Updated October 28, 2026: To unlock the Mushroom Infestation reward through Roblox's The Hollow event, current walkthroughs say to enter Scary Shawarma Kiosk: the ANOMALY from The Hollow hub, start a Story Mode Full Shift, successfully serve all seven Hollow Entities, and finish the shift before returning to the hub to claim the reward. Plan for roughly 20 minutes and leave a little extra time.
Important distinction: this is the partner-game quest in Scary Shawarma Kiosk, not the separate Floor 7 maze challenge where The Inspector patrols. Completing one route does not automatically complete the other. See the official Roblox game page.
Fastest reliable route to the Mushroom Infestation quest
- Start in The Hollow hub. Find the Scary Shawarma Kiosk portal and enter the linked experience from there.
- Choose Story Mode, then Full Shift. Current walkthroughs identify Full Shift as the required run; a shorter shift may not satisfy the challenge.
- Serve all seven Hollow Entities correctly. Read each order before assembling it. Don't guess when a customer’s requirements change.
- Finish the shift. The reported requirement is both serving seven entities and completing the Full Shift. Allow around 20 minutes, plus a little buffer.
- Return to The Hollow hub. After the completion confirmation, interact with the reward pedestal beside the Scary Shawarma Kiosk portal to claim Mushroom Infestation.
Order-check routine that saves failed attempts
The best time-saving trick is a repeatable check, not skipping steps. For every Hollow Entity, read the order from beginning to end, verify the requested ingredients, cook or heat the meat as instructed, and include the drink when requested. Recent guides call out cheese and salad when required, correct meat preparation, and soda service. Treat the order on your screen as the authority because combinations can change from customer to customer.
- Before building: separate ingredients, cooking instructions, and drink requirements.
- Before handing it over: compare the finished tray with the order one last time.
- After each customer: check the progress indicator if one appears; don't assume a handoff counted if it failed.
- If you make a mistake: follow the game’s prompts and avoid leaving the shift unless the game tells you to restart.
What rewards should you expect?
Walkthroughs published around October 29 report that a successful Full Shift serving all seven Hollow Entities awards the Hollow event badge, with the Mushroom Infestation UGC claimed separately back at The Hollow hub. They also report a 10-Ticket reward for the partner quest. Roblox can change event conditions, so check the live in-game objective and reward prompt if your screen differs from this guide.
Why Mushroom Infestation may not appear immediately
Don't assume the item is missing just because you completed the shift. First confirm that the game awarded the event badge or completion notice, then return to The Hollow hub and interact with the pedestal near the Scary Shawarma Kiosk portal. If the reward still does not appear, recheck the objective text, allow the game a moment to sync, and rejoin the hub once before repeating a full run. These are troubleshooting steps, not a guarantee that every inventory delay is fixed by rejoining.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a short shift instead of Full Shift.
- Serving fewer than seven Hollow Entities successfully.
- Forgetting a required ingredient, cooking instruction, or drink.
- Leaving before the shift is complete.
- Finishing the partner-game quest but forgetting to claim the separate item at the hub pedestal.
- Confusing the Mushroom Infestation partner quest with the Floor 7 maze reward.
