The big name in gaming hardware, ZOTAC, is shocking the community in this Easter celebration. The esports division called ZTORM instead brought the fans in on the hunt for hidden treasures by using “magic.”
They transform their gaming room into an Easter egg hunt venue. The tweet, filled with egg emojis and hype, has simply asked, “How many Easter eggs can you find?” and pretty much every gamer can be found scrambling to decode the clues.
No replies yet? Wild. ZOTAC’s stunts usually drew immediate pandemonium in the replies– meme wars, conspiracy theories about hidden GPU discounts, or at least someone yelling: “But can it run Crysis?” But the silence here is…suspicious. Either the hunt’s too hard (doubtful), or the eggs are too well-hidden (likely). Or maybe–twist–the real Easter egg was the friends we made along the way. Nah, probably just free stuff.
For those who don’t know, ZTORM is basically the esports aspect of ZOTAC, and, as I said earlier, does crazy little community happenings in between their loud competitions. Like last year, they hid a gold ticket inside a graphics card box (yeah, just like Willy Wonka), and the prize was a rig worth more than some cars.
This happens to be in the line of the storms they create: part game, part marketing genius, and, 100 percent batshit insane.
What is in those eggs? Your guess is as good as mine. VR headsets? Limited-edition GPUs with bunny-ear coolers? A mysterious teaser for their next product drop? (ZOTAC has been hinting at a monster reveal this spring.) Or maybe it’s just boasting how they’ve got the coolest gaming room ever. Fair.
Pro tip: Zoom in on that tweet image. ZTORM’s team loves burying clues in plain simple RGB glowing, cryptic server codes on monitors, or even sneaky QR codes stuck under desks. Last time, someone found a clue in the reflection of a staffer’s sunglasses. These people are next-level.
No pressure, but crack it and slide into ZOTAC’s DMs quickly because their Easter giveaways vanish faster than most GPUs at MSRP level. Happy hunting, and may your frame rates be high and your egg counts higher.
