If you’ve been playing Adopt Me on Roblox, you’ve probably heard about the exciting 2D Tuesday event that’s taking the community by storm. I’m here to share everything you need to know about this weekly phenomenon, from exact timing schedules to proven strategies for earning that coveted permanent 2D Kitty. After countless hours participating in this event and researching player experiences, I’ve compiled this ultimate guide to help you maximize your success.
The 2D Tuesday event represents one of the most unique opportunities in Adopt Me’s history. Every single Tuesday, players get access to an exclusive temporary pet that not only looks absolutely adorable but also doubles your earnings. Whether you’re a casual player or a dedicated collector, understanding how this event works is crucial for building your dream pet collection.
The 2D Tuesday event is a recurring weekly event that launched on December 16, 2026, bringing back one of the most beloved pets in Adopt Me history. During this special one-hour window, every player automatically receives a free temporary 2D Kitty that comes with incredible benefits. The event isn’t just about having a cute pet for an hour, it’s about completing challenges to earn exclusive rewards that could permanently change your inventory.
When you participate in the event, you’re essentially getting three amazing benefits simultaneously. First, the temporary 2D Kitty gives you double the Bucks you’d normally earn from activities. Second, you receive double XP, helping you level up faster than ever before. Third, and most importantly, you have the opportunity to complete 20 pet needs within the hour to earn a 2D Box, which contains a chance at obtaining the permanent version of this legendary pet.
| Event Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Every Tuesday |
| Duration | Exactly 1 hour |
| Temporary Pet | Free 2D Kitty (auto-given) |
| Bucks Bonus | 2X normal earnings |
| XP Bonus | 2X normal experience |
| Requirement | Complete 20 pet needs |
| Reward | 2D Box (guaranteed) |
| Ultimate Prize | Permanent 2D Kitty (rare chance) |
Understanding the exact timing of the 2D Tuesday event is absolutely critical because missing even a few minutes can mean the difference between earning your 2D Box or going home empty-handed. The event runs for precisely one hour, and there’s no extension or makeup time available.
The upcoming Adopt Me 2D Tuesday event is scheduled for Tuesday, January 20, 2026, with multiple time slots throughout the day to accommodate players in different regions. Based on official announcements from the Adopt Me team, the event occurs at three specific times:

Missing the event is heartbreaking, especially when you’re this close to earning exclusive rewards. Here’s how I recommend setting up reminders:
Method 1: Official Roblox Event Notification
Method 2: Personal Alarms

Now that you know when to show up, let me walk you through exactly what happens during the event and how to make the most of your one precious hour.
The moment you log into Adopt Me during one of the designated event windows, magic happens. Without doing anything special, a temporary 2D Kitty will automatically appear in your inventory. You’ll see a notification on your screen confirming you’ve received the pet.
This isn’t just any ordinary pet. The temporary 2D Kitty has a distinctive black and white sketched appearance that makes it stand out from every other pet in the game. It looks like it was drawn with a pen on paper, featuring simple black outlines, circular eyes, pointy ears, and whiskers. The flat, 2D design is what gives this pet its unique charm and makes it one of the most recognizable pets in Adopt Me.
As soon as you equip the temporary 2D Kitty, the benefits kick in immediately. Every activity you do in Adopt Me that normally earns you Bucks will now earn you twice as much. The same applies to XP, meaning you’ll level up your pets and yourself at double the normal rate.
Think about what this means practically. If feeding a pet normally gives you 5 Bucks, you’ll now get 10 Bucks. If completing a task gives 20 XP, you’ll receive 40 XP instead. This makes the 2D Tuesday event one of the best times to grind for currency and experience in the entire game.
Here’s where the real challenge begins. To earn your 2D Box, you must complete exactly 20 pet needs using the temporary 2D Kitty within the one-hour time limit. Pet needs are the standard care tasks that appear for all pets in Adopt Me:
Types of Pet Needs:
The needs appear randomly, approximately one every minute or two. This means you theoretically have enough time to complete all 20 needs, but you need to stay active and responsive. If your pet shows a need notification, address it immediately rather than letting it sit.
Once you successfully complete the 20th need, congratulations! You’ve earned your 2D Box for the week. The box will automatically be added to your inventory. You can choose to open it immediately or save it for later, though most players can’t resist the temptation to open it right away.
Remember, you can only earn one 2D Box per week per account. Even if you participate in multiple time slots on the same Tuesday, you’ll only get one box total. This weekly limit makes each box feel special and valuable.
When you open your 2D Box, you’re essentially playing a lottery with predetermined odds. The box contains several possible rewards, but only one will be yours. Here’s what you might receive:
Possible 2D Box Rewards:
| Reward Item | Rarity | Type | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2D Kitty (Permanent) | Legendary | Pet | Very Rare (~2%) |
| 2D Glasses | Common | Pet Wear | Common |
| 2D Top Hat | Common | Pet Wear | Common |
| 2D Pencil Rattle | Common | Toy | Common |
| 2D Bone Chew Toy | Common | Toy | Common |
| 2D Kitty Sticker | Common | Decoration | Common |
The permanent 2D Kitty is what everyone wants, and it’s estimated to have roughly a 2 percent drop rate. This means if you open 50 boxes, you’d statistically expect to get one permanent 2D Kitty. However, RNG (random number generation) means some players get lucky on their first try, while others might need many more attempts.
