Quick answer: Roblox has confirmed that The Hollow features Mimic from Animal Hospital among its nine monsters, but its official announcement does not publish a guaranteed day-by-day floor order or exact unlock time. Third-party event trackers currently expect the Animal Hospital Mimic for October 27. Before then, update Roblox, check your event hub and reward inventory, and finish any earlier floor or quest you still want to complete. Confirm the live objective in The Hollow before relying on a walkthrough.
Night 6 preparation is less about guessing a secret route and more about avoiding a last-minute scramble. The Hollow is a shared Halloween survival event: players navigate a maze, look for clues, evade the featured monster, and complete quests for rewards. The event’s official information is clear about the nine participating monsters and the overall reward window, but it does not verify every floor’s puzzle, relic, spawn behavior, or unlock minute in advance.
Is Night 6 definitely the Animal Hospital Mimic?
Roblox’s October 21 newsroom announcement confirms Mimic from Animal Hospital as one of the event’s nine featured monsters. It says a different monster appears each day for nine days, but the announcement lists the characters without guaranteeing a complete day-by-day sequence. Several third-party trackers currently place Animal Hospital’s Mimic on October 27. That makes it a useful expectation, not a promise from Roblox that every server will unlock a specific floor at a particular minute.
Check the official Roblox announcement and the live The Hollow hub before treating a fan-made schedule as confirmed. The game’s own event panel is the final check for the objective available to your account.
Five things to do before the next floor appears
- Reopen The Hollow and check the elevator. Do not assume a floor is locked just because an old guide says it is. The event can progress while guides are being updated.
- Finish any earlier objective you still care about. If a previous floor or quest remains incomplete, check whether it is still accessible and whether its reward is already recorded in your inventory.
- Check your badges and avatar items. Before repeating a task, verify whether the badge or reward has already been awarded. Inventory or badge updates can take time to refresh.
- Prepare your controls and connection. Update the Roblox app, close unnecessary background downloads, and test movement and camera controls before entering a maze. These steps reduce avoidable technical friction but do not guarantee a clean run.
- Keep a safe route back in mind. When the live objective starts, note the elevator or exit direction and follow in-game cues. Do not assume a route from a different floor or another horror game will work here.
Do not confuse Animal Hospital’s Mimic with Hiachi
This distinction matters for searches and walkthroughs. Roblox’s official lineup includes both Mimic from Animal Hospital and Hiachi from The Mimic. They are separate characters tied to separate experiences. A guide for Hiachi may describe a different monster and a different source game, so check the character name and the event’s current floor before following instructions.
Animal Hospital itself has its own regular gameplay systems and updates. The Hollow is a separate event hub, so do not assume that an ability, map layout, or enemy behavior from the source game transfers directly into the event maze.
What about relics, badges, and free UGC?
Roblox says players can earn exclusive UGC and other rewards by completing event quests, and the reward-collection window continues until noon Pacific Time on November 2, 2026. However, the official announcement does not confirm a specific Night 6 relic name, exact puzzle sequence, or every badge-claim step. Those details should be checked against the live objective and the relevant badge or item page.
After completing a task, wait for the in-game confirmation, then check your Roblox inventory or badge list. If the reward does not appear immediately, rejoin once and check again before repeatedly completing the same challenge. Avoid third-party “instant UGC” pages that request your password, browser cookies, or downloads.
US player checklist: when should you check?
Because the event’s daily floor unlock time is not specified in Roblox’s announcement, do not plan around an unverified countdown. On October 27, check The Hollow hub directly before school, after school, or during your usual play window. If the new objective is not available yet, return later rather than assuming your account is broken.
- Bookmark the official hub.
- Read the active quest text before entering the maze.
- Take a screenshot of an error or missing reward if you need to report a bug.
- Confirm a reward in your inventory before leaving the event.
- Check Roblox’s official announcement if a circulating schedule contradicts the live game.

Frequently asked questions
When is The Hollow Night 6 expected?
Third-party trackers currently expect the Animal Hospital Mimic around October 27, 2026. Roblox confirms the monster is part of the event but has not published a guaranteed day-by-day floor schedule in its main announcement. Check the live hub for confirmation.
Is the Animal Hospital Mimic the same as Hiachi?
No. Mimic is associated with Animal Hospital, while Hiachi is associated with The Mimic. They are separate characters in Roblox’s announced lineup.
What should I finish before Night 6?
Check earlier floors and quests, verify rewards already earned, update Roblox, and read the active objective when the new floor appears. Do not rely on unverified relic names or puzzle steps.
What time will Night 6 unlock in the United States?
Roblox’s official announcement does not specify an exact daily floor-unlock time. Check the event hub in your local US time zone rather than trusting an unofficial countdown.
When does The Hollow reward window end?
Roblox says players can continue collecting event rewards until noon Pacific Time on November 2, 2026. Check the live event for any item-specific requirements.
Bottom line
The smartest Night 6 preparation is to clear up unfinished progress, verify your rewards, and check the live hub rather than betting on an unconfirmed schedule. Roblox has confirmed Animal Hospital’s Mimic is part of The Hollow, while the exact daily order and unlock time should be treated as provisional until the game confirms them. Follow the live objective, protect your account, and use official sources when a walkthrough conflicts with what you see.
