Why Roblox Egg Hunts Stopped Making Limiteds

Roblox Egg Hunts stopped making scarce Limiteds after 2016 and any Limited after 2020. Why The Hunt and The Hatch added none, and where real egg Limiteds trade.

Roblox Egg Hunts stopped making Limiteds in two stages. Roblox hasn't added a new tradeable Limited from an Egg Hunt since 2020, and it hasn't added a scarce, gem-style one since 2016 (a Limited is an item with a fixed number of copies that players can resell and trade, and a gem is a scarce, high-value one). The event went dark for three years after 2020, came back in 2024 as The Hunt: First Edition, and returned again in 2025 as The Hatch. Neither revival added anything to the Limited economy. Below is the full run of what changed, year by year, and what it means if you're holding or buying into this category.

Quick answer: The last Egg Hunt to produce a scarce Limited was 2016 (the Tabby Egg), the last to produce any tradeable Limited was 2020 (ten mass-supply hats at roughly 260 to 290 Robux), and the 2024 and 2025 revivals produced none. Roblox has never published a policy explaining why.

Roblox Egg Hunt New tradeable Limiteds
Eggstravaganza 2008 through Eggcellent Adventure 2016 Scarce, low-supply eggs; 2016 added just one, the Tabby Egg
Egg Hunt 2017 (42 eggs), 2018 (45 eggs), 2019 (58 eggs) None
Egg Hunt 2020: Agents of E.G.G. Ten hats, millions of copies each, roughly 260 to 290 Robux
2021, 2022, 2023 No Egg Hunt was held
The Hunt: First Edition (2024) None; The Infinite Egg is an ordinary accessory
The Hatch (2025) None

When did Roblox Egg Hunts stop producing Limiteds? Scarce ones ended in 2016, tradeable ones in 2020

The tradition started in 2008 with Eggstravaganza, Roblox's first egg hunt, and ran on the back of Fabergé eggs for most of the next decade. Those eggs are still some of the most recognizable Limiteds on the platform. The Golden Fabergé Egg of Hivemind alone still carries live RAP today (RAP is Recent Average Price, Roblox's smoothed average of what an item has recently sold for), alongside dozens of colored variants from later hunts.

Egg Hunt 2016: An Eggcellent Adventure was the last hunt to produce a genuinely scarce Limited. Of roughly two dozen prize eggs that year, exactly one, the Tabby Egg, ever carried Limited status. The next three hunts broke clean from even that. Egg Hunt 2017: The Lost Eggs (42 prize eggs), Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales (45 prize eggs), and Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time (58 prize eggs) sent out well over 100 combined prizes between them, and not one ever became a tradeable Limited.

Then Egg Hunt 2020: Agents of E.G.G. broke the streak in the other direction. Ten of that year's hat prizes did get Classic Limited status (a classic Limited is one Roblox made itself), just at a scale nothing like the old Fabergé-era gems. Each one carries millions of copies in circulation and trades for roughly 260 to 290 Robux, which is pocket change next to a hundred-copy 2016-era Limited. Roblox capped supply once the event and its partner games wrapped, and that was enough to flag the items tradeable. It simply did so at mass-market volume instead of scarce volume.

What happened to Roblox Egg Hunts between 2021 and 2023? Nothing, for three straight years

Roblox didn't run a traditional Egg Hunt in 2021, 2022, or 2023. The closest thing in 2021 was Metaverse Champions, a differently structured event that wasn't branded or built as an Egg Hunt. For three straight years, the platform's long-running spring tradition simply didn't happen. That gap matters for market context, because an entire generation of Roblox players had never seen an official Egg Hunt before the format returned.

Did The Hunt: First Edition (2024) make any Limiteds? No, the comeback skipped them

Roblox revived the tradition on March 15, 2024, under a new name and a new structure. The Hunt: First Edition ran through March 30, 2024, and pulled in roughly 100 partnered experiences instead of the scavenger-hunt format older hunts used. You earned badges by completing objectives inside participating games, and stacking enough badges unlocked a shared reward called The Infinite Egg.

Roblox could have capped that supply once the event closed and flagged it Limited, the way it did with ten of 2020's prizes. It didn't. The Infinite Egg remains an ordinary catalog accessory today, and it carries no RAP and no resale listing in RBX Invest's items database.

Did The Hatch (2025) make any Limiteds? No, bigger scale but the same result

Roblox went bigger the following year. The Hatch ran from July 2 to July 12, 2025, built around ten elemental themes: Connection, Light, Darkness, Fire, Earth, Water, Energy, Time, Ice, and Air, spread across hundreds of participating experiences. Each themed hub handed out eggs at three rarity tiers, common, primal, and mythic, and collecting a full set of ten unlocked a small egg accessory that you could then hatch for a separate avatar item.

The mechanic changed, but the outcome for traders didn't. Nothing from The Hatch appears in RBX Invest's items table either. That's the same result as 2024 and the same result as three of the four hunts before the 2021-2023 gap.

The Hunt: First Edition (2024) The Hatch (2025)
Dates March 15 - March 30, 2024 July 2 - July 12, 2025
Structure Badge quests across partnered games Elemental eggs across themed biomes
Scale Roughly 100 partnered experiences Hundreds of partnered experiences
Headline reward The Infinite Egg Hatchable elemental accessories
New tradeable Limiteds None None

Both events prove the same point from opposite directions. One was a tight, single-reward structure. The other spread rewards across ten themes and multiple rarity tiers. Neither turned into a single item with live RAP.

