Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress event
Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress — Start Time, Countdown
Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress launches on Roblox on July 29, 2026, marking the full release of this year’s Egg Hunt game. The event window runs a full month, closing in late August, so there’s a wide runway to play through it rather than a short drop to chase.
The game is 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’s built as a single-player and multiplayer 3D platforming adventure, with its own cast of characters and several distinct worlds to move through. Ahead of launch it has already drawn over 1,700 favorites, and interest on the event calendar has climbed past 2,000 — strong pre-release attention for a title that isn’t playable yet.

What’s in it
The Grand Eggspress is built around platforming rather than a simple item-collecting hunt. Expect:
- A story-driven campaign playable solo or with friends
- A cast of original characters guiding the adventure
- Several distinct worlds to platform through, each with its own look and challenges
- Co-op egg collecting, so eggs are earned alongside other players rather than only alone
Koiverse has said it’s building out versions for Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac on top of the Roblox release, and plans to localize the English text for other languages through Roblox’s own translation tools. If those versions land close to the July 29 launch, that would be a wider platform push than most Egg Hunt games attempt.
When it runs
The Grand Eggspress opens July 29 at 3:00 PM ET and closes August 29 at 3:00 PM ET — a full month, with the start and end times given across the major world time zones for players outside the US. Because it’s a full release rather than a limited-time drop, there’s no need to rush: the whole game and its rewards stay available for the entire window. That said, launch week is typically when a new Egg Hunt game draws the most attention and the liveliest multiplayer scene, so jumping in early means fewer spoiled surprises and more people to play alongside.
How it fits the tradition
Egg Hunt games are usually built as their own standalone titles rather than an update bolted onto an existing game, which is why this page doesn’t have a slate of sibling events to weigh it against. The direct callback to 2018’s Great Yolktales suggests Koiverse is aiming to match that game’s reputation rather than just riff on last year’s hunt, and the wider platform ambitions the developer has described point to a bigger production than most one-off Egg Hunt entries get.
