Murder Mystery 2 represents the 2014 stop on Roblox's 20th anniversary event timeline, and it's one of the more forgiving challenges in the entire Hunt. Two objectives stand between you and Knife-Dodger's Bighead: a short hub race and a 50-coin grind across standard MM2 rounds. Neither requires winning a match or landing a single kill.
How do you start the MM2 2014 Hunt challenge?
Before you even load into Murder Mystery 2, the 2014 area of The Hunt: Roblox 20 hub has its own mini-objective to clear. Find the quest NPC in the 2014 zone and interact with them to kick off a sprint around the hub map.
The course has yellow-striped sections scattered along the route. Run through every one you can find since they act as speed boosts that cut your lap time significantly. Follow the path back around to the NPC's starting position, then talk to them again to confirm completion.
With the hub race done, the Murder Mystery 2 portion of the 2014 challenge unlocks.
How to collect 50 coins in Murder Mystery 2
Join any standard MM2 round and start picking up coins. They spawn as collectible pickups on the ground throughout each map, and walking directly into them registers the collection automatically. Your Hunt event counter tracks the total across every round, so there's no pressure to hit 50 in a single session.
Here's the key constraint to plan around: the per-round coin cap is 40. No matter how aggressively you sweep the map, a single standard round will not push you past 40 coins. That means the absolute minimum is two rounds to reach 50, and most players finish in two to three rounds.

Your role assignment doesn't affect eligibility. Playing as Innocent gives you the most time on your feet, which naturally translates to more ground covered. If you're assigned Murderer, eliminating other players reduces competition for coin pickups, though this is far from required.
Does the Elite gamepass help with the coin objective?
The Elite gamepass expands your coin bag size, which can let you collect enough coins to finish the entire 50-coin objective within a single round rather than two or three. It is not required at all. Two normal rounds without any gamepass clears the objective comfortably, so don't feel pressured to spend anything to complete this challenge.
What happens when you reach 50 coins?
The Roblox 20 Quest badge for Murder Mystery 2 unlocks automatically once your counter hits 50. Give the game a moment to register the completion before leaving the server, especially if the badge doesn't appear right away after the round ends.
Once the badge shows up in your inventory, head back to The Hunt: Roblox 20 hub and navigate to the 2014 checkpoint. Claim Knife-Dodger's Bighead from there, then press the white cube on the right side of the checkpoint to advance toward the 2015 era.

Why can't you claim the UGC after earning the badge?
The Hunt: Roblox 20 runs on strict chronological progression. If the 2014 reward is locked even after you've earned the MM2 badge, earlier eras haven't been fully cleared yet. The path leading up to Murder Mystery 2 runs through Crossroads, Sword Fights on the Heights IV, Rocket Arena, Chaos Canyon, Work at a Pizza Place, Natural Disaster Survival, Base Wars, and Apocalypse Rising 2. All of those need to be completed before the 2014 checkpoint opens for redemption.

What is the MM2 Retro Bundle?
The Retro Bundle arrived alongside the anniversary event content but has no connection to the free Hunt reward. You do not need it to finish the quest or unlock Knife-Dodger's Bighead. The bundle contains seven weapons styled after classic MM2 designs:
- Golden Knife
- Cowboy Knife
- Laser Knife
- Phaser Knife
- Shadow Gun
- Prince Gun
- Ghost Gun
These are Retro versions inspired by classic MM2 weapons, not the original Vintage items that share their names. Worth keeping that distinction in mind if you're checking your inventory or browsing trades.
What about the returning 2014 maps?
The anniversary update brought back 2014 Hotel, 2014 Office, and 2014 Hospital as playable maps in MM2. These recreate older versions of familiar locations and fit the event's 2014 theme. None of the three maps is individually required for the Hunt quest. The only thing that matters for the objective is your cumulative coin total, so keep collecting regardless of which map the game loads.
The MM2 badge counts as 1 of 20 required badges for the full Hunt: Roblox 20 event. Completing all 20 eras unlocks tiered free UGC items from the main hub. If you want to see every free item available across all participating games, the full UGC items guide for The Hunt: Roblox 20 has every quest step laid out. After wrapping up 2014, the next stop is the 2015 Lumber Tycoon 2 challenge.
