The Hunt: Roblox 20 — Rocket Arena 2008
Event window, unlock path, and Brick-Blast Jetpack deadline for the anniversary Hunt.
The Hunt: Roblox 20 is Roblox’s 20th-anniversary scavenger event. Rocket Arena appears as the 2008 year challenge: a nostalgia lobby, a paintgun egg hunt, a portal into restored Classic combat, and a free UGC claim at the end. This update page is the dated briefing — when the event runs, how Rocket Arena fits the timeline, and what you must finish before the door closes.
Hub experience: The Hunt: Roblox 20. Parent history hub: Updates.
Event window and hard deadline
- Starts: about September 17, 2026
- Ends: about 10 AM PT on September 28, 2026
- Active span: roughly September 17–28, 2026
Treat 10 AM PT September 28 as the practical cutoff for finishing eggs, knockouts, and the Brick-Blast Jetpack claim. Do not plan a last-second clear across midnight if you still need rejoins for sticky eggs.
How Rocket Arena fits year 2008
The Hunt walks players through Roblox history year by year. 2008 spotlights Classic Rocket Arena — the early BrickBattle showcase with rockets, jetboots, destructible bridges, and lava knockouts. Roblox restored the Classic place (tools fixed, event integration) so the anniversary route could send people into a real arena instead of a museum screenshot.
Classic context in one line: launched ~January 2006, broken ~2015, removed 2017, restored September 2026 for this Hunt. Everyday practice still lives on the Build N Blox remake; place identity details are on Remake vs Classic.
Unlock path into the 2008 lobby
You cannot skip straight to Rocket Arena’s Hunt rewards without earlier years:
- Complete the Hunt’s 2006 stage.
- Complete the Hunt’s 2007 stage.
- Touch the Mysterious Cube in 2007.
- Arrive in the 2008 lobby built around Rocket Arena nostalgia.
- Talk to Person299 near the Rocket Arena portal to start the egg challenge and receive the paintgun.
If 2008 is locked, you are missing earlier Hunt progress — not a missing egg.
What you must complete in 2008
1) Paint 10 eggs (lobby)
Shoot each egg with the paintgun. Walking into eggs does not count. Some eggs may not visually recolor even when the counter advances. Landmark loop: Hunt Egg Locations. Tick boxes: Egg Checklist. Softlocks: Hunt Troubleshooting.
2) Score 5 knockouts (Classic arena via portal)
Enter through the Rocket Arena portal into the event-linked Classic path (place 25415). Eliminate five other players with honest BrickBattle pressure — edges, bridges, jetboot punishes. Guide: Knockout Tips. Mobile players: Mobile Tips.
3) Claim the Brick-Blast Jetpack (lobby tree)
Return to the 2008 lobby and claim at the tree / pedestal near Person299. Official UGC name: Brick-Blast Jetpack (catalog 111382123633411). Full claim notes: Brick-Blast Jetpack. This path also aligns with the event’s Warrior badge credit for the Rocket Arena challenge line.
Rewards summary
| Reward | Type | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Brick-Blast Jetpack | Free Hunt UGC / accessory | Tree near Person299 after eggs + KOs |
| Warrior challenge credit | Hunt badge progress | Same completion line |
Remake badges (Sun Burn, kill milestones, owner meet/kill, and more) are not Hunt UGC. Track them separately on Players and Kill Badges inside the Build N Blox remake.
What this event is not
- Not a codes drop. Hunt uses eggs and KOs. There are no known promo codes for Rocket Arena as of September 2026 (Codes).
- Not remake patch notes. The remake’s last verified update on this wiki is July 22, 2026; Hunt restore work is a separate official anniversary track (Updates).
- Not a script requirement. Five KOs are a short honest grind (Scripts).
Suggested clear order under deadline pressure
- Confirm the Hunt hub join and unlock 2008 via Mysterious Cube.
- Paint all ten eggs with counter checks after each shot.
- Rejoin once if ship/bar eggs refuse to register.
- Portal in, take five clean KOs, leave.
- Claim Brick-Blast at Person299’s tree and equip to confirm.
- Only then spend leftover time on remake badges or free play.
