Not Your Typical Easter Egg Hunt

April 11, 2020 • 10 AM–11 AM

In the spirit of social distancing, Downtown Rescue Mission is hosting a Virtual Easter Egg Hunt to raise money for increased needs created by the pandemic.

Participants will be given clues to the whereabouts of egg emojis (?) hidden throughout DRM’s website and social media accounts. Prize packs will be awarded to the top fundraiser as well as the individual or team who finds all or the most eggs first.

Prize packs include both a $25 Farm Burger gift card as well as a meal for four from Chick-fil-A delivered to your home! This meal will include four chicken sandwiches, four waffle fries, four cookies, and one gallon of Sweet Tea. (Alterations can be made to accommodate allergies.) 

A Hunt for the Homeless

Like a lot of other businesses and nonprofits, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected Downtown Rescue Mission's budget. Not only is the Mission having to purchase more food and cleaning and health supplies ($15K/week), but the primary source of its income, its eight thrift stores, have been closed temporarily.

First and foremost, this event is a fundraiser so that we can continue helping the hurting, hungry, and homeless in our community.

Preparation

  • Familiarize yourself with the Rules (below).
  • Familiarize yourself with our website and the social accounts listed on the event homepage so that when you’re given the clues, you’ll have an idea where to start looking.
  • Familiarize with the chart on the event homepage (below) showing how egg emojis can appear differently on different platforms and devices.
  • Checkout the Leaderboard on the homepage (above) to see who’s the current Top Fundraiser! 
    • To get credit for the competition, all fundraising must be submitted by 11 AM on April 11.
  • Encourage your friends and family to donate on your personal donation page!

Event Day

  • Clues will begin being posted on the event website homepage at 10 AM on April 11. I’ll hide an egg, and then post a clue. I’ll hide another egg, and then post another clue, so keep refreshing the event homepage so that you can keep getting the new clues. And as the event goes on, I may go back and add more clues.

Egg Hunting Tips

  • All of the eggs should be visible on both computers and mobile devices so you can use one or the other, or both. 
    • Make sure you know how to screen capture on your device, whether that’s an iPhone, a Samsung phone, a PC, an iMac, whatever. You can google “Take a screenshot on Mac or PC” or whatever device you’ll be using to find out how to do that.
  • If you’re having a hard time finding a particular egg, skip it and go back to it since I may be adding additional clues later on.
  • If you are really struggling to find a particular egg, send us a Facebook message (before you start submitting any screenshots). If enough people can’t find a certain egg, I may post more clues about it.

Rules

These are important! Please read them all!

  • Participants will need personal Facebook and Instagram accounts to find all 20 eggs. However, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube accounts are not required to find all 20 eggs.
  • Eggs will be hidden and clues will be provided live during the competition, April 11, 10 AM–11 AM.
  • Any attempt at cheating or hacking by any means will result in immediate disqualification.

How to Win

  • To get credit for finding an egg, participants must take a screenshot of where the egg is hidden.
    • The egg and its location must be easily recognizable in the screenshot. Participants may not receive credit for an egg if the egg and/or its location are hard to determine.
  • Participants must send all of their screenshots at one time and from one Facebook account to Downtown Rescue Mission's Facebook Page via Messenger.
    • Teams must send all of their screenshots to one person on their team who will send all of the screenshots to DRM.
    • Do not send individual screenshots as you find them. When you start sending your photos, we will assume you have stopped searching for eggs.
  • The first participant to send recognizable screenshots of all 20 eggs will be deemed the winner.
    • All screenshots must be submitted by 11 AM.
    • If no one finds all 20 eggs, the participant who has found the most eggs and submitted all of their screenshots first will be deemed the winner.
  • The participant who fundraises the most money will be deemed the Top Fundraiser.
  • To get credit for the competition, all fundraising must be submitted by 11 AM on April 11.
  • These two winners will receive prize packs that include both a $25 Farm Burger gift card as well as a meal for four from Chick-fil-A delivered to your home! This meal will include four chicken sandwiches, four waffle fries, four cookies, and one gallon of Sweet Tea. (Alterations can be made to accommodate allergies.)
