Egg Hunt 2013: Roblox's Only Hatching Egg Hunt

Egg Hunt 2013 was Roblox's Easter event that year, a ten-day hunt running March 26 through April 5, 2013, spread across a dedicated hunt map, hidden spots on the Roblox website, and Roblox Studio itself. It's still the only Egg Hunt where several eggs "hatched" mid-event, vanishing from inventories and reappearing days later as completely different items. Twelve of its egg Limiteds carry live market data today, from the Builderman Egg at 462 RAP down to the Supersonic Egg at 265, off floats between roughly 55,000 and 254,000 copies each.

What Was Egg Hunt 2013?

The 2013 hunt was built as one large custom place rather than the platform-wide egg-drop format Roblox had used for Eggstravaganza back in 2008. Community records put the total count at 34 eggs across three categories: roughly 25 found by exploring the main hunt map, including three rarer Fabergé eggs, three hidden on the Roblox website itself, and six unlocked by doing things inside Roblox Studio, the platform's building tool. That last category is notable on its own. It's commonly cited as the first Egg Hunt to tie prizes to Studio activity instead of just in-game hunting, a structural idea Roblox kept reusing in later hunts.

Every egg with market data in our system carries the same catalog description, a direct callback to the original hunt place: "Win this egg in ROBLOX's 2013 Egg Hunt." That's a useful anchor for dating and verifying the set, since it ties each item straight back to the 2013 event rather than a later re-release or homage.

Not every gold-colored egg from this era belongs to this family, either. The Golden Egg of Kings looks like a natural fit for a "golden egg" hunt, but it's actually a 2008 Eggstravaganza prize, obtained by wearing a crown when touching it, that only picked up Limited status the following year. Worth knowing before you go looking for it here.

The Twelve Egg Hunt 2013 Limiteds

None of these twelve show a trader consensus value distinct from RAP; they're common, high-float items where street price and RAP sit close together, so the table below is simply ordered by live RAP.

The Last Egg of 2013 is the standout on this list. Its in-game description reads, "It's the last one. Go get it. You've got a few hours left," confirming it as the closing prize released right before the hunt ended on April 5. Despite launching last, it landed the second-highest RAP in the family, behind only the Builderman Egg, likely because a closing-window release naturally caps how many players had time left to grab a copy before the map came down. At 55,003 copies it also carries the smallest float of the twelve by a wide margin, less than half of the next-lowest.

The Hatching Mechanic: A One-Time Experiment

Egg Hunt 2013 tried something Roblox has never repeated since: a handful of eggs "hatched" into new items after players already had them sitting in their inventory. Between April 1 and April 12, 2013, several eggs, including the Egg of Duty, Egg of Scales, and Sorcus Egg, were swapped out for follow-up items. The Egg of Duty hatched on April 5 into the Badblox Hatchling, a gear-type replacement rather than a hat. The Egg of Scales hatched into a companion called Scaley, the Dragon.

That window overlapped the tail end of the hunt itself and ran a full week past its April 5 close, so players who'd already claimed an egg woke up to find it had quietly become something else. It's an odd piece of platform history: a limited-run experiment in items that changed shape after the fact, something the fixed-supply, static nature of most Limiteds normally doesn't allow. None of the hatched results carry meaningful market data today, they exist in low or zero float, but the mechanic itself is part of what makes 2013 stand out from every hunt before or after it.

The GGE: The Hunt's Strangest Chase

Most eggs in this family sat still or bounced predictably, but the GGE broke that pattern outright. Community accounts describe it as a rolling egg that would flee from any player who approached, forcing you to chase it into a wall or corner before it would let itself be caught. It's an unusual mechanic for what otherwise reads as a plain catalog item today, and it's a reminder that these RAP numbers represent what was, in 2013, an active piece of minigame design rather than a static hat waiting in a field.

Why These Eggs Trade So Cheap Almost Thirteen Years Later

Compare this family to Eggstravaganza's eggs, some of which carry five-figure RAP off floats under 3,000 copies, and the gap is stark. The 2013 eggs sit in the low hundreds of RAP with floats in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Supply is the entire story. A single custom hunt map that stayed open for ten days, plus website and Studio unlocks that didn't require split-second timing or player-versus-player combat, let far more people walk away with a copy of each egg than Eggstravaganza's scattered, hard-to-execute mechanics ever did.

That doesn't make the family worthless to a collector, it makes it a different kind of asset. These are accessible, verifiably founding-era pieces of Roblox history at a fraction of the cost of a grail-tier Limited. A trader isn't buying scarcity here; they're buying an authentic, dated artifact from a specific ten-day window in Roblox's early history, at a price that doesn't require a five-figure budget to own a piece of it. That's a real trade-off worth naming out loud, and not financial advice either way.

A Collector's Outlook

The 2013 set isn't going anywhere in a hurry. Floats this large only shrink through account inactivity and gradual attrition, not planned scarcity, so don't expect a sudden supply squeeze to move these RAP numbers the way it might on a thinner item. What you're paying for is history at an entry price most beginner collectors can actually afford, and a set that's unlikely to ever get a second run given how tightly Roblox scopes each year's hunt to its own theme.

Anyone building a position across multiple Classic Limited eras can screen this family against pricier founding-era pieces on the items leaderboard, or watch for underpriced listings on the deal feed before buying in.

FAQ

What was Egg Hunt 2013?

Egg Hunt 2013 was Roblox's Easter event that year, running March 26 through April 5, 2013. Players found eggs across a dedicated hunt map, hidden spots on the Roblox website, and unlocks inside Roblox Studio, roughly 34 eggs in total across all three categories.

Why did some Egg Hunt 2013 eggs "hatch"?

Between April 1 and April 12, 2013, a handful of eggs, including the Egg of Duty and Egg of Scales, were automatically replaced in players' inventories with new follow-up items. It's the only Egg Hunt to use this mechanic, which is why it's remembered as a one-off experiment rather than a recurring feature.

Which Egg Hunt 2013 item is the most valuable?

The Builderman Egg, at a live RAP of 462 off 173,934 copies. The Last Egg of 2013, the closing prize released right before the hunt ended, follows close behind at 459 RAP despite having the smallest float in the family at 55,003 copies.

Is the Golden Egg of Kings part of Egg Hunt 2013?

No. Despite the name, the Golden Egg of Kings is a 2008 Eggstravaganza prize obtained by wearing a crown, not a 2013 Egg Hunt item.

Why do Egg Hunt 2013 eggs have such low RAP compared to Eggstravaganza's eggs?

Supply. The 2013 hunt ran for ten days on an open map with comparatively accessible collection mechanics, so far more players walked away with copies than Eggstravaganza's scattered, hard-to-execute 2008 event allowed. Floats here run from roughly 55,000 to over 250,000 copies each, versus a few thousand for most Eggstravaganza eggs.
