Our Easter Egg hunt competition ended last night, so no doubt you are all wondering whether you won the big prize or not. We'll get to that, but first here are some statistics from this year's Easter Egg Hunt…

A total of 6,029 people attempted our Easter Egg Hunt and found at least one egg. Of that, 3,855 people successfully found all eight of the special eggs. In total 34,995 eggs were found! It was one of our biggest Easter Egg Hunts ever. According to our data, the Orange Egg (which we provided a link to) was the easiest to find, and the Brown Egg was the most difficult.

For those of you who didn't find all eight eggs, here are the product pages where they were located:

Now for the important part; who won the prizes?

Check out this magnificent LEGO great ape that has found its way to Mighty Ape!

This wonderful creation is a bespoke model that was created by Ryan McNaught (of LEGO Masters fame) to be displayed in the Mighty Ape foyer! This was designed as a celebration of the LEGO/Mighty Ape relationship and how it has grown over the years. Comprised of 10,403 bricks, this great ape took 94 hours to build!

However, our cute LEGO friend does not have a name. That's where you come in; we need your best ideas for a name for our new LEGO friend!

Here's how it'll work:

  1. Firstly, let us know your suggestions – either here on this blog post, or on our Facebook post (limit one per person). Next week, we'll go through all of the suggestions and create a shortlist of 3 names that we LOVE.
  2. We'll create a poll and take votes for the names you like most!
  3. The winning name and prize winners will be confirmed on 01/03/22.
