Egg Hunt 2017: The Lost Eggs

The 2017 ROBLOX Easter Egg Hunt (titled The Lost Eggs) is a sponsored event and the eighth Egg Hunt event that started on April 4, 2017. In the years past, ROBLOX hosted Egg Drops in 2008 and 2010, and the first ROBLOX Egg Hunt to be held in one place was the 2012 hunt. For this egg hunt, players will try to find eggs across different worlds. The players will receive a badge when an egg is found and the egg corresponding to the badge will be obtained as a wearable hat as well. The official date of release for the annual event is April 4.
