Happy Tuesday!

At this time of year, Easter eggs are a delicious treat, mostly out of chocolate, and can be found hidden around the house or the garden.

But of course they can also be found all year round as hidden messages, images or features in software, video games, films, or other electronic media.

The term and concept was born when a game designer, unhappy with the lack of recognition he received for his work, hid his name in a secret chamber tucked inside a 1979 Atari video game that a player would stumble upon after completing a specific sequence of moves.

Luckily, after the hidden message was pointed out to Atari by a user, Steve Wright, the manager of the company’s home video game department, recognised the value of this hidden treasure and made hiding more of these “Easter eggs” a company-wide mandate.

And that’s how Easter eggs made it into pop culture!
