The Breakdown
Where are all the eggs? Read below for information about where the eggs are hiding:
We've scattered the eggs in all corners of our website, with some exceptions. You won't need to hunt on pages under the following menus: "Supplies", "Artists & Brands", "Deals", "What's Fresh" (New Products, Back in Stock, etc), or the "Create & Learn" menu (including Fresh Picks and the Design Gallery). When you try and access those 5 menus in the green bar, there is a friendly reminder in the drop-down that there aren't any eggs there. Everywhere else is fair game, and you need to be logged into your account to see all the eggs. For more specifics on where the eggs can be, see the FAQ below.
How hard is the hunt?
Even if you're just a casual egg hunter, finding 50 shouldn't be much of a problem. In fact, you can find a few dozen eggs from just one click away from the LimaBeads.com home page.
If you're going for the top prize levels, you'll have to be prepared to dig a little deeper to find the eggs. You don't need to drive yourself insane (see below), but your family might wonder where you disappeared to.
Once you've found 100 eggs, it's all about your competitive spirit. If you want to stay on the leaderboard, or if you have your eye on some great prizes, you'll need to scour every last little page on the site! Warning, craziness may ensue :)

Suzanne I says:Prize questions: as Steve mentioned earlier, yes, you can only get one of each prize, to make sure they have enough to go around.
Martiana Jewelry: congratulations on finding all the eggs! I am in awe of your eagle eye.
Lima: thank you sooo much for having the hunt again this year! As crazy as it makes us trying to find those (really pretty!) eggs each year, it clearly makes us even crazier when we can’t do it. My brain start looking out for eggs and pastel colors in January.
Notes on the hunt: I’m grateful for the reduced search area this year, and I think you have a great balance of easier and harder to find eggs. Fully half of the eggs were on the non item pages. Maybe you could update your notes to make this clearer for newer hunters that they can get plenty of prizes without diving as deep as the item level AT ALL. I’m sure the hunters that are eyeing the top of the leaderboard would appreciate clarity up front on all the views/sorts/show all areas that are not included, too, to save us clicking on thousands of extra links all while telling ourselves it’s probably a waste of time. Al in all, though, I love the hunt, and will participate every year I can.
Site note: I was surprised how many Czech glass beads weren’t captured in the major color categories, e.g blue. As a shopper that was recently looking for blue beads, I think it would be helpful to make sure all beads in categories like this are color tagged so shoppers can find them.
Final note: THANK YOU for all the work you put into this hunt!

SimplyStacyJewelry says:I’m still not giving up with 234 beads found but I went ahead and placed my order. I’m so sad because I forgot to enter my 10% off coupon I received via email. That would’ve helped! Anyway, thanks for having it again this year. I missed it so much last year!
Happy Easter!

LadyDi says:Well, I didn’t make the leaderboard this year (was on it for a minute early on, lol) but I am SOOOOOO glad we got to play this year. I missed it so much last year! Congrats to all the leaderboarders, and good luck to the top 25 grad prize drawing. Can’t wait for next year!

mariman says:Congratulations to L Merrell for winning the Grand prize!
Lima Team you have made a mistake. L Merrell is not the one who found the most eggs, Martiana Jewelry is.

d j beadalicious says:Congrats to the big winner, I don’t know how the top people do it. I did the best I ever have and did stay on the leader board. I was just so glad you brought it back this year. I love your website and have been a fan for years. I know this takes a lot of work, this was such a treat with the stress of Covid! Thanks again!

Steve says:Hi all: Well, that’s a wrap! I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to all of you who participated in the hunt this year. We had to skip the hunt last year… it didn’t feel the same without it! Thank you for making this year’s hunt a success.
I know some of you saw a message announcing the grand prize winner. This was a mistake on our part–it was the same exact message from the prior hunt in 2019, and it was posted automatically by mistake. This is my fault–and I have contacted L Merrell to clear things up.
I will be posting more info & the correct grand prize winner later today. Stay tuned, and thank you for making this year’s hunt a fun one!
