Hunt, with 202,689 eggs found out of 430,525 that were generated by the mythical egg-laying King, Eggamemnon. These figures are slightly down on last year when 39,039 people took part and collected 214,643 eggs out of 437,535 that were spawned. Maybe old Egga just wasn't in the mood this year.
2020's results meant that each person collected an average of 5.5 eggs, with 49% of all eggs being found. This year, players collected an average of 5.2 eggs per person, with 47% of spawned eggs being collected. This means that our memorable EGG vs YEAR graph from last year was inaccurate. We will be shredding all references to this graph forthwith, with the shreddings themselves to be pulped shortly after.

The final overall stat we have for you is the total number of egg collections that were exchanged for a Gold Easter Egg and 20 points. This figure has grown year on year, from roughly 3,500 in 2018 and 6,100 in 2019 to 8,750 last year. This time, we saw that approximately 6,900 people exchanged a full set for the aforementioned prizes. This figure is likely lower due to the increased requirement of ten eggs that was brought in with the introduction of themysterious perfectly normal purple egg.

Top Egg Collectors
Like a plate of heavily whipped scrambles, CRLF has beaten me to the publication of the egg collector leaderboard this year. But let's take a look and ratify those results anyway. -Selene- is the egg champion this year thanks to her incredible haul of 28 eggs. This means she has broken the record of 27 that was achieved in 2020 by Ahab, Rob_Snow, and Neil_Peart. Congratulations -Selene-! The runners-up were Ahab and cwa311 on 26 eggs, with Crannie, Wade, Emmzki, and Llynie in joint-third on 25 eggs.
Our new record-holder was leading the table with 20 eggs when last we checked on the 16th of April. Back then, we predicted she may have hit as high as 36 eggs if she managed to maintain her early pace, but even her reduced egg-rate was still enough to take home first place. In case you're wondering, coming first in the Easter Egg Hunt doesn't provide you with an honor bar or prize. But should it?
Pictured: Yes, and that prize should be an egg the size of a child's skull.
The Top 10%
In order to obtain the maximum haul of 10 competition tokens, Easter Egg Hunt participants have to finish in the top 10% of the egg-collecting leaderboard. The cutoff for this percentile this year was 11 eggs, whereas last year it was 13. On the 16th, we predicted you would need nine or ten eggs to achieve this, so we were surprisingly close - for once.
AUCTION RESULTS
Our Easter auctions ended just after midnight last night, with several billion dollars worth of items now in the hands of a few lucky collectors. The most highly-prized object on offer was the Hazmat Suit put up by Jimmy, with this being sold to the appropriately-named Nuclear for $9,250,007,281. Duke's henchman also parted ways with a Church Coin and a Riding Crop, which were sold to COLD and TheLaughingJoke for $360,000,001 and $500,042,373 respectively.
Duke's highest-value item was a Horse collectible which raised $3,357,000,001 thanks to a winning bid by Reagan. Vinny187 was the winner of Duke's other two items, the Chocolate Egg '05 and the Cheesus '18, paying $989,423,998 and a straight $1 billion each for these two collectibles. Congratulations to all of those who won, and "ha ha ha" to everyone who lost.
COMPETITIONS AND RAFFLES
The Easter Community Events and Lucky Dip Raffle have now closed. The results of these contests will be determined and released as soon as possible. Maybe it'll be later this week, or perhaps it'll be next week. Who can say. Not me, apparently.
However, we'd like to offer some early congratulations to LustyWildDexxy, who wins our lamest citizen of the year award for paying someone off Fiverr to create their entry. You should know that we check these things quite regularly, and in our private little staff slack we always make fun of people who pay real human money to win Community Events. So don't do it, kids.
Because it's just eggnominious.
