Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales

Egg Hunt: The Great Yolktales was the ninth annual Egg Hunt event that started on March 28, 2018, and ended April 20. For this egg hunt, players had to find eggs across different worlds. Certain eggs could be found at random, while others were earned by completing quests. The players received a badge when an egg was found and the egg corresponding to the badge was obtained as a wearable hat as well. The game is playable on iOS, Android and Xbox One in addition to PC. The game is still playable, but the egg hats will no longer be given.

On April 2, 2018, Fifteam announced a new world coming out at the end of the first week of April.

As of April 5, this new world is "Fractured Space" and was released which only contains the Fifteam Egg.

The Mirage
On April 18, 2019, the same day of the Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time release, a new world was added to Egg Hunt 2018: The Mirage. In this world, The Egg of Origin can be obtained by shining four mirrors at the forcefield surrounding the egg.

Ruined Library/The Grand Library
The Library is the main world (also known as the lobby), where the player starts off and gets their first egg, the Inkwell Egg. This world is also the home of the protagonist's friend, Booker.

Wonderland Grove
This world takes place in a fantasy land inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Merlin's Swamp
This area is accessed through Wonderland Grove by going through the book above the big tree. It takes place in a swamp and some mountains and is inspired by King Arthur.

Easterbury Canals
This world, based in Venice, Italy, is a bustling city filled with canals, restaurants, and other attractions.

Stein's Basement
This area is based on the original Frankenstein's Basement.

Hardboiled City
This world takes place in a 1940s urban city based on New York City, where crime is common throughout.

Festival of Eggs
This area is made up of floating islands holding a giant amusement park themed after eggs.

Fractured Space
Fractured Space is an area in which all other worlds are together. It is stated by Father Eggsavier that all the worlds are connected here and that as a result of players traveling between worlds, many pieces of maps become trapped here and float around aimlessly.

Ruins of Wookong
This area takes place in a (mostly) South American rainforest holding an native American tribe and ancient ruins throughout.

Return of the Rabbit
This area takes place in a facility with trapped heroes from the Heroes of ROBLOXia event.

The Undernest
This area takes place in a dark Hell/Underworld-like area, led by Lord Aymor with Skeleton Birds soaring through the area.

Blizzard Valley
This area takes place in a snow-covered town during the holiday season.

Special Eggs
These eggs do not require a specific world to go to obtain.

Objective-based Eggs
These eggs require a certain number of objects to be collected across multiple worlds to be obtainable.

Crayon Locations
Three crayons are hidden in each world, once all three crayons are obtained from each world, the D.I.Y. Egg can be claimed at the upper right side of the library.

Puzzle Piece Locations
To start the Fifteam Egg quest, you have to own the Aymegg. Then speak to Mr. Roblox at Egg Society. He will ask you to fetch eleven Puzzle Pieces. Then return to Mr. Roblox and then he will send you to the Fractured Space for the Fifteam Egg.

Unused Eggs
Six eggs were not finished when ROBLOX released the event early. As of April 7, 2018, they were confirmed on the Fifteam Discord server by a moderator to be red herrings and were published to divert attention away from the Stained Glass Egg, an item for the Ready Player One event.

Other Eggs
These eggs are part of Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time.

Development
The game was officially announced on March 6 via a post on the Roblox Blog. Development for this game began in October. The game was created by Fifteam.

