The Ready Player Two event was one of Roblox’s most memorable collaborations, filled with puzzles, challenges, and rewards that brought the community together back in 2020. However, recently the game’s hub faced a shocking turn of events — it was hacked and eventually deleted. Here’s a full breakdown of what happened, how the hack occurred, and what it means for Roblox players who still remember the event.
What Happened to the Ready Player Two Hub
It all started when players noticed strange changes in the Ready Player Two Hub. A YouTuber reportedly gained unauthorized access to the game and began altering its content. According to players, the hacker replaced game elements, added clown emoji badges, and linked his YouTube channel to the official Roblox page — a risky move that violated Roblox’s community and developer guidelines.
While the game’s thumbnail, description, and layout initially looked the same, players quickly realized the game was compromised. Many avoided joining the hub due to fears of malicious scripts or potential data-stealing GUIs, which are sometimes inserted into hacked experiences.
How the Hack Worked
Early speculation suggested that the hacker used a backdoor script or model to gain access. However, later findings showed something far more concerning:
- The hacker joined the official Ready Player Two group and managed to obtain developer permissions.
- With this access, he could edit the hub, add new badges, and change settings freely.
- Players who joined the hacked version reported that it would freeze their computers or devices, likely due to a script overload.
This wasn’t the hacker’s first appearance — reports linked him to a previous incident involving the NARS Color Quest event in 2024, where he modified the game to give out free items automatically.
Roblox’s Response and Event Deletion
Shortly after the hack spread, the Ready Player Two Hub was removed entirely. When players tried to access it, they were met with an Error 404 page, meaning Roblox had likely content-deleted the experience to prevent further damage.
This decision effectively ended one of Roblox’s longest-lasting event hubs, which had remained online for almost five years. The removal disappointed fans who hoped the hub would remain as a nostalgic piece of Roblox history.
Did the Hack Unlock Old Rewards?
Some players claimed they briefly received old items such as Meta Shades and Book of Knowledge, but most reports confirmed that these accessories were not actually added to their inventories. The hack didn’t reactivate the item scripts — it only gave the illusion of obtaining them.
Unfortunately, the Ready Player Two Hub is gone for now, and Roblox has not announced any plans to restore it. Given how the hack occurred, the incident serves as a reminder for both players and developers to practice better account security:
- Never click YouTube or external links inside Roblox games.
- Avoid joining suspicious or duplicated experiences, especially if they mimic official ones.
- Enable 2-step verification on Roblox accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
The Ready Player Two event was a special moment in Roblox history, bringing together players from across the platform to solve puzzles and earn limited prizes. Sadly, the recent hacking incident has brought that era to an end.
The situation shows how even long-standing experiences can be vulnerable if developer access isn’t properly managed. While the hack didn’t cause lasting harm to players, it did erase an important piece of Roblox’s event legacy. Hopefully, future Roblox events will learn from this and implement stronger protection for official hubs.
