This part is for the leaders and individual submissions, You build the site, hide the eggs. Here are some ideas for what to plant...

CSS
Conflicting styles

Two rules that fight each other. Maybe a z-index that blocks clicks, or a color that only breaks at certain widths.

HTML
Hidden elements

A div with display:none that contains a secret message. Or a data attribute with a flag. Or a comment with a clue.

JS
Console secrets

Log something to the console that only shows up when someone actually opens DevTools. Classic.

UX
Broken interactions

A button that does the wrong thing. A form that submits to nowhere. A link that looks right but goes somewhere unexpected.

A11Y
Accessibility gaps

Missing alt text, no keyboard navigation, bad contrast. Real bugs that members can learn to fix properly.

FUN
Rickroll button

A button that looks innocent but redirects to a rickroll video. Classic rickroll easter egg that's both fun and tricky to find.

AUDIO
Sounds

Add audio hints, achievement sounds, or funny messages when they do something in the site.

EASTER EGG
Konami code

Trigger something cool with the Konami code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A).

TRICK
Click me repeatedly

A button that does something special after clicking it 5, 10, or 20 times. Users have to figure out the magic number.

ANY
Other

These are just a few stuff that might be there. The weirder the website, the better and fun.

What even is this?

A scavenger hunt for code. Club leaders build websites with intentional bugs and hidden stuff. Club members find and fix them. Individual participants can also create their own websites and submit them.

Do I need to know how to code?

A little bit helps. But if you can right-click and hit "Inspect," you can start finding stuff. You will learn the rest along the way. For individual participants, a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JS is helpful for making the website.

What counts as a "find"?

Bugs, broken features, accessibility issues, hidden content, console messages, data attributes with flags. If it's wrong or hidden, it counts.

What do clubs need to submit?

For clubs, submit PR(name.md with details and website link). The website and PR have to be checked and merged by your club leader before submitting this form. Your name.md file must include the fixes made and the easter eggs found in the website.

What do individuals need to submit?

For individual submissions, the website must be fully made and brand new. It should contain at least 3 easter eggs, 5 bugs, and 1 hour spent. The list of bugs and easter eggs should be clearly listed in your README.md, and you must also have a fixed version of the site. Please note that your submission can be used by clubs, you will get additional grant if used so make sure your websites are high quality and fun!

What's the reward?

Merged PRs earn grants through PullQuests. It's a YSWS (You Ship, We Send) program by Hack Club.
