After four long years, Roblox has finally launched a global event for their players to experience, ‘The Hunt.’
The Hunt was launched on March 15, and it is Roblox’s first metaverse event. Before ‘The Hunt,’ Roblox had previous events, such as their iconic egg hunt events in 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2020 that were released on Easter, but suddenly discontinued after 2020. A week ago, however, Roblox CEO David Baszucki posted multiple teasers on Twitter which showcased a new event, now known as ‘The Hunt.’ This sparked many users online with excitement and theories suspecting a new egg hunt. Unfortunately, ‘The Hunt’ was revealed instead as a regular hunt where players had to search and find virtual badges across 100+ games within Roblox’s platform. However, just like the previous egg hunts, these badges serve as checkmarks to help players unlock exclusive in-game cosmetics for their avatars to wear as special accessories. Although ‘The Hunt’ has been live for a few days, many players and Youtubers like Kreekcraft have mixed feelings while some are grateful for having a Roblox event after so long.
“The Hunt has been very fun so far as I’ve explored a variety of games playing together with my friends,” said sophomore Rakshith Jangity. “It’s not as nostalgic as the old Roblox egg hunt events, but I would say that this was still a joyful experience.”
