How to Start the Elf Hunt in Bloxburg in 2026?
Before we dive into the specific locations for this year, let’s cover the basics. If you are new to the event or haven’t participated in a few years, the mechanics are simple but essential to understand.
First, you don’t need to purchase a pass or pay any Blockbux to start. The event is free for all players. However, you do need to ensure your game is updated to the latest version.
Step 1: Log in during June 2026. Once you spawn, you will likely see a notification or a special icon on your screen indicating the event is active.
Step 2: Check the Elf Hunt Icon. Usually, there is a specific UI element or a “gift” icon in your menu or top bar that tracks your progress. It tells you if you have found the elf for the current day.
Step 3: Find the Elf. The elf spawns in a specific location on the main map (not in your plot). Once you find and interact with him (usually by touching or clicking), you will receive your reward instantly.
Bloxburg Elf Hunt (June 2026) Daily Locations & Guide
This section is the heart of our article. Based on the patterns from previous years and the current data for the 2026 event, I have mapped out the locations.
Note: Locations reset or change daily. If a location isn’t working, try server hopping (leaving and joining a new server).
Day 1: The Beach
The hunt typically starts easy. For Day 1 of the 2026 event, the Elf likes to relax by the ocean.
- Location: Head to the Beach area. You will find the elf near the picnic tables close to the lifeguard tower.
- Visual Cue: Look for a small red and green cap sticking out from behind the palm trees near the water.
- Reward: $5,000 and a “Snowy Globe” decorative item.
Day 2: The Mountain
The elf takes to the heights on Day 2. This one is a bit trickier because of the terrain.
- Location: Go to the Mountain. The elf is usually located near the cabin or the picnic spot at the top of the hiking trail.
- Visual Cue: He is hiding inside the small wooden shed or right next to the campfire.
- Reward: $7,500.
Day 3: The City Hall
A classic spot for hide-and-seek.
- Location: Drive or run to the City Hall building. The elf is often found on the steps leading up to the entrance or behind the large Christmas tree usually erected there for the holidays.
- Visual Cue: Look for the elf trying to blend in with the snowman decorations.
- Reward: $10,000 and the “Elven Ears” hat.
Day 4: Bloxy Burgers
Who doesn’t love a burger? The elf certainly does.

- Visual Cue: He is hiding in the corner near the counter or the kitchen entrance.
- Reward: $5,000.
Day 5: The Gym
Time to work off those holiday meals!
- Location: Inside the Gym. Check the treadmills or the weightlifting area.
- Visual Cue: The elf is lifting a tiny weight or running on a treadmill.
- Reward: $12,500.
Day 6: The Campsite
Back to nature, but different from the mountain.
- Location: The Campsite near the river. Look inside the tents.
- Visual Cue: The elf is peeking out of the large tent in the center of the campsite.
- Reward: $8,000.
Day 7: The Observatory
One of the more scenic locations.
- Location: The Observatory. You might need to hike up a bit past the mountain camp.
- Visual Cue: The elf is usually looking through the telescope or standing on the balcony railing.
- Reward: $15,000 and a rare “Starlight Lamp”.
Day 8: The Fine Arts Shop
For the creative Bloxburg players.
- Location: Inside the shop that sells art supplies and musical instruments.
- Visual Cue: Hiding behind the cashier counter or among the mannequins.
- Reward: $6,000.
Day 9: The Hospital
This spot is often overlooked because players don’t visit it daily unless they work there.

Day 10: The Pizza Planet
Similar to Bloxy Burgers but a different vibe.
- Location: Inside the Pizza Planet restaurant.

