Hiya everyone!
Now, we know we harked on about spring, it being in the air, and all that LAST month… but over in the UK it’s (finally) actually feeling like it!
And that’s partly down to all you lovely lot who took part in April’s awesome spring activities, whether you helped us clean up an eggtravagant mess in the Community Challenge, or built a lush, beautiful campus in the Spring Creative Competition. If you missed out, don’t worry! We’ll be diving into everything April right here, our latest Community Round-Up.
Stick around for dev stream highlights, as well as a little showcase of some of our favourite builds from the community!
Spring Wrap-Up
Two Point Campus was in full bloom with our latest seasonal update. With flowers budding all across Two Point County, a bonnet of Spring surprises landed in-game.
Whether you’re looking for items ready for blossoming, a couple dozen eggs, or bright new customisations, update 6.0 had something lovely for all. If you missed out on our Spring selection, check out our blog here for all the details!
The basketful of springtime goodies, alongside the new challenge mode level, Egg & Silver-Spoon Race, is in-game and free for you all to checkout in your own time! Alongside those, let’s burrow into April’s community events:
Community Challenge
In our Spring challenge, you headed down the Rabbit Hole, tackling the one and only Wiggy Silverbottom. Who, with his trademark combo of excess free time and a surplus of bad ideas, decided Freshleigh Meadows was in need of some ‘egg-citing’ activities…
Well, not only did you all step-up to the challenge, tracking down Wiggy’s hidden collection, but we're pretty sure the County is safe from Wiggy-related shenangians for the time being! Pointians across the County can rest assure that the eccentric millionaire won’t be causing such environmental havoc again (we hope).
To clean up after old Wiggy, you all got cracking on the Spring Community Challenge, collecting ONE MILLION eggs! You made it seem like a small challenge as everyone worked together to clean up the County-wide mess.
Congratulations to all those who contributed to the total, no matter your score, every little helped! Across the challenge duration, you found each and everyone one of the prized egg collection, reaching the grand total of one million eggs. County residents were so overjoyed to have their schools, homes and local waterways free of eggs, that they put together a lovely Spring reward for you all; the Seasonal Rabbit!
Creative Competition
A massive thank you to all who built and entered a blooming campus into our Spring competition! The entries were bright and beautiful, making us feel like Spring had truly arrived (despite all the April showers…)
The studio had the difficult job of narrowing down the entries, selecting a shortlist from among them. Getting together to look your builds, each of our panel voted independentley. The overall favourites were selected for the shortlist, from there it was over to you! All of you over in the community got to crown your winner by voting for your favourite build! You chose this wonderful build from LeeRosher. They even hid eggs for us all to find! How many can you spot?
A big congratulations to LeeRosher, and a huge thank you again to everyone who took part, whether you submitted a build yourself, or voted!
Developer Stream Highlights
Last month’s stream highlight goes to FROGGY BINS. As Steggs places lots (too many in fact) of the new froggy bin, much to our QA Manager, Kris' disgust. As the hypnotising eyes of the frogs continue to sway, he isn’t sure whether to love or hate them.
All praise froggy bins. (Froggy bins did not influence me to choose this clip).
Alongside a lot of silliness, our streams come with top tips and even dev insights with first looks at new content! So, remember, you can tune in every Thursday at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, thanks, daylight savings) to relax and have some fun with our team, as you can see we chat about lots of serious topics!
Community Creations
It’s incredible to see your builds from in-game, big thanks to you all for sharing! Here are some of our favourites from April, of course, we help but show off some of the builds from the Creative Competition. You can check out the full shortlist for the competition here, and here are some lovely entries and builds we wanted to shout out!
Raynames transported us to a land of tulip fields and windmills… lovely!
A student’s spring dream: so many places to chill study in the sun!
Nature Club lovers would flock straight to this campus!

This egg looks strangely familiar… cracking campus!
You monster. You (hilarious) monster.
