Jailbreak is one of Roblox's most iconic games and one of the five titles specifically highlighted by Roblox for The Hunt: Roblox 20. It represents Year 18 in the event's chronological track — the open-world cops-and-robbers experience launched in 2017 that went on to become one of the most-played Roblox games in history. Getting the Jailbreak badge in The Hunt earns you both the S1 and M1 badges for your anniversary reward track. This guide covers the quest steps, what to do when you arrive, and tips for completing it efficiently before the event closes September 28, 2026.
⚡ Quick Answer
Access Jailbreak through the Year 18 portal in The Hunt: Roblox 20 hub. Complete the S1 anniversary quest (main objective) then the M1 harder challenge before exiting — both badges count toward the free avatar item track. Quest steps are being confirmed as players complete them on September 17 — this page updates within hours of confirmation. Bookmark and check back.
What Is the Jailbreak Hunt Badge?
The Jailbreak badge is one of 20 badges available in The Hunt: Roblox 20, Roblox's official 20th anniversary event running September 17–28, 2026. Jailbreak represents Year 18 in the event's chronological structure — you must complete all previous years before the Jailbreak portal unlocks in the hub.
Like every game in The Hunt: Roblox 20, Jailbreak awards two badges:
- S1 (Standard Badge) — earned by completing Jailbreak's main anniversary quest objective.
- M1 (Mega Badge) — earned by completing a harder secondary challenge inside Jailbreak during the same visit.
📊 Key Detail: Jailbreak is one of five games specifically flagged by Roblox as a priority pick for The Hunt: Roblox 20 alongside Crossroads, Lumber Tycoon 2, Adopt Me!, and Grow a Garden. It is the game representing Roblox's 2017 era and one of the most-visited games in the platform's history. (Pro Game Guides, September 2026)
How to Access Jailbreak in The Hunt Hub
You cannot jump directly into Jailbreak from the Roblox game page and earn the badge — you must enter through the official event hub portal. Here's the exact path:
- Open the event hub. Search "The Hunt: Roblox 20" on Roblox and join the official hub experience built by Twin Atlas.
- Complete all previous years first. Jailbreak is Year 18 — you must clear Years 0 through 17 before the Jailbreak portal unlocks. The hub locks years until the previous one is cleared.
- Open the quest menu. Before entering the Jailbreak portal, press the Quests button on the event tracker. Confirm the quest pays S1/M1 badges — not hub currency.
- Enter the Jailbreak portal. Walk up to the Year 18 portal and press the green entrance button to teleport into Jailbreak.
- Complete both S1 and M1 before exiting. Do not leave after only the S1 — stay and complete the M1 in the same visit. Badges are awarded once per account and replaying adds nothing to your count.
⚠️ Important: Entering Jailbreak through its regular Roblox game page will NOT give you The Hunt badge. The anniversary quest only triggers when you enter through the Year 18 hub portal. Joining Jailbreak directly and completing objectives there does nothing for The Hunt reward track.
S1 Badge: How to Get It
The S1 Standard badge comes from completing Jailbreak's main anniversary quest. The Hunt: Roblox 20 launched on September 17, 2026 and specific quest steps are being documented by the community right now — this section updates within hours of confirmation.

🔄 S1 Quest Steps — Updating
The exact S1 quest objective for Jailbreak in The Hunt: Roblox 20 is being confirmed as players complete it on September 17. Based on Jailbreak's open-world structure and previous Hunt events, the quest is likely to involve completing a heist, escaping prison, or reaching a specific location in the game world. Bookmark this page — steps update within hours of community confirmation.
What to do while waiting for confirmation: Load into Jailbreak through the Year 18 portal and look for a blue Hunt event marker or an NPC with an anniversary icon. These are the two most common quest entry points in The Hunt events across all participating games. Interact with anything that glows or carries a Hunt logo — that is where the quest chain starts.
M1 Badge: How to Get It
The M1 Mega badge requires completing a harder secondary challenge in Jailbreak after completing the S1. In previous Hunt events, Mega badge challenges in open-world games typically involved a more complex version of the same quest — reaching a harder location, completing more objectives, or defeating a tougher challenge.
🔄 M1 Quest Steps — Updating
The exact M1 challenge for Jailbreak is being confirmed. Bookmark this page — steps update within hours of community confirmation. Complete the S1 first and look for a follow-up objective marker inside Jailbreak before exiting.
💡 Critical Tip: Complete both S1 and M1 in a single visit. After you earn the S1 badge you will see a notification appear on screen — do not exit the portal at this point. Look immediately for the M1 follow-up objective in the same session. Leaving and re-entering wastes time and a portal trip.
Tips for New Jailbreak Players Doing The Hunt Quest
If you don't usually play Jailbreak, these basics will stop you from wasting time on arrival:
- You spawn as either a prisoner or a police officer. Both sides have different spawn locations and movement options. The Hunt quest likely works from either side — check the quest marker before committing to one role.
- The map is large and open-world. If the quest sends you to a specific location, use the minimap in the corner of the screen to navigate. Don't run randomly — check the quest tracker direction first.
- Other players will be active in the server. Police can arrest prisoners and vice versa. If your quest requires movement across the map, avoid confrontations with other players while carrying a quest item.
- Vehicles spawn around the map. If the quest location is far, grab any vehicle near spawn — cars, motorcycles, and helicopters all spawn across Jailbreak's map and are faster than running.
- Look for a glowing hunt marker or NPC immediately on spawn. Every Hunt event in Jailbreak-style open-world games places a clear visual indicator near the spawn zone. Check near the prison entrance and the police station first.
💡 Time Estimate: Based on previous Hunt events in open-world Roblox games, expect the Jailbreak S1 + M1 combined to take roughly 15–30 minutes depending on your familiarity with the map. Budget at least 45 minutes your first time in case you need to navigate unfamiliar areas.
What the Jailbreak Badges Unlock
Each badge you earn — including both the Jailbreak S1 and M1 — adds to your total badge count in the event hub. That total unlocks the seven free anniversary UGC avatar items on a tiered track:
| Item | Type |
|---|---|
| Vicennial Party Hat | Hat |
| Birthday Time Fedora | Hat |
| Horn of Candles | Accessory |
| Crown of Rivals | Crown |
| Silver Rivals Domino Crown | Crown |
| Golden Rivals Domino Crown | Crown |
| Confetti Cannon | Accessory |
All seven items are free and all disappear on September 28. For the full breakdown of badge thresholds and the complete event guide, see our The Hunt: Roblox 20 complete free items guide and all games and badges master list.
