Play 20 Years of Roblox History By Seb Barrios, Senior Vice President of Engineering Published Sep 16, 2026 For Roblox’s 20th anniversary, we’re looking back at two decades of games by the creators who’ve built the platform, block by block, and celebrating with a brand-new platform-wide event. From Sept. 17 to 28, players who join The Hunt: Roblox 20 will join games from each year of Roblox’s history—all the way back to 2006. Completing all 20 years unlocks Year Infinity—with access to 20 more games that represent the best of 2026 and beyond. Available now, the limited-time Classic app theme brings back the old-school Roblox logo, colors, and font. For the duration of the event, all players can switch to the throwback theme with a single toggle on their device. It’s a nod to where we started, and it’s available to all players today. To keep the nostalgia going, active Roblox Plus subscribers get to keep the Classic app theme, as well as a classic avatar background and profile frame—even after the event ends. Subscribers also unlock early access to the event hub (9 a.m. PT on Sept. 17) and the chance to earn three exclusive virtual items during the event. To get started, players join the Hub, where they’ll find portals to 20 games from Roblox’s past and present, from classic titles like Lumber Tycoon 2 and Jailbreak to newer favorites like Adopt Me! and Grow a Garden .

Players start in Year Zero (Roblox’s founding), then play through 20 years of Roblox history in chronological order. To progress to the next year, players complete a quest that represents the era they’re in, with UGC rewards to collect along the way. Creators are the heart of Roblox, and for two decades their imagination, innovation, and passion have built this platform into what it is today. We asked some of the creators participating in The Hunt: Roblox 20 to share what keeps them coming back to Roblox. “What I love about Roblox is that anyone can come and build a game that reaches millions of players. I’ve made a dozen friends here that I’ve known for 15+ years now, and we’ve all gotten to work with incredibly talented people across every discipline imaginable. The platform gave a small team like ours room to have a huge impact with Jailbreak, and its fans are creative in their own right too. They’ve shaped the game with us for years, and so much of what it is today. Happy 20th Roblox!” —asimo3089 and badcc, creators of Jailbreak Get started on Sept. 17 and enjoy playing some of Roblox’s most beloved games, collecting limited-release UGC items, and competing for a spot on the leaderboard.
