The Hunt: Roblox 20 is live through September 28, 2026, and it's the biggest anniversary event Roblox has ever run — 20 classic games, one badge per year from 2006 to 2025, and a final Year Infinity unlock once you've cleared all of them. The SERP is already full of "here's what the event is" recaps. This isn't one of those. It's how to actually finish the era tied to our Grow a Garden locker fast, without getting caught by the Wise Owl, plus a fast-reference table for the other 19 badges so you're not tabbing between six different sites to track progress.
How to get Grown From a Garden (the 2025 era)
Grow a Garden is the last of the 20 yearly stops — the 2025 slot, right before Year Infinity opens up — and its quest is a steal-and-deliver loop with one catch mechanic worth knowing before you start.
- Find the Wise Owl's Garden. Cross the bridge from Sam's spot near the event hub. The fruit you need is growing there, not in your own plot.
- Steal fruit, but stop at 6. Press E to grab fruit. Each one you're carrying slows your movement, and grabbing a 7th is what actually triggers the Wise Owl catching you — that wipes whatever you're holding and you start that trip over. Six per run is the safe cap.
- Cross back and watch for the "Escaped!" notification. That's your confirmation the Owl didn't catch you this trip.
- Talk to Sam and choose "Give Stolen Plants." This deposits your batch and moves the counter — 6/50, 12/50, and so on. Repeat the steal-and-deliver loop until you hit 50/50.
- Claim your Chilli Mango seed. Sam hands over 5x Chilli Mango seeds once the counter maxes out.
- Plant it in your own garden and wait. Equip the seed like any normal crop. Once the Chilli Mango tree finishes growing, you get the Timeless Roots badge and the Grown From a Garden neck accessory (an off-sale UGC item) at the same time.
Fastest route: run the steal loop in batches of 6, don't get greedy on the 7th fruit, and start the Chilli Mango growing the moment you get the seed — the plant timer runs in the background while you go clear other eras, so there's no reason to wait to plant it. If you're stocking up your own Grow a Garden setup while you're at it, the fruit-carrying mechanic here works the same as regular harvesting.

Every game in The Hunt unlocks in order, 2006 through 2025 — you don't have to play them in sequence, but you do have to return to the hub and claim each badge before the next year opens.

Roblox Plus bonus rewards
If you've got a Roblox Plus subscription, three extra items are available during the event window on top of the 20 era badges: the Roblox Plus Hard Hat, Noob Attack: Birthday Bash, and The Twentieth Teapot. None of these are required to unlock Year Infinity — they're a Plus-only bonus layered on top.
What Year Infinity unlocks
Clearing all 20 yearly badges opens Year Infinity, the event's framing for 2026-and-beyond. Roblox began rolling out secret, game-specific badges tied to Year Infinity starting September 19, with more added as the event window continues — exact requirements for those weren't public at the time of writing, so check back in the hub itself once you've cleared 2006-2025.
