Zanzibar Easter eggs

The sign that reads "Camp Froman", overlooking the Sniper spawn

On the Halo 2 multiplayer level, Zanzibar, there are three main Easter eggs to be observed: the Camp Froman sign, the Seasonal Signs, and the Blue-screen Error Message.

In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, viewing two different signs unlocks the Destination Vacation achievement.

Camp Froman

On the raised platform where the Sniper Rifle spawns, there is a sign on the back wall that reads "Camp Froman." The sign references the Bungie developer Luke Timmins' gamertag "Abe Froman SK", as he was apparently notorious for camping in this location while playing on this map. The sign can be seen in an updated form on Last Resort in Halo 3.

Seasonal Signs

Along the beach, there are a variety of messages visible on certain days of the year. Each of these coincide with holidays:

• On 01/01 (New Year's) the sign reads, "Baby Shark Petting", and has a picture of a little kid petting a smiling shark.
• On 07/07 (Bungie Day), the "No Swimming" sign has a poster taped over it with a picture of a decapitated dog's head with what looks to be rabbit ears instead of dog ears. It reads "Are you finding Ling-Ling head?" This is a reference to an ongoing Bungie joke about needing the head for world domination.
• On 10/31 (Halloween), it is a warning sign reads, "Danger, Carnage Zone" and shows a figure being disemboweled on a yellow and black background.
• On 12/25 (Christmas), it reads, "Danger, This Soffish, DO NOT EAT!" and shows the Soffish on a dinner plate. The Soffish is an old Bungie inside joke referring to a water-absorbent, toy fish called "Soffish" that "If finding please return to Bungie."[1]

Blue-screen of Death

Blue-screen of Death in the main building on Zanzibar

Along the causeway overlooking the main building's floor is a terminal, that, when activated, opens the gate. When activating the terminal, the screen switches to a "blue-screen" error (that occurs on the Microsoft Windows OS), commonly referred to as the Blue Screen of Death. The text on the screen is as follows:

A total FU exception has occurred at your location.
All system functionality will be terminated.
*Press any key to power cycle the system.
If system does not restart; scream at top of lungs and pound on keypad.
*If you need to talk to a programmer press any other key

Press any key to continue_

Trivia

• It is possible to see the signs when it is not the correct date. First put the date of one of the signs in the Xbox or PC options and then play Halo 2 (while not connected to the internet or Xbox Live) and go to Zanzibar. If done correctly, the corresponding holiday message should appear.
• The sign on October 31 is the same as the Splatter Medal in Halo 3.
