Awesome Easter idea from Moo!

For those of you not familiar with Moo, they are a great, funky company which allow you to make minicards, big cards, stickers and postcards. The clever bit is that you use your own images / photos! You can upload them direct to Moo but most people use the excellent flickr and use the photos they have already posted.

Moo have just started running an Easter Egg Hunt and it is very clever indeed! They are running it online and offline, but the latter is a stroke of genius! They have posted up pictures on flickr showing where these “eggs” are: here’s the explanation from their blog.

Our team of global friends have hidden eggs everywhere from London to Montreal, Bordeaux to Oaxaca. Not to mention; Tokyo, Paris, Niagra Falls, Toronto, New York, Brighton, Glasgow, BC, Oslo, Barcelona, Brussels, Silicon Valley, Wellington, Oxford, Austin, Konstanz and San Francisco!

Hidden up trees, in bars, stuck to statues, on walls, by rivers, near bridges, at the theatre, crossing roads, out to dinner and at the pub, our eggs really have traveled the world. If we didn’t manage to get to a city near you, we’re really sorry - but we’ve tried *really* hard, let me assure you!

All you need to do is head over to the Flickr Egg Hunt Group, and click on the ‘Map’ link. The pink dots you see are the places Eggs are hidden - and if you scroll through the photos in the strip at the bottom, even more will appear. (Remember the group won’t open until the hunt begins at 12.01am tomorrow.)

Click on your nearest location, and a photo will pop up - which, if you zoom right in, will give you a very good idea of where the Egg might be. It’ll also give you an additional clue.

What next? Go find the Egg!

Hats off to the Moo guys, love it! I am amazed they haven’t got any eggs in Hull though (The nearest one is Oxford!).

As you asked so nicely send me and email with your postal address and I can send you a small sample pack of the Easter ones. You won’t have enough time to hide them, but some of the designs are very Eastery so I’m sure you’ll find good use for them at the Easter break.

Thanks!

Jon