Let me tell you why the permanent 2D Kitty is such a big deal and why players are willing to participate in this event week after week.
The 2D Kitty originally debuted on April 1, 2021, as part of the April Fools’ Day Update. Back then, it was a one-time event where players could talk to an NPC named Burt to receive this quirky pet. The pet immediately became iconic because it was the only pet in Adopt Me’s entire history to feature a 2D model instead of the standard 3D design.
When the pet was rereleased for the 2D Tuesday event in December 2026, the Adopt Me community went absolutely wild. Players who missed the original event finally had another chance, and those who had the pet from 2021 could now obtain additional copies for neon and mega neon projects.
What the Permanent 2D Kitty Offers:
As of February 2026, the permanent 2D Kitty holds significant trading value. Because it can only be obtained through the 2 percent chance from 2D Boxes, and because players are limited to one box per week, the supply is relatively controlled. This scarcity combined with high demand makes it a valuable trading asset.
In trading channels and communities, the permanent 2D Kitty is often compared to other limited legendary pets. While exact values fluctuate based on market conditions, most traders consider it worth several high-tier pets or a combination of good neon legendaries.
Important Trading Warning: Some dishonest players try to scam others by offering the 2D Kitty sticker and claiming it’s the actual pet. Always verify in the trade window that you’re receiving the legendary pet, not a common decoration item. The pet will have a purple legendary glow and will be listed in the pets section, not the toys or decorations section.
After participating in numerous 2D Tuesday events and talking with successful players, I’ve identified several strategies that significantly improve your chances of completing all 20 needs and getting the most value from the event.
You have exactly 60 minutes from the moment the event starts to complete 20 needs. Here’s how I recommend breaking down your time:
Minute 0-10: Log in immediately when the event starts, equip your temporary 2D Kitty, and complete the first 5-7 needs that appear. Don’t get distracted by trading or chatting.
Minute 10-30: This is your core grinding time. Stay focused on pet needs and complete approximately 10-12 needs during this window. Keep moving between locations to trigger different need types.
Minute 30-50: Complete the final 5-8 needs. If you’re ahead of schedule, you can start being more selective about which needs to prioritize. If you’re behind, focus on quick needs like feeding and watering.
Minute 50-60: This is your buffer time. If you’ve completed all 20 needs early, congratulations! You can now use the remaining time to maximize your double Bucks and XP earnings. If you’re still working on needs, you have these final minutes to finish up.
The type of server you play on can dramatically affect your ability to complete needs quickly. Here’s what I’ve learned:
Public Servers (Recommended):
Private Servers (Not Recommended for This Event):
VIP Servers:
Not all needs are created equal when it comes to completion speed. Here’s my priority ranking:
Fast Needs (Complete Immediately):
Medium Needs (Complete When They Appear):
Special Needs (High Value):
Pro Tip: Sickness needs are particularly valuable because they often count multiple times if your pet has different ailments. When you see the sick notification, rush to the hospital immediately.
Before the event even starts, set yourself up for success with proper inventory management:
Essential Items to Have Ready:
Inventory Organization Tips:
Since the event runs three times per Tuesday, you might wonder if you can participate in multiple sessions. The answer is yes, you can join all three sessions, but you’ll only earn one 2D Box total for the week.
However, participating in multiple sessions still has value:
Benefits of Multiple Sessions:
If you’re serious about grinding Bucks and XP, participating in all three sessions gives you three full hours of double rewards per week, which adds up significantly over time.
Some dedicated players use alternate accounts (alt accounts) to increase their chances of getting the permanent 2D Kitty. While this requires more time investment, it’s a legitimate strategy:
How It Works:
Important Considerations:
This strategy isn’t for everyone, but hardcore collectors swear by it.
Learning from others’ mistakes can save you heartbreak. Here are the most common errors I’ve seen players make during 2D Tuesday events:
Mistake 1: Logging In Late
Mistake 2: Wrong Time Zone
Mistake 3: Assuming You Have More Time
Mistake 4: Getting Distracted
Mistake 5: Ignoring Certain Needs
Mistake 6: Server Hopping
Mistake 7: Poor Inventory Management
Mistake 8: Falling for Scams
Mistake 9: Rage Trading
Mistake 10: Giving Up Too Soon
For players who want to take their 2D Tuesday game to the next level, here are some advanced techniques:
Some expert players have developed speed run strategies to complete all 20 needs in under 30 minutes. Here’s the general framework:
This approach balances need completion with maximizing the double rewards:
Phase 1 (Minutes 0-20): Aggressive need completion, aim for 10 needs Phase 2 (Minutes 20-40): Balanced approach, complete remaining 10 needs while doing high-value activities Phase 3 (Minutes 40-60): All needs done, pure Bucks/XP grinding
Some players prefer a more social approach:
This doesn’t necessarily complete needs faster, but it makes the event more enjoyable and sustainable long-term.
