An "Easter Egg" in the context of media and technology refers to a hidden feature, message, or inside joke that creators embed within a product. These surprises can be found in various forms, such as video games, movies, software, and websites. They often require users to perform specific actions to uncover them, adding an element of fun and discovery. The term originated from the tradition of Easter egg hunting, where colorful eggs are hidden for children to find. In digital media, Easter eggs serve to engage audiences, encourage exploration, and create a sense of community among fans who share their discoveries.
