As today is the first official day of the easter egg hunt on Box Critters, here is the guide!

Locate the three eggs in these locations. The order in which you collect the eggs DOES matter, start on the very left and work your way to the right.
Step 2:
Wear each egg item to get the corresponding easter bunny ears
Then walk around in this location, wearing the easter eggs
While wearing the green easter egg you will recieve the white bunny ears
While wearing the purple easter egg you will recieve the pink bunny ears
While wearing the blue and purple egg you will recieve the blue bunny ears

Fox Critters?:

“Someone asked for a fox critter. What do you think? Do you think the fox should join the thieves guild with the raccoon? My guess is they are both stealthy critters. Remember to follow @BoxCritters”

Moonwalk ‘bug’ not planned to be fixed!:

“For those that may have missed my tweet. I do not plan to fix this bug. The moonwalk is pretty cool.”

Hamster And Raccoon camping:

“Silly Racoon get out of the picture! Busy working on some more new items for @BoxCritters”

“Should Box Critters me have postcards? My gut says no. I think Box Critters should have direct messages with emojis or stickers. Thoughts?”

No plans for playercards:

“I have been asked if @BoxCritters will have player cards?!? No plans to create player cards. I plan to create more of a player profile. This will provide you with more information, a bio, achievements and player history.”

Viking Helmet Out!:

Eyebrow rework for the hamster:

” Yeah. I think the eyebrows look better. Especially with the new emoji faces that we are working on. Your thoughts? ”

Rework to the animatons to work with clothing!:

” Busy reworking the animation to work with clothing and items. ”

Box Critters Clothing:

” Hey @BoxCritters fans! Clothing items are coming along nicely. Let me know what you think of the pirate hamster and his friend the kung-fu sock monkey? ”

Items on the critters in animation:

Racoon Outfits:

” I need your help. Which of the following Raccoon outfits do you like best? “

First look at critters in Experiment 2:

” Ha! Development on Experiment 2 continues. The new character and items now work. Next is to build an inventory system. ”

Racoon Outfit:

” Thanks for your feedback. Fixed the eyes and the mask to make the Racoon look more happy and went with the toque. I guess I’m too Canadian eh? ”
