The Hunt: Roblox 20's Final Puzzle has already been reported open, but being in the event hub is not the same as being ready to enter it. First, check your normal and secret progress in both your Roblox profile and the hub itself. Then treat early access and the Admin Abuse bonus as optional routes that only matter if the live hub still advertises them.
Roblox's official event FAQ lists the hard close as 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on September 28, 2026. Use the official Hunt hub to confirm what is still active, then work through these four checks before you spend time on the finale.
The Hunt Roblox 20 Final Puzzle Requirements: Check All 40 Badges
The formal preparation step is completing the event's two progress tracks. The 20 regular quests from the featured games lead you into Year Infinity. The 20 secret quests are hidden across the featured Hunt games. Complete them, then claim the corresponding rewards at the 2026 hub's year podiums. Roblox says each secret quest awards one fragment, and all 20 fragments are needed for the Final Puzzle. Together, those tracks make up the player-facing 40-badge check: 20 main badges and 20 secret badges.
Check the following before you treat the gold trophy as ready:
| Check | Where to look | Ready state |
|---|---|---|
| Main quest progress | Your Roblox profile | All 20 regular event badges are claimed and Year Infinity is available |
| Secret quest progress | The featured Hunt games, your Roblox profile, and the 2026 hub's year podiums | Complete the hidden quests, claim their corresponding podium rewards, and verify all 20 secret badges are registered |
| Fragment registration | The hub's secret-progress display | The hub recognizes all 20 fragments, often shown as a 20/20-style total |
Do not rely on the profile badge total alone. A profile badge total can still differ from the hub's registration, so compare the profile with the podium or fragment state in the hub. If the Final Puzzle trophy is still locked, confirm both sides before trying to enter again.
The Hunt Roblox 20 Final Puzzle Early Access: Check the Live Hub
A qualifying Secret Challenge leaderboard was reported as an early-access route for players who placed in the Top 20. That does not mean every Secret Challenge board qualifies, and the exact amount of advance access was not established. Since the finale has already been reported open, use this as a live-status check rather than assuming there is still time to compete for it.
- Open the Hunt hub and look for a current Secret Challenge leaderboard or trophy message that still mentions early access.
- If the board is active, verify that the hub identifies it as qualifying, then complete the relevant Secret Challenge quickly enough to appear in the Top 20.
- If your placement is in the Top 20 and the hub still promises early access, go back to the Infinity trophy and follow the access prompt there.
Do not treat an old leaderboard, an unqualified board, or a guessed lead time as a guarantee. The regular 40-badge and 20-fragment requirement remains the dependable preparation check.
The Hunt Roblox 20 Admin Abuse Bonus: Check the Live Prompt
Admin Abuse is a separate reported bonus, not the current early-access requirement. The Hunt hub has directed players to an Admin Abuse station and into +1 Speed Keyboard Escape, where the event was described as providing a small Final Puzzle bonus. The exact effect was not confirmed, so do not expect it to unlock the puzzle or assume it changes a specific mechanic.
Only spend time on this step if the official hub still shows a live Admin Abuse prompt or schedule. If it does, use the station, play the linked event, and return to the hub. If the prompt is gone, you have not missed a known access requirement.
Explore the Infinity Hub Before You Enter the Final Puzzle
Once your progress is registered, walk through the Infinity section so you know where to go. The gold Final Puzzle trophy is the main landmark, while floating displays for games such as 100 Days at Sea, Reclone, Anime Expeditions, Clean All the Leaves, and Steal an Egg help you recognize the final-area layout.
This exploration is not another unlock condition. It simply saves you from searching through a crowded hub when you are ready to attempt the puzzle. Find the trophy, note the nearby floating game displays, and keep the route in mind before you leave.
Final-day readiness check
Before the event closes, verify the 20 main badges, 20 secret badges, and the hub's 20/20 fragment registration. Check the live hub once for any remaining Secret Challenge or Admin Abuse prompt, but do not treat either optional route as guaranteed. The first-20 Dominus race has already been reported decided, so focus on getting your own progress recognized and entering the Final Puzzle before 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on September 28.
The official close is the deadline that matters. The practical next step is to use the hub's current state, confirm the trophy accepts your progress, and attempt the finale while the event is still available.
