The MLB The Show 26 Egg Hunt Program is one of the most fun ways to earn big rewards, including the coveted 90 OVR Jackson Merrill. With 7 Hidden Eggs and 9 Mystery Missions, it might seem overwhelming at first, but with the right approach, you can finish it efficiently and boost your Diamond Dynasty roster quickly. Here’s a simple guide to finding every egg and completing every mission.

How to Find Every Egg

Each egg is worth 10 Program Stars. Here’s what you need to know:

Egg Color Mission Requirement Location / Mode
Orange Complete all 4 Egg Hunt Moments Moments
Blue Capture all territories on the Egg Map Conquest
Yellow Capture all strongholds on the Egg Map Conquest
Pink Receive as an Epic reward Diamond Quest

Focusing on specific game modes for each egg helps you unlock them faster.

Mystery Mission Solutions

Mystery Missions are worth 10 stars each and often require certain players or actions. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Wait a Thi – Win a game with Gold Clay Holmes (Yankees Team Affinity).
  • I’m Blue – Win a game with Kerry Wood.
  • Whoops, He’s Not Supposed to Be There – Pitch 1 inning with Live Series AJ Puk (appears often in BR drafts).

  • KYLE TEST – Hit a Home Run with any player named Kyle (like Kyle Schwarber) in Diamond Quest modes.
  • Customizable Mini Seasons Length – Earn 500 PXP with players wearing jersey #7 or #28 in Mini Seasons.
  • The "Back" Sequence – Tally 1 XBH with each of these four St. Louis Cardinals players from the historic July 2, 2022 back-to-back-to-back-to-back game:
    • Back: Nolan Arenado
    • Back-to-Back: Nolan Gorman
    • Back-to-Back-to-Back: Juan Yepez
    • Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back: Dylan Carlson

Stacking your lineup with these players makes completing multiple missions in a single game much easier.

Fastest Completion Strategy

  1. Moments First – Start with all four Egg Hunt Moments. This instantly unlocks the Orange Egg and gives 20 Program Stars.
  2. Stack Your Lineup – Use Cardinals players (Arenado, Gorman, Yepez, Carlson) and pitchers like Clay Holmes or Kerry Wood to clear multiple Mystery Missions at once.
  3. Grind Conquest – Play the Egg Map to earn the Blue and Yellow Eggs while completing the XBH and win-based Mystery Missions simultaneously.
  4. Finish Online – Quick Event games are perfect for the Red Egg (3 stolen bases) and Green Egg (10 doubles).

Using this approach, you can minimize wasted time and focus on the most efficient path to Jackson Merrill and other rewards.
