99 Nights in the Forest codes, checked October 28, 2026 at 12:00 UTC: three codes work right now. awardwinner_yay, forestwakesup26 and afterparty give 45 Diamonds in total, plus a handful of random Flames. There is still no Halloween 2026 code. The next big thing is the Hedge Maze Refresh, which Grandma’s Favourite Games has listed on Roblox for Saturday, October 31 at 17:00 UTC.
Below: the dated code table with which lists agree on each code, the disputed chat code, how to redeem, the full Halloween 2026 schedule from the official event listings, and what to do first so you’re ready when the maze opens.
Table of Contents
Quick answer
- Working codes (3): awardwinner_yay, forestwakesup26, afterparty. Each one shows as active on at least three dated code lists.
- Disputed (1): yay fishing, a 2 Diamond code you type in chat while fishing. Some lists say it works and others say it has expired.
- Expired: happyhalloween (10 Candy, from Halloween 2025).
- Halloween 2026 code: none yet. The developer hasn’t put any code in the game description, the group description or the event listings.
- Hedge Maze Refresh: starts Oct 31, 17:00 UTC (1 PM EDT, 10 AM PDT, 5 PM UK). The listing runs until Nov 7, 10:30 UTC.
- Do this first: redeem the three codes, finish The Hollow 2026 badge while its listing is still up (until Oct 31, 10:45 UTC), then get ready for the Carnival.
All 99 Nights in the Forest codes (October 2026)
Grandma’s Favourite Games is a three-person studio from New Zealand, according to its Roblox group. It shares new codes on its Discord rather than in the game description, so we cross-checked the dated code trackers. A code is marked Working only when at least two lists dated this month agree on it. Every code works once per account.
| Code | Reward | Status (Oct 28, 12:00 UTC) | Listed as active by |
|---|---|---|---|
| awardwinner_yay | 15 Diamonds + 3 random Flames | Working | Roblox Den (checked in game Oct 28, 02:05 UTC), Destructoid (Oct 26), Samlover (Oct 18), Beebom (Oct 8) |
| forestwakesup26 | 15 Diamonds + 3 random Flames | Working | Roblox Den, Destructoid, Samlover, Beebom, PC Gamer (Oct 12) |
| afterparty | 15 Diamonds | Working | Roblox Den, Destructoid, Samlover, Beebom, PC Gamer |
| yay fishing | 2 Diamonds (type it in chat while fishing) | Disputed | Active on Roblox Den, Samlover and PC Gamer. Expired on Destructoid (Oct 26) and AllThingsHow |
| happyhalloween | 10 Candy | Expired | Expired on Destructoid, Beebom and PC Gamer. Roblox Den marks it “check” |
Why the Flames differ: the lists agree on the Diamonds but not on which Flames you get. AllThingsHow lists Frog, Thanksgiving and Fairy Flames for awardwinner_yay. Destructoid lists Thanksgiving, Halloween and Meteor Flames for forestwakesup26. Roblox Den says forestwakesup26 now gives Offerings. Samlover and the community wiki simply say “3 random Flames”, and that’s the safest reading. The code names are clues to where they came from. forestwakesup26 matches “The Forest Wakes Up” update listing from June 13. awardwinner_yay matches the studio’s 2x Diamond Weekend on September 19, which celebrated the game winning “Best Survival Game” at the Roblox Innovation Awards 2026.
How to use the yay fishing code
This one doesn’t go in the Codes menu. According to PC Gamer and the community wiki, you start a match, upgrade the campfire to level 2, take an Old Rod from the Fishing Shack and start fishing. Then you open the chat and type yay fishing. If it still works for you, 2 Diamonds fall from the sky. It only works once, and it doesn’t work for players who don’t have chat.
How to redeem 99 Nights in the Forest codes
- Launch 99 Nights in the Forest and stay in the lobby. PC Gamer notes that the Codes menu isn’t available during a match.
- Press the Diamonds (gems) button in the bottom-left corner to open the currency shop.
- Press Codes.
- Copy and paste a code exactly as written, including the underscores, and press Submit.
If a code fails, look for a stray space first. Codes with no end date can stop working at any time, so redeem them now. Diamonds buy classes in the Daily Class Shop, which is the main reason to collect them.
What Flames do (and why to save one for the maze)
According to the community wiki, there are 13 types of Flames. Each one guarantees a specific event or effect in your run, and you can light up to three on the campfire in one session. Use them early, because a Flame that changes the map does nothing once that part of the map is discovered. You can also get Flames from the Sketchy Salesman and from tiers 2 and 3 of the Daily Quests.
| Flame | Effect (community wiki) | Useful for |
|---|---|---|
| Halloween Carnival Flame | Guarantees the Halloween Carnival on Night 3 | Getting into the Hedge Maze |
| Meteor Flame | Guarantees the Meteor Shower on day 3 | Obsidiron gear |
| Alien Flame | Guarantees the Alien Invasion on day 3 | Laser weapons |
| Blue Flame | Reduces campfire drain during weather events | Long runs |
99 Nights in the Forest Hedge Maze Refresh: start time
The official Hedge Maze Refresh listing went up on October 27. Its subtitle is “new hedge maze” and the whole description reads: “Gonna be spookier and scarier and better.” When we checked, 55,931 players had marked themselves as going.

