🏆 The Hunt: Mega Edition Event

As part of the event, players could dive into exclusive challenges to earn special tokens and battle for a place in the top 10 on the leaderboard. Those elite players were invited to Roblox HQ in California for a live-streamed final showdown—with a jaw-dropping grand prize of $1 million.

🎯 How to Earn the RIVALS Mega Token

To get the Mega Token, players needed to complete a multi-step set of tasks:
