About Mystery Egg Adoption

Mystery egg adoption is an adoption sim where you can take eggs from the page, put them on your webpage or sig, and after a certain amount of time they will hatch.


Three eggs are available at any time. The game was created by Silverwolf and runs through her website at http://pixel.alittlebitofmagick.com/, although I'd suggest reading this lens first to find out what its all about!

How to play 

Basic game instructions

Playing the game is very simple

1) Go to the game's website Website
2) Agree to the terms
3) Choose an egg and copy its code.

The game only gives BBCode, for forum signatures. Converting this to HTML for a webpage is covered below.

The egg will hatch on the date given below it. After it has hatched you have five days to save the creature to your own computer - otherwise it is removed from the server.

Because this game does not require players to work at gaining views and clicks for the eggs it is ideal for people who do not have regular access to a computer - especially as you know the date the egg will hatch and can plan ahead.

Images and interests

The webmaster of the game (a.k.a. Silverwolf) makes the images herself. For more of interest, have a look at her full site at A little bit of magic.

Converting an egg to html 

Using them on Websites as well as forums

When you choose your egg you will see BBCode like this:

[url=http://pixel.alittlebitofmagick.com/egg_a.html][IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/trishagj/Pixel%20Perfect/1-109.gif[/IMG][/url]

This is fine for forums but won't work on websites. For website use you need to convert to HTML.

A template for the HTML is here:
<a href="" target="blank"><img src="" alt="Mystery Egg Adoption" /></a>

To use it, copy and paste it into notepad and then insert the URL and image from the BB Code:

E.g.
[url=http://pixel.alittlebitofmagick.com/egg_a.html][IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/trishagj/Pixel%20Perfect/1-109.gif[/IMG][/url]

Displaying hatched Creatures 

Saving your creatures for use

Once the egg has hatched you need to download them, and if you want them online you need your own webspace to refer to. The creature shown here hatched in December 2008, and has been uploaded to this module.

To continue using a hatched creature in a sig on online, you will need online storage. If you don't have your own webpage, you could use a free host like Angelfire to store them. Alternatively, you can save them to your PC and build a collection offline.

Remember copyright still belongs to SilverWolf, so a link back to her page from a hatched creature is required, by the terms of the game.
