I've spent the last couple of day searching and have only been able to find one of the hidden icons

I have 3 now, I think that is as many as there is at the moment? Good Luck

avatar
April 16, 2011 at 4:27 PM

I`m afraid I get a litle manic until I`ve found the last one my husband tells me I need a sraight jacket whenever one of the hunts is on

avatar
Rosslyn said:
April 16, 2011 at 6:26 PM

well I haven't been able to find one, let alone five that someone told me they have :(

avatar
April 16, 2011 at 6:50 PM

Can someone tell me where you actually find them - i.e. individual puzzle pages, main screens etc etc. I have only found one! Someone has found 5????!!!??? WOW!

avatar
kepp said:
April 16, 2011 at 7:00 PM

click on my profile, and among the blogs, but nothing found for the last 15 mins searching

crowgirl said:
April 16, 2011 at 7:22 PM

I've only found one so far!

avatar
April 16, 2011 at 9:51 PM

I believe they are not pinned to any particular page. As far as I can tell it seems to work on the number of pages you visit, and it doesn't matter if you are just refreshing the same page over and over again. I have found six so far. Some take longer to find than others. Once I have clicked on a found item it doesn't appear on any of my pages again.

avatar
winnjazza said:
April 17, 2011 at 12:35 PM

I agree CalypsoBelle - no set page. I have just found the 6th one. My last one was on my inbox screen. Happy Hunting!!

avatar
April 17, 2011 at 4:34 PM

As CalypsoBelle you just have to keep looking everywhere I also just found my 6th one.Happy Hunting to everyone even if I don`t win I love to keep looking for them.

avatar
April 17, 2011 at 4:35 PM

Some have found 7 I only have 6

avatar
cbksmum said:
April 18, 2011 at 7:40 AM

If you miss clicking on one because a page refreshes (connection/computer issues!), will it reappear somewhere else later? Or is it just gone?

avatar
gogrease said:
April 18, 2011 at 8:26 AM

I am pretty sure it will pop up somewhere later...has happened to me before

avatar
April 18, 2011 at 8:40 AM

Still only 6 not having much luck!

April 20, 2011 at 1:02 PM

I am getting annoyed at this hunt, the things are too hard to find. They do not come up when you play games. I am here to play games.

avatar
April 20, 2011 at 3:15 PM

Why get annoyed with the hunt it`s a bit of fun that many of us enjoy,and I have found most of mine while playing the games I like and at the moment I have found 11. Happy Easter

avatar
mumtime said:
April 20, 2011 at 5:24 PM

Found 9 so far. This is great. I do the trivia on each page while I look.

avatar
April 20, 2011 at 6:09 PM

Ha! Me too mumtime :) Happy Easter all!

avatar
Debs74 said:
April 20, 2011 at 6:21 PM

Yes I do the trivia on every page too, I have found 12 so far but some are quite hard to find, makes it all the more interesting. Good Luck everyone & Happy Easter

avatar
Pluck said:
April 21, 2011 at 9:26 AM

I also do the trivia each time. Happy Easter and good luck with the hunting.

avatar
April 21, 2011 at 6:16 PM

I would like the competition to continue for a few more weeks. I never finish on time, but I enjoy finding the icons and get frustrated when the competition finishes and I have a few left to find. I would not expect to win a prize, just have the pleasure of finishing.

avatar
April 21, 2011 at 9:33 PM

Happy Easter everyone and good luck in the hunt. I have found 12 so far but it has taken me AGES. Keep going you will find them soon....There are probably more for me to find yet but maybe I should go and do the dishes!! LOL.

avatar
fce said:
April 22, 2011 at 1:19 PM

These things are so hard to find. I only have 8 so far.... not much hope of finding them all. I need to do the housework !!

