About

Wild Wasteland keeps track of who found which easter egg first.

Games, movies, TV, music, real life. If someone hid it on purpose and someone else found it, it belongs here. Each egg gets its own page with proof and the name of the hunter who posted it. Once a moderator checks, it also gets the name of whoever found it first. Every game, movie, show or album gets a basket with its eggs, the things it references and a leaderboard of the people who know it best.

There are plenty of easter egg lists out there. Most of them never say who found anything.

What counts

The classic definition is a message or feature hidden in a game on purpose. We cast a wider net, because hunters do: references, homages, jokes, secrets, hidden rooms, hidden messages, bonus features, cheat codes, glitches, exploits, audio samples, parodies, deleted content, hidden tracks, real-life crossovers. If you had to go looking for it, post it.

Two kinds of credit

• Documented by is whoever wrote the egg up here first. It's set when you post and never changes.
• Discovered by is who actually found it. Sometimes the same person, sometimes someone on a forum in 2009. Moderators check discovery claims against dated public proof before it becomes a Discovered by stamp.

Who runs this

One founder and a small crew of volunteer moderators from the baskets' own communities. They verify eggs, merge duplicates, fix filing and decide reports. Everything they do is logged. Want in? Once you have 10 eggs in a basket and 30 days on the site, apply from that basket's About tab. Or email legal@wildwasteland.com, or come say hi on the Discord.
