Programmers put a lot of hard work into their projects, whether it be an office program or a video game, it takes a lot to produce a quality product. Often these programmers will put in an "Easter Egg", which is something extra that is hidden. It can be anything from a special "credits" screen, to a hidden pinball game in Word. Here you will find how to find some in your favorite programs...

Steps

1
Look around in the program files. Many times there will be pictures or files hidden there.
2
Look in the "help", or "about" section of the program. Many times it will involve holding down some keys (like shift or ctrl) while opening the "help" or "about" file.
3
Try looking up forums for that program or game; often when people find one, they will become excited and tell everyone.
4
Try searching on Google, (i.e. (your program) Easter eggs or hidden secrets).

In games, look around and explore every inch of the game world. Often programmers will name characters something funny; it may just take a while for you to realize that it is an inside joke.

Search for the program or game on Eeggs for a huge list.
