Murder Mystery 2 Summer: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown

Updated July 24, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 230K playing now

Summer is Murder Mystery 2’s warm-weather takeover, and it comes back around once a year. When it’s on, the game swaps in a seasonal lobby and map, opens a run of mystery boxes, and hangs a set of limited godly items off them. It is a returning fixture rather than a one-off: Nikilis has now run it 2 times, and the gap between editions works out to every ~368 days, so it lands in the same broad stretch of the calendar each summer.

The game it sits inside is one of Roblox’s largest. Murder Mystery 2 holds about 230,000 players at once on a normal day, has passed about 27,000,000,000 lifetime visits, and carries about 23,000,000 favorites, which is why a seasonal event here fills servers within minutes of a window opening. The next start time and the usual weekly windows are on the card above.

How often Summer runs, and at what times

Summer itself is an annual event, but while it’s live the schedule leans on two recurring slots rather than one. The next one on the schedule is Monday, July 26, 2027 at 7:24 PM ET.

  • Thursdays, 5:00 PM ET — 2:00 PM PT, 10:00 PM in the UK, 11:00 PM in Central Europe, 2:30 AM IST, 6:00 AM in Japan and 7:00 AM in eastern Australia the following morning.
  • Sundays, 3:00 PM ET — 12:00 PM PT, 8:00 PM in the UK, 9:00 PM in Central Europe, 12:30 AM IST, 4:00 AM in Japan and 5:00 AM in eastern Australia the following morning.

Two windows instead of one is a deliberate choice. A single evening slot on US eastern time is the middle of the night almost everywhere else, so the earlier Sunday window gives European players a reasonable evening and moves the Asia-Pacific start into early morning rather than the dead of night. Whichever one you pick, the content is the same — they are two chances at the same event, not two different ones.

What happens during Summer

  • A seasonal summer lobby replaces the usual hub while the event is on.
  • A dedicated summer map enters the rotation for standard rounds.
  • Mystery boxes become the core loop — opening them is what drives the event’s rewards.
  • A godly item pack is attached to the event, so the rarest drops are only obtainable while it runs.

Tips for catching it

If you’re in North America, the Thursday 5:00 PM ET slot is the easy one. Everywhere else, Sunday at 3:00 PM ET is the friendlier of the two. Set a reminder ten minutes early — servers fill fast at the top of a window — and don’t panic if you miss one: the second weekly slot comes around within days, and the event returns next summer.

How Summer fits the game’s rhythm

Nikilis runs Murder Mystery 2 on a seasonal calendar rather than a constant drip of updates. Halloween 2025, Christmas 2025 and Valentine’s 2026 have each had their turn, along with the Santa’s List side event, and all of them have since wrapped. Summer is the mid-year entry in that cycle, and it follows the same shape as its siblings: a themed lobby and map, a box-opening loop, and a limited set of godlies that stop being obtainable once the season closes.
