The Easter Event 2026 in Grow a Garden launched on April 4, 2026, and one of its headline features is a recurring Egg Hunt that kicks off every 15 minutes on every server. Ten shiny, oversized eggs scatter across the map each round, and collecting all of them earns you a random Easter reward. The catch is that the eggs don't appear in the same spots every time — the game pulls 10 locations from a larger pool of possibilities, so you need to memorize all of them to finish quickly.
Quick answer: There are 20 known spawn points. Each round randomly selects 10 of them. Check behind machines, near portals, around garden plots, and beside event NPCs to grab every egg before the next cycle.
How the Egg Hunt Works
A new Egg Hunt begins every 15 minutes on the server. You can check the exact countdown by visiting the Boppy Easter Bunny stand, which sits opposite the Gear Shop near the center of the map. Once the hunt starts, 10 eggs appear across the lobby. They resemble standard Pet Eggs but are noticeably shinier and slightly larger, making them easier to spot if you know where to look. Walk into an egg to collect it, and once you've gathered all 10, the game rolls a random reward.
Egg spawn positions are not fixed. The game selects 10 spots from a pool of at least 20 confirmed locations each round, so the route you take will change from hunt to hunt. Eggs can also occasionally appear in unlisted spots around the lobby, so a quick sweep of the full map is worth doing if you're stuck at nine.

Suggested Route for Fast Completion
Step 1: Start at the center of the map near the Angry Plant. Grab any egg sitting in front of it, then swing past the Egg Hunt Bunny and Easter Shop on the event islands.
Step 2: Move toward the machines row and check behind all four machines — Pet Mutations, Gear, Pet Eggs, and Cosmetics & Crafting. These four are close together, so you can clear them in seconds.
Step 3: Head to the Farmer's Market Portal and look on both its left and right sides, then check behind the Event Display Portal nearby.
Step 4: Run along the garden plots. Check behind Plots 1 through 4 and in the gaps between Plot 1/Plot 2 and Plot 3/Plot 4.
Step 5: Finish at the shops. Look behind the Tonny "Golden" Shop, then glance up at the Seed Shop and Sell Stuff signboards. If you're still missing an egg, do a full lap of the lobby — eggs can occasionally land in less common spots.
Egg Hunt Reward Drop Rates
Collecting all 10 eggs in a single round triggers one random reward. The loot table is weighted, so Choc Coin payouts are the most common result while Golden Eggs are rare.
| Reward | Drop Chance |
|---|---|
| 500 Choc Coins | 30% |
| 1,000 Choc Coins | 15% |
| 1× Easter Crate | 15% |
| 2× Chocolate Sprinkler | 15% |
| 2,500 Choc Coins | 8% |
| 1× Golden Egg | 7% |
| 5,000 Choc Coins | 5% |
| 2× Golden Egg | 4% |
| 3× Golden Egg | 1% |
Golden Eggs are especially valuable because they contain one of four possible Easter pets. You can also buy Golden Eggs from the Golden Egg Shop on the left sub-island for 25,000 Choc Coins, though the price doubles with every purchase.
What Choc Coins and Golden Eggs Are Used For
Choc Coins are the event's dedicated currency. You earn them primarily by growing Easter crops in the exclusive Easter Garden plot and selling them at the Easter Sell Stand, but the Egg Hunt is a reliable supplemental source. Choc Coins let you buy Easter seeds, Chocolate Sprinklers, pets like the Gummy Bear and Hootsie Roll, and more from the Easter Event Shop. Prices range from 10 Choc Coins for a common Easter Candy Carrot Seed all the way up to 50,000 for the Prismatic-tier Easter Eggfruit Seed.
Golden Eggs function as a pet capsule. Cracking one open gives you a shot at exclusive Easter pets, including the Easter Bunny, Cerberus, Chocolate Bunny, Easter Egg Chick, and Marshmallow Lamb. Because the Egg Hunt is the only free, repeatable way to earn Golden Eggs, running hunts consistently is one of the best strategies for building your pet collection during the event.
Frequently asked questions
Can eggs spawn in the same spot two rounds in a row? Yes. The selection is random each cycle, so a location that held an egg last round can hold one again immediately.
Do I have to collect all 10 to get a reward? Yes. Partial collections do not pay out. You must find every egg within the 15-minute window.
What do Easter Eggs look like? They resemble regular Pet Eggs but are shinier and slightly larger. If you've seen a Pet Egg before, you'll recognize the Easter variant quickly.
Where do I check the Egg Hunt timer? Visit the Boppy Easter Bunny stand across from the Gear Shop in the center of the map. It displays the countdown to the next hunt.
The Easter Event 2026 is a limited-time addition to Grow a Garden, so the Egg Hunt won't be around forever. Running a few hunts per session is a low-effort way to stockpile Choc Coins, Chocolate Sprinklers, Easter Crates, and the occasional Golden Egg — all of which feed into the event's broader progression loop of growing, selling, and unlocking exclusive seeds and pets.
