Quick answer: If you have a limited session on Wednesday, October 28, use it to finish any unfinished Hollow floors, claim rewards you have already earned, check your Ticket balance, and make sure you know where the elevator and reward-claim panels are. Night 8 is widely reported to feature The Overseer from WARDEN on Thursday, October 29, but Roblox’s official announcement confirms the monster lineup and nine-night format without publishing a definitive day-by-day floor schedule. Treat the Night 8 timing as a report, then check the live hub before planning around it.
Roblox says The Hollow is a platform-wide Halloween survival event with a different monster each day for nine days, a live finale on October 31, and a reward-collection window through November 2 at noon Pacific time. That makes tonight a useful catch-up window—but not a reason to trust unverified maze solutions or spend every Ticket before the next shop items appear. Roblox’s official event announcement.
1. Clear any older Hollow floors you have not finished
Do not assume you must finish every earlier floor tonight to unlock the next one. The official announcement explains the event’s daily maze structure, but it does not document every floor’s replay rules. Open the live Hollow hub and check the elevator: if earlier floors remain selectable, prioritize any reward you still want before moving on.
For each unfinished floor, use a simple loop: locate the puzzle room, read the in-game clue, solve the objective, collect the relic, and return to the elevator. Do not rely on a solution for another floor; the puzzle mechanics change. If you get caught, note what part of the route failed rather than repeating the same run without a plan.
2. Claim completed rewards before starting another run
After finishing a maze or a partner-game objective, return to The Hollow and look for the relevant claim or redemption prompt. A completed task, an earned badge, a shop purchase, and an item appearing in your inventory are not always the same thing. Confirm that the reward shows as claimed or owned before leaving the hub.
Keep a short checklist of what you have already collected: floor UGC, partner-game badges, Ticket rewards, and any shop item you bought. This avoids repeating a task you have finished while missing a separate reward that still needs a claim step.
3. Check your Tickets—but keep a reserve
Before buying anything, open the shop and check your current balance, the items marked OWNED, and any newly unlocked listings. The reported Night 8 lineup may bring another reward into the event, but as of this preparation guide there is no verified official price for every future item. Keep some Tickets unspent until you can see the live price and decide whether you actually want the item.
- First: subtract the price of items you already own from your personal wishlist.
- Second: claim any completed participating-game Ticket rewards that are still waiting in the hub.
- Third: compare the remaining balance with the prices currently displayed in-game.
- Last: spend only after checking whether a new item has unlocked and whether it is free, ticket-priced, or a Plus-only perk.
4. Prepare for The Overseer without trusting unverified tricks
Roblox officially identifies The Overseer as the monster associated with WARDEN in The Hollow’s nine-monster lineup. Third-party event guides place it on Night 8, expected October 29, but the official announcement does not publish a detailed Floor 8 route, relic name, hearing radius, damage statistic, or guaranteed hiding spot. Do not plan around a specific mechanic until the game itself shows it or a reliable walkthrough verifies it after release.
When the floor becomes available, take a first look at the layout before sprinting. Read every objective prompt, identify the route back to the elevator, and use corners or cover only when the live game gives you reason to believe they help. If you play with friends, agree on a simple plan—who checks which branch and where to regroup—rather than splitting up without communication.
5. Check the US schedule, but verify the live elevator
Third-party schedules currently report Night 8 / The Overseer for Thursday, October 29, with a likely afternoon Pacific-time release window. Roblox’s official post confirms the event begins on October 22 and runs through the October 31 finale, but does not state an official daily unlock time for each later floor. For US players, check the in-game elevator and event timer instead of assuming a precise hour from a fan schedule.
The official reward cutoff is November 2 at noon Pacific time. Because the United States switches from daylight saving time on November 1, be careful with countdowns that label the deadline “PST” or “PT.” The live hub countdown is the safest final check.

FAQ
Is Night 8 officially confirmed for October 29?
Roblox officially confirms The Overseer as one of the nine monsters, but its newsroom announcement does not assign a specific monster to each calendar day. Current third-party schedules place The Overseer on October 29, so treat the day assignment as reported until the live event or Roblox confirms it.
What should I finish before The Overseer arrives?
Prioritize unfinished floors, unclaimed rewards, partner-game objectives, and your own Ticket/shop checklist. These are useful preparations regardless of the exact Floor 8 mechanics.
Do I need to finish every previous floor first?
The official announcement does not specify a mandatory sequential-clear rule for every floor. Check the live elevator to see which floors are available and whether older floors can still be replayed.
Is there a confirmed Floor 8 solution already?
This guide does not claim a verified Floor 8 puzzle solution. The daily schedule and source-game pairing are not the same as a tested event-maze walkthrough. Follow the live objective and wait for reliable post-release instructions before trusting exact relic or monster tactics.
When do The Hollow rewards stop being claimable?
Roblox says rewards can be collected until November 2, 2026, at noon Pacific time. Check the live countdown in the hub so you do not miss the cutoff.
Reporting note: Roblox’s newsroom is the source for the nine-night event format, monster lineup, October 31 finale, and November 2 reward deadline. The October 29 Night 8 placement is reported by third-party schedules, not specified in the official announcement. No unverified Floor 8 puzzle solution is presented here.
