The Hatch Egg Hunt Drama: How Roblox’s Biggest Event Turned Into Its Biggest Disaster
The Most excited Roblox Event turned out to be the most disliked event in the history
Roblox’s newest seasonal event, The Hatch, was supposed to be a massive celebration. It was hyped as the biggest Egg Hunt ever—over 1,000 games, elemental eggs, fusions, trades, and more. Many longtime players hoped it would bring back the fun and magic of the classic Egg Hunts from Roblox’s golden days.
But just a few days in, The Hatch is now being called the worst Roblox event of all time.
And honestly? It’s not hard to see why.
🚨 Controversy from Day One
It didn’t take long for players to notice something weird: some of the games featured in The Hatch were made by developers with sketchy histories. One name that stood out was TheOfficialTeddy—known in the community for creating "condo"-type games that have been linked to inappropriate content.
People were shocked that Roblox let developers like this be part of a kid-friendly event.
It felt like a huge oversight—and for a platform used mostly by children, this was a big deal.
🛑 Devs Started Pulling Out
Things escalated fast. Major developers started backing out of the event altogether.
We’re talking about huge names like:
MiniToon, the creator of Piggy
The devs behind DOORS
The team from Untitled Tag Game
They made it clear: they didn’t feel right being part of something tied to shady creators or questionable practices. Some said Roblox didn’t properly vet the games included, and others pointed to predatory monetization features in certain games.
This led to a massive wave of backlash and the rise of the hashtag #BoycottTheHatch.
🥚 Boring Gameplay and Bugs Everywhere
Even if you ignored the drama, the event itself just... wasn’t fun.
Players were expecting fun quests or egg-themed challenges. Instead, they got:
Waiting around in random games for eggs to spawn
No clear instructions
Glitchy merge systems
And a lot of copy-paste content across dozens of experiences
People quickly realized the whole event felt rushed and repetitive. And with so many technical issues, some players couldn’t even collect or merge eggs properly.
The excitement turned to frustration almost instantly.
👎 Record-Breaking Dislikes
Everywhere you look—YouTube, TikTok, Twitter—people are roasting this event.
The Hatch’s announcement trailer became one of the most disliked Roblox videos ever.
Popular creators posted videos slamming the event, calling it “lazy,” “broken,” and “a cash grab.”
Reddit polls and forums also show a massive drop in support. Most players say they’ve already quit the event—and many are swearing off Roblox events altogether unless something changes.
🤐 Roblox’s Response? Almost Nothing.
So far, Roblox has said very little. They released a quick statement about fixing bugs and “looking into things,” but that’s about it.
Some sources say that Roblox may have quietly removed certain developers from the event and is reviewing its selection process. But without a clear public response, the community is still left in the dark.
💬 What Comes Next?
This isn’t just about one bad event—it’s about trust.
Players are tired of feeling ignored. Developers want better vetting and moderation. And parents are asking why Roblox isn’t doing more to protect its younger audience.
If Roblox wants to fix the damage done by The Hatch, it needs to do more than patch bugs. It needs to listen to the community, take real accountability, and make sure events like this never happen again.
Until then, the hashtag #BoycottTheHatch isn’t going anywhere.
