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 menu sections: "Supplies", "Artists & Brands", "Deals", "Latest", or the "Create & Learn" menu. When you use the main menu to look under those 5 sections, there is a friendly reminder in the menu 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?

0-50 Eggs

Even if you're just a casual egg hunter, finding 50 shouldn't be much of a problem. In fact, you can find a couple dozen eggs by visiting the links available in the main menu.

50-100 Eggs

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.

100-300 Eggs

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 thousands of pages on the site! Warning, craziness may ensue :)

FAQ, Hints & Tips

Are there eggs hidden inside popups, dropdowns, or slideshows?

No. We didn't hide any eggs in areas that require an additional click/tap/swipe to reveal the egg. Once a page with an egg is loaded, you should be able to scroll down and find the egg—no additional actions necessary. Just scroll, find, and repeat :)

Are there eggs on "View All" pages?

No, you do not need to access "View All" links to find eggs. It is possible that you might find an egg on a "page 2" of a category listing (or page 3, etc). But you don't need to click on any "view all" links.

View All example

Will I find eggs by changing the "sort by" option on category listing pages?

No, that will not help you find additional eggs. You will never have to re-sort products on a page to find eggs. That would just be too cruel :)

Sort example

Will I find eggs after using the "filter" options on category listing pages?

Yes, if you're trying to find all the eggs, you'll need to use the filter options in the light green filter bar on category listing pages. Using one (or a combination) of filter options will take you to new pages, which may lead to eggs. This includes filters with the word "all" in the name. If you're trying to find all 300 (yikes!), you'll need to look at all filter combinations.

Sort example

On category listing pages, do I need to go to the "next" and "previous" pages?

Yes, there may be eggs on "page 2" or "page 3", etc. (Remember, though, you never have to use "View All").

Will there ever be more than one egg on a page?

This year, there is a limit of one egg per page. In the past, we had a couple sneaky pages where you could find 2 eggs. But that's not the case this year.

Did I just see the same egg in two places?

Our website is pretty big, and there is sometimes more than one way to get to the same product or page. For example, some focal links are listed under the Charms & Pendants menu, but also in the Findings area. Technically, each egg is only in one place, but you can find some of them in multiple ways.

If each egg is only on one "page" of the website, what exactly is a page?

You can think of a page on the website as anything you can get to by clicking a link or a picture. Here are a few examples of different pages that you can find eggs on:

  • The home page
  • Any link you can click on in the green footer of the site
  • Any of our shopping categories (like Gemstone Beads, Clasps, etc)
  • Individual product pages
  • Any page that has listings of products, including pages that you get to by clicking "Next Page" when there are too many products to show on the first page
  • Starting on the Metal Beads page, and filtering down to a particular metal AND style of beads.

Are there any excluded areas?

Yes, there are areas of our website where you won't find any eggs. You don't need to look at pages under the following menu sections: Supplies, Artists & Brands, Deals, Latest, or Create & Learn.

Do I need to be logged into my account to see all the eggs?

Yes, make sure you are signed into your account when hunting. We need to you sign in so we can keep track of the number of eggs you've found.

The Rules

  • The contest ends at 11:59pm US Pacific time on April 5, 2026 (Easter). This means you need to make sure and do the following by this time:

    • Collect all the eggs you can find.

    • From the Prizes page, add the prize(s) you want to your shopping bag and place your order—all prizes must be redeemed by the end of the contest. These gifts are available while supplies last, so we don't recommend waiting until the end of the hunt to redeem them. Normal shipping rates will apply when placing an order that includes a gift.

    • Watch this page for an announcement about the grand prize gift certificate drawing on Monday, April 6.

  • There are a total of 300 Easter eggs that we've hidden for you to collect. Those are the only ones that count toward the prizes, and you must click on them to collect them. You might see some picture of eggs in promotional materials (like the ones in the grass at the top of this page)... those don't count toward your total.

  • We can't offer rain checks on the prizes, so make sure to place your order when you've unlocked the prizes, because they're only available while supplies last!

  • We think we have enough free beads to go around... but in case we run short, we reserve the right to substitute a product of equal value as your prize (hey, it's free, right?) :). We also reserve the right to update this list of rules if it needs clarification later.

  • Normal shipping rates apply. As much as we'd like to, we just can't afford to give away free beads AND ship them for free, too. If you add your prizes to an order over $50, you'll get the same free shipping you always get (in the U.S.). For international orders, or if your U.S. order is under $50, normal shipping rates will apply.

  • Please don't share the locations of the eggs. This ruins the fun for everyone :) Also, you must find the eggs yourself, without the use of robots or other computer-aided tools to help locate the eggs. We monitor where and when all eggs are found, and suspicious activity will be recorded. Location sharers and robots will be disqualified from winning prizes! Gotta keep it fair for the rest of us!

  • The most important rule: have fun!
