ARTHUR Season 10 Scavenger Hunt

As an Easter egg for season 10, every episode included the number '10' hidden in various locations.^[1] All Season 10 episodes have a marked circular 10 icon on the episode title card.

While the season was airing, viewers could go to the PBS Arthur website to participate in a related contest: "Arthur's Crazy 10's Scavenger Hunt". (archived page) Kids who successfully located at least ten 10s, as indicated on the downloadable tally form, could submit a completed form to producing station WGBH to be entered in a prize drawing. Three winners received a home phone answering machine message recorded by Buster (Daniel Brochu). Although the contest entry form refers to thirty-seven possible hidden 10s, there are many more visual instances and other references to the number 10 throughout the season, as listed below.
