Easter eggs as full guides

Decided, 12 Nov (Ryan): 01 Step cards. Built only when Ryan says go.
Style and navigation: 04 Night edition, 03 Hub of tiles. The phones use the app’s own stylesheet. This replaces the easter-egg list on page 4. Research: how the big GTA V guide sites do it, and what we do better (docs/design/research-easter-eggs.md).

An easter egg is something to go and do in the game: a mystery to follow, a set of collectibles to find, or a puzzle to solve under the right conditions. So the Easter eggs tile becomes a library of guides. Each guide says up front what you need (time, weather, mission, character) and what you get, then walks you through it step by step, with every step’s spot on our map and “the moment” from a creator’s video. “I found it” ticks it off in your tracker. Three ways to lay out a guide; every phone plays the same story.

Three kindsMysteries (clues in order), Collectibles (numbered sets with a tracker) and Puzzles (do it in order, under conditions).

Conditions as chipsTime of day, weather, a mission you must finish first and which character, always at the top of the guide, never buried in a paragraph.

“The moment”The exact seconds from a creator’s YouTube video, played in YouTube’s own player with a start and end time, and credited. We never download or re-host anyone’s video.

Your tracker“I found it” saves progress on your phone: 12 of 50, which are left, and which one to look for next (the nearest to your last find), all on our own map.
