The Hollow is Roblox’s official Halloween 2026 event, and it’s live right now. It opened on October 22 at 2 PM PT (21:00 UTC) in its own experience from Roblox Presents. Every day a new monster from a famous Roblox horror game joins a survival maze, creators play live inside it, and quests in the hub and in dozens of other games earn free avatar items. A live finale starts on the morning of October 31, and you can keep collecting rewards until noon PST on November 2 (20:00 UTC), according to Roblox’s newsroom.
This guide puts the official facts in one place: how the event works, every participating game on Roblox’s own poster, the free items and how each one is earned, and the full creator livestream schedule in UTC, ET and PT. Everything was checked on October 23, 2026 at 14:45 UTC against Roblox’s newsroom, the experience page, Roblox’s official X account and the official event listings.

Quick answer
- Where: the The Hollow experience by Roblox Presents. About 81,000 people were playing at 14:45 UTC on Oct 23 (26.8 million visits).
- When: opened Oct 22 at 2 PM PT, maze started at 3 PM PT. Live finale on Oct 31. Rewards can be claimed until Nov 2, 12:00 PM PST (20:00 UTC, 3:00 PM EST).
- How it works: nine nights, nine monsters. Each day the hub adds a new maze with a new monster. You find clues, solve a puzzle and get out alive to earn that night’s reward.
- Free items: nine official reward badges exist in the hub right now. They line up with nine Roblox-made avatar items, including Lord Umberhallow BLOXikin, All-Seeking Antlers and The Beasthammer.
- Other games: Roblox’s poster lists 9 “Nightly Haunts”, 9 “Roaming the Hollow” games and 21 “Outskirts” side-quest games.
- Livestreams: nine 30-minute creator streams from Oct 23 to Oct 31. The next one is Seek with NO_DATA, today at 18:00 UTC (2 PM ET, 11 AM PT).
- No codes. Roblox has posted no Hollow codes. Sites that promise codes or free items for the event are scams.

How The Hollow event works
Roblox describes it as “one survival game, nine days.” Each day, players entering the event hub find a new maze to get through while hunting for clues and running from monsters. The hub gets creepier as the event goes on, and a new monster enters the game every day. Quests completed in the hub earn exclusive UGC items and rewards “that can help them survive another night,” the newsroom post says.
The experience’s own description sets the tone (“We are asking you not to go in”), then gets to the facts: other games are connected to The Hollow, “anything you find is yours to keep,” and you earn avatar items by completing event quests “here and in participating experiences.”
What to do first on Night 1
Two guides and the community-run Roblox Wiki describe the first floor the same way (Game Geek Fusion, GamesRadar+, Roblox Wiki):
- Join The Hollow and follow the arrow to the back of the lobby. Take the elevator to Floor 1.
- Find five purple puzzle pieces in the maze while Seek from DOORS hunts you.
- Bring the pieces to the puzzle room behind the blue barrier and solve the line-connecting puzzle (link the start node to the end node).
- Head back through the blue-barrier corridor to the elevator to finish the floor.
- Your reward: the Lord Umberhallow BLOXikin badge and the matching shoulder item.
Tips from the same guides: the puzzle room and the elevator room are safe zones that Seek can’t enter, and if you get caught you start the run again. The wiki adds that pieces you’ve already placed in the puzzle room stay there, so drop them off as you find them.
Missed a night? You can catch up
You don’t have to play every single day. Roblox says rewards can be collected until noon PST on November 2, and GamesRadar+ reports that each night has its own floor in the theater, so you can go back and finish older nights later.
The nine monsters and the livestream schedule
Roblox named all nine monsters and the games they come from. The official events list on The Hollow’s Roblox page has nine livestream listings, each 30 minutes long, pairing a monster with a creator. The night order that GamesRadar+ reports (Seek on Day 1, Twisted Dandy on Day 2 and so on) matches the order of these listings.
| # | Monster (home game) | Creator live | UTC | ET (EDT) | PT (PDT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seek (DOORS) | NO_DATA | Fri Oct 23, 18:00 | 2:00 PM | 11:00 AM |
| 2 | Twisted Dandy (Dandy’s World) | LimaMosca | Sat Oct 24, 23:00 | 7:00 PM | 4:00 PM |
| 3 | Biter (Demonology) | VanilBean + Kreative Kyle | Sun Oct 25, 15:00 | 11:00 AM | 8:00 AM |
| 4 | The Deer (99 Nights in the Forest) | Bundun | Mon Oct 26, 22:00 | 6:00 PM | 3:00 PM |
| 5 | Hiachi (The Mimic) | Kim Left Arm | Tue Oct 27, 12:00 | 8:00 AM | 5:00 AM |
| 6 | Mimic (Animal Hospital) | Kat | Wed Oct 28, 19:00 | 3:00 PM | 12:00 PM |
| 7 | The Inspector (Scary Shawarma Kiosk) | itsjustnicholas | Thu Oct 29, 19:00 | 3:00 PM | 12:00 PM |
| 8 | The Overseer (WARDEN) | SirDapper | Sat Oct 31, 00:00 | Fri Oct 30, 8:00 PM | Fri Oct 30, 5:00 PM |
| 9 | Piggy (Piggy) | KreekCraft | Sat Oct 31, 16:30 | 12:30 PM | 9:30 AM |
The KreekCraft stream on Saturday morning (PT) lines up with Roblox’s “live finale for all players” on the morning of October 31. US clocks are still on daylight time for all of these. If you’re in the UK, note that BST ends on October 25, so from the Oct 25 stream on, UK time is the same as UTC. Creator names are as written on Roblox’s poster and event listings.

