Twice now, my Gimmighoul has been on a page where I needed to be zoomed out at minimum 75% to see.
^ This is a huge problem for Mobile Users.
Twice now, dad's Gimmighoul has been on the Easter Buneary Page, an event from several years ago.

If you're going to do events like this, it NEEDS to be limited to
-Easily Accessible Pages
-Specific areas of the screen
-Not locked behind Premium, Level, Map, or Item

Above all.
STOP saying it's User Error.
Going through Site Maps 3+ times every day and still NOT finding it is NOT a User Error.
The odds of it consistently being in a place that's not normal to check is LOW.
As long as I've been here, many people have complained about not being able to find an egg or two each Easter. This is by far the loudest and most consistent Easter I have seen for complaints about being unable to find. This event is new, and the coding may have changed from previous Easters. It is entirely possible something is wrong in the code.

as for your Easter Buneary-Event, I just checked ...those would be 211 links you have to manually check if you are NOT using a site-map where the link is permanently integrated. It's 6 years ago. exactly 6 years.
that's awful and I totally agree on the Easily Accessible pages due to the fact that this event is SO long ago, newer users don't even KNOW that there was a link with an extra page back then. for them it's a huge bummer.
I'm so glad I found some site-maps and saved the links manually as groups of tabs to check at my PC. but for mobile users who don'T have this luxus, or who can't find the map in the forums, since it's not a post "oi, here , that's the site-map btw, I'm pinned to the top" you have to search for it. and good. and even there are 5 different ones with different amounts of links.
there is one sitemap out there with a total of 234 links.
that's insane on mobile. never thought about that before since it was a "I run across all eggs once" and that's it for easter. but gimmighoul is testing my nerves :'D

Could those who see Gimmighoul outside of the screen please provide a screenshot? (Besides Lycario, where I suspect that it was simply a glitch caused by their data mining)

Yep! There is a lot to like about this event but the monotony of searching the site every single day is truly annoying and tiring. Especially when it's a longer one. While I liked the old Easter event, that could be frustrating enough (even with site maps) but searching for the gimmighoul every single day is... worse.

Maybe next year, do like a cross between? The normal egg hunt so we only have to search once (for the observant players) or 3 or 4 times for players like me who have trouble finding stuff but have side tasks to keep people engaged throughout the event, much like the changing hunts with this year's.

Yes, this post is still relevant because although I've managed to find every ghoul so far bar day 1 (still looking for today's) it does fall under the 'hard to find' topic of this forum post.
