Updated October 29, 2026: The RIVALSWEEN end date is no longer confirmed. The official Roblox event listing that gave November 7 at 05:00 UTC has been taken down, and Nosniy Games hasn’t posted a new date. The studio’s current listings show a free Spooky Skin Case challenge from October 31 to November 3 and Season 4 on November 14 at 02:00 UTC (Friday, November 13, 9:00 PM ET). There are no new codes: SPOOKYSCARYGARGOYLES and FREE204 are still the newest. Dates and codes checked October 29, 19:55 UTC. For every other game’s deadline, see our Roblox Halloween 2026 end dates list.
The RIVALS Halloween event, RIVALSWEEN, is live now, but its end date is unconfirmed. The official listing that said November 7, 2026 at 05:00 UTC was removed this week, and nothing official has replaced it yet. The event arrived with Update 24 and brings a Candy currency, a daily Spooky Prize Wheel, the brand-new Gargoyle Tower, the returning Zombie Tower and a Spooky Skin Case with 5 new skins. It now has its own Halloween code, SPOOKYSCARYGARGOYLES, and a few regular codes still work too. All of them are listed below.
Everything here comes from Nosniy Games’ official Roblox event listings (the current Free Spooky Skin Case and Season 4 listings, plus an archived copy of the removed RIVALSWEEN listing), the studio’s posts on X, the RIVALS game description on Roblox, and the Update 24 patch notes as copied onto the RIVALS Wiki. Dates and codes checked October 29, 2026, 19:55 UTC (first published October 19).
- Event window: started October 17, 01:00 UTC. The end date is unconfirmed: the November 7, 05:00 UTC listing was gone by October 29. Watch for the in-game countdown.
- Coming up: free Spooky Skin Case challenges from October 31, 04:00 UTC to November 3, 02:00 UTC, then Season 4 on November 14, 02:00 UTC (9:00 PM ET on Friday, November 13).
- What to do first: finish your Daily Tasks. That unlocks the Event Tasks, which pay Candy and a free Spooky Prize Wheel every day.
- Free skins: escape Gargoyle Tower alive and solo for the Towerstone Wildcat. Do the same in Zombie Tower for Towerstone Fists.
- Spend your Candy: it disappears when the event ends and does not carry over. With no confirmed end date, don’t save it for the last week.
- Codes: SPOOKYSCARYGARGOYLES (the Halloween code), FREE204 and COMMUNITY27 are the newest. HAPPYRIVALSWEEN, last year’s Halloween code, is expired.

When does the RIVALS Halloween event end?
Officially, we don’t know right now. When we checked on October 19 and October 24, Nosniy Games’ RIVALSWEEN event listing on Roblox (the one the studio linked in its October 9 post on X) ran from October 17, 01:00 UTC to November 7, 05:00 UTC. By October 29 at 19:51 UTC that listing was gone. It no longer shows up in the Roblox events API for RIVALS, and its event page now sends you to a Roblox error page. Nosniy hasn’t posted a new end date on X, and the game description still only says the Halloween update is “out now”. So November 7 is no longer a confirmed date, and we haven’t found anything official that replaces it.
These are the official signals we do have:
- Free Spooky Skin Case (official listing): “Complete limited-time challenges to earn rewards and a FREE Spooky Skin Case!” It runs from October 31, 04:00 UTC to November 3, 02:00 UTC, so Halloween content is planned through at least November 3. Listing.
- Season 4 (official listing): “SEASON 4 IS COMING. 11/13/26”. It starts November 14 at 02:00 UTC and is listed until December 5. It’s the next update on the schedule, but the listing doesn’t say whether RIVALSWEEN ends when it arrives. Listing.
- Update 24 patch notes: “A countdown will appear when the Spooky Event is about to end!” The in-game countdown is the final word.
- Past years (RIVALS Wiki, fan-run): the 2024 Spooky Event ran October 22 to November 27, 2024, and the 2025 one ran October 24 to December 12, 2025, when the Festive event took over. The wiki still lists November 6, 2026 for this year, which is the US date of the removed listing.
Our advice: spend your Candy before the free case challenges end on November 3 at 02:00 UTC (9:00 PM ET on Monday, November 2), unless the in-game countdown shows a later end. We’ll update this page as soon as Nosniy confirms a date. For every other game’s deadline, see our Roblox Halloween 2026 end dates list.
