Escape The Matrix Events Schedule: 2 New Hustles Update and What’s Next
Escape The Matrix has a fresh update live right now. The developer’s latest drop, which they’ve titled 2 New Hustles, adds two new money-making schemes — a shrimp tank and a venture called Callerz — and it runs through the evening of November 16 (ET). It has already drawn a crowd, with about 55,000 players marking themselves as going, which makes it the headline item on the game’s schedule.
The experience casts you as someone kicked out of the house with twenty dollars and a beat-up PC, chasing one goal: turn that into a billion. You can go after the money through dropshipping, the stock market, crypto, game development, reselling, or even a staged influencer career — though the game is upfront that most of these ventures are scams and only some of them actually pay. Seven different endings are waiting to be found, and your progress saves on its own as you climb.
Escape The Matrix is one of Roblox’s busier money-making simulators, drawing about 4,900 players right now and sitting on more than about 870,000 lifetime visits alongside about 63,000 favorites. We update this page as the schedule changes; last updated November 14.