All free items in The Hollow (and how to get them)
The Hollow experience has nine official badges, all created on October 21. Roblox published nine avatar items with exactly the same names on October 22. Some item descriptions say outright how you get them. For the rest, we list what at least two sources agree on, and we flag where they don’t.
| Item | Type | How to get it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lord Umberhallow BLOXikin | Shoulder | Finish Floor 1 (the Seek maze) in the hub | Guides + wiki agree |
| All-Seeking Antlers | Hat | DOORS quest: get through 50 doors on The Candy Vault floor within 20 minutes, then claim it in the hub | Guides + wiki agree |
| The Beasthammer | Back | Flee the Facility quest: deposit 100 candies, then claim it in the hub | Guides + wiki agree |
| Little Plus-tergeist | Shoulder | “Caught from a Roblox Plus subscriber’s ghost launcher” | Official item text |
| Spotlight Specter | Shoulder | “Caught from a Star Creator’s ghost launcher” | Official item text |
| Phantom in the Code | Shoulder | “Caught from a developer’s ghost launcher” | Official item text |
| Incorporeal Incorporated | Shoulder | “Caught from a Roblox admin’s ghost launcher” | Official item text |
| Quack-o’-Lantern | Hat | Roblox Plus bonus item claimed with Tickets | GamesRadar+ + wiki agree |
| Gourdlord: The Entangled | Hat | Unclear: the wiki says you claim it for 100 Tickets, while GamesRadar+ ties it to Night 2 | Sources disagree |
The ghost launcher items
Four shoulder items can only be “caught” when someone fires a ghost launcher near you. Roblox’s X account says Roblox Plus subscribers can “launch items to other players with the launcher,” and the newsroom calls it an exclusive launcher for gifting items during the event. Little Plus-tergeist comes from Plus subscribers’ launchers, which is why it’s by far the most-awarded badge (about 3.36 million at 14:45 UTC). The other three need a Star Creator, a developer or a Roblox admin to launch them, so the creator livestreams above are your best bet for Spotlight Specter.
DOORS quest: All-Seeking Antlers
- Use the DOORS portal in The Hollow’s lobby (or join DOORS directly; its description says “Part of THE HOLLOW Event!”).
- Host a run on The Candy Vault floor. Other floors don’t count, according to Game Geek Fusion.
- Get through all 50 doors and escape before the 20-minute timer runs out. Skip optional loot and move fast.
- DOORS awards its official “Sweet Deceit” badge (“Unlocked during Roblox’s THE HOLLOW Event”). Then go back to the hub’s DOORS pedestal to claim the Antlers. Both guides say you also get 10 Tickets (GamesRadar+ says quests give 20).
Flee the Facility quest: The Beasthammer
- Collect and deposit 100 candies in Flee the Facility. The game’s official badge for it is called “The Hollow 2026.”
- As a survivor you earn candy by hacking computers (Game Geek Fusion: 3 for a hacking skill check, 10 for a finished computer) and by rescuing teammates. As the Beast you earn candy for hitting and capturing survivors, and the wiki calls that the fastest method.
- Deposit often. Game Geek Fusion says you can carry only 30 at a time and lose what you carry if you’re eliminated.
- Back in the hub, press E at the Beasthammer display to claim the item.

