Blons is based on a [https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/ecql3e/people_forced_me_to_do_this/ joke submission] called "The Slons Map", created by Reddit user u/Slonsss, for an official [https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/eckar3/map_competition_to_celebrate_50k_members/ map designing competition] that was hosted on Reddit in 2019. In response, a [[Ninja Kiwi]] developer, Rohan Sharpe-Anforth, created a video of The Slons Map being played in a modified build of ''Bloons TD 6'', using the concept image as the map's background art.<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjSzKCe_BrU|title=the slons map|publisher=YouTube|author=Rohan Sharpe Anforth|retrieved=1 apr 2025}}</ref>

On 1 April 2020, a Ninja Kiwi community manager, Sam, submitted a post to the official subreddit claiming that The Slons Map was added to ''Bloons TD 6'' and could be played with the custom challenge code <code>ZMKKRAB</code>.<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/ft1fit/slons_map_is_now_available_to_play/|quote=As a small treat to tide you over until the next update drops, Slons map has found its way into Bloons TD 6! Play it now by using the custom challenge code ZMKKRAB and let us know how far you get :D|title=SLONS MAP IS NOW AVAILABLE TO PLAY!|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=1 apr 2025}}</ref> In reality, the game ~~had not been updated to add it~~ and the challenge was played on [[Ouch|#Ouch]]. As part of the hoax, the submission included a screenshot of map, which looks very similar to Blons, except without the water or pigeons.

Blons was eventually added to ''Bloons TD 6'' in {{BTD6 version|24.0}}, but was not mentioned in the official update notes.

It was later used in the Daily Challenge for 1 April 2021, a few weeks after the update released.
