Pysanky Maker – Craft Your Own Stunning Slavic Easter Eggs

Step into a world of tradition, artistry, and vibrant color with Pysanky Maker, a charming egg-decorating game inspired by Slavic Easter customs! Whether you grew up painting Easter eggs or are new to the delicate craft of pysanky, this relaxing and creative experience will captivate you with its beauty and cultural roots. Created during a game jam alongside the talented folks from Emerald Activities, Pysanky Maker lets you recreate the intricate and symbolic art of Eastern European egg decorating. From Poland to Ukraine, these dyed eggs—called pisanki or pysanky—tell stories through their layered patterns and reverse-coloring magic.

How to Make a Pysanka (That’s the Fun Part!)

1. Draw with Wax (aka Crayons!):

Start by “protecting” parts of the egg you want to keep white by using beeswax. In the game, you’ll use crayons and traditional droplet-shaped stamps (inspired by real pinhead tools!) to create swirls, swoops, and beautiful patterns.

2. Dip in Dye:

Use the Hand icon to carefully dip your egg into your chosen dye color. The longer you leave it, the deeper the hue! Want a cool ombre effect? Pull the egg out slowly, and let the gradient magic happen.

3. Repeat and Reveal:

Melt the wax to reveal your hidden designs, or add more wax to protect newly dyed areas before layering on another color. The challenge? Your egg gets darker with each dip, so plan ahead and get creative with your color journey!