Pro Tips for Finding the Elf Faster in 2026
Finding the elf is fun, but if you are like me and want the money without the hassle, you need a strategy. I’ve spent hours in Bloxburg, and here are my top tips to optimize your Elf Hunt experience.
1. Use the “Lobby Hop” Technique
Sometimes, the elf might be glitched, or another player is standing right on top of him, making him impossible to see or interact with.
- Strategy: If you go to the location listed above and the elf isn’t there, don’t panic. Simply exit to the menu and join a different server. The elf’s location is consistent across servers, but the “state” of the server (players, glitches) varies. This fixes 90% of “missing elf” issues.
2. Use Vehicle Warnings to Find Him
This is a cool trick I learned from the community.
- Strategy: Drive your car slowly around the general area of the location (e.g., inside the Gym parking lot). If your car starts beeping that “warning” sound (the one that happens when you are about to hit an object), stop and get out. The elf counts as an NPC that you can collide with.
3. Listen for Audio Cues
In recent updates, Coeptus (the developer) added subtle audio cues for events.
- Strategy: Turn your game volume up. When you are very close to the elf, you might hear a faint jingle bell sound or a specific “ho ho ho” whisper. This is incredibly helpful in cluttered areas like the Furniture Store or inside houses.
4. Utilize the “Friend Teleport” Glitch
If you have a friend who has already found the elf:
- Strategy: Ask them to stay near the elf. Use your phone to teleport to them. This saves you the travel time, especially if you are way out at the Mountain and the elf is at the Beach.
Rewards Breakdown & Are They Worth It?
You might be wondering, “Is all this running around really worth it?” Let’s break down the math and the exclusive items for the 2026 event.
Monetary Rewards Across the 12+ days of the hunt, the cumulative cash reward usually exceeds $100,000. For a new player, this is life-changing money for building your first proper house. For a veteran, it’s a nice chunk of change to spend on decorations or vehicle upgrades.
Exclusive Items For me, the real draw is the swag. The Elf Hunt items are typically unique and cannot be bought in the store.
- 2026 Highlights: The “Giant Elf Plushie” and the “Festive Lights” set are highly desirable for decorators.
- Value: These items often become “legacy” items after the event ends. Showing them off in your house is a badge of honor that you played during June 2026.
Comparison to Grinding Let’s compare Elf Hunt rewards to working.
- Pizza Delivery: Roughly $40 per delivery. You’d need 250 deliveries to match the Elf Hunt cash. That takes hours.
- Elf Hunt: Takes maybe 5-10 minutes per day if you know the spot.
- Verdict: The Elf Hunt is the most efficient “money glitch” (legal method) in the game during the holidays. Do not skip it!
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even with a guide, things can go wrong in Roblox. Here is a troubleshooting section based on common issues reported by players on Reddit and Discord during the June 2026 update.
“I can’t find the Elf at the listed location!”
This is the most common issue.
- Fix: First, check if you are in a private server. Sometimes event NPCs don’t spawn correctly in private servers. Try a public server. Second, verify the date. Are you looking for the Day 1 elf on Day 2? The locations change every 24 hours.
“I touched the Elf but didn’t get the reward.”
- Fix: This is usually a lag issue. Wait 30 seconds. If nothing happens, try rejoining the server. The game saves your progress, so you should be able to collect the reward or find it again in the new server.
“The Elf is stuck underground.”
- Fix: This is a known bug in areas with complex terrain like the Mountain or Cave. Unfortunately, you can’t fix this yourself. You must server hop until you find a server where he is spawned correctly on the surface.
FAQ’s
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the event this year.
When does the Elf Hunt 2025 start and end?
The event typically starts in early June and runs until just after New Year’s Day in 2026. You have plenty of time to catch up on missed days, but it’s best to do them daily to get the money as you need it.
Do I need Premium (Gamepass) to participate?
No, the Elf Hunt is free for all players. You do not need the Premium Gamepass, Multiple Floors, or Basement pass to find the elf. All locations are on the main map.
Can I find the elf on another player’s plot?
No. The elf only spawns on public locations (City, Mountain, Beach, etc.). You will never find the elf inside a player’s house.
What happens if I miss a day?
Don’t worry! In most recent iterations of the event, previous days’ elves remain active, or there is a catch-up mechanism at the end of the event. However, to get the daily flow of cash, try to stay consistent.
Is the Elf Hunt returning in 2026?
Yes! The Elf Hunt has become a staple tradition in Welcome to Bloxburg. Based on official teasers from the Coeptus Twitter account, the event is confirmed for this holiday season with new items and locations.
Final Thoughts
The Bloxburg Elf Hunt 2026 is one of the most engaging community events in the game. It gets us out of our houses, exploring the beautiful map the developers have created, and rewards us with useful cash and cool collectibles. I hope this daily guide helps you maximize your efficiency and enjoy the holiday season in Bloxburg to the fullest.
Remember, the key is patience and utilizing the server-hopping trick if things get buggy. Happy hunting, and may your bank account in Bloxburg be merry and bright this June!
