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 already been awarded Gurt, you will always get the congratulations splash screen after beating any round (classic gamemodes 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 the Marshmallow Head due to the charred aesthetic.

Freeze Tag
The Freeze Tag portion of the event was viewed as quite easy, largely 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, and was many users favorite game from the event.

Spawn Wars
Spawn Wars (previously 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. Many people also reported the badge being glitched as they did not receive it after completing the objective, and complained about the lack of a tutorial for new players. 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, and was many users least favorite game from the event.
