Summary: Celebrating two decades of voxel-based creativity, the global sandbox phenomenon Roblox has officially kicked off its highly anticipated platform-wide event: "The Hunt: Roblox 20".
The limited-time anniversary event went live on September 17 and is officially scheduled to close on September 28 at 10:00 AM PT. With the clock ticking down, millions of players are rushing to complete their badges. This definitive guide clarifies the exact rules for progression, secret quests, and the highly competitive ultimate prize. Players who plan to spend Robux during the event can also use Roblox Gift Cards as an option for adding balance to their accounts.
How Portal Progression Actually Works
At the center of "The Hunt: Roblox 20" hub map, players will encounter 20 massive time portals representing the years 2006 to 2025.
To clear up common community confusion, here is how you must approach the game modes:
The Base Portals: You are NOT forced to play in chronological order. You can jump into any year's featured game (from Jailbreak to Adopt Me!) in whatever sequence you prefer to earn standard era-themed UGC rewards.
The Secret Quests: While the order of the base portals is flexible, you must fully complete all 20 main storyline portals before the game allows you to trigger and participate in the hidden, endgame secret quests.
The Ultimate Prize: The Top 20 Dominus Race
For the most hardcore completionists, the true endgame of the event lies in the "Year Infinity" phase. However, early rumors stating that anyone could easily craft the grand prize by casually collecting fragments are completely false.
The exclusive Dominus headwear reward is a high-stakes competitive race. Only the first 20 players globally who successfully complete the final, intricate riddle and puzzle layers of the Year Infinity phase will be awarded this legendary, ultra-rare cosmetic. For the rest of the community, completing the phase will still yield highly prestigious anniversary badges and custom profile banners.
Roblox Plus Subscriber Benefits
Active Roblox Plus subscribers get a slight edge in navigation, gaining early access privileges to the main event hub during specific hours and the ability to claim 3 additional subscriber-only UGC items by hitting standard milestone markers.
Nostalgia Easter Egg: Don't forget to check your client settings! During the event, Roblox has reintroduced a limited-time Classic app theme. Activating this toggle instantly transforms your application icons, fonts, and UI color palettes back to the iconic old-school Roblox style.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I still get the Dominus if I play casually?
A: No. The Dominus headwear is strictly limited to the top 20 players in the world who solve the final decryption puzzle first. If you are starting now, focus on the free standard UGC rewards instead.
Q: Can I unlock the hidden secret quests early?
A: No. The game hard-locks the secret quests until your event badge tracker shows that you have successfully completed the main objective in all 20 historical portals.
Q: Do I need to spend Robux to enter the Year Infinity phase?
A: No. Accessing the final phase and attempting the puzzles is completely free, provided you have completed the prerequisite 20 main portals. If you want to expand your avatar collection beyond the event rewards, you can also Buy Roblox Items for additional customization options.
Final Countdown
As a reminder, "The Hunt: Roblox 20" closes permanently on September 28 at 10:00 AM PT. Once the event concludes, all unearned era badges, limited UGC rewards, and anniversary achievements will become completely unobtainable.
