- For general sense of "easter egg", see Easter eggs.
The Festival of Eggs is Dragon Cave's annual egg hunt, coinciding with the real-world Easter holiday. The Festival has occurred every year since 2010.
“While I don't have a pretty picture for you this time, I'd like to announce a two-day event that is unlike any other: The DC Festival of Eggs.
What is this festival of eggs? Well, it's very similar to an easter egg hunt. For the next two days, special eggs designed just for the event will pop up in random spots on the site. Click on them and they'll go in your "basket." Everyone can see your basket, and the more you collect, the more full your basket is.
So get searching!
Every five to fifteen minutes, a special egg appears on the next page. When clicked, a little egg basket appears at the top of the user's scroll, and users can click on it to see the eggs they have collected. The color of the baskets differs between scrolls, and the amount of eggs within increases at certain milestones.
Collecting eggs[]
During the days of the Festival, eggs will appear in random locations on any page of the Dragon Cave site. Users can click on the eggs to collect them. As these are event collectables rather than true eggs, users do not need to have an egg slot available to collect them.
After an egg is collected, the next egg will appear at a random interval between 5 and 15 minutes. Refreshing the page or navigating around the site will not decrease the interval. Once an egg has spawned, it will continue to appear until the user collects it. Eggs will continue to appear throughout the event, until the user has collected all of the eggs from each year of the event. Users can view their collection by clicking the egg basket badge at the top of their scroll. The badge will appear once a user has collected an egg from a Festival.

Basket badge[]
The badges replaced the big baskets after the 2010 Festival ended. With the following Festival of Eggs events, the small badges were obtainable again for those who missed out on the previous events in the years before.
