Finally, after months of waiting, the biggest event of the season — the ROBLOX Winter Games — has officially started! Now through February 10th, you can compete in five events to unlock badges and earn prizes, and climb to the top of the global leaderboard! Start at the Winter Games Lodge, created by veteran builder asimo3089, and use the ski lift through the back door to get to the event of your choice.

The events

The Winter Games are set up as a Game Universe, which is essentially a series of interconnected places. Every time you play, you’ll start at the hub world (that is, the ski lodge) and use the gondolas to teleport to the individual events. Game Universes have much better data storage than you’ve ever experienced before, so we’ve added a global leaderboard spanning all five events to the hub world (next to the campfire) and leaderboards to each individual event. Scores will be recorded over the course of the entire Winter Games.

This is one of the most competitive site events to be hosted on ROBLOX yet. If you’re a top gamer, ROBLOXia will know it!

All of the events featured in the Winter Games and the ski lodge were created by ROBLOX game developers.

Badges, hats and medals

Each of the five Winter Games events features a series of badges that you unlock by completing challenges. Unlocking badges also gets you hats, so you can wear your pride for everyone to see. The following image shows a small sample of the hats you can earn.

We’re also giving away medals for placing first, second, or third in any individual event. That doesn’t mean being first, second or third on the leaderboard, but simply finishing a single round in one of the top three positions.

Finally, we’ll be giving additional prizes to those of you who manage to land near the top of the leaderboards at the end of the Games. We’re not ready to show exactly what those prizes are just yet, but don’t let that stop you from giving The Winter Games your all.

Play now

The Winter Games will be open until February 10th. This is a momentous event — both in the sense it’s the first complete demo of Game Universes and the first ROBLOX gaming event of its kind. Our hats are off to the game developers who contributed to this project, and all of you competitors who are going to shoot to win this thing.

Go get yourself a gold!
