Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress event
Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress — What It Included
Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress — the full release of this year’s Egg Hunt game on Roblox — ran from July 29 to August 29, 2026, and its launch event has now closed. Built as the spiritual sequel to Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales, one of the best-regarded entries in Roblox’s long-running Egg Hunt tradition, it arrived as a story-driven platforming adventure rather than a simple item hunt, playable solo or in co-op across several distinct worlds.
By the close of its launch window the game had gathered over a million visits and around about 12,000 favorites, and it remains live on Roblox after the event itself wrapped, holding a smaller steady crowd of about 30 players. For a title from Koiverse that only became playable at launch, that was strong early attention, with interest on the event calendar having climbed past three thousand before the doors opened.
Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress
The Grand Eggspress
Release
Jul 29, 8:00 PM – Aug 29, 8:00 PM ET
A single-player and multiplayer 3D platforming adventure across multiple unique worlds featuring original characters and platforming challenges.

What it included
The Grand Eggspress was built around platforming rather than a straightforward egg-collecting sweep. What players found inside:
- A story-driven campaign playable alone or with friends
- A cast of original characters guiding the adventure, which the developer described as a “wacky cast”
- Several distinct worlds to platform through, each with its own look and challenges
- Co-op egg collecting, so eggs were earned alongside other players rather than only solo
Alongside the Roblox release, Koiverse said it had versions in development for Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac, with the English text set to be localized into other languages through Roblox’s own translation tools — a wider platform ambition than most one-off Egg Hunt games attempt.
When it ran
The launch event opened on July 29, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET and closed on August 29, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET — a full month. Because it marked a full release rather than a limited-time drop, the game and its content stayed available for the entire window rather than gating players to a short rush, though launch week drew the liveliest multiplayer scene, as new Egg Hunt games tend to.
How it fit the game’s rhythm
Egg Hunt games are usually standalone titles rather than updates bolted onto an existing game, and this one carried a direct callback to 2018’s Great Yolktales, suggesting Koiverse was aiming to match that game’s reputation rather than just riff on last year’s hunt. Notably, the launch wasn’t the end of the calendar: Koiverse kept adding events afterward, including a Chapter 2: Songhua Station run that opened in early August and a UGC Gift Eggs event — both are still live on the game as of this writing, so players who arrived for the Grand Eggspress have reasons to keep coming back.
