Easter Egg Hunt

Rules

1. Setup: divide eggs so that each player has the same number of eggs (in 2006: 18) and no two players have eggs of the same colour.
2. Hide: players have five minutes to hide their eggs within the designated zone (in 2006: the ground floor at 9 Fulton, excluding any places where an egg might not reasonably be expected to survive a day intact, such as say inside a toaster).
3. Search: players have fifteen minutes to find other players’ eggs. A player must not pick up or move an egg that s/he has hidden, except to access another player’s egg. Players may give each other hints, helpful or not.
4. Score: if any of a player’s eggs have not been found by the end of the search phase, that player loses a number of found eggs equal to the number of missing eggs. These penalty eggs are distributed as evenly as possible to other players.
5. Trade: players are encouraged to trade eggs to get their favourite flavours (consult the Leonidas catalogue for details).
6. Eat: players have until Easter of the following year to eat their eggs, but are reminded that Leonidas eggs are best eaten quickly. Found eggs are the property of the children who found them, and should not be eaten by parents (or grandparents, Laraine!) without the express permission of their children.
7. Aftermath: Eggs that are found after the hunt are the property of the organisers and will be disposed of at their discretion.
