Trivia

 * This is the first time Spawn Wars (previously Bed Wars 2) has been featured in an event.
 * This is the second time The Doom Wall 2: Burst has been featured in an event, the first time being in Roblox Sports 2017.
 * One of the prizes, Gurt, is based off of the character with the same name from Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales.
 * There is a glitch in Freeze Tag where if you have Gurt, you will always get the congratulatory message after beating any round (classic game mode included).

General
In general, the prizes were well-received while the games (apart from Freeze Tag) were not. In particular, the Gurt accessory was a favorite due to his iconic appearance in Egg Hunt 2018, as well as Marshmallow Head due to the charred aesthetic.

Freeze Tag
The Freeze Tag portion of the event was viewed as quite easy, as a result of being able to unfreeze other players with relative ease as long as the majority of players were still alive. It was positively received by most participants.

Spawn Wars
Spawn Wars (also known as Bed Wars) was criticized as it is viewed as a Pay-To-Win (P2W) game. This is because the developer offers expensive gamepasses that can drastically affect gameplay for a user who purchases them, often tipping the game in their favor. In terms of the actual event, the badge was reported to be glitchy by some users as they did not receive it after destroying all 3 enemy spawnpoints. It was not positively received by most participants.

The Doom Wall 2: Burst
TDW2 was criticized due to the Beach Blithe event map. Many players were unable to complete this map in order to earn the Sunflower Sunglasses because of its difficulty, and some reported severe lag and glitches when they played on the map. It was also very confusing when attempting to travel through seaweed, as the abilty to kick while flying using F was not well known. It was not positively received by most participants.
