The Hunt: Roblox 20 Year Infinity Unlock Guide

Year Infinity is the encore phase of The Hunt: Roblox 20. It is not a twenty-first historical year on the 2006–2025 track — it is the unlock you earn after you finish and claim every historical quest from Crossroads through Grow a Garden (2025). When the hub recognizes the full set—especially after you claim Grown From a Garden—it opens a second roster positioned as 2026 and beyond. If you treat the 2025 badge toast as the finale without claiming, you will miss the encore entirely.

Important mid-event caveat: as of mid-event coverage, the Infinity game roster is not fully confirmed publicly. This guide will not invent a fake list of encore experiences. When Infinity unlocks on your account, trust Hub markers and in-game objective UI over rumor spreadsheets. We will fold confirmed names into Updates and All Quests only after they are verifiable.

Official hub: The Hunt: Roblox 20. Public event window runs from September 17, 2026 at 3 PM PT to September 28, 2026 at 10 AM PT, with Roblox Plus early hub access from 9 AM PT on September 17. Infinity still has to fit inside that close time.

Unlock condition (non-negotiable)

Year Infinity unlocks only when all of these are true:

1. You completed the anniversary quest in each featured game from 2006 through 2025.
2. Each corresponding badge registered.
3. You claimed each year’s hub pedestal UGC—including the final Grown From a Garden claim after Grow a Garden.
4. The hub timeline shows the historical track cleared rather than sitting on a mid-year gate.

Owning a pile of late badges without early claims will not open Infinity. Direct joins do not bypass the hub’s chronological turnstile. If 2025 is claimed in inventory but 2019’s pedestal was skipped, fix claims first using the claim rewards guide.

For the historical objective list and UGC names, stay on All Quests. Softlock-prone 2010 details remain on the Pizza Place walkthrough. Mid-timeline deep dives: Sword Heights, Natural Disaster Survival, Base Wars.

What Year Infinity actually is (without inventing the roster)

After the unlock, the hub surfaces the Infinity phase: an additional slate of featured games positioned as the best of 2026 and beyond. Marketing and player guides often describe about twenty encore experiences, but public confirmation of every title is incomplete mid-event. Expect the same Hunt grammar you already learned — enter featured experiences, complete event objectives, and return for progression — scaled into a second lap rather than a single boss room.

Conceptually:

• Historical track: twenty years, twenty UGC staples, strict 2006→2025 gate ending at Grow a Garden / Grown From a Garden.
• Infinity track: encore games unlocked only after the historical claim set is complete—follow the Hub, do not pre-write a fan roster here.
• Shared deadline: both tracks live inside the September 17–28 event window unless Roblox extends it in a later update notice.

Infinity is the reason speed runners leave buffer days. Clearing Grow a Garden at 9 AM PT on September 28 leaves almost no time for encore experiences before the 10 AM PT close.

Why players miss the unlock

Common failure modes:

• Stopping after the 2025 badge toast without claiming Grown From a Garden at the hub.
• Assuming Infinity is a separate Roblox place that appears in search without hub completion.
• Leaving Pizza Place, Base Wars, or World // Zero “for later,” then running out of calendar.
• Claiming out of order mentally while the hub still waits on an earlier pedestal.
• Confusing Plus cosmetics (Roblox Plus Hard Hat, Noob Attack: Birthday Bash, The Twentieth Teapot) or Classic theme perks with Infinity access.
• Waiting on an invented “confirmed Infinity list” instead of finishing 2006–2025 claims.

If your hub still highlights a mid-timeline year, Infinity is not broken — the historical gate is simply incomplete. Walk the timeline from the first unclaimed pedestal forward.

Timing strategy before September 28

Build a schedule that treats Infinity as mandatory content, not optional fluff.

Days 1–2 (launch)

Use Plus early access if you have it. Clear 2006–2009 (including Sword Heights) and claim each UGC. Start 2010 on a solo Pizza Place server while you are fresh. Push through NDS, Base Wars (hop buggy servers), and as much mid-timeline as energy allows. Goal: do not still be fighting Crossroads on day five.