If you’re more interested in trading than using the pet:
Strategy:
Unopened boxes have trading value because they represent potential, and some traders prefer the mystery box approach.
Since the permanent 2D Kitty has such a low drop rate, it’s worth understanding the mathematics behind your chances:
Single Box Probability:
Multiple Box Probability: After opening multiple boxes, your cumulative chance improves:
This means even after opening 50 boxes, there’s still a 36.4% chance you haven’t received the pet. The lesson here is patience and persistence are essential.
Important Note: Each box opening is independent, meaning previous failures don’t increase future success chances. You’re not “due” for a win after several losses. However, over time, probability works in your favor with more attempts.
Depending on what you receive from your 2D Box, here are your best options:
Option 1: Keep It
Option 2: Trade It
Option 3: Start a Neon Project
Option 1: Use Them
Option 2: Trade Them
Option 3: Save Them
To put the 2D Tuesday event in context, let’s compare it to other major Adopt Me events:
Advantages of 2D Tuesday:
Disadvantages Compared to Other Events:
Similar Events:
The 2D Tuesday event sits in a unique position as a recurring, skill-based event with RNG rewards. It’s not as guaranteed as some events, but more frequent than special occasions.
Based on Adopt Me’s pattern of events and developer communications, here’s what we can expect:
Short Term (February–2026):
Medium Term:
Long Term:
Potential Risks:
This uncertainty is why participating now while the event is active is so important. Limited-time events in Adopt Me have a history of not lasting forever, and items from discontinued events become extremely valuable.

The 2D Tuesday event starts at three different times every Tuesday: 12:00 AM PST (midnight), 8:00 AM PST (morning), and 4:00 PM PST (afternoon). Each session lasts exactly one hour. The afternoon session is most popular as it works well for players in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.
No, you can only earn one 2D Box per week per account, regardless of how many sessions you attend. However, you can still participate in all three sessions to take advantage of the double Bucks and XP bonuses, even after earning your weekly box.
The permanent 2D Kitty has approximately a 2 percent drop rate from 2D Boxes, meaning you have roughly a 1 in 50 chance each time you open a box. This makes it quite rare, and most players will need to participate in the event for multiple weeks before obtaining the permanent version.
If you don’t complete all 20 needs within the one-hour time limit, you won’t receive a 2D Box for that week. The temporary 2D Kitty will disappear when the event ends, and you’ll need to try again the following Tuesday. There are no partial rewards for completing fewer than 20 needs.
Yes, the permanent 2D Kitty is fully tradeable once you obtain it from the 2D Box. It can also be aged up, made neon and mega neon, and customized with fly and ride potions just like other pets in Adopt Me.
Yes, you can save your 2D Box in your inventory and open it whenever you want. Some players prefer to accumulate multiple boxes before opening them all at once, while others open immediately. The choice is yours, and saving boxes doesn’t affect the drop rates.
As of February 2026, the developers haven’t announced an end date for the 2D Tuesday event. It’s designed as a recurring weekly event, but like all limited-time events in Adopt Me, it could potentially end in the future. Participate while it’s available to avoid missing out.
The temporary 2D Kitty lasts only for the one-hour event duration and provides 2X Bucks and XP while active. The permanent 2D Kitty stays in your inventory forever, can be aged up, made neon, and customized, but doesn’t provide the earnings boost. Both have the same unique 2D appearance.
No, the temporary 2D Kitty automatically disappears from your inventory when the one-hour event ends. This happens even if you haven’t completed all 20 needs. The only way to keep a 2D Kitty is to obtain the permanent version from a 2D Box.
Trading is the only alternative method to obtain a permanent 2D Kitty besides opening 2D Boxes yourself. You can trade with other players who have obtained the pet and are willing to part with it. However, be prepared to offer significant value, as it’s a rare limited legendary pet.
If someone scams you during a trade, report them immediately using Adopt Me’s reporting system through the trading history book in the Safety Hub on Adoption Island. Also report through Roblox’s official reporting feature. Unfortunately, Adopt Me staff cannot reverse trades, so prevention is key – always verify what you’re receiving before confirming trades.
No! This is a common scam tactic. The 2D Kitty sticker is a common decoration item with no significant value, while the permanent 2D Kitty is a legendary pet. Always check that you’re trading for the actual pet (shown with a purple legendary glow in the pets category) and not the sticker.
The Adopt Me 2D Tuesday event represents one of the most exciting and accessible ways to obtain a truly unique limited legendary pet. Whether you’re a new player just learning about the event or a veteran collector working on your neon projects, participation offers valuable rewards beyond just the permanent pet.
My recommendation is simple: participate every single Tuesday if possible. Even if you don’t get the permanent 2D Kitty immediately, you’re still benefiting from double Bucks and XP.
