Egg Hunt 2014: Roblox's Time-Traveling Hunt

Egg Hunt 2014, officially titled Save the Eggverse!, ran April 11 through April 23, 2014, and sent players hopping across five different time periods on one connected map instead of the single flat arena Roblox had used before. It was the first Egg Hunt built mostly out of terrain rather than blocky parts, and the family it produced still trades today: 30 of its 34 released eggs carry live market data, topped by the Ruby Fabergé Egg of Sparkle Time at a RAP well above the rest of the set.

What Was Egg Hunt 2014: Save the Eggverse!?

The story followed Lucky Lapin, a rabbit who collects rare eggs, kidnapped by his evil counterpart Rabid Rabbit from an alternate "Eggverse." During the escape, Rabid's teleporter malfunctioned and scattered the eggs (and Rabid's minions) across time. Players worked through five versions of the same location, called CS1 through CS5: Neolithic times, the Medieval era, the present day, an uncertain future, and a forsaken future overrun by Rabid's forces, before finally battling Rabid Rabbit himself to close out the hunt.

That structure made it the first Egg Hunt built primarily from terrain rather than block-based parts, and the first to use five separate maps instead of one. Early versions of the hunt required players to collect a set number of eggs before a portal to the next map would open; that gate was later removed so players could jump to any world freely.

A Launch Roblox Almost Didn't Survive

Development reportedly didn't start until mid-to-late March 2014, a much shorter runway than the 2013 hunt had, and it showed. The place opened on April 11 and closed again about an hour later after major bugs knocked players offline. It was made friends-only, pulled from the front page, and reopened the next day only to close again for more fixes. That cycle repeated through most of April: the hunt closed on April 16 so the team could add CS4, reopened on the 17th, closed again, and reopened on the 18th before finally shutting for good at 6:00 PM PST on April 23.

Reception at launch was rough. Players complained about the bugs, the constant closures, and a design that scattered eggs across multiple places without an easy way to hunt alongside friends. Many at the time preferred the simpler 2012 and 2013 hunts. That verdict didn't hold, though. In the years since, Egg Hunt 2014 has been reappraised as one of the stronger entries in the series, credited for its story, its five-world scope, and its egg designs, flaws and all.

The Fabergé Ladder: Six Tiers of Rarity

Rather than one "rare" egg tier, Egg Hunt 2014 built a six-step ladder of Fabergé eggs that unlocked progressively as players advanced through the five worlds: Aqua, Elegant, Black Iron, Gilded, Ruby, and finally Sapphire. Each new world added the next tier to the pool of eggs that could spawn, so by the time a player reached CS5, all six were in play at once. Ruby, introduced in CS4, is the highest tier with live market data in our system today. Sapphire, exclusive to the final world, doesn't carry tracked data at all, which likely reflects how few players finished the hunt during a stretch defined by repeated shutdowns.

The 30 Tracked Egg Hunt 2014 Limiteds

None of these thirty show a trader consensus value that departs from RAP; they're high-float, frequently traded items where street price and RAP sit close together. The table below is ordered by live RAP as of this run.

Four other eggs from the hunt don't appear in the table because they carry no tracked market data today: the Sapphire Fabergé Egg of Sparkle Time (CS5's top-tier grail), the April Fools-exclusive Egg of Destiny, the website-only TL;DR Egg of Eggstreme Aggravation, and the Eggvertisment Egg 2: Pastel Boogaloo, whose original claim link now returns a dead page.

Why Ruby Sits So Far Above the Rest

Ruby Fabergé Egg of Sparkle Time's RAP of 1,848 isn't close to second place. Part of that gap comes from supply: at 6,896 copies it's the tightest float of any tracked egg in the family, well below the next-lowest, Gilded Fabergé Egg of Bygone Days, at 9,597. It also sat near the top of the Fabergé ladder, only outranked by Sapphire, during a hunt that spent more days closed for bug fixes than open. Fewer usable days plus a scarcer spawn tier plus a late unlock point adds up to the kind of supply squeeze that shows up directly in RAP.

Puzzle Eggs vs. Grind Eggs

A good chunk of this family wasn't just sitting in a field waiting to be picked up. Egg of Friendship needed two players standing on pressure plates at once. Egg of Partnership needed three players coordinating across separate caves. Egg of Cooperation needed four players finding hidden coordinates on computer terminals. Egg of Flawless Teamwork needed five. Eggy Pop required typing "I love you" while standing near it, and Rabid Egg only dropped after clearing the hunt's final boss fight. Those multiplayer and objective-based eggs generally landed with smaller floats than the "collect it when it randomly appeared" eggs like Basic Egg 2014 or Egg of Life, which is a useful pattern to watch across egg families in general: mechanics that require coordination or skill cap participation, and floats end up smaller as a result.

A Collector's Outlook

This is a family built on volume, not scarcity, with the notable exception of Ruby (and the untracked Sapphire above it). Most of these eggs sit in the low hundreds of RAP off floats in the tens of thousands, which puts them in reach of a beginner collector rather than a whale. What makes the set worth a look isn't upside so much as story: it's a dated, verifiable artifact from a specific two-week window that Roblox itself later admitted was rushed, wrapped in a piece of platform history that never got repeated in quite the same form. This isn't financial advice, and thin trading on the rarer end of any egg family, including Ruby, means real offers can take longer to land than on a high-volume hat Limited.

Traders comparing this family against other founding-era egg sets can screen live RAP across the whole items leaderboard, or check the deal feed for listings priced under floor before deciding where to put Robux.

FAQ

What was Egg Hunt 2014: Save the Eggverse!?

It was Roblox's 2014 Easter event, running April 11 through April 23, 2014. Players explored five versions of the same map set in different time periods, following a story about rescuing Lucky Lapin from his evil counterpart, Rabid Rabbit. It released 34 eggs in total.

Why did Egg Hunt 2014 keep closing and reopening?

The place launched with major bugs and was pulled offline about an hour after release. It cycled through several more closures over the following two weeks, partly to fix issues and partly to add the fourth map, CS4, before finally shutting down on April 23.

Which Egg Hunt 2014 item is the most valuable?

The Ruby Fabergé Egg of Sparkle Time, with a live RAP of 1,848 off just 6,896 copies, well above every other tracked egg in the family. It sits second only to the untracked Sapphire Fabergé Egg of Sparkle Time on the hunt's rarity ladder.

Did every Egg Hunt 2014 egg become a tradeable Limited?

No. Four of the 34 released eggs carry no live market data today: the Sapphire Fabergé Egg of Sparkle Time, the Egg of Destiny (an April Fools exclusive), the TL;DR Egg of Eggstreme Aggravation (a website-only egg), and the Eggvertisment Egg 2: Pastel Boogaloo.

Was Egg Hunt 2014 well received at the time?

Not initially. Players criticized its bugs, repeated closures, and a layout that made it hard to hunt with friends. Its reputation has since improved, and it's now often cited as one of the stronger Egg Hunts for its five-world story structure.