Mid-event days

Knock out medium errands (MM2 coins, Blade Ball Tix, Dress to Impress rounds, Berry Avenue roles) in focused blocks. Reserve longer sessions for Jailbreak’s five rescues and the World // Zero tower. Keep claiming after every badge — unclaimed stacks are how Infinity unlocks “mysteriously fail.” Watch the secret badge phase around September 19 ~1 PM ET on Updates without pausing historical claims for rumor hunting.

Final 48–72 hours

Your target is historical completion with at least one to two full days left. That buffer is for Infinity’s encore games (whatever the Hub actually lists for you), hotfix downtime, and personal schedule slips. If you are still on 2018 with two days left, switch to triage: skip social browsing, solo the sticky quests, and use the all-quests checklist as a stopwatch list—especially the Grow a Garden 2025 fruit deliveries.

Morning of September 28

Do not plan to start Infinity at 9 AM PT on the end date. Plan to finish leftovers or polish Infinity clears before 10 AM PT. Event closes are hard; unfinished Infinity objectives generally do not stay earnable afterward.

Practical unlock checklist on the day you finish Grow a Garden

1. Finish the 2025 objective in Grow a Garden and claim Grown From a Garden at the hub.
2. Verify inventory for all twenty historical UGC names on the Rewards Hub.
3. Rejoin the hub once to refresh timeline state (also helps if you saw failed to check badges earlier).
4. Look for Year Infinity / post-2025 portals or hub messaging—do not invent missing portals from third-party lists.
5. Enter the first Infinity-featured game the Hub shows and confirm an objective appears.
6. Keep using the badge → hub return habit you learned on the historical track.
7. Watch updates for Infinity-specific hotfix notes and any newly confirmed roster names.

If Infinity does not appear after a clean 2025 claim, re-check for any year missing UGC in inventory. A single skipped pedestal — often 2010 after a stressful Pizza Place clear, or 2012 after Base Wars bugs — blocks the encore.

How Infinity changes your priorities

During the historical track, some players skip “boring” UGC because they only want later cosmetics. That habit is dangerous: every skipped claim is a locked turnstile before Infinity. Completionists who equip and favorite each accessory as they go notice gaps immediately. Speed players should still claim even if they never wear Crest of the Canyon again.

Infinity also changes party planning. Friends who unlock Infinity days earlier can scout which encore games are long or buggy once those games appear for them, then call outs for you — but they cannot claim your pedestals, and their scout list may still be incomplete mid-event. Use players and friend intel as scouting, not as a substitute for your own 2006–2025 finish.

Relationship to Plus, Classic theme, secrets, and codes

Roblox Plus early access helps you reach Infinity sooner; it does not grant Infinity on day one without quests. Plus extras such as Roblox Plus Hard Hat, Noob Attack: Birthday Bash, and The Twentieth Teapot are separate cosmetics/tracks—not the historical gate. Classic theme perks are presentation, not Infinity keys. Secret badges expected around September 19 are bonus content on featured areas; they do not replace the twenty claims. Promo codes are not the unlock path—remain quest-driven and skeptical of “generator” scams.

Mindset for the encore (without a fake checklist)

Expect variety again: short objectives mixed with longer featured-game chores. Apply lessons already learned:

• Prefer stable servers when interactions are shared.
• Leave and reclaim through the hub rather than trusting fragile return buttons.
• Track completed Infinity games from your Hub UI in a simple note so you do not replay clears under fatigue.
• Stop chasing perfect fashion, invented spoilers, or side content when the clock is the real boss.

Year Infinity is the anniversary’s victory lap, but only for players who respected the historical marathon. Finish 2006–2025 with claims intact—especially the Grow a Garden claim—open the encore while days remain, refuse invented roster lists, and use the final morning for cleanup — not for discovering the gate still needs Builder Brothers’ Balancing Act.

When in doubt, return to the hub, count to twenty historical UGC, claim Grown From a Garden, and only then dive into whatever post-2025 roster the Hub actually shows you. That single verification saves more runs than any late-night panic grind.
