One beady eyed shopper posted on popular Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK: "I know it’s a bit early but found this in Morrisons. You can make a egg hunt with Amazon Alexa so Alexa can give the kids clues. Brilliant idea"

The Peter Rabbit themed pack contains 22 Cadbury eggs and and the AI speaker Alexa can help with an egg hunt.

On the back of the pack it explains that 'Hide and Find' is the new interactive game that can connect to Alexa to provide an easter egg hunt game.

Parents set up the game online here, connect it Alexa through the website, hide the eggs and then all you need to say is "Alexa start the egg hunt", and the games afoot!

While the pack is currently sold out online at Morrisons, the mum found one in her local store.

The eggs can also be found in other supermarkets across the UK.

The post quickly gathered 1.3k comments and nearly 100 likes.

But shoppers were left divided over the involvement of technology.

Dani had tried it before and commented: "It’s really good id love to do it again this year. Well worth it for the kids."

"Why does technology always have to be involved?? Just make up clues yourself it's not that hard!!" Sami argued.

Jody hit back: "Because it so hard to hide eggs give clues ourselves."

But Gemma thought it was a better solution: "This looks good. Anything’s better than the one I did at ours last year."

"Next level egg hunt!" Gillian commented.