Other

 * The game features 50 eggs (counting the Stained Glass Egg, Mysterious Sugar Egg of the Search Continuing, Egg of Origin, Video Star Egg and Eggmin 2019).
 * Gurt was published to the avatar shop as a shoulder accessory in August, obtained as a prize for completing an objective in the Roblox Summer Tournament (2018).
 * The user  won the Egg Hunt 2018 Custom Egg Contest and her egg is available in the hunt. Being the Radio Egg, which was fully designed by her.
 * In each world, a literal red herring (redfish) can be found. This was added to distract players from the eggs, as a red herring is also a distraction or diversion.
 * This concept was a prank by InsanelyLuke and Aotrou.
 * Originally, as soon as the game was finished, the doors to the library would open and allow players to exit the library while old, scrapped eggs would rain from the skies. This idea, however, was turned down.
 * This was the last egg hunt to include non-game eggs, if Mysterious Sugar Egg of the Search Continuing is taken into account.
 * During development, at the 50th badge spot, there was an odd badge with the name of "50. And take it with you when you're gone..." featuring fanart of DieSoft (by GrottyPuff) who worked on Egg Hunt 2017.
 * During development, the badges on the game spelled out a sentence on the images saying "WHAT'S UP GUYS" and "AOTROU". Aotrou is one of the developers of this year's hunt.
 * Prior to the game's release on March 28, 2018, seven more badges were released; all of which featured the image of InsanelyLuke, the owner of Fifteam except the last one. These became the non-egg achievement badges.
 * This is the first egg hunt to feature a badge for speedrunning the game or completing it under 2 hours. The timer starts when Booker asks you to introduce yourself and ends when the library is restored after defeating Aymor.
 * The names of the badges during development spelled out the lyrics to Macklemore's "Glorious".
 * The placeholder title for the game during development was called: Animal Crackers: The Game.
 * This game was heavily criticized for being late to launch, and also bringing back fetch quests from Egg Hunt 2017, causing the new hashtag, #notmyegghunt.
 * Fractured Space, the world housing the Fifteam Egg, features assets from every other world, including assets that were scrapped during development, such as the Bird House (Undernest) and the Castle that the egg can be found it (References in the storybook in Merlin's Swamp)
 * This game features two Fabergé eggs, the Feathered Fabergégg (which, like the Fabergegg, can only be obtained after at least 40 other eggs have been obtained) and the Garbagé egg.
 * Despite being the 9th Egg Hunt, it is technically the 10th overall. This is due to the fact that the 2010 egg hunt was redone as the game had broken.
 * Egg Hunt 2018 surpassed the concurrent player count of Jailbreak (which at the time was the longrunning #1 game) within minutes of the game being released which was also running an event (Ready Player One).
 * On April Fool's Day, fake Fifteam Eggs spawned around the library, usually in places that were difficult to reach, and awarded the player nothing. They have since been removed to avoid confusion with the actual location.
 * Several things were changed during the Easter Egg Hunt itself, such as only up to five players being able to be Merlin's Swamp at any one time as opposed to the standard 48 when it first started, the sewage current in the Secret Hideout in Sunnyside Heights goes up and down much faster and a ladder is installed to access the roof instead of having to wall jump. The boss music for the Skeleton King was changed and the houses near Vash from the Undernest are now colored purple to make his location more obvious.
 * Pieces 4/11 and 9/11 to complete the Portal for Mr. Roblox were originally beside a few crates inside the Chocolate Factory and inside one of the ports that unlock after defeating Rabid Rabbit respectively. However, most likely due to complaints that it was time-consuming to obtain the pieces and it was almost identical to obtaining the Treasured Cuisine Egg and Super Egg, the two pieces were shifted to their current positions.
 * The Egg Hunt was supposed to end on April 11 but was extended to the 20th for players to have more time to collect Eggs as stated on a Twitter post by ROBLOX.
 * Some eggs used to have their names altered in-game to be different from their official name. This is because the developers weren't aware of the final names until the hats were released, the day before release.
 * The Egg of Wishes was renamed to the "Egg of Well."
 * The Newsie Egg was renamed to the "Newspaper Egg."
 * The Garbegé Egg was renamed to the "Garbege Egg." (No acute accent in the second E.)
 * The Treasured Egg of the Wookong Jungle was renamed to "Treasured Egg of the Jungle Temple."
 * The Super Egg was renamed to the "Super Easter Egg."
 * Sirius Drake, the Shopkeeper, and Vash, the masked guy who resets your data, are brothers.
 * This was the first egg hunt to feature its own moveset, with diving and double jumps.
 * The Dance Dance Eggolution Eggs minigame is a reference to Dance Dance Revolution.
 * The egg hunt was extended twice. It was originally supposed to end on the 11th of April, but it got extended until April 16 and was then extended to the final date of April 20, when it ended.
 * The Egg Hunt 2013 Sugar Egg is the only egg that has numbers in its name.
 * In the Mirage Map, two eggs from Eggstravaganza 2010 are seen inside a hidden cave. When you talk to the eggs, they speak to you how they also want to be a limited item like all the other eggs in their year and how they are angry at the Roblox community because they completely forgot about them. The two eggs are the Dark Crimson Egg of Nemesis and the Golden Faberge Egg of Hivemind.
 * This is the current top egg hunt map to participate in more than one event, those being the Egg Hunt 2018, Ready Player One, and Egg Hunt 2019.

Ready Player One

 * A quality assurance tester for the game known as VullcanRaven was the first to find the Golden Wings of the Pathfinder for the Ready Player One event. It is unknown whether the account was, in fact, able to get it through the hunt, but this has acted as evidence that the final mission may take place in The Great Yolktales.
 * VullcanRaven was soon terminated, possibly to avoid confusion over the prize winner.
 * The Stained Glass Egg is the disguise hinted in the Dominus Venari mission in the Ready Player One event.
 * There are 9 worlds, which include Fractured Space (World 6), Mega Corporation (World 7.5), the Office of Creators (World 8) and the Mirage (World 9). Fractured Space contains the Fifteam Egg, and Mega Corporation hosts a final confrontation between the Gunter and Dr. Mega. After the Gunter has gotten 7/10 questions correct, they will be transported to the Office of Creators where they will view a panorama of Roblox's history before receiving the Golden Wings of the Pathfinder.
 * The obstacle course in Mega Corporation (World 7.5) was nerfed heavily and you will now have 180 seconds to answer the 10 questions, up from 60 after April 6.
 * This is the third event to have an egg related to a sponsor. The first was The Three Stooges and the second was Walking with Dinosaurs.
 * The Stained Glass Egg was originally unobtainable on the Xbox One port of Roblox, due to the fact that there's no Chat-Tab to use Dance Commands on the top of the small, blue tree stump.
 * But this changed on the game's latest update. The player now just needs to jump on the top of the tree stump to trigger the purple object.
 * Since the event had ended, Players do not need to wear the Stained Glass Egg in Harboiled City to click the "URGENT" sign anymore. This update would most likely be added because players can no longer get the Stained Glass Egg.
