Understanding the Egg Hunt MLB The Show 25 Event
Egg Hunt is not just another program; it’s a scavenger hunt woven into the fabric of MLB The Show 25. San Diego Studios (SDS) releases cryptic clues, typically daily during the event period. These clues point towards specific actions you need to perform within the game to “find” a hidden egg. The event usually runs around the Easter holiday period but can sometimes appear at other times.
Eggs come in various colors (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary), each representing a different tier of challenge and reward potential. Finding eggs is only half the battle. The core of Egg Hunt MLB involves exchanging combinations of these colored eggs for mystery packs or, more importantly, directly for specific player cards featured in the event.

Maximizing Your Egg Hunt MLB The Show 25 Success: Pro Tips
- Check Daily, Act Fast: Clues are usually daily. Log in every day during the event to get each clue and find the egg before you forget.
- Decode Carefully: Read clues multiple times. Check online communities if stuck; solutions are usually crowdsourced quickly.
- Prioritize Higher Tier Eggs: Focus on finding Epic and Legendary eggs if possible, as they unlock the best players with fewer exchanges needed.
- Plan Your Exchanges: Don’t just exchange eggs as you get them. Look at the exchange requirements for the players you want most and save eggs specifically for those combinations. You might need multiple of a certain color.
- Leverage Easy Modes: For clues requiring specific actions (HR, XBH, Ks), use Play vs CPU on Rookie difficulty at a hitter-friendly park like Coors Field or Shippett to complete them quickly.
- Check Inventory: Regularly view your Egg Hunt inventory to see what colors you have and what combinations you can already complete.
- Don’t Ignore “Common” Tasks: Even if a clue seems simple, get that egg! Commons are often needed in quantity for exchanges or lower-tier packs that can still yield value.
- Monitor the Timer: The entire Egg Hunt event and individual exchanges usually have expiration dates. Don’t let your hard-earned eggs vanish unused!
