Search for odd items. As you move through the DVD menus be aware of any icons or items that appear out of place, such as an offset icon or menu choice that does not conform to the DVD layout.
Move the menu selector to all areas that are accessible. At each menu selection move the menu selector in every direction. Often the Easter Egg will not be in plain view but can be found by moving the selector.
Visit Easter egg DVD sites on the Internet. While this is the easiest option, not all Easter eggs are listed on the Internet. But even if a particular DVD is not listed, some of the specifics for other DVDs can give a user ideas to use on non-listed DVDs. (See Resources below for DVD Easter egg sites.)
Use a computer DVD drive, if available, for easier Easter egg access. While most people prefer to watch DVD on their entertainment systems, computers with their peripherals like the mouse provide easier access to the DVD Easter eggs.
