The Classic

The Classic was an event themed around "classic" or "old" Roblox. Similar to The Hunt: First Edition, this event featured portals to user-created experiences, with a central hub experience. Users could complete challenges across fifteen participating experiences to unlock limited-time event-related avatar items. Additionally, users could complete supplementary challenges in these experiences to unlock hub-exclusive benefits. The event started on May 23, 2024 and ended on May 28, 2024.
== History ==
On May 8, 2024, Roblox CEO David Baszucki announced on his X (formerly Twitter) that Roblox was "experimenting with [...] new event types," following The Hunt: First Edition. In the same post, he stated he had "been enjoying a replay of the first game [he] built on Roblox" and included a link to the experience Crossroads. That hour, the official Roblox X account quote replied to his post with an eyes emoji.
On May 10, 2024, the official Roblox X account quote replied to an old post asking users whether they would "bring back Old Roblox OR keep New Roblox" with "Soon, you won't have to choose..."
On May 14, 2024, the event's start date, May 23, 2024, was announced in an X video featuring older accessories (creation dates spanning 2008-2014).
Roblox posted a second video to X on May 17, 2024. The video begins with two players resembling walking through The Hunt portals and slowly transitioning into The Classic map. The text "Events are back!!" appears before an explosion, then The Classic's official logo and start date appear on screen. The same post announced that "From The Hunt to The Classic, events are officially back."
On May 18, 2024, two new bundles, the Treasure Finder and the Timeless Valkyrie, were released in the marketplace for 19,000 Robux. Roblox stated on X that both will "unlock rewards during The Classic."
On May 20, 2024, the official event page went live, featuring a countdown to the start of the event and a frequently asked questions page.
On May 21, 2024, a portal was added to the hub experience of The Hunt: First Edition to teleport to The Classic. Attempting to enter the portal and teleport before the event's start date will result in an "Attempted to teleport to a place that is restricted." error.
On May 22, 2024, Today's Picks were updated for all users to be changed to classic-related experiences. The sort was temporarily renamed to "Today's Picks: Ready for The Classic?", and featured Natural Disaster Survival, Speed Run 4, Crossroads, and Doomspire Brickbattle.
On May 23rd, 2024, when the event released, the hub experience of The Hunt: First Edition was updated with a live event, where the lobby glitched out with classic blocks spawning from the sky, and the players getting sucked into the Roblox logo, which teleported everyone in the server to the hub of The Classic.

==Ending==
On the last day of the event, the Tix Machine filled up to its maximum capacity and exploded, which revealed an entrance to a room. The user has to locate four color-coded numbers hidden throughout the map and enter them into the keypad next to the vault. The order corresponds to the wires.
The numbers vary across servers, though all players get the same combination. The numbers are found in the following places:
*Red: Near the portal to The Hunt, on one of the pillars
*Blue: On the upper floor of the hidden base in The Moon
*Green: In the Volcano
*Yellow: On the Epic Duck statue.
Entering the vault will initiate a boss battle against 1x1x1x1, where your Rocket Launcher, Timebomb, and Superballs can deal damage to him. There's also a Linked Sword giver in the center of the room if you don't have either of these. Defeating 1x1x1x1 initiates an end credits sequence.
== Reception ==
The event received a mixed response from the player base. The event was praised for acknowledging some of Roblox’s past, and its unique diversity for its prizes. Though, it also received criticism for the perceived high cost of the Daemonshank, and the 1x1x1x1 boss fight not having a grand prize.
== Trivia==
 
*The event is based on a retro theme style, which refers to Roblox events created in earlier times.
*The first video teaser Tweet, on May 14, 2024, is captioned "10 days until things go classic", implying that the event will begin on May 24, 2024, instead of on the actual release date: May 23, 2024. 
**Despite this, the video shows the correct release date.
*This is the twelfth time Roblox has offered a way for administrators to hand out unique items. 
** The previous being: Hallow's Eve 2014, Roblox Easter Egg Hunt 2015, Egg Hunt 2016: Eggcellent Adventure (x2), Egg Hunt 2017: The Lost Eggs, Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales, Pizza Party, Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time, Egg Hunt 2020: Agents of E.G.G., and Metaverse Champions.
* This is the fourth time Roblox has offered a way for developers of participating games to hand out unique items. 
** The previous being: Pizza Party, Egg Hunt 2020: Agents of E.G.G., and Metaverse Champions.
*This is the sixth time Roblox has offered a way for members of the Roblox Video Stars Program to hand out unique items. 
** The previous being: Pizza Party, Egg Hunt 2019, Egg Hunt 2020, Metaverse Champions, and The Hunt: First Edition.
*The Classic VIP T-shirt might be a reference to how experiences made shirts for VIP since game passes did not exist until 2012. In the description, it includes, "Who knows what doors it'll open for you!" This might be a reference to VIP-only doors.
*The logo shown in the official logo at the top of the square is the Roblox Logo from 2015-2017.
*When the event page first launched, the title of the web page incorrectly read "The Hunt Awaits".
*The hub, to fit the theme of classic Roblox, has the old starter place's house named Happy Home in Robloxia (2007-2010), its playground, basic trees and various old places from old Roblox, like Roblox HQ.
*The font used on the event page is Comic Neue.
*Gurt, the pig that originates from Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales, makes another appearance in The Classic lobby in which his model is simply hidden in a small area that's hidden by a wall you can walk through near the cart race track. 
**This is the 2nd time Gurt has appeared in a official Roblox event in 2024, with him also appearing in The Hunt: First Edition.
*The loading screen of the lobby is a reference to the loading screen of 2006-2011, with Bricks and Connectors.
* All of the 3 items that are each launched by developers, Star Creators, and Administrators are all desserts.
*The checkpoints portals that teleport users from location to location within the hub are a reference to Roblox Easter Egg Hunt 2013, where the same portals were used to teleport users across the egg hunt map. 
**The portals function identically to how they did in the Egg Hunt: in order to unlock the portal, you have to first find it within the experience and then walk through it.
**These portals also appeared during Egg Hunt 2016: Eggcellent Adventure and Egg Hunt 2020: Agents of E.G.G. (as a part of Break In's event integration), making this the fourth time that the portals have appeared in a Roblox event.
*Throughout the map, there are several markings etched around the world that say "1x1x1x1".
*Despite the event's "classic" themes, the default sky is used in the thumbnails. The game also uses R15 rather than R6, as the former was not implemented into Roblox until 2016.
* The secret room in the Wardrobe Secret quest resembles the mobile Avatar Editor room from late 2016.
*As a tribute to Kabosu (also known as Doge), Roblox added them to the experience where they're hidden in a cave like Gurt. When clicked, she barks.
*Roblox invited Doors to participate in the event, but due to the upcoming Doors update, they had to decline that offer.
*In an area of the hub, a portal to the hub of The Hunt: First Edition can be found, which can be used to teleport yourself to that hub. 
**During this event, the hub of The Hunt looks a bit different, with the differences noted below:
***The countdown at the center of the hub shows the time remaining for The Classic to end, and the light is instead yellow.
***At random times, a ‘glitch’ effect can occur on the player’s screen, revealing more classic buildings, trees, with chunks of ground beneath them.
*The Backpack (or hotbar/inventory) style in The Classic is based on the November 2012 style.
*On the same day the event started, Pull a Sword added their own classic event. Many people believed it to be part of the main event, even before the event started.