Every participating game in The Hollow
Roblox’s official event poster (posted on its X account on October 21) sorts the participating games into three groups. This is the official list. Some guides name extra games that aren’t on it, so check a game’s own Roblox page if you’re unsure.
The Nightly Haunts (a monster plus a creator each night)
99 Nights in the Forest, Animal Hospital, Dandy’s World, Demonology, DOORS, Piggy, Scary Shawarma Kiosk, The Mimic, WARDEN.
Roaming the Hollow (“out there every day”)
| Game | Monster on the poster |
|---|---|
| Bear | Bear |
| Petapeta | Petapeta |
| Flee the Facility | The Beast |
| Survive the Killer | Flotsam Direwick |
| Dead Rails | Zombie Mob |
| Evade | Angry Bobo |
| Home Alone: Anomalies | Party Girl Anomaly / Grinning Guy / Goblin |
| Banana Eats | The Banana |
| Aooni Nightmare | Ao Oni |
The Outskirts (side quests across Roblox)
Steal An Egg, Dress To Impress, Fisch, X100, +1 Speed Keyboard Escape, Candy & Chocolate, Clean All The Leaves, Hunted, Search For The Needle, Murderers Vs Sheriffs, Murder Duels, Survive Overnight In A Mega Store, Color Or Die, The Block, Duck Duck, Welcome To Bloxburg, Creatures Of Sonaria, Grow A Garden 2, Basketball Legends, Tower Defense Simulator, Moo Moo Mystery.
Two side quests we could confirm from the games themselves:
- Welcome to Bloxburg: its official “The Hollow 2026” badge says to “earn money through Seasonal Minigames, Ghost Patrol, or helping Daily Ghosts.”
- Fisch: its “The Pumpking” badge is “earned via completing the Pumpkin King’s questline in FischFright 3.” Game’s Horizon reports this is the badge The Hollow checks for its Fisch Tickets. The quest starts at Caustic Hallow.
GamesRadar+ adds a handy tip: if you already finished a game’s quest before visiting the hub, teleport to that game from The Hollow and come back to claim your Tickets, without redoing it. Many of these games are running their own Halloween updates too. Our Roblox Halloween updates this weekend (Oct 23-25) list has their start times, and earlier dates are in every Roblox Halloween event start time. For game-specific help, see our Dandy’s World Halloween 2026 guide, the 99 Nights in the Forest trick-or-treat guide and Dress To Impress Halloween 2026.
Roblox Plus perks and paid items
- Early access: Plus subscribers could enter the hub two hours early, at noon PT on Oct 22 (19:00 UTC, 3 PM ET).
- Plus extras: the ghost launcher, an exclusive profile frame and avatar background, “earnable items,” and the event theme, which they keep after the event ends.
- Paid, not free: the Hollow Horseman bundle costs 31,000 Robux on the Marketplace (checked Oct 23). Roblox also says “dozens of exclusive avatar items” and new seasonal makeup are on sale for a limited time. None of these are event rewards.
- Age: Roblox says The Hollow is aimed at players ages 9 and older in most regions. It points younger players to Duck Duck’s Family Zone crossover and the Halloween events in Adopt Me! and Welcome to Bloxburg.
FAQ
When does The Hollow end on Roblox?
The live finale starts on the morning of October 31. You can keep collecting rewards until 12:00 PM PST on November 2, which is 20:00 UTC and 3:00 PM EST (US clocks fall back on November 1).
Are there codes for The Hollow?
No. Roblox hasn’t published any Hollow codes. Items come from quests, ghost launchers and Tickets. Ignore any site that asks for your login in exchange for “free Hollow items.”

Yes. DOORS is one of the nine Nightly Haunts (Seek is the Night 1 monster), and its own description says “Part of THE HOLLOW Event!” Its Hollow quest gives the All-Seeking Antlers.
How many free items are in The Hollow?
As of October 23 there are nine official reward badges with nine matching Roblox items. Four of them come only from ghost launchers, and one (Quack-o’-Lantern) is tied to Roblox Plus. GamesRadar+ reports two more Plus bonus items coming on Days 3 and 6. We’ll update this guide as new nights unlock.
