The Hunt: Roblox 20 Event Schedule & Patch Notes

Current event status

The Hunt: Roblox 20 is Roblox’s 20th anniversary limited event. It is live for the September 17–28, 2026 window (Pacific Time). Progression is chronological years 2006–2025, Hub UGC claims, then Year Infinity after all twenty. There are no promo codes—read the Codes Hub if you were sent here by a fake list.

Primary playable Hub: join from the official game link collected on Official Links. Pair this Updates hub with Getting Started, Guides, Rewards, and the tier list. New mid-timeline deep dives: Natural Disaster Survival, Sword Heights, and Base Wars.

Official schedule (Pacific Time)

Moment	When
Roblox Plus early Hub access	September 17, 2026 — 9:00 AM PT
Public start	September 17, 2026 — 3:00 PM PT
Secret badge phase (expected)	September 19, 2026 — ~1:00 PM ET
Event end	September 28, 2026 — 10:00 AM PT

Plan backwards from the end time. The celebration still ends September 28 at 10 AM PT unless Roblox officially extends it. Long S-tier prep (especially World // Zero around level 85) should not start on the final morning. After each year, claim rewards immediately so a late hotfix cannot strand an unclaimed completion.

Secret badge phase (September 19)

A secret badge phase is scheduled for September 19, 2026 around 1 PM ET. Exact requirements are expected to be revealed when the phase goes live—do not trust invented spoiler lists ahead of official UI. Community and coverage note that each featured area is expected to have a secret. Treat secrets as bonus content on top of the twenty main year badges, not as a replacement for chronological claims.

When the phase opens, re-check this Updates hub and the in-Hub markers, then fold any new secrets into leftover time after your main pedestals are safe.

Roblox Plus perks and named extras

Plus members can enter the Hub early at 9 AM PT on September 17, six hours before public start. Early access is for getting oriented, testing year portals, and lining up first claims—not a skip ticket for all twenty years or automatic Year Infinity.

Separate from the twenty main quest UGC, Plus coverage and catalog callouts name anniversary extras such as:

• Roblox Plus Hard Hat
• Noob Attack: Birthday Bash
• The Twentieth Teapot

These Plus extras sit beside—not inside—the main Crossroads-through-Grow-a-Garden catalog on the Rewards Hub. Exact earn conditions can differ by item (subscription join vs deeper completion). Verify live Hub / inventory messaging rather than assuming every Plus cosmetic drops on first teleport.

If your account should have Plus but the Hub is locked before public start, verify subscription status on the official Plus page (linked from Official Links), rejoin Roblox, and try the Hub again near 9 AM PT.

Classic theme and celebration framing

The Hunt: Roblox 20 leans on a Classic / throwback presentation: year doors, historical experiences, and UGC that nods at each era (Crossroads Tower, Brick-Blast Jetpack, Time Travel Schoolpack, and the rest listed on the Rewards Hub). Expect Hub UI and marketing to emphasize nostalgia rather than a brand-new perpetual lobby.

Theme dressing does not change objectives. You still need the canonical clears—3 KOs in Crossroads, four swords in Sword Heights, secret recipe in Pizza Place, three animal rescues in Natural Disaster Survival, Base Wars match progress in Base Wars, five Jailbreak rescues, two Dress to Impress 2024-mode rounds, fifty Grow a Garden fruits to Sam, and every other year on the checklist.

Year Infinity timing

Year Infinity is gated behind finishing all twenty year quests (2006–2025) and completing their Hub claims—unlock after the Grow a Garden claim for Grown From a Garden. It is the epilogue celebration step, not a shortcut on day one. As of mid-event, treat the Infinity game roster as not fully confirmed in public guides; do not invent a fake encore list. Follow Hub markers when Infinity opens. Details and caution notes live on the Year Infinity guide.

Practical tips:

• Track claims on the Rewards Hub so you do not “feel done” while one UGC is missing.
• Infinity will not substitute for an unclaimed 2013 or 2020 clear.
• If Infinity appears locked, verify each year objective and Hub claim before assuming a bug.
• Near September 28, prioritize missing years over fashion or side content inside experiences.

Known issues and player reports

Pizza Place multiplayer

Work at a Pizza Place secret-recipe progress can behave inconsistently in busy multiplayer sessions—story steps, keypad inputs (0917 / 09172026), or shared world state may desync. Those keypad values are in-quest only, not sitewide codes. Prefer solo servers; full walkthrough: Pizza Place.

Workarounds players use:

• Switch to a quieter server or private session if the experience allows.
• Have one player lead story interactions while others avoid conflicting prompts.
• Rejoin if NPC dialogue or keypad state soft-locks.
• After success, return to the Hunt Hub and claim Builder Brothers’ Balancing Act manually.

Base Wars launch bugs

Base Wars (2012) has been a frequent launch-week troublemaker: skirmishes that never start, kicks near objectives, anniversary meters that refuse to move, and portal failures. Objective reminder: win 1 match, or accumulate progress where a loss is ~50% (two losses can finish). Deep guide: Base Wars.

Workarounds:

• Server hop immediately when a lobby will not start or progress freezes.
• Re-enter from the Hunt 2012 portal after a full leave.
• Accept two counted losses if a clean win will not happen.
• Return to the Hub and claim Manliest Man Award only after the in-experience meter / badge actually completes.

Hub “failed to check badges” / claim errors

After buggy years (especially Base Wars) or heavy teleport lag, the Hub claim UI may say it failed to check badges or cannot verify a completion you already earned.

Fix loop:

1. Leave The Hunt: Roblox 20 completely.
2. Rejoin the Hub and wait a few seconds for replication.
3. Retry the year pedestal claim.
4. If it still fails, hop Hub servers once, then follow Claim Rewards.

Do not replay a long quest solely because the Hub lagged once.

Natural Disaster Survival public contests

Animal spawns are limited per map. Public servers turn rescue 3 animals into a contested race—private servers are strongly recommended. Guide: Natural Disaster Survival.

General Hub / claim reminders

• Completing a year experience ≠ automatic inventory grant—use the claim flow.
• Teleport lag between Hub and years can hide a completed banner; recheck the year door.
• Platform differences (desktop vs mobile) may change control friction but not the official objectives.

If Roblox publishes hotfixes, summarize them here and keep Guides factual. For primary posts, use Newsroom and DevForum links on the links hub.

What did not change

• Still quest-based UGC only—no redeemable Hunt promo code list.
• Still twenty chronological years before Infinity.
• Still end date September 28, 2026, 10 AM PT unless officially extended.
• Plus extras (Roblox Plus Hard Hat, Noob Attack: Birthday Bash, The Twentieth Teapot) remain separate from the main twenty.

Suggested reading after each update skim

1. Getting Started — onboarding if you just arrived.
2. All Quests — chronological checklist with new deep-link guides.
3. Natural Disaster Survival, Sword Heights, Base Wars — mid-timeline deep dives.
4. Rewards Hub — main twenty UGC plus Plus extras.
5. Tier List — reprioritize hard years before the end date.
6. Scripts — only if you accept ToS risk; automation is optional.
7. Codes Hub — share with friends who were baited by fake code thumbnails.

This Updates Hub is the schedule and bug board for the anniversary window. Check it when Plus early access opens, again at public start, on the September 19 secret phase, and daily near the September 28 close so claims are finished while the Hub remains available.