RIVALS free Spooky Skin Case and Season 4 dates
US clocks go back on November 1, so the first row is in daylight time (EDT/PDT) and the later rows are in standard time (EST/PST). The UK is already on GMT.
| What | UTC | US Eastern | US Pacific | UK |

| Free Spooky Skin Case challenges start | Sat, Oct 31, 04:00 | Sat, Oct 31, 12:00 AM EDT | Fri, Oct 30, 9:00 PM PDT | Sat, Oct 31, 4:00 AM |
| Free Spooky Skin Case challenges end | Tue, Nov 3, 02:00 | Mon, Nov 2, 9:00 PM EST | Mon, Nov 2, 6:00 PM PST | Tue, Nov 3, 2:00 AM |
| Original RIVALSWEEN end (listing removed, unconfirmed) | Sat, Nov 7, 05:00 | Sat, Nov 7, 12:00 AM EST | Fri, Nov 6, 9:00 PM PST | Sat, Nov 7, 5:00 AM |
| Season 4 starts | Sat, Nov 14, 02:00 | Fri, Nov 13, 9:00 PM EST | Fri, Nov 13, 6:00 PM PST | Sat, Nov 14, 2:00 AM |
The Season 4 listing’s tagline promises a “brand new season, new battlepass, rank reset, exlcusive rewards, ranked improvements” (Nosniy’s spelling). It doesn’t list new weapons or skins yet.
RIVALS is still one of the busiest games on Roblox. About 147,500 people were playing at 19:25 UTC on October 19, when it was No. 6 on the live chart. By October 24 at 16:00 UTC the Roblox games API showed almost 253,000 players, with the Saturday crowd online, and on Thursday, October 29 at 19:51 UTC it showed about 152,400. Its Roblox title now carries a pumpkin tag: “[🎃] RIVALS”.
How to get Candy fast in RIVALS
Candy is the event currency. You spend it in the Shop on limited Halloween items. Here’s the order that gets you the most Candy for your time, based on how the patch notes describe the event:
- Do today’s Daily Tasks. Event Tasks stay locked until you finish them.
- Clear your Event Tasks. They pay Candy, and one of them gives a bonus Spooky Prize Wheel every day.
- Use the Candy Rush. Every day you get a free x5 Candy boost until you’ve earned 200 Candy. You keep earning after that, just at the normal rate.
- Come back tomorrow. Because the boost resets daily, a short session every day beats one long grind on the weekend.
- Spend everything early. Unspent Candy is deleted when the event ends, and the end date is unconfirmed right now (see above). Aim to be done by November 3.
You can also buy Candy Bundles for Robux, and the Legendary Candy Bundle comes with a bonus Mythical Shadow Wildcat skin. Bundle sizes and prices differ between sources, so check your own Shop before you buy. Everything in the towers and the daily wheel is free.

Gargoyle Tower and Zombie Tower rewards
Gargoyle Tower is the second monster-tower challenge in RIVALS and has its own mode on the Play page. You climb with your squad (or alone) and escape by helicopter at the top. According to the RIVALS Wiki, it has 17 floors, with a Gargoyle boss on floor 10 and an Acidic Gargoyle final boss on floor 17. You start with a Handgun, Revolver or Shorty and pick up other weapons from defeated monsters.
The original Zombie Tower is back too, almost unchanged. The patch notes list four changes: a new solo reward, weapon drops that you now pick up with a prompt instead of by touching them, a new spot for Chombies, and a single Grim Reaper that hunts anyone who falls behind the group (it replaces the old 50 Reapers).
| Tower | Escape (dead or alive) | Escape alive | Escape alive, solo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gargoyle Tower (new) | Gargoyle Head charm | Conduction wrap | Towerstone Wildcat skin |
| Zombie Tower (returning) | Chombie Head charm | Zombie wrap | Towerstone Fists skin |
Tip: the Towerstone skins are the hardest rewards in the event, because you have to clear a whole tower by yourself without dying. Run each tower with friends first to learn the floors, and save your solo attempts for when you know the boss fights.
RIVALS Halloween skins: Spooky Skin Case, Haunted Chest and Prize Wheel
The Spooky Skin Case is back with 5 new skins, and the Haunted Chest adds 1 new emote. Rarities come from the RIVALS Wiki, which counts 49 skins in the case in total.
| New item | Where to get it | Weapon | Rarity (wiki) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Shooters | Spooky Skin Case | Grappler | Legendary |
| Jeremiah | Spooky Skin Case | Maul | Legendary |
| Mimic Wildcat | Spooky Skin Case | Wildcat | Legendary |
| Xenofrost | Spooky Skin Case | Permafrost | Rare |
| Gravelight | Spooky Skin Case | Spear | Common |
| Candy Dance | Haunted Chest | Emote | – |
| Spider Crossbow, Red Moon | Spooky Prize Wheel | Crossbow (Spider Crossbow); Red Moon not stated | – |
The wiki lists the Haunted Chest at 30 Candy, so it’s one of the main things to spend your Candy on. The patch notes don’t give odds for the Spooky Prize Wheel. The Machete skin for the Knife is now Legendary with new animations, and you can still get it from the Spooky Skin Case.
