Welcome to Bloxburg Elf Locations: Complete Elf Hunt Guide and Rewards
Track down every elf in Welcome to Bloxburg with our 2023 location snapshot, reward breakdowns, and tips for finishing each daily Elf Hunt spawn.
How the Elf Hunt Works in Welcome to Bloxburg
Knowing the Welcome to Bloxburg elf locations turns a scavenger hunt into a routine. During an Elf Hunt, NPC elves spawn across the map one at a time, each on its own day, and every elf asks for a specific food or drink before it hands over a payout. Miss the 24-hour window after a spawn and the reward shrinks. That single mechanic is why players who track the Welcome to Bloxburg elf locations early in the day consistently earn more than those who wander the map guessing.
According to the Welcome to Bloxburg Wiki's Elves page, the event places 16 elves around the map, spawning one by one each day, so a complete run stretches across roughly two and a half weeks of daily check-ins.
Starting the hunt
In the 2023 version of the event, the hunt did not begin on its own. Per The Nerd Stash's 2023 elf location guide, you first had to bring the Elder Elf a Regular Cookie while he waited near City Hall. Only after that interaction could you begin searching for the elves โ and the only way to earn a reward was to have the exact item an individual elf wanted.
Order, visibility, and elf types
A few rules matter more than raw map knowledge:
- Order is mandatory. The wiki notes that elves must be found and given their items in sequence; skipping ahead means the next elf will not appear.
- Elves are proximity-based. They are only visible when you get close enough to a spawn point, and they announce themselves with a sparkle sound and red smoke.
- Wrong items get rejected. Hand over the wrong food and the elf plays a "No" sound.
- Two elf types exist. Regular elves resemble a standard noob in a red shirt and elf hat. Mischievous elves, added in Version 0.12.2 during the 2023 Elf Hunt, are red with an angry face and prank you for wrong answers โ the wiki records that the 2023 eleventh elf would draw silly marker on your avatar's face.
In the 2025 Elf Hunt, wrong-item responses became chatty. The wiki lists lines such as "Ooohโฆ that's fun, but not the thingy I need!" and "Nice try! But that's not my special somethin'."
Welcome to Bloxburg Elf Locations: The 2023 Snapshot
The most detailed published list comes from The Nerd Stash, which covered elves 1 through 15 in its 2023 guide. That page now carries a notice that it is over two years old and may contain outdated information, so treat the table below as a 2023 snapshot, not a live map. Later hunts have shifted, added, and reordered spawns.
| Elf | Area | Where to Look | Item Wanted |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | City Hall | On top of the trees next to City Hall, behind the Elder Elf | Holiday Cookie |
| 2nd | Campsite | Warming up by the campfire as you arrive | S'more |
| 3rd | Ferris Wheel | Up the ramp between the two wheels, on the beach east of Blox Burgers | Regular Cookie |
| 4th | Campsite Area | Hanging upside down in the trees just past the Campsite | Holiday Cookie |
| 5th | Beach | Follow the shoreline past the lifeguard lookout until you reach the wall | Water |
| 6th | Parking Garage | Left of Pizza Planet and Mike's Motors; up the first ramp, then right to the corner | Festive Fudge |
| 7th | Blox Burger | Order a burger, exit through the white door on the right, then the next right into the bathroom | Blox Burger |
| 8th | Observatory | Through the tunnel at the edge of the Riverside map; hidden behind the giant sun model | Snowman Festive Cake Pop |
| 9th | Sledding Shack | Stay on the highway toward the Campsite; the elf is in a corner inside the hut | Rice Pudding (entire container) |
| 10th | Bloxburg Gym | Left of the Advent Calendar by City Hall; in the yoga room beneath the stacked mats | Super Smoothie |
| 11th | Christmas Tree | Climb the tree in front of City Hall to the top of the star | Holiday Tree Brownie |
| 12th | Observatory | Take the mountain path to the hand gliders and land on the roof | Mince Pie |
| 13th | Fancy Furniture | Next to Pizza Planet, inside the white bookshelf on the right | Gingerbread Hot Chocolate |
| 14th | Underwater | Dive beneath the bridge near Blox Burger | Fish Sticks |

One gap is worth flagging: the wiki describes a 16-elf event, while this published table stops at 15. The outlet stated it would keep updating as new elves were added, so the missing entry was likely added after publication.
What Player Reports Show for Later Elves
Because the Welcome to Bloxburg elf locations rotate, community walkthroughs are often the fastest way to confirm a new spawn. In one YouTube short documenting day 15 of a hunt, the creator's route is simple: bike to the Bloxburg Central bus stop, teleport to Starlight Observatory, head inside to the moon room, and the elf appears. The item described in the video sounds like a holiday pudding or pie, and the creator mentions a payout of 250 โ though the narration is imprecise about the currency.
Treat that as player experience rather than confirmed data. The wiki's documented on-time reward for the 2024โ2025 hunts is $2,000 or T$250 in Winter Tickets, which makes the video's "250" plausible but not independently verified in the clip.
Rewards for Finding Elves in Welcome to Bloxburg
Rewards have shifted over the years, and the biggest change came in 2024, when some elves began handing out Winter Tickets alongside cash.
| Elf Hunt Years | On-Time Reward (within 24 hours) | Late Reward (after 24 hours) |
|---|---|---|
| 2020โ2023 | $2,500 | $1,000 |
| 2024โ2025 | $2,000 or T$250 | $1,000 or T$125 |
Source: Welcome to Bloxburg Wiki, Elves page, captured October 12, 2026. Values describe historical event tiers, not a live payout.
The takeaway is straightforward: the on-time bonus is roughly double the late payout, so logging in on the day an elf spawns is always worth the trip.
Tips for a Faster Elf Hunt
- Learn the item list before you travel. The Nerd Stash guide recommends checking what each elf wants first, which prevents repeated cross-town trips.
- Keep required foods stocked. Cookies, s'mores, fudge, and specialty drinks all come up โ running home mid-route wastes the 24-hour window.
- Work in order. Out-of-sequence attempts simply won't spawn the next elf.
- Watch for posters. The wiki notes that Elf Hunt posters sometimes appear near elf spawn points, acting as a soft hint.
- Sweep interiors and rooftops. Recent spawns have hidden inside bathrooms, gyms, furniture stores, and on observatory roofs, not just open streets.
- Check the official listing. The official Welcome to Bloxburg page on Roblox confirms event availability and version updates before you commit an evening to hunting.