Why doesn't Roblox mint Limiteds from Egg Hunts anymore? Roblox has never given a reason

Roblox hasn't published a policy explaining these calls, so it wouldn't be accurate to claim one official reason covers every year. What the record actually shows is an unwritten practice. Since 2017, the default has been to leave event rewards off the Limited system entirely. The one exception is 2020, when Roblox capped supply after the fact and let ten prizes trade at a scale most collectors wouldn't call scarce at all. The Hunt and The Hatch both followed the more common default.

New capped-supply items on Roblox now mostly arrive through the UGC Limiteds program instead. It launched in April 2023 and lets individual creators mint items with a defined, non-renewable quantity for resale (UGC means user-generated content, items made by approved creators). That's a separate mechanism from platform-wide event rewards, and it's a big part of why UGC Limiteds have kept adding new gems to the market even while Egg Hunt-style events mostly haven't.

Not financial advice: treat any newly announced Roblox event the same way. Wait for confirmation that a reward actually carries Limited status and a live RAP before assuming it will hold resale value, rather than assuming every hunt works like the pre-2017 ones did.

Where can traders still find genuine Egg Hunt Limiteds? The 2008 to 2016 eggs, and the 2020 hats

The scarce end of this category ends at 2016. If you want exposure to that specific kind of gem, the pool is eggs from Eggstravaganza 2008 through Eggcellent Adventure 2016, all with fixed, low supply that won't face new competition from future events. If you'd rather have liquid, low-cost exposure to Egg Hunt history (liquid meaning easy to buy and sell quickly), the ten Egg Hunt 2020 hats fill that role at a fraction of the cost. RBX Invest's eggs collection ranks the full set by current RAP, and the individual year-by-year articles on the site cover the origin story and copy counts for each hunt.

Screen for specific items on the items leaderboard before buying, and check the deal feed for listings under RAP if you're already signed in.

What does this mean for traders? Stop waiting on the next hunt

Stop waiting on the next hunt to mint a new gem. The last time that happened was 2016, and the only tradeable output since then was 2020's ultra-high-supply batch, worth a few hundred Robux each. The 2024 and 2025 revivals didn't even manage that much. Value in this niche comes from a closed, shrinking supply of pre-2017 eggs. If Egg Hunt Limiteds interest you as a collecting niche, research the 2008-2016 window specifically, and treat hunt announcements as entertainment news rather than a source of new tradeable supply, at least until Roblox proves otherwise.

That doesn't mean the category is dead money. A closed supply with a growing player base behind it is exactly the setup that tends to support RAP over time, the same dynamic that keeps other pre-2017 gems competitive on the items leaderboard years after their original release. It just means new demand has nowhere to go but into the existing float (the float is the number of copies actually out there changing hands).

The RAP and copy-count claims in this article come from RBX Invest's items database, and the year-by-year prize counts come from the site's individual Egg Hunt articles linked above.

FAQ

Did The Hunt: First Edition (2024) create any tradeable Roblox Limiteds?

No. Its headline reward, The Infinite Egg, was never assigned Limited status. It doesn't carry a RAP or appear in RBX Invest's items database.

Did The Hatch (2025) produce any Limiteds?

No. Its elemental egg rewards and hatched accessories don't appear in RBX Invest's items table either, and none of them carry a RAP today.

Which was the last Roblox Egg Hunt to add real Limiteds?

It depends on what counts as "real." The last hunt to produce a scarce, gem-style Limited was 2016, when exactly one prize, the Tabby Egg, got Limited status. The last hunt to produce any tradeable Limited at all was 2020's Agents of E.G.G., which handed ten hat prizes Classic Limited status, though each one carries millions of copies and trades for under 300 Robux.

Did Egg Hunt 2020 really produce Limiteds if almost every player could earn them?

Yes. Roblox capped supply once the event and its partner games wrapped, which fixed the final copy count at several million per item rather than leaving it open forever. That was enough to make ten of that year's hat prizes function as ordinary Classic Limiteds with live RAP today, just at a supply scale far beyond a typical gem.

Where can I see live RAP for real Egg Hunt Limiteds?

RBX Invest's eggs collection tracks live RAP and copy counts for every egg-themed item still trading, including the Fabergé eggs from Roblox's earlier hunts and the 2020 Agents of E.G.G. set.

Why did Roblox stop making Egg Hunt Limiteds?

Roblox has never published a reason. The record shows an unwritten practice: since 2017, event rewards have been left off the Limited system by default, with 2020 as the one exception. New capped-supply items now mostly come through the UGC Limiteds program that launched in April 2023.

Was there a Roblox Egg Hunt in 2021, 2022 or 2023?

No. Roblox ran no traditional Egg Hunt in any of those three years. The closest event was Metaverse Champions in 2021, which wasn't branded or built as an Egg Hunt.

Which Egg Hunt Limiteds are still worth collecting?

For scarce gems, the pool is the eggs from Eggstravaganza 2008 through Eggcellent Adventure 2016, all with fixed, low supply. For cheap, liquid exposure, the ten Egg Hunt 2020 hats trade for roughly 260 to 290 Robux each. This isn't financial advice, and you should confirm live RAP before buying.
