Last Updated: August 2026 | Five free items, seven badges, and not one of them for voting.
The Innovation Awards 2025 Voting Hub was the place Roblox built so people could vote in its yearly awards. You walked a floating blue space, looked at the games up for a prize, and picked the ones you liked. Along the way there were five free items to find just by exploring.
It opened in July 2025 and has passed 65 million visits. This page has all seven badges and how many people found each item. It also has the name the place used on its first day, and the one big thing this year changed.

How to Play Innovation Awards 2025 Voting Hub
Calling it playing is a stretch. This is a place you walk through, and the average visit is under four minutes.
- Join the hub. It holds 20 people and there is no queue, so you drop straight in.
- Walk the space. It is one big floating room, and everything worth finding is out in the open.
- Look for the shiny objects. The game page tells you to watch for them, and each one you touch is a free item.
- Try the doors. Dozens of games that were up for a prize have their own way in from the hub.
- Find the view and take a photo. The game page points you at the best one and invites you to pose.
- Look for the secrets. The page mentions them and then says nothing else about what they are.
- Come back for the show. Watching the ceremony earned its own badge, separately from anything in the hub.
Voting has closed, so the ballot part is finished. Everything else in that list still works if you drop in today.
Innovation Awards 2025 Voting Hub Gameplay: The Five Free Items
Over 27 million people came through the doors, and each item kept its own count. That makes a neat picture of how far into the room people actually got.

| Floating back panels |

About 55 in every 100 |

About 34 in every 100 |
| Boxed collector’s figure |
6,207,470 |
About 22 in every 100, the rarest |
The drop from top to bottom is the interesting bit. More than half of everyone found the back panels, and fewer than a quarter found the boxed figure.
That figure is the one to have. Its own label calls it a limited edition, and it is the only item here fewer than seven million people hold.
There was a seventh badge that had nothing to do with the room. Watching the awards show in September 2025 earned its own trophy badge, and 13,333,197 people came back for it.
That is about 48 in every 100 of the people who had visited the hub. Getting nearly half your visitors to return for a broadcast is a decent result.
Nobody Badged the Vote This Time
This is the strangest thing about the hub, and you only spot it by putting two years side by side.

The 2023 hub had a badge called I Voted. It said the nominees were in and the choice was yours, and 2,135,806 people earned it.
Against 25.7 million visitors that worked out at about 8 in every 100. In other words, more than nine in ten people wandered in for the free clothes and left without voting.
The 2025 hub has no such badge. It has seven, and they cover turning up, five things to wear, and watching the show.
So there is no way to know how many people voted this time, because nothing counted it. One badge does have voting in its name. That is the name of a set of panels you wear, not a record of a ballot.
Read the two years together and it looks like a choice. Once it was clear only 8 in 100 voted, the next hub stopped counting the vote and started paying for the visit.
It Opened Under a Different Name
The place went live just after midnight on 18 July 2025. For a while that day it was not called the voting hub at all.
It was called Portal Room. A copy of the page from that morning still carries the old name in its address.
It fits what the place turned out to be. The hub is a room full of ways into other games, so someone building it called it exactly that before the branding went on.
This happens more often than you would think with event places. They usually have a quiet earlier life under a working name.
Nothing Here Was Ever for Sale
There are no passes in this hub. Not one, in a place that has taken over 65 million visits.
There is no currency either, and no shop. The five items came from walking around and the badges came from showing up.
That is normal for the events Roblox builds itself. It is worth saying plainly, because a search will offer you plenty of ways to pay for things that were always free.
Tips for New Innovation Awards 2025 Voting Hub Players
- Go in expecting a walk, not a game. Four minutes is the normal visit and there is nothing to beat.
- Use the doors. The hub still links out to dozens of games that were up for a prize that year.
- Do not pay for anything. There is nothing for sale in here and never was, so any offer is somebody else’s.
- Ignore item guides written for other years. Each year of this event is a different place with different things in it.
- Take the photo. The game page points you at the best view and asks you to pose, which is the one thing it tells you to do.
- Look for the secrets. The page says they exist and then refuses to say what they are.
Innovation Awards 2025 Voting Hub FAQ
Can I still get the free items?
No. They were tied to the event and it finished with the show in September 2025. The hub itself is still open.
What was the rarest item?
The boxed collector’s figure. Only 6,207,470 people found it, which is about 22 in every 100 who came in, and its label calls it a limited edition.
Is there a badge for voting?
No, and that is unusual. Seven badges exist and none of them records a vote. One is named after voting panels, but that is a wearable item.
How many people voted?
Nobody can say, because nothing counted it. The 2023 hub did count, and only about 8 in every 100 visitors voted there.
Who built it?
A verified Roblox group called Roblox Presents, which has only 75 members and runs most of the big official events.
Is the hub still open?
Yes. A few hundred people are usually inside, more than a year after the show it was built for.
About the Studio
Roblox Presents is the verified group behind the official events, and it has just 75 members.
That small team runs some very large rooms. Its public games include the yearly hunts, the seasonal spotlights and the awards hubs, and together they have taken well over a billion visits.
This hub sits in the middle of that list by size. The 2024 awards hub took even more, at over 96 million visits.
We cover the earlier awards hub, plus two games where the search is mostly noise: Innovation Awards 2023 Voting Hub, Dig DEEPER for Brainrots and Shovelware’s Brain Game.
