Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales

Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales is the ninth annual Egg Hunt event that started on March 28, 2018. For this egg hunt, players have to find eggs across different worlds. Certain eggs may be found at random, while others are earned by completing quests. In the years past, Roblox hosted Egg Drops in 2008 and 2010, the first Roblox Egg Hunt to be held in one place was the 2012 hunt, and the first Roblox Egg Hunt to be held in a game universe was the 2014 hunt. For this egg hunt, players will try to find eggs across different worlds. The players will receive a badge when an egg is found and the egg corresponding to the badge will be obtained as a wearable hat as well. The game is compatible across multiple platforms, including Xbox One.

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, a group owned by InsanelyLuke.

Trivia

 * The game features 45 eggs, which is the highest amount ever in ROBLOX history of the Easter Egg Hunt.
 * The user PartyMonsterToast won the Egg Hunt 2018 Custom Egg Contest and his egg is available in the hunt. Being the Radio Egg, which was fully designed by him.
 * 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 last year's hunt.
 * During development, the badges on game spelt out a sentence on the images saying "WHAT'S UP GUY'S - 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.
 * 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, with the new hashtag #notmyegghunt
 * The Egg Capone strongly references American mobster Al Capone.
 * This game features two Fabergé eggs, the Feathered Fabergégg (which, like the Fabergegg, can only be obtained after all other eggs have been obtained) and the Garbagé egg.
 * 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.
 * As mentioned, Dr Deville d'Egg appears the second year in a row, which is a new ROBLOX record.
 * In the intro segment Booker shows off an unknown egg which makes Booker's pet evil. The unknown egg might be the Egg of All Devouring Darkness from 2012 as the egg is presumably ancient.
 * The description for the Dance Dance Eggolution egg references the song “Dancing Queen” by ABBA.
 * The Japanese symbols in the Demeaning Egg's description refer to the Internet meme "Decearing Egg", hence their similar names.
 * Billy Bonka is a parody of Willy Wonka.
 * The game features many references to other events from the past.
 * These references include Egg Hunt 2013, Egg Hunt 2014: Save the Eggverse!, Egg Hunt 2017: The Lost Eggs, ROBLOX Heroes, Hallows Eve 2017, and ROBLOX Holiday 2017.
 * This event might also be in the same universe as Egg Hunt 2013, Egg Hunt 2014: Save the Eggverse!, Egg Hunt 2017: The Lost Eggs, ROBLOX Heroes, Hallows Eve 2017, and ROBLOX Holiday 2017, if this is true, this means that all of these events are connected and all of those events take place in the same universe, and storyline.
 * References include the description of this event stating in the storyline, this Egg Hunt took place a year after Dr Deville d' Egg was defeated, this is a reference to the Egg Hunt 2017: The Lost Eggs event.
 * Another reference is the Egg Hunt 2013 Sugar Egg, which like the title says, references Egg Hunt 2013. (However, this has led to the confusion of many users, as Sugar Eggs were only present during the 2012 Egg Hunt. Why the Sugar Egg instead references the 2013 hunt is unknown.)
 * Even more references include the Super Egg, which has the egg-shaped design of Captain Roblox, who appeared in Heroes of Robloxia, this is a reference to the ROBLOX Heroes event.
 * The fourth reference is the boss battle with Rabid Rabbit, who was captured every member of the Heroes of Robloxia team in the new "Return of the Rabbit" map, this is a reference to the Egg Hunt 2014: Save the Eggverse! event.
 * The fifth reference is the Mad Scientist Egg, which is an egg-shaped form of Dr. Stein, who was the antagonist of the custom game titled "Hallows Eve 2017: A Tale of Lost Souls", this is a reference to the Hallows Eve 2017 event. There is another reference to Dr. Stein from Hallows Eve 2017: A Tale of Lost Souls, which his physical appearance is in the Stein's Basement map in the game. Stein's Basement map is yet again, another reference to Dr. Stein, like the title of the map suggests.
 * The sixth and final reference is based off of another antagonist from another event, Scrooge McBlox from the ROBLOX Holiday 2017 event. Scrooge McBlox appeared in the custom game titled "Mountaineers", which was a custom game made for the ROBLOX Holiday 2017 event. In the game, there is a new map called the "Blizzard Valley" map, in which the physical appearance of Scrooge McBlox appears again, but this time he isn't evil, instead he is good now, this is a reference to the ROBLOX Holiday 2017 event.
 * Despite being the 9th Egg Hunt overall, it is technically the 10th. This is due to the fact that the 2010 egg hunt was redone as the game had broken.
 * You can find a fish in the corner at the top in the portal Return of the Rabbit (the portal where you can get the Super Egg) It could possibly be an easter egg.
 * You can also find a fish in the water of the docks in Capon Yards of Hardboiled City.
 * Egg Hunt 2018 surpassed the concurrent player count of Jailbreak, which at the time, was also running an event.
 * In Festival of Eggs if you talk to Anne she will say "Shoutouts to Simpleflips." A reference to the meme Shoutout to Simpleflips and YouTuber Simpleflips.
 * In Festival of Eggs, one of the developers references the game Undertale, as they speak of a skeleton stacking hot dogs on their head - an easter egg in Undertale.
 * One of the robots in Blizzard Valley reference "maximum overdrive" - part of a joke from Spongebob.
 * The whole area of Wonderland Grove is a reference to the book "Alice in Wonderland".
 * Rock That Looks Like An Egg Rock is a reference to a scene in Gravity Falls.
 * In the Ruined Library there are eggs on display from previous egg hunts.
