Show your true colors with Treasure Isle flags

Treasure Isle Flags
Treasure Isle rolled out a set of 34 new animated flags today, and each one will be around for a limited time. These flags come perfectly timed with the FIFA World Cup 2010, and we're sure that isn't a coincidence. You can now represent your homeland (or your favorite team) by purchasing one of these bright and colorful flags. Each flag costs 12 Island Cash, which is definitely not cheap, especially for a simple flag (and let's face it, who wants to fly just one flag? We want a whole mess of flags on our islands). As an added bonus, buying a flag will give you 72 XP.

These flags vary from the United States, UK, and Australia, to more obscure flags such as Turkey and Thailand. They also through in a Zynga logo flag, a Treasure Isle logo flag, and an Earth flag. Not every Treasure Isle release is super exciting, and flags are definitely not a new invention in the social gaming world. Perhaps people will be motivated by the limited time availability, since these flags are only going to be purchasable for the next 5 days.

See the complete collection of the new Treasure Isle flags after the jump.

Treasure Isle: What's going on with the new Mysterious Egg?

Treasure Isle Mysterious Egg
If you logged in to play Treasure Isle tonight, you may have noticed that a mysterious egg has randomly washed up on your island. Once you click "okay" on the initial popup when you first load in to your Home Island, you can then place the Mysterious Egg anywhere on your island. You can then click on the egg and "investigate it" however the only thing that occurs is a window with the following message:

    I wonder where to take this to hatch?


We're a little baffled by this, because that's it. There is no further details about what can be done with this egg. Players are trying to buy various items from the Market and place the egg inside to no avail. This truly is a mystery egg, because there does not appear to be any clues whatsoever about what this could be. After it is placed, the egg does occasionally float up and hover over the ground.


Our early prediction is that this egg will be taken to the Fire God Mountain and placed in the circle pictured above in front of the statue. It seems to be the perfect spot for the egg, and it's clear that the Fire God Mountain is coming soon with all of the buzz lately. This is just another fun way that Zynga are growing the anticipation for the new volcano maps, and we can't wait to see what's next.

What do you think the Treasure Isle Mysterious Egg will be used for?

Treasure Isle Atlantis: Venture deep into the forbidden city soon

Atlantis
When you've explored nearly every mysterious island sitting on the high seas where else can you go? Well, you could always go down. In Treasure Isle, players will be exploring the forgotten, underwater city of Atlantis in Zynga's next content update. While details are essentially nonexistent, this could very well be the first time us adventurers will be on the hunt for treasure under the sea. Expect plenty of ancient Greek references considering the first recorded references to the ancient mythological city were in 360 BC from the philosopher Plato's writings.

Stay tuned to the blog for when we finally see Atlantis open up after thousands of years of being invisible to man.
