Quick answer: If you only have one short play session, prioritize Floor 7 if your goal is The Hollow’s main maze reward, Candy Corn Rune Antlers. The separate Scary Shawarma Kiosk partner quest is worth doing when you have roughly 20 minutes for a full Story Mode shift and want its reported reward: Mushroom Infestation, a badge, and 10 Tickets. These are different activities; completing one does not automatically complete the other.
Roblox’s official announcement confirms The Hollow brings nine horror games into a shared survival event, with a different monster each day and rewards for completing quests. It does not publish exact completion times for either activity. The details below use current third-party walkthroughs, so check the live quest display before relying on a specific payout.
What you get from Floor 7
Current Floor 7 walkthrough reporting says players should find the puzzle room, take a torch from the burning brazier, light four pumpkins scattered around the maze, then return the relic to the elevator while avoiding The Inspector. Pumpkin locations can vary, so remembering the elevator’s location helps prevent backtracking.
- Best for: players who want to progress through The Hollow’s central maze and claim the floor reward.
- Main challenge: searching the maze with a torch while avoiding The Inspector.
- Time risk: missing a pumpkin or losing track of the elevator can extend the run.
- Reported reward: Candy Corn Rune Antlers and the associated badge.
What you get from the Scary Shawarma Kiosk quest
The partner quest takes place inside Scary Shawarma Kiosk, not in the Floor 7 maze. A walkthrough published October 29 reports that players should enter through The Hollow hub, start a Full Shift in Story Mode, and successfully serve seven Hollow Entities. It estimates about 20 minutes and reports a Hollow 2026 badge, Mushroom Infestation UGC reward, and 10 Tickets after claiming the reward in the hub.
That estimate is a planning guide, not a guarantee. New players may need extra time to learn orders. Don’t begin a Full Shift if you have to leave immediately.
Casual-player decision table
| Your situation | Best starting point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You have 10 minutes or less | Prepare for Floor 7 or return later | The partner quest is reported to take about 20 minutes. |
| You want the main Hollow floor reward | Floor 7 | The torch-and-pumpkin objective is tied to the floor’s relic. |
| You want the Scary Shawarma crossover reward and Tickets | Partner quest | It has its own seven-entity shift requirement. |
| You’re new and often lose your route | Review the task first | Know the objective and exit location before committing. |
| You have time for both | Floor 7 first, then the full shift | Finish the central maze objective before starting the longer separate task. |
How to avoid wasting a session
- Check the live hub and confirm Floor 7 and its reward are still available.
- For Floor 7, remember the elevator location and light all four pumpkins before returning the relic.
- For the partner quest, enter Scary Shawarma Kiosk through The Hollow portal and choose the correct Story Mode shift.
- Serve all seven Hollow Entities accurately, according to the reported quest requirements.
- After finishing, return to the hub and check the reward pedestal rather than assuming the item was claimed.
- Never give a third-party site your Roblox password, browser cookie, or account token to claim an item.
What is confirmed, and what is still reported?
