Community Crunch 221: The Return of Eggcellent Adventure

Eggcellent Adventure 5

Beginning Tuesday April 7th until April 21st, survivors will be able to experience our annual Eggcellent Adventure event on PC, Xbox, and PS4! While much of the world is at home, we wanted to give you some new adventures to hunt down.  During Eggcellent Adventure 5, survivors will be able to collect special “Bunny Eggs” across the ARK from wild Bunny Dodo’s. These Bunny Eggs can be painted or used in special Cooking Pot recipes to craft new holiday-themed item skins such as the Spear and C4 skin, as well as 10 returning skins.

Similar to past Eggcellent Adventure events, Bunny Oviraptor’s will drop festive Dino Candy. Collect the candy and feed it to your tames for a special festive effect! To top it all off, wild creatures roaming the ARKs will also find themselves sporting some eggcellent colors!

For those that are looking to expand their chibi collection, you’re in luck! You’ll be able to collect the past chibi’s we’ve introduced with the addition of 6 new chibi pets by placing and cracking event-themed eggs from wild bunny dodos.

Eggcellent Painting Contest

Easter_1_STA.jpg

Want to show off your creative side?  Similar to last year, we are bringing back the community egg-painting competition.  After you’ve found a Dodo egg, place the egg down on the ground and take out your paintbrush and dyes. You’ll be able to paint select regions on the egg as well as free-hand paint it with the brush to paint any design on it. Have fun and get creative!

There will be three competitions with a prize for the winner of $100!

  • In-Game Painting
  • Real-life Egg Painting

For the in-game egg painting, players are expected to paint their own designs and downloading templates or images to use is not allowed.  For the real-life egg painting, we’re looking for you and your tribemates to get together and paint some eggs in real life that somehow reflect the world of ARK! Screenshot or photo quality won’t be taken into consideration but try to get a picture that best shows off your egg.

The entries will be judged by our community team. Submissions are limited to three eggs per survivor, so choose your best egg. You’ll have the month of April to enter, with April 30th being the final day to enter. Submit your images in the comments below, and we look forward to seeing your creativity!
