For US Roblox players · Updated October 21, 2026
Roblox’s Halloween calendar is crowded this week. The Hollow is the platform-wide survival event, but several popular experiences are also running their own seasonal updates. The trap is assuming that a Halloween banner, a matching date, or a familiar monster means every event shares the same quests or rewards. They do not automatically connect.
Quick answer: Roblox says The Hollow opens at 2 p.m. Pacific on October 22 and features nine horror-game monsters over nine nights, with a live finale on October 31. DOORS’ Candy Vault and other game-specific Halloween updates have separate listings and requirements. Plan around each experience’s own event panel, and use The Hollow hub for Hollow-specific tasks.
What is confirmed about Roblox The Hollow?
In its October 21 newsroom announcement, Roblox described The Hollow as a shared survival event running into early November. The hub is scheduled to open at 2 p.m. PT on October 22; Roblox Plus subscribers can enter at noon PT. A new monster appears each day for nine days, players search mazes for clues and evade threats, and the live finale is planned for October 31. Roblox also says reward collection continues until noon Pacific on November 2.
The nine featured monsters come from 99 Nights in the Forest, DOORS, Dandy’s World, Piggy, Scary Shawarma Kiosk, Animal Hospital, Demonology, The Mimic and Warden. Those are the named Hollow crossover characters; this list is not a promise that every separate Halloween quest in those games feeds into the hub.

The overlapping Halloween schedule US players should watch
October 22: The Hollow and DOORS happen on the same day
The Hollow’s official opening is 2 p.m. PT. DOORS has separately advertised The Candy Vault for October 22, with its own invitation and event details. The date overlap is useful for planning, but it is not proof that Candy Vault tasks count toward Hollow progression or that the two events share a reward track.
Practical move: check the DOORS experience page and its in-game event panel before launch. If Candy Vault opens earlier, you may be able to inspect its own objectives before The Hollow starts. Don’t spend time searching for a cross-event badge unless the game or Roblox explicitly shows one.
October 23: Brookhaven and Jujutsu Shenanigans add another time clash
Brookhaven’s Halloween listing is scheduled for October 23 through November 6. Jujutsu Shenanigans also has a Halloween update listed for October 23, while Creatures of Sonaria has a seasonal event window around the same date. Those separate launches can compete for the same evening, especially for players who want to check every new event immediately.
Brookhaven is a roleplay experience, while Jujutsu Shenanigans is combat-focused. They serve different moods, so choose based on the activity you actually want—not just which game has the newest Halloween thumbnail. For each one, wait for the developer’s live event panel before assuming that past-year quests or item prices are returning unchanged.
October 24: check deadlines before starting another long grind
Event trackers list the current Steal An Egg Halloween Dimension and 99 Nights in the Forest Trick or Treat Part 1 windows as ending early on October 24 Pacific time. FischFright 3, by contrast, is listed as continuing into November. Since game developers can revise event windows, treat the timer inside the experience as the final check before spending your last session on a limited reward.
Evade is another example of a separate seasonal track: its Halloween event uses Wisps and Spellbooks, and it has its own cosmetics and end date. Do not assume those currencies, quests or purchases transfer to The Hollow.
Why players get confused—and how to avoid wasting time
- Same date does not mean same event. A game-specific Halloween update can launch on October 22 without being a Hollow quest destination.
- Check the event owner. Roblox’s official Hollow announcement is the source for the shared hub; individual game pages and developer announcements govern their own updates.
- Separate reward inventories. A cosmetic, badge or currency earned in one experience may not count toward another event unless the rules say so.
- Use exact deadlines. Look at the current in-game timer and event panel. Older guides and screenshots may describe a previous Halloween season.
- Avoid fake reward links. Never enter your password, session cookie or verification code on an outside page promising free Robux or instant event items.

Best plan for casual players with limited time
If you only have one or two hours, reserve the first block for The Hollow’s official hub and its visible objectives. Then spend the rest of the session on a separate event only if its own reward or deadline matters to you. If a game’s event menu is not live yet, move on and check again later instead of repeating old routes from a previous year.
Before leaving any event, claim any reward that has a separate claim button and confirm it appears in your inventory or badge list. Take a screenshot of a deadline if the timer is unclear, but do not rely on a screenshot from another player as proof of your account’s progress.
Frequently asked questions
Does DOORS Candy Vault count as a The Hollow quest?
The same-day schedule does not prove shared progression. Check The Hollow hub and the DOORS event’s own instructions for an explicit connection.
When does The Hollow open for US players?
Roblox’s official newsroom says 2 p.m. Pacific on October 22, 2026, with Roblox Plus early access at noon Pacific.
Which Halloween event should I finish first?
Prioritize a reward you genuinely want that has a near deadline, then move to The Hollow when its hub opens. Confirm all deadlines in the current game rather than assuming they match older guides.
Are Halloween items or currencies shared between Roblox games?
Not by default. Treat each game’s currency, quests and inventory as separate unless Roblox or the game developer explicitly says otherwise.
Where should I check for schedule changes?
Start with Roblox’s official The Hollow announcement, then open the specific game’s Roblox page and in-game event panel for its own schedule.
