Time (mostly known as The Hunt: First Edition event) is an event map created for Roblox's The Hunt: First Edition event. This map awarded the Time badge on completion. Gryffyn is the primary bot for the first phase of the chapter, while two creatures are the second phase’s bots. Blatt is the second phase’s primary bot and Scry is the phase’s secondary bot. Blatt was released as a skin on March 18th, 2024, and Scry was released as a Build Mode NPC on April 21st, 2024. You unlocked Blatt and Scry after escaping the map, along with claiming the Hunt badge (Time) for this game, if you completed it before March 29th, 2024.

On June 6th, 2024, it returned to the Piggy game, but only on private servers. On completion, it awards the Blatt skin and the Scry Build Mode NPC, alongside the Time (Post-Hunt) badge.

On August 21st, 2024, it made its third return, this time in public servers. It rewards the same items as its previous release: the Blatt skin and Scry Build Mode NPC, and the Time (Post-Hunt) badge.

Appearance

The first part is a medieval stone-based area with a castle structure and wooden booths outside. The castle consists of three accessible rooms, two floors, two staircases and two entrances.

The second part of the map is a four-part urban setting over a pitch black void. Four structures are connected by metal beams and planks: A basic concrete structure, a receptionist building, an office building and an apartment building. The receptionist building has an additional layer on top with a safe room accessed from scaling two purplish blue metal beams.

Gameplay

This map has two phases: A medieval phase and an urban phase.

First Phase

The bot of this section, Gryffyn, is a typical patrol bot, though it does not place traps. This phase only has two used items: The Yellow Key and the Blue Key. The Yellow Key is used on a downstairs room of the castle while the Blue Key is used on the upstairs room of the castle. One of the castle staircases is slanted, which is fixed by pulling a lever. To access this lever, the book puzzle in the unlocked castle room must be completed. There are three books: A standing book, a slanted book and a flat book. Clicking these in the correct order will unlock the lever area. The order is found on a note labeled "123" with | for standing book, / for slanted book and _ for flat book to indicate the correct order (Ex, ||/ means standing, standing, slanted). To escape this section, the time machine's coordinates need to be adjusted and its valves need to be fixed. The coordinates are found on notes with strings of numbers where one number is larger than the others. This large number corresponds to the coordinate it it's labeled as (either X, Y or Z, left to right). The valves are shown in notes where a number is circled and a point faces either up, left, down or right. The number indicates which valve from the left should be adjusted and the direction indicates where its arrow should face. Doing both causes a transition to the second phase for all players.

Second Phase

This phase's main gimmick is its two bots: Blatt and Scry. Blatt is able to kill players but is completely blind and follows a set path. Scry cannot kill players but will alert Blatt of any players in its line of sight. Blatt will pursue them, only losing pursuit once the player dies or enough distance is covered. They both follow patrol points and don't place traps. Three keys are used here: The Red Key, the Green Key and the Elevator Key. The Red Key is used on a room in the apartment building, the Green Key is used on the safe room and the Elevator Key is used on three elevators. The method of escaping is by opening the safe in the Green Key room, which inside there's is a Vault which requires a code. The code is a similar shape to the Circle Puzzle in Temple, though the rings are moved with separate buttons instead of clicking the rings themselves. Each ring needs to have the correct number align to the right. The numbers are found by unlocking elevators, which causes the light above them to change from an X to a two digit number. The tens place indicates which ring (from the inside) the number goes to and the ones place indicates what number goes in that field. All three elevators must be unlocked in order for the map to be completable.

Transcript

• Prologue
• Phase Transition
• Epilogue

(After a while of Piggy and Little Brother standing on the Main Menu, a time machine causes a large explosion through the left wall of the menu screen. Piggy looks behind her while Little Brother tilts his head towards the machine.)

Finley: "Ow.. My head..."

Finley: "Uh... How long have you been standing there?"

Finley: "... Not that it matters! Say, you look like the adventuring type!"

Finley: "How about you come join me, The Great Finley on his quest through time to find some treasure?"

Finley: "Come along now, there's plenty of time to waste later!"

Finley: "How do I work this thing again?"

Finley: "This was meant to come off, right?"

Finley: "AAAAAAAA"

Finley: "Well done, team! We fixed it together!"

(Time machine flies down and crashes.)

Finley: "Okay, go find me- I mean us- some treasure!"

Finley: "At last, what I've definitely been looking for!"

Finley: "This... egg... thing!"

Finley: "Now, about your reward... uh..."

Finley: "What to do, what to do...?"

Finley: "I've got it!"

Finley: "Sorry buddy, but finders, keepers!"

(Finley throws the egg artifact at the player, knocking them out. They wake up at an empty version of the Book 1 menu.)
