Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time

Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time is the tenth annual Roblox Egg Hunt event, as well as the final event before the launch of Live-Ops. It was first announced on the Developer Forum and later during the 6th Annual Bloxys. It takes place in over 40 games connected to one central hub, which has been created by the group Eggtually. It is sponsored by Avengers: Endgame, which has both eggs and themed accessories obtainable throughout the hunt.

Games
42 games are participating in this Egg Hunt:

Eggs
There are a total of 58 eggs available in this Egg Hunt:

General
The event's sources of criticism mainly come from the event's lack of creativity, poor map design, poor storyline and the tediousness of retrieving some eggs.

The hub has received the most complaints, as many players have raised issues that joining the games from it was confusing due to the portals on each ‘floor’, with many instead opting to join games directly from the Games page.

Mobile users have criticized Roblox for including the games Counter Blox, Fantastic Frontier, Grudge, Tales of the Valley, and Backpacking in this hunt, due to the fact that these games aren’t mobile-supported. This means that their respective eggs are not obtainable by mobile users.

Games
This Egg Hunt is compared to Egg Hunt 2015 due to the Egg Hunt being hosted in developer made games and not a singular place. Many are saying this is worse than Egg Hunt 2015 due to the high amount of games, seeing it as a 'chore' to go through all the games too. Certain games have been criticized for the method required to obtain their egg, such as Epic Minigames, Freeze Tag, and Neighborhood of Robloxia, while others have been praised for making their quests easier/more fun.

In particular:


 * The Neighborhood of Robloxia has been criticized because the crystal/pillar takes too long to spawn. It has also been pointed out how the crystal is about the same color as the pine trees and how it doesn't have an exact spawn time and exact spawn location.
 * Hackr has also been criticized, being labeled as a Mountaineers 2.0 due to its extreme lag, low optimization, and lengthy objective, resulting in very frequent crashes if the player’s device is not a high-performance PC and overheating for mobile devices. This, however, has been slightly relieved after the developers saved your egg progress if you left the game.
 * Roblox Point Theme Park has been criticized for taking too long and the fact that resetting also resets your progress in the quest. In some occasions, the developers of the game were tour guides to help people get the egg. The game is extremely laggy on basic computers and most likely mobile device as well, even if you lower your graphics all the way down. People have said they have crashed many times when attempting to get the egg. The game is a bit scammy as well as someone said they spent over 1k Robux having to rebuy things when trying to get the egg as leaving makes you lose some bought passes, one of the passes this includes is the more speed pass as resetting or leaving makes you permanently lose it.


 * Dance Your Blox Off has been criticized due to the fact only people in 1st place can win the egg per round and that rounds are tedious due to the number of times a player would have to wait until it ends; each round usually lasts approximately 10-15 minutes. People extremely desperate to get the egg typically tend to rate 1’s for everyone, ensuring that they will get the egg while the others lose.


 * Epic Minigames has been criticized because before the update where there were 3 winners, only one person could win the egg per round. Due to Epic Minigames’ huge arsenal of games, the Easter Ice Thaw round shows up very rarely.


 * The Labyrinth has been deemed as the most time-consuming game in the event, due to the fact that the Yellow (Angelic) shard is gotten by finding a forest in a giant maze full of traps, then shooting the bird. This forest is extremely hard to find, and the maze only opens during the daytime. However, an icon for the forest has been added, relieving the difficulty of finding it by pointing out its general direction. The Black shard is obtained in the Darkzone, where you just kill a player. However, not many people are in the Darkzone, meaning that there would be nobody to kill. To top it all off, the maze is different in every server, so following a YouTube tutorial is useless in this case. You also have to go back to the forest after collecting every shard.


 * Backpacking has been criticized because players who do not bear a compass will need to obtain the four fuses blindly across the map.


 * Escape Room has been criticized due to its intense lag in the new map Enchanted Forest.


 * Freeze Tag has been criticized, as taggers can revert the progress of the runners who are attempting to construct the egg.


 * Roblox Battle (2018 Edition) has been criticized because there are many exploiters and they can not get the fuel in the Concave Calamity map while players are killing other players.


 * SharkBite has been criticized because a player needs to destroy his/her boat (Bunny Boat) by the shark, but the shark can kill the player in such close range.


 * Deathrun has been criticized because players need to rely on other players for completing the event's map, which is problematic because it requires trusting that the other players are skilled enough and know what to do.
 * Project: Lazer was criticized because of teleportation pads not teleporting the players - however, this has been fixed.

 * Speed Run 4 reused a map that was for Legends of the Hidden Temple, an older event.
 * Gravity Shift also reused a map that was used in the Roblox Universe (2018) event.

 * Super Bomb Survival and Egg Hunt 2018 have been Egg Hunt games in the past. Super Bomb Survival taking part in Egg Hunt 2015 and Egg Hunt 2018 being self-explanatory.
 * The Eggmin and Video Star Egg Launchers use to be really cheap in Super Bomb Survival and Egg Hunt 2018 before having their prices raised.
 * Super Bomb Survival's original prices for the launchers were 5,000 Coins or 500 Gems for the Eggmin and 2,500 coins or 250 gems for the Video Star Launcher. The raised prices are 15,000 Coins or 1,000 Gems for Eggmin and 8,000 Coins or 500 Gems for the Video Star Launcher.
 * Due to a faulty error in Egg Hunt 2018's shop, the price for Eggmin 2018's launcher stayed the same (35,000 golden eggs), but Eggmin 2019's launcher and the Video Star Launcher were priced at 500 golden eggs each. This allowed many players to get the launchers and give them out. A small update caused the launchers' prices to go up from 500 to 50,000 golden eggs with last year's launcher price being lowered to 5,000 golden eggs. This error diminished the value of the two eggs.
 * There are live updates where the 2 launchers repeatedly go from on-sale to off-sale.
 * In the Black Widow obby, there is a section where you must outrun a boulder. This is a reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indiana Jones does just that.
 * One of the Egg Hunt 2019's featured games features its predecessor egg hunt from last year, The Great Yolktales. It contributed with 2019's Egg Hunt with a new place and new egg, the Mirage and the Egg of Origin.
 * Player's getting the egg animation in the hub is the same as A Hat in Time's animation when collecting a Time Piece.
 * On April 20th, the hub island was updated to be much darker for the players that didn't complete the egg hunt yet. Also, trees appear to have lost their leaves and some rocks have turned black.
