Quick answer: The claim that The Hollow’s Floor 7 relic can appear after lighting only three pumpkins is not confirmed by reliable evidence we could verify. Current walkthroughs describe lighting all four pumpkins with a torch, then returning the relic to the elevator. A counter that appears to show “three” may mean three pumpkins remain, rather than three have been completed. Treat a three-pumpkin relic spawn as an unverified report until Roblox or repeatable gameplay evidence confirms it.
Floor 7 brings The Inspector from Scary Shawarma Kiosk into Roblox’s Halloween event, The Hollow. That makes a possible shortcut tempting: if the relic appears early, players could save time and reduce the risk of being caught. But a single run, a cropped clip, or a confusing counter is not enough to establish a bug—or prove that the developers intended a shortcut.
What the current evidence says about the three-pumpkin claim
The available Floor 7 walkthroughs describe a four-pumpkin objective: find the puzzle room, take the torch from the lit brazier, light four pumpkins scattered around the maze, collect the relic, and bring it back to the elevator while avoiding The Inspector. These guides are third-party reporting, not an official Roblox statement of the puzzle’s internal logic, so they are useful evidence—but not proof that every server behaves identically.
That distinction matters. We found no verified developer note saying a relic should spawn after exactly three pumpkins, and no controlled, repeatable test showing that the fourth pumpkin is optional. The most responsible current verdict is therefore unconfirmed—not a confirmed bug and not a confirmed intended shortcut.
Could the pumpkin counter be causing confusion?
Yes, that is one plausible explanation, but it has not been proven. Players can confuse a remaining-object counter with a completed-object counter, especially while running from a monster or watching a short clip without its opening seconds. A video showing “3” is not conclusive unless the viewer can tell whether it means three pumpkins lit, three pumpkins left, or a stage indicator.
Other possibilities include a delayed interface update, a clip that starts after one pumpkin has already been lit, or a genuine server-specific issue. Those are hypotheses, not established causes. We would need an uninterrupted recording showing the counter before and after every interaction to distinguish them.
How to test the Floor 7 relic spawn without guessing
- Start a fresh run. Record the floor from the moment you leave the elevator so the beginning of the attempt is not missing.
- Find the puzzle room and take the torch. Keep the objective counter visible whenever possible.
- Record each pumpkin interaction. After every pumpkin, pause long enough to show the counter and the environment. Do not rely on a clipped montage.
- Check when the relic appears. If it appears after the third interaction, capture the full sequence and verify that no earlier pumpkin was already lit.
- Repeat the test. A second fresh run—and ideally another player independently reproducing it—would make the report more credible.
- Finish the route. Bring the relic back to the elevator and check whether the reward or badge registers. A visual spawn alone does not prove the full objective is complete.
What players should do right now
If your relic appears after three pumpkins, finish the run if the game lets you, then check the event hub and your inventory rather than assuming the reward is secured. If the relic does not appear, light the fourth pumpkin and return to the elevator as the currently documented route describes. Do not reset a successful run just to test a rumor unless you are comfortable risking that attempt.
Also separate a puzzle issue from an item-delivery delay. If the relic reaches the elevator but the badge or avatar item does not appear immediately, recheck your inventory and badge status after a short wait, then rejoin and verify again. Community posts have reported reward-registration delays in The Hollow, but those reports do not establish the cause of this specific pumpkin claim.
Community report: useful lead, not confirmation
A Reddit player recently discussed unusual Floor 7 behavior, including The Inspector seeming to move or appear unexpectedly. That is relevant context for why players are scrutinizing this floor, but it does not verify that the relic intentionally appears after three pumpkins. We are embedding the public discussion below so readers can inspect the original context rather than treating a paraphrase as proof.

For official event information, use The Hollow experience by Roblox Presents and Roblox’s official event announcement. For the currently reported puzzle route, compare the TechWiser Floor 7 guide with other walkthroughs; neither should be mistaken for a developer-confirmed explanation of a three-pumpkin spawn.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Floor 7 relic officially spawn after three pumpkins?
We could not verify that claim. The current walkthroughs we checked describe lighting all four pumpkins before collecting the relic. A three-pumpkin spawn should be treated as an unconfirmed report.
Is it a bug or an intended shortcut?
There is not enough verified evidence to label it either way. A repeatable, uninterrupted recording or an official developer statement would be needed to confirm the behavior.
What should I do if the relic appears early?
Record the full sequence, return the relic to the elevator if possible, and check the event hub, badge status, and avatar inventory. Avoid claiming that the shortcut works for everyone based on one run.
What if the relic does not appear after three pumpkins?
Continue with the documented four-pumpkin route. Make sure the torch interaction registered for each pumpkin and keep the elevator location in mind while avoiding The Inspector.
Where can I verify the Floor 7 objective?
Start with the official Roblox The Hollow hub, then compare recent walkthroughs. Treat player clips and community posts as reports unless the full sequence can be reproduced.
Reporting note: This article distinguishes the reported three-pumpkin claim from the four-pumpkin route described by current third-party walkthroughs. It will need an update if Roblox publishes a clarification or reliable gameplay testing establishes a different rule.