The Shop also sells new limited Halloween cosmetics: Jerm, Brewery, Acid Splash, Zombie Walk and Cursed Daggers, plus two new wraps on the Shop’s Home page, Nightmare and Ravensoul. The paid Bat Bundle has 8 exclusive items (Batblade, Slingshotula, Karambat, Batnade, Bat Wing, Bat Flock, Become Bat and Take Flight).
Two free charms work differently. You get the Incublox charm by eliminating the creator @IncubatorTV in a match, and the RODNY charm by eliminating @RODNY_ROBLOX.

RIVALS codes for October 2026, including the Halloween code
The 2026 Halloween code is SPOOKYSCARYGARGOYLES. Nosniy Games posted it on X on October 23 at 18:31 UTC, typed in lowercase as “code: spookyscarygargoyles”, and hasn’t posted another code since (checked October 29, 19:50 UTC). The official post doesn’t name the reward, and the lists disagree: the RIVALS Wiki code page says 1 Spooky Prize Wheel, while Destructoid and TechWiser say 3 Keys. Nosniy’s launch post on October 17 gave COMMUNITY27. Last year’s Halloween code, HAPPYRIVALSWEEN (250 Candy), is still expired.
For the other codes we compared the RIVALS Wiki (last edited October 28, 10:32 UTC), Destructoid (updated October 29, 10:17 UTC), TechWiser (October 24, 20:46 UTC), Beebom (October 17) and PC Gamer (October 12). All three lists updated since October 24 still have FREE204 as the newest lobby code. Checked October 29, 19:50 UTC.
| Code | Reward | Lists showing it active |
|---|---|---|
| SPOOKYSCARYGARGOYLES (Halloween) | 1 Spooky Prize Wheel (wiki) or 3 Keys (Destructoid, TechWiser) | Official: Nosniy Games on X, Oct 23; 3 of 3 lists updated since Oct 24 |
| FREE204 | 3 Keys | 3 of 3 lists updated since Oct 24 (wiki, Destructoid, TechWiser) |
| COMMUNITY27 | 1 Community Wrap (random weapon) | Official: Nosniy Games launch post, Oct 17; 4 of 4 lists updated since Oct 17 |
| ROBLOX_RTC | 5 Keys | 5 of 5 |
| BONUS | 1 Key | 5 of 5 |
| BOOST | 1 Key | 5 of 5 |
Codes the lists disagree on: BACK2BACK (RIA26 Best Shooter charm) and NOSNIYGAMESONTOP (RIA26 Best Studio emote) were limited-time codes from Update 23 in September. Destructoid, TechWiser, Beebom and PC Gamer still list them as active, but the wiki marks them expired. Destructoid and TechWiser also still show FREE203, FREE202 and older FREE codes as active, while the wiki lists everything up to FREE203 as expired. They’re worth trying, but don’t be surprised if they fail. ELBILLUG is a joke code (“gullible” spelled backwards) that gives you nothing.
The FREE codes change often. According to the wiki, the code board in the RIVALS lobby shows a new FREE code each time the game reaches another 50,000 likes, and the number goes up by one each time. So the board in your own lobby is always the newest source.
How to redeem RIVALS codes
- Like the RIVALS experience and join the Nosniy Games community on Roblox.
- Follow the developers @Nosniy and @SenseiWarrior on Roblox. The wiki says codes only redeem while you follow at least one of them.
- Open the Shop in the lobby and press the Reward button, then tap verify where it asks.
- Type the code exactly and press Redeem.
Never enter your password or “free Robux” offers on outside sites to get RIVALS rewards. Real codes only go into the box inside the game.
Update 24 balance changes
Five weapons were buffed or tweaked alongside the event. The numbers below are from the patch notes.
| Weapon | Change |
|---|---|
| Grenade Launcher | Damage 40 to 45, crit 80 to 90, faster projectiles (90 to 100 studs/s), bigger hitbox (0.75 to 0.85), reload 3.2s to 2.5s |
| Revolver | Quick Shot spread 10° to 7° |
| Shorty | Damage 7.5×10 to 8×10, crit 11.25×10 to 12×10 |
| Spear | Equip cooldown 1.25s to 0.6s, throw damage 25 to 30 (crit 50 to 60), throw radius 0 to 0.5 studs |
| Warpstone | Hitbox 4 studs to 0.25 studs, so you can warp through tighter gaps |
The Shorty and Revolver changes matter in the towers too, because they’re two of the three starting weapons in Gargoyle Tower.
