Egg hunt is a game during which decorated eggs, real hard-boiled ones or artificial, filled with or made of chocolate candies, of various sizes, are hidden in various places for children to find. The game may be both indoors and outdoors. The egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the earth in Pagan celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the rebirth of man at Easter. Traditionally the game is associated with Easter and Easter eggs (Easter egg hunt), but it has also been popular with spring time birthday parties.
When the hunt is over, prizes may be given out for various achievement, for the largest number of eggs collected, for the largest of the smallest egg, for the most blue/red/etc. eggs, consolation prizes, booby prizes, etc. Real eggs may further be used in egg tapping contests. If eggs filled with confetti are left from Mardi Gras (cascarones) were used, then an egg fight may follow.
Eggs are placed with varying degree of concealment, to accommodate children of varying ages.

Here in our office we do not have egg hunting because we are on duty...but we do celebrate Easter Sunday by giving to our customers free candies, chocolates, bread and cookies for kids...while for the adult ones we give them free sample of medicines.
