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!

It should be lots of fun. As we have a couple of blogs, it'll be easier to check out the main MOO blog for clues. We'll be posting clues up twice a day - once in the morning, around 11am GMT and once in the afternoon, around 5pm GMT.

Start playing now! And happy hunting!

(Warning - will contain fun, clues and prizes.)

We are *most* excited at MOO Towers. Monday 3rd March is the launch of our MOO Egg Hunt and we are busy working with a wonderful man called Corvus - an awesome clue writer.

He's had us scratching our heads, pooling our resources, searching the internet and  wracking our brains, as we try and crack his clues. (And umm - we're the people that know where the eggs are.) The clues are cryptic and fun - the kind that are mind-bogglingly complicated on the one hand, but oh-so obvious when you've worked it all out.

The Egg Hunt is going to be great fun - and more than that, there are over 3,500 prizes involved! We've got goodies from Blurb, Flickr, Ponoko, Picnik, Styleshake and Timbuk2.

There's also a a Grand Prize Draw, where you could win the Ultimate Egg Basket, worth $1000! It's packed full of goodies including a digital SLR, an iPod Nano and a handcrafted bunny - made by Kim, MOO's very own in-house bunny crafter.

Every day we'll be adding new clues in the Main Moo Blog. Eggs are hidden online (all over the place, not just on MOO), in MOO products and even in the Great Outdoors. Ho yes! We've got a little team of Egg-Hiders in different cities all over the world and they've been busy squirrelling away eggs for the last few weeks.

The first person to find each egg will win a prize - and 9 other winners for each egg will be chosen at random. There's loads of eggs and there's loads of prizes. Find out more details on the Egg hunt page, the Egg Hunt FAQs and the Rules.

Have a great weekend everyone - get your thinking caps on!
