From Gamers to Millionaires—Roblox’s The Hunt: Mega Edition is Your Chance
Roblox’s The Hunt: Mega Edition will be offering an astounding one million dollars!
One of the surprising turns in the video game industry is its evolution into a space where gamers can earn real money through tournaments and sponsored events. While eSports may not hold the same spotlight it once did, certain games still draw gamers vying for prize money and demonstrating their skills. Now, a new competition is about to begin, and Roblox’s The Hunt: Mega Edition will be offering an astounding one million dollars!
To clarify, this scale of reward is unprecedented in Roblox. Last year, the game hosted a different version of “The Hunt,” but with much smaller stakes. Nevertheless, it attracted over 34 million participants who collectively logged 128 million hours! This popularity speaks volumes about the game’s appeal.
How Roblox’s The Hunt: Mega Edition Operates
The event’s format is simple. Players aged 13 and above are invited to compete in 24 different challenges within the game. Their performance will determine their rankings, and the top ten players will be flown to the developers’ headquarters on Roblox’s private plane for the ultimate challenge, where the million-dollar prize awaits! For participants under 18, their parents or guardians will also be flown over to ensure all legal concerns are addressed.
Imagine the thrill of stepping onto that plane, knowing you’re among the best of the best, ready to compete for life-changing money.
Event Schedule
The competition kicks off on March 13th and concludes on March 24th, after which the top ten players will be chosen. While some of the games have been revealed, 20 remain a mystery, so players should hone their gaming skills to stand a chance against the fierce competition.
Everyone Can Compete
It’s easy to feel intimidated by the sheer number of participants and the dedication of some players. However, everyone has a shot at glory. Even if you don’t win, you’ll still receive special items. So, take part and prove you competed for a million dollars!
Announcement and Teasers
Roblox recently announced its second Hunt event, featuring a $1,000,000 grand prize. The Hunt: Mega Edition promises to be the largest event in Roblox history, with various rewards and a grand finale at the game’s headquarters, streamed live for fans. Only the top ten players will have the chance to compete for the grand prize.
In late February, Roblox teased the event with a cryptic video on Twitter. Soon after, the full teaser trailer was released, and the event’s immersive hub went live. According to Roblox’s blog, The Hunt: Mega Edition will feature 25 experiences, including Rivals, SpongeBob Tower Defense, Basketball Legends, and IT GIRL. Players can join the event from March 13th to March 24th to climb the rankings.
Grand Finale Details
The top ten players will be invited to Roblox headquarters in San Mateo, California, to vie for the $1,000,000 prize. The exact date of the finale is yet to be disclosed but will occur in April. This final showdown will be live-streamed, allowing fans to witness the intense competition. If successful, The Hunt could become one of the biggest gaming tournaments globally.
Roblox’s Financial Health
According to Stock Analysis, Roblox concluded 2024 with a remarkable $3.60 billion in revenue, positioning itself as a top video game company. The $1,000,000 prize represents only 0.028% of their annual revenue, making it a small gesture of appreciation for their community. Fans are eagerly awaiting the event’s immersive hub to start completing tasks.
Cryptic Teaser Posts
Last February, Roblox’s CEO posted puzzling phrases on social media, leading to speculation about a major event. Finally, in early March, the announcement of The Hunt: Mega Edition was made clear.

In the original Hunt, players accessed 100 games to earn badges and rewards by completing specific challenges, climbing a central leaderboard that crowned the best players globally.
Participating Games
The Mega Edition features “more than 24” games, each with unique challenges. The top ten players will then head to Roblox HQ in California to compete for the $1 million prize in April, after the digital event ends.
