FREEZER BUNNY HUNT: Suns Out, Buns Out

On the 14th July you may have seen this fridge prize in your inbox:

This was a teaser for the Freezer Bunny Hunt. There are 3 types of Freezer Bunnies which will be hiding in SimTown and each day of this new update we will receive clues (and a small gift) to our inbox to help us find the hidden Freezer Bunnies at different locations around SimTown.

This is a community event so if one player finds a bunny then that counts for everyone playing (you may not have access to some locations if you are a new player)

NOTE: there is no interaction when you find the bunny, it just needs to be in the frame on your device to be counted

There are 3 phases, each lasting 6 days. If all bunnies have been found at the end of the 6 days we will all receive a prize to our inbox.

Phase 1– 21st July