avatar
April 22, 2011 at 5:51 PM

I am also having trouble finding the last few but i get a little bit manic trying to find them.Just do your best I find it so much fun Have have a great easter. I know it`s great to win a prize but it`s so much fun just looking for them

avatar
tanzya said:
April 23, 2011 at 12:16 PM

I don't think ou can find them all yet - New items will be released each day during the course of the competition

avatar
April 23, 2011 at 1:44 PM

I have 16 now

avatar
April 25, 2011 at 6:11 PM

I have 1 more to go I can`t stay on the computer all day or I run out of internet time now I have to work out what is the best time and unfortunatly I think as they say it`s just a matter of pure luck so all the best to everyone looking for tokens and may the best person win. But don`t you just love the excitement of looking for and finding a token.

avatar
Debs74 said:
April 25, 2011 at 7:17 PM

I have one (1) more to go too, good luck to you all & yes Anne it is luck of the draw, have enjoyed doing this & this being my first one :)

No you just have to be logged on and start looking

Two days ago the rabbit icon popped up for me just as the screen was changing - and I haven't seen it since so that was disappointing. However it is a fun competition.

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 12:35 PM

Has anyone found the last one yet?

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 12:49 PM

I found the last one twice and the icon wouldn't load!! I clicked on it several times and it just wouldn't do anything. Oh well...will have to keep trying.

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 12:56 PM

So many people would be on the site at the same time, it's a bit slow. Maybe you should have just sat and waited. Good luck!

avatar
kisskiss said:
April 26, 2011 at 1:16 PM

Yippee! I just found it! I clicked on the last icon and then the entry form came up. Thanks, that was fun!

avatar
Addy said:
April 26, 2011 at 1:40 PM

I clicked on the icon too and it woudn't load.

avatar
pepsimax said:
April 26, 2011 at 1:42 PM

icon picture missing in box,waited for a while, clicked on it to get an page error message :(

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 1:45 PM

Yes...frustrating isn't it? I had this happen 3 times now :(

avatar
vampire said:
April 26, 2011 at 1:55 PM

I had that happen to me as well. But after hours and hours of searching - finally found the last item. Whew!

avatar
pepsimax said:
April 26, 2011 at 1:56 PM

keep trying...finally got it !

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 2:00 PM

Phew! Finally got it...

avatar
Pluck said:
April 26, 2011 at 2:06 PM

Clicked on the Icon and the entry coupon appeared no problem. Thanks Youplay . . . that was fun!

avatar
Addy said:
April 26, 2011 at 2:42 PM

Got it at last. Was heaps of fun.

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 2:46 PM

How exciting, up till late, eyes hanging out of my head, just looking & hoping as I have 18 also, good luck all!

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 3:35 PM

I finally found the last one!

avatar
winnjazza said:
April 26, 2011 at 3:58 PM

Yep, I've just spent all day searching. Finally found no.19 but got that error message, drat! I guess I'll just keep looking and hopefully it will work the next time.

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 5:20 PM

I also got error message on last icon. Has anybody actually found an icon after the error? It seems a little unfair when you are so close. I don't understand why there is an error anyway.

avatar
gogrease said:
April 26, 2011 at 5:40 PM

Yes I did....but it took 2 hours of constant searching to find it! I thought it rather unfair too as some members found it straight up and others kept getting the error.

avatar
daffydill said:
April 26, 2011 at 5:44 PM

Woo hoo! I finally found them all.

avatar
jazzyjulz said:
April 26, 2011 at 5:49 PM

I also found icon missing and nothing happened. Guess that means I lost it. Boo hoo

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 6:53 PM

I found the last one & got the error message too, have now been looking on and off for a couple of hours and haven't had it again... :(

avatar
jodavet said:
April 26, 2011 at 6:58 PM

got the error too. Given up. The prizes aren't worth the effort

avatar
Debs74 said:
April 26, 2011 at 7:51 PM

Yah, obviously not the first but it is completed now, didn't get the error message & entered the first time - It was a fun thing to do but man what a time waster!!! :-)

avatar
April 26, 2011 at 8:37 PM

Im beginning to think that when some of us found an item with an error message, that a winner has actually been found at that point no more items to be found! my guess