| Region | Hedge Maze Refresh start |
|---|---|
| UTC | Saturday, Oct 31, 17:00 |
| US East (EDT) | Saturday, Oct 31, 1:00 PM |
| US West (PDT) | Saturday, Oct 31, 10:00 AM |
| UK (GMT) | Saturday, Oct 31, 5:00 PM |
| Central Europe (CET) | Saturday, Oct 31, 6:00 PM |
| India (IST) | Saturday, Oct 31, 10:30 PM |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Sunday, Nov 1, 4:00 AM |
| New Zealand (NZDT) | Sunday, Nov 1, 6:00 AM |
The listing ends on November 7 at 10:30 UTC. Treat that as the end of the update’s spotlight week, not a confirmed removal date. In 2025, the maze listing also ran for one week (Nov 1 to Nov 8), and the next update didn’t land until Nov 15.
How the Hedge Maze worked in 2025 (what’s being refreshed)
The Hedge Maze first came to the game as the final week of Halloween 2025. The November 1, 2025 listing said the carnival was coming: “Complete the machines to unlock the hedge maze. Inside is candy and new prizes.” The developer hasn’t said what the 2026 refresh changes, so these are the 2025 rules from the community wiki. Expect the layout and prizes to change.
- Getting in: the Carnival event spawns in level 3-4 campfire areas on day 3. During Part III of Halloween 2025 it was guaranteed. Outside that week, the Halloween Carnival Flame guarantees it.
- The three booths: Ring Toss (land 3 rings on bottles), Hoop Shot (sink the Carnival Basketball) and the Shooting Gallery (hit 5 moving targets with the Air Rifle: Bear, Cultist, Ram, Owl and Deer). Each booth gives one Carnival Ticket, and you need all 3 to open the maze.
- Inside: 4 Spooky Chests at dead ends, a Vampire Chest at the end, plots with Glowing Pumpkins, a costume closet and the Vampire House, which you can trick-or-treat. The wiki counts at least 19 Candy from the chests and the Vampire House.
- Dangers: wolves wait in the maze as traps. If you go in at or near nightfall, the Deer can spawn inside, so go in during the day.
99 Nights in the Forest Halloween 2026 schedule
Every date below comes from the developer’s own Roblox event listings. Times are in UTC.
| Update | Listing window (UTC) | What the listing says |

| Hedge Maze Refresh | Oct 31, 17:00 to Nov 7, 10:30 | “Gonna be spookier and scarier and better” |
For comparison, Halloween 2025 went Trick or Treat (Oct 18), Potion Making (Oct 25), The Hedge Maze (Nov 1) and then “THE DEER IS HURT” (Nov 15).
The Hollow 2026 badge: finish it before the maze
99 Nights is one of the games in Roblox’s platform-wide Hollow event. For the full list of games and free items, see our Roblox The Hollow event guide. The game’s official badge text sets out the quest: get the campfire to level 3, find the entrance to the void in zone 3, go in and collect all the flowers. Lanterns are safe zones, and dying inside only teleports you out. The Roblox badge API shows that 2,249,791 players had earned it by our check, about 382,000 of them in the last day.

A harder bonus badge, Omnipotence, appeared on October 25. You complete The Hollow on your first attempt in a server without entering a lantern area (apart from 15 seconds in the first one) while collecting at least half the flowers. Only 6,133 players had it when we checked. The badge text says it isn’t part of The Hollow event, so skip it if you only want the event reward. ProGameGuides reports that the Hollow reward, a Deer Skull Chain, is claimed at the 99 Nights portal pedestal in the Hollow hub. For the hub’s own floors, see The Hollow floor puzzles 1-6.
What to do first (checklist)
- Now: redeem awardwinner_yay, forestwakesup26 and afterparty in the lobby (45 Diamonds and up to 6 Flames).
- Before Oct 31, 10:45 UTC: finish The Hollow 2026 badge (campfire level 3, void, all flowers). That’s when the game’s Hollow listing closes. Roblox’s own deadline for Hollow rewards is later, but don’t leave it to the last minute.
- Keep a Halloween Carnival Flame if you have one. If the 2026 refresh doesn’t guarantee the Carnival the way 2025’s Part III did, it guarantees the Carnival on Night 3.
- Oct 31, 17:00 UTC: join a fresh server, since updates usually need a new server. Rush the campfire to level 3, win all three Carnival booths on day 3 and go into the maze in daylight.
- Bring a weapon. In 2025, wolves waited inside the maze.
