Egg Hunt update and a Mini-Challenge
Well, we're eggtremely sad to say the Online Egg Hunt and the hunt for Eggs in the Great Outdoors is finally over. Friday's winners are listed at the end of this post, and winners of the Outdoor Hunt will be notified in the next 3 days. There are, however still some Eggs hidden in orders making their way across the globe, so look out for them - and if you do get lucky, fill in your details on the Egg Hunt page, to claim your prize.
Don't forget there's still the Ultimate Egg Basket prize draw too! On April 21st, we'll select one overall winner from all the correct entries we've received, to win a basket full of upto $1000 worth of prizes.
Thanks to everyone for playing! We've really enjoyed your puzzling, your teaming up, your 'Eureka!' moments, and the fantastic little poems of Corvus, our wonderful clue-writer.
And, talking of poems, we've decided to have a Mini-Challenge.
Pen us a poem about Egg Hunting, clue-solving or MOO istself and post it in the comments below. We'll pick one winner on Friday afternoon to win a special prize. Go on - you know you want to!
We'll start the ball rolling with a couple of poems in honour of Corvus, The Cluewriter himself:
Here's Alicia's poem:
He came to us, an angel
Behold in golden hues
He stepped up to the challenge
To write for us some clues
With very little notice, and very little time
He produced within minutes, his first amazing rhyme
These poems were ever so beautiful, at writing he is adept
These poems took you all over the big wide internet
He helped you find our Eggies, he helped you crack the code
And for his work, forever, our gratitude he's owed
-----
And here is mine:
Corvus, thank you for the help
You gave us all at MOO
How could we do a hunt without you?
I really haven't a clue.
It's been great fun
We've enjoyed the ride
We're sad it had to end.
But one things for sure,
We know it's true,
MOO's got a brand new friend.

Think you can do better? (I don't doubt it). Well - Get cracking!