Mist said:
April 26, 2011 at 8:58 PM

Game of skill? Do not think so.

avatar
Sabby said:
April 26, 2011 at 11:51 PM

I've given up too as I can't find the remaining 4 icons and I assume the same people who win these contests will, win again

avatar
April 27, 2011 at 3:35 AM

Sabby it`s not a case of the same people winning I always enter as I do find them a lot of of fun and frustrating I also had trouble with the last one but glitches do happen I havn`t won anything as yet but I sill do them for fun.

avatar
April 27, 2011 at 10:20 AM

I got the glitch too but I soooooooooo love these competitions- Love just playing the games till one pops up. Thanks for the comp - the glitch I take it is all part of the fun.

Probably too late to win anything, but I found my last one this morning. I love the hunts.

April 27, 2011 at 11:11 AM

Well done yplayers and thanks yp admin too for offering us all the chance for a bit of searching fun and possible prizes. Remember too it's offered to all of us for free and it's up to us to decide the committment we wish to give.....not really hard just click away and who knows you may end up winning something for nothing. Thanks again.

avatar
fce said:
April 27, 2011 at 11:31 AM

I agree Birdman, but they have an obligation to make it work. I really feel for the people who couldn't get the last icon to load. It really was a bit frustrating and I must admit it lost its pleasure. I spent hours over the weekend playing to get the icons and the degree of difficulty in gettig the icons annoyed me. On the positive side it made me discover Suduko, and I really enjoy it!

avatar
relle said:
April 27, 2011 at 12:22 PM

I've enjoyed the games & have to admit it has been fun finding each icon..found the last one yesterday..maybe in with a chance! Good Luck everyone! Thanks YP!

avatar
April 27, 2011 at 3:13 PM

As Birdman01 said it is free to play and know one is forcing anyone to play it can be frustrating sometimes but most of us play for the fun of it I am one of them even if I don`t win I still really enjoy the excitement of it I get a thrill out of finding them thanks youplay. Can we have something similar for the Melbourne Cup so for those of us that don`t actually put on a bet it can add a bit of fun for the day. Thanks youplay

jessie,its very exciting being one of the easter hunt winners,thanks you play,i wonder if you would consider a lovatts melbourne cup hunt,find all the horses,and/or their riders./or their saddles/whips/hats/etc.and have a winners cup as last object to find.just an idea,

avatar
relle said:
April 28, 2011 at 5:28 PM

Thanks YouPlay for the easter hunt competition which I was also a runner up! It was great to have a chance with the hunt rather than trivia as I don't think I'll ever get the huge scores that the really good players achieve. Royal Fever has made me brush up on history lessons also, & it is helping the brain remain active! Thanks to 2 special girls that make it fun in the chat room also!

Congratulations everyone. I didn't get a prize but got one in the previous hunt. I had lots of fun anyway. Thanks YouPlay. Maybe a Melbourne Cup hunt would be a fun idea as diana1 suggested. Thanks again.

Hi YouPlayers, congrats to the winners of the Easter Hunt! Unfortunately this time around there was a small glitch that affected some players, but as they would have been told through Support Tix this in no way affected the outcome of the comp (it was not the last item that registered an error). In saying that, we hate it when a technical issue interferes with our promos and it has been well and truly fixed for the future! Thanks to all those who suggested a Melbourne Cup Hunt (but keep your eyes peeled because I think we can deliver a new Hunt sooner than that!). Happy Royal Wedding watching - Jess

My chocolate bunny arrived! Delicious, thanks, YouPlay. Do the magazines come separately? I'm dying to see what you send. Better sent separately in case the mag ends up covered in chocolate, I guess.

The Easter Hunt was so much fun, and now a pleasant aftermath. I think I'll be busy for a while now, thanks to you. Cheers, Beauregarde :-)
