Mystery Mission Solutions

In addition to collecting eggs, you'll need to complete mystery missions to rack up program points. Each mission is worth 5–10 points, and most of them require you to use specific players in your lineup. Here are some of the mystery missions and how to complete them:

• Wait a Third...: Win a game with Gold Clay Holmes (Yankees).
• I'm Blue: Win a game with Kerry Wood.
• Whoops, He's Not Supposed to Be There: Pitch 1 inning with A.J. Puk (any mode).
• KYLE TEST: Hit a home run with any player named Kyle (e.g., Kyle Schwarber) in Diamond Quest.
• Conq Mysterymaxxing: Get an extra-base hit (XBH) with Troy Tulowitzki in Conquest.
• Back-to-Back series: Get an XBH with Nolan Arenado, Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez, and Dylan Carlson.
• Customizable Mini Seasons: Earn 500 PXP with players wearing #7 or #28 (e.g., Arenado, Biggio, Adell) in Mini Seasons.

Fastest Completion Strategy

To complete the Easter Egg Hunt quickly, follow this step-by-step strategy:

1. Start with the Moments

Begin by completing the four Moments challenges. These are quick and easy tasks that will reward you with the Orange Egg and 20 program points right off the bat. This will set you up nicely for the rest of the event.

2. Stack Your Lineup

Make sure your roster is stacked with the required players for the mystery missions. These players include:

• Troy Tulowitzki
• Nolan Arenado
• Nolan Gorman
• Juan Yepez
• Dylan Carlson
• Clay Holmes
• Kerry Wood
• A.J. Puk

Having these players in your lineup will help you tackle the mystery missions and earn points faster.

3. Complete the Conquest Map

Next, head to the Egg Conquest Map. Use your stacked lineup to conquer the map. Completing the entire Conquest Map will earn you the Blue Egg, while capturing all the strongholds will reward you with the Yellow Egg. At the same time, you'll be able to complete many of the mystery missions, saving you time.

4. Tackle the Diamond Quest

For the Pink and Purple eggs, you'll need to jump into the Diamond Quest. Be sure to include a player named "Kyle" (like Kyle Schwarber) in your lineup for the KYLE TEST mission, which will net you a home run and 10 program points.

5. Multiplayer (Optional)

If you still need points or specific eggs, play in multiplayer modes like Events. In shorter games, you can easily work toward the Green Egg by tallying 10 doubles and the Red Egg by stealing 3 bases. These can be completed quickly, and you'll earn a lot of points in the process.

6. Repeat

Once you've completed all of the required missions, you'll have unlocked the necessary eggs and program points. This will bring you closer to completing the Easter Egg Hunt program and earning the top-tier rewards, such as the Deluxe Candy Basket Pack and high-rated player cards.

Tips for a Fast Completion

• Focus on Conquest First: Completing the Conquest Map should be your priority. Not only does it unlock the Blue and Yellow eggs, but it also allows you to finish several mystery missions in one go.
• Use Specific Players: Pay close attention to the mystery missions that require specific players. Make sure to have them in your lineup from the start, so you don't waste time.
• Multiplayer for Extras: If you're good at online play, use the multiplayer modes to easily rack up doubles and stolen bases for the Green and Red eggs.
• Balance Tasks: Don't feel like you need to finish one egg before moving on to the next. Many of the challenges overlap, so you can earn multiple eggs simultaneously.
