Achievement
When you unlock your first egg, you should get the notification right away that you got the Easter Egg achievement. But don't let that discourage you from finding the other two. There's a special container found in Charlotte's room to display your eggs and a very special invitation waiting just for you.
Phantomlete (aka Barrel Egg)
After you get the second message from Harper about the cotton gin and balancing the scales; you'll open the secret passageway to the tunnel that leads to the basement. Walk through the hole in the wall and go forward once and stop. Pull out the EMF meter and notice it is giving off a high reading. Put the EMF meter away and inspect the wall with your cursor. The cursor indicates something is behind the stone. Click on the highlighted stone and reveal a barrel inspired egg.

Reverse Chicken Ghost (aka Eye Egg)
Once you're able to be in the crypt without Harper; you can begin the bird puzzle on the middle coffin in the far left column.



Solve the tanagram puzzle.


Take the numbered note strips. Close the coffin.


Now you can begin to get the eye egg. Open and close the same coffin, five times. On the fifth opening the skeleton's head will turn towards you with an eye egg in its left eye socket. Click on the egg and add it to your inventory.


Congrats! That wasn't morbid at all.
Spooky Side Up (aka Decorative Egg)
In order to get the decorative egg you first need access to Charlotte's room. Once you have access to it; click on her desk and then click on the little jewelry box. Then click on the bottom of the box.



This will open up a color tile puzzle. You must already have the colored tiles in your inventory from the wine rack in the basement. Use the tiles on the puzzle and click on all tiles in the left column. From there click on all the tiles in the bottom row and finally up all the right column tiles. Once all tiles are pressed correctly; the bottom drawer will open revealing a decorative egg.
What Can I Do with the Eggs? Part 1
This part requires you to have the bonus edition of the game that has phone charms enabled. Since the version on Steam is considered a standard version; this isn't possible until you enable a cheat from within the game. Once you enable the cheat from within the games cheat menu you can proceed to use the eggs to unlock the Tractor phone charm.

Again, this will not work on the Steam version unless you enable the cheat.


Here you can see me trying to grade each egg on the scale. It's not working even though I am clicking the left mouse button. This is because this is the standard version of the game and bonus content is disabled by default. Let's change that, shall we?


Here I am enabling the cheat menu from within the game. Once I turn on the bonus content; I am able to go back to the grading scale and use an egg on it. Here I use the barrel egg to trigger the phone charm. Once the egg is on the plate the side will push up revealing the Tractor phone charm. Take it and it will automatically be attached to your phone as shown.


Also, you only need to use one egg. It doesn't matter which as it will only trigger the phone charm once.

Please note that if you continue to part two without doing part one you will never be able to come back as the eggs will stay in the container in part two.
What Can I Do with the Eggs? Part 2
And here we are at the end of this journey. Once this part is done it is impossible to go back and do anything else with the eggs. Unless you saved prior to doing this part, of course.



Once you have all the eggs; you can take them over to the round container sitting on a covered up chair in Charlotte's room. Open the the container and put each egg into it's holder. Barrel (left), Decorative (middle), and Eye (right). Once the eggs are placed; you'll hear the familiar chicken audio and a hidden side panel will open. Click on the piece of paper to read it.

Or read it here; if you'd like! Nothing happens after this and all of your egg tasks are complete.


Hmm..why does this remind me of the Haunted Mansion? Where would you prefer to reside for all of eternity; the Haunted Mansion or Thornton Hall? Curious minds would like to know! 🤔
