Updated October 27, 2026: Roblox’s The Hollow Halloween event does not end when its live finale wraps on October 31. Roblox says players can keep collecting event rewards until 12 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Monday, November 2, 2026. That distinction matters: the finale is a show, while the reward deadline is the last window to finish claiming items.
Roblox’s official newsroom announcement confirms the November 2 noon PST deadline and says players earn exclusive UGC by completing quests. It does not provide a complete list of every item’s unlock steps, so check each reward’s own in-game requirements rather than relying on unverified social posts. Read Roblox’s official event announcement.
Quick answer: When do The Hollow rewards expire?
Deadline: Monday, November 2, 2026, at 12 p.m. PST (Pacific Standard Time), or 8 p.m. UTC. In the U.S., that is 3 p.m. Eastern, 2 p.m. Central, 1 p.m. Mountain and noon Pacific. The United States ends daylight saving time on November 1, so the November 2 deadline uses standard-time abbreviations, not daylight time.
The Hollow reward deadline by U.S. time zone
| U.S. time zone | Deadline on Nov. 2, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Hawaii Standard Time (HST) | 10:00 a.m. |
| Alaska Standard Time (AKST) | 11:00 a.m. |
| Pacific Standard Time (PST) | 12:00 p.m. (noon) |
| Mountain Standard Time (MST) | 1:00 p.m. |
| Central Standard Time (CST) | 2:00 p.m. |
| Eastern Standard Time (EST) | 3:00 p.m. |
These conversions follow the official 20:00 UTC deadline. Most of Arizona remains on Mountain Standard Time year-round; locations that observe daylight saving time switch back on November 1. If your device uses a local time zone, double-check the time displayed by your calendar and do not wait until the final minute.
Why October 31 is not the final reward deadline
Roblox describes October 31 as the morning of The Hollow’s live finale. Its newsroom post separately says reward collection continues until noon PST on November 2. Players who finish a quest during the event should still make sure they actually claim or redeem the reward through the relevant in-game display or quest interface.
Do not treat a creator livestream’s end time, a daily monster rotation, or a fan site’s countdown as the official deadline. The safest reference is Roblox’s own announcement and the current state of the official event hub.
What players should do before the deadline
- Open the official hub. Use the official The Hollow experience, not a similarly named game or a third-party “claim” page.
- Check your reward list. Identify which quests or partner-game tasks you have not completed yet.
- Prioritize unfinished quest rewards. Roblox confirms quests can award exclusive UGC, but exact task instructions can vary by item.
- Claim items in the game. If a reward requires returning to the hub or interacting with a display, complete that step before the cutoff.
- Verify your avatar inventory. Confirm the item appears before leaving the experience, especially if the reward has multiple steps.
- Leave a buffer. Finish well before the deadline to allow for server queues, disconnects, or an incomplete quest state.
How to avoid fake free-UGC claims
Be wary of posts promising a universal The Hollow code, free Robux, or instant UGC through an external website. Roblox’s official announcement describes quest-earned rewards but does not list a universal event code. Never enter your Roblox password on a third-party reward page, install an executable to claim an item, or share a browser cookie. Use the official Roblox experience and account pages.
