an INSIDE JOKE – żart dla wtajemniczonych (a joke that only some people will understand)
to EVOKE – przywoływać (to bring to mind, to make you think of)
an EASTER EGG HUNT – szukanie jaj wielkanocnych (an Easter tradition where children look for sweets hidden in a garden/park)

(2) An Easter egg, not to be mistaken for the chocolate kind, is a hidden treat within a piece of software that was put there by the developers.

NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR – nie mylić z (it is not the same as)
a TREAT – nagroda, smakołyk (a prize)
a PIECE OF SOFTWARE –aplikacja/ oprogramowanie (an app or a computer program)
a DEVELOPER – twórca (the author)

(3) Keep reading to see 10 Easter eggs and references in "Beauty and the Beast" you may have overlooked.

a REFERENCE – odwołanie (talking about something else, here: showing something else)
to OVERLOOK – przeoczyć (to miss, not to see)

(4) Easter Eggs aren't just chocolate as every film fan knows. Here are some of the best ever sneaky movie moments.

SNEAKY – sprytny (clever)
