Kari, the Negg Faerie, is hosting this year's Festival of Neggs again! Starting on April 5th at 1:00pm NST, Kari enlisted Neopians to find Topsi and then begin looking for the neggs he's hidden around Neopia. As in years' past, when found, Neopians are awarded with a choice of spring-themed items.
The event will run for 15 days with the first 1.5 days counting as one, running through April 6th. (The event runs through April 20th, with final prizes on the 21st.)
First Task: Find Topsi
Your first task this year (before you go hunting for any neggs) will be to visit Kari at the Festival of Neggs page and speak with her (click on her when you see the yellow exclamation point). She will greet you with the following:
Kari: Oh, hey there!
Sorry, the festival isn't ready quite yet. Normally Topsi helps me set up but I haven’t seen him in some time.
I'm actually starting to get worried about him... Say, could you do me a favour and check up on him?
No one has seen neither hide nor hair of him since last year's festival, but he must be somewhere in Neopia!
To find Topsi, head to the Rainbow Fountain in Faerieland and look for him hiding within the Fountain:
The view if you have no pending dip in the Fountain.
The view if you have a pending dip in the Fountain.
Click on Topsi to speak with him. (He's well hidden—look within the falling water.) You will find him whether you have a pending dip in the Fountain or not—so don't spend that Fountain dip if you're not ready to!
Afterwards, Topsi will return to Kari. Head back to the Festival of Neggs hub to continue the event.
Negg Locations
During each day of the event, a new clue will appear at the bottom of the main Festival page to direct you to a new hidden negg location.
After finding each negg at the locations below, you will be offered the choice between three random neggs for your efforts (there are five possible neggs, but you will only have a choice of three per day).
Negg Collection Tip: If the location of a negg is a game or a daily, make sure to collect your prize from Kari first. The prompt to collect your prize may disappear if you play the game or complete the daily first.

Discovery Text: Deep in the pile of rubbish, you find a rather foul-smelling stash of Neggs!
Kari holds the negg stash out and covers her nose "I'm going to need to have a talk with Topsi about these hiding places. Please hurry up and grab a negg so I can wash the rest of these..."
Claim Text: Brillant!
PEE-YEW! However did Topsi stand the smell of this place long enough to hide that negg?

Lying on the floor of the Merry Go Round are the tattered remains of a Space Faerie plushie that has been torn in half! Perhaps the poor plush was caught in the ride's mechanics?

Discovery Text: Inside a rusty old toolbox, you find a stash of Neggs!
Kari looks a tad worried "Congrats on finding the last of the negg stashes. Once you pick out your negg, please hurry back to the campsite. Dr Neggistential insists he has something he must discuss with us right away!"
Claim Text: Brillant!
Negg Prizes
Finding each of Kari's Neggs on the first day they are available will grant a bonus at the end of the event, signified by gold checkmarks on the main event page next to each clue. All Neggs will remain available for the duration of the event and can be collected in any order after release.
After selecting a negg, you will be rewarded with a random prize specific to that negg type as seen below:
After finding your first negg (likely at the Magma Pool if you're following along each day - but any negg location should work), you will see Topsi pop out from the side of the screen. Click on him to be given the option to join in a game of hide and seek throughout the festival.
Say, you've got a good eye, how about we play a little game of hide and seek? I am feeling quite confident in my abilities after staying hidden all year! All you have to do is find me 10 more times. Well, what do you say?
Catch me if you can...
Topsi will be hiding at any of the following locations (ANY! - it's not random, any will work), and an additional prize will be awarded for finding him 10 times during the event. You can find Topsi once a day after joining the hunt. If you find him in a location on one day, he will not appear in the same location on future days, so make sure to visit a different page each day!
Heads up! Finding Topsi is intended to be a once a day task. But, if you visit the above locations in multiple tabs, he may pop up in several of the locations at once. Clicking on him in each of those locations will count towards the 10 total required, but it's been confirmed you will not receive a prize earlier than when TNT intended.
We recommend not finding Topsi more than once per day—TNT has confirmed that they do not want Neopians finishing the hide and seek hunt earlier than intended.
After you've found him on 10 different days, you'll receive the following message:
Drat! I can't believe you found me all 10 times! Guess I still have plenty more to learn about hide and seek... Well, congratulations! I'll make sure you get an extra special prize at the end of the festival!
Final Prizes
Final prizes for participating in this year's hunt became available on April 21st, 2021. To claim them, you must visit the Festival of Neggs hub to talk to Dr. Neggistential, then go back to the Rainbow Fountain and click on Topsi hiding in there again, and then a final trip to the Festival of Neggs page will award your prizes. The festival page and award claiming were up until April 30th, 2021.
For collecting all 15 neggs on their release day, you will receive the following items.
Wow, you did it!
Not only did you help thwart Sloth's dastardly escape plan, you also managed to solve all of Topsi's clues and find every single one the Negg stashes!
As a reward for your diligence, here are some extra special prizes for you:
For finding all 15 neggs by the end of the event (not on release day, a.k.a. you have at least one green checkmark), you are awarded the following items.
Oops! After an issue was discovered with the stats awarded from a pet eating a Rare Cyber Negg, TNT additionally released the Rare Cyber Negg 2.0 on April 22nd to compensate for the error. You must return to the Negg Festival hub to claim the additional negg.
Trailer Video
2021's Festival of Neggs included a trailer video released on the official Neopets YouTube channel on April 6th, 2021.
