Updated October 28, 2026 · By Shivam Das · For U.S. players
Quick answer: Roblox’s Halloween event The Hollow has reached Night 7, featuring The Inspector from Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly. Roblox has confirmed the event’s nine-monster format and named The Inspector in its lineup. However, we could not independently verify a reliable set of first-clear times from U.S. players, so this guide does not invent times or present unverified clips as confirmed records.
Players can enter the official The Hollow experience by Roblox Presents to check the live elevator and current floor. Availability and floor state can change in-game, so the hub itself is the best final check before starting a run.
What is confirmed about The Hollow Night 7?
Roblox announced The Hollow as a platform-wide Halloween survival event running from October 22 through November 2, 2026. The event features nine well-known horror-game monsters, a maze-based survival format, quests, and avatar rewards. The official announcement also says the live finale is planned for the morning of October 31, while rewards remain collectible until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2.
The Inspector is associated with Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly. That connection is part of Roblox’s announced lineup. What is not established by the official announcement is a verified leaderboard of Night 7 completion times, a universal maze route, or a single “fastest clear” that applies to every player.
First-clear times: what U.S. players should record
Early completion claims can spread quickly during a live game event, but a screenshot alone may not prove a record. A useful clear-time report should show the floor or event stage, the timer or a visible start-and-finish sequence, and enough context to establish that the run was completed in the live experience rather than a replay, edited clip, or different game mode.
As of this update, we do not have a sufficiently verified sample to publish a defensible “first clear” time table. Rather than guessing, use this simple reporting checklist when comparing your own run with creator videos or community posts:
- Record the time you enter Floor 7 and the time you return to the elevator or reach the game’s completion state.
- Capture the result screen or reward confirmation, if one appears.
- Note your platform—PC, mobile, console—and whether you played solo or with others.
- Keep the original clip or screenshot and the public post URL so the result can be checked later.
- Separate a personal best from a verified first clear. They are not the same claim.
This method is more useful than repeating an unsourced time because players can compare runs on similar platforms and routes without treating a rumor as a leaderboard.
How to approach the Inspector maze without wasting a run
Roblox describes The Hollow as a shared survival experience where players search a maze for clues while avoiding a featured monster. That broad format is confirmed; exact Floor 7 puzzle details can vary or be reported differently across community guides. Check the current in-game instructions before following a route from an older video.
- Check the elevator first. Confirm Floor 7 is available in your session and read any prompt shown before entering.
- Move with a plan. Follow one corridor at a time and note branches you have already checked. Repeatedly doubling back can cost time and make it harder to understand where a chase began.
- Look for the actual puzzle room. Do not assume a guide’s directions match every spawn layout. Use the objects and instructions visible in your own run.
- Prioritize survival over speed. A fast route is not useful if it ends in a reset. Learn the monster’s behavior from what the game shows rather than trusting an unverified “guaranteed safe” route.
- Confirm the clear. Return to the required exit or elevator and check that the game has registered completion or the reward.
Real gameplay visuals: what the images can and cannot prove
Game screenshots help readers recognize the setting, enemy, and puzzle atmosphere. They do not, by themselves, prove that a Night 7 run was completed at a particular time. For that, look for a dated creator upload, an uncut run, or a clear result screen with enough context to verify the claim.
Official event post and creator coverage
Roblox’s official event announcement confirms the overall format, the monster lineup, and the October 31 finale. Follow the official account for announcements, and check creator footage for actual gameplay—but treat completion-time claims as unverified unless the original clip shows enough evidence to support them.

What U.S. players should know about dates and rewards
Roblox says the event’s live finale is planned for the morning of October 31, 2026. The exact start time should be checked against the official event listing rather than inferred from creator livestreams. Roblox also says players can continue collecting event rewards until noon PST on November 2. Because the U.S. daylight-saving change happens on November 1, double-check the time zone label close to the deadline.
Do not pay for a third-party “fast clear,” share account credentials, or install an unofficial tool promising event rewards. Use the official Roblox experience and its in-game prompts. If an item or reward does not appear, save a screenshot and report the issue through Roblox’s supported help channels rather than relying on a random social post.
How this guide is being updated
This report distinguishes confirmed event facts from unverified community claims. We will add a first-clear time only when a dated original clip or comparable evidence supports it. If you have a run to share, preserve the original video, include your platform and completion screen, and link to the public source so it can be checked.
Frequently asked questions
Is The Inspector confirmed for The Hollow Night 7?
Roblox’s official event lineup includes The Inspector from Scary Shawarma Kiosk. The exact state of a player’s floor should still be checked in the live event hub.
What is the fastest verified Night 7 clear time?
We could not verify a reliable first-clear leaderboard at publication time, so we are not naming a fastest time. A credible claim should include a dated original clip and clear completion evidence.
Can I use another player’s video as proof?
Yes, as a lead for further checking, but verify the original upload and make sure it shows the same event floor and a completed run. A short edited montage may omit important context.
When does The Hollow reward collection end?
Roblox says rewards remain collectible until noon PST on November 2, 2026. Check the official event page for any updated notice before the deadline.
Where should I enter The Hollow?
Use the official The Hollow experience by Roblox Presents, not a similarly named fan experience.
