Quick answer: Roblox has confirmed nine monsters for The Hollow’s nine-night Halloween survival event, but its official announcement does not assign a specific monster to Night 1 or publish a complete day-by-day order. The confirmed lineup includes The Deer from 99 Nights in the Forest, Seek from DOORS, Twisted Dandy from Dandy’s World, Piggy, The Inspector, Mimic, Biter, Hiachi, and The Overseer. Check the live event hub for the monster actually appearing on Day 1 instead of trusting an unsourced schedule graphic.
That distinction matters on launch day. A headline claiming the Day 1 monster is “confirmed” can send players searching for the wrong enemy, especially when fan-made lists and reposted screenshots move faster than official updates. The useful question is not just which monster looks scariest, but what Roblox has actually verified and how players can prepare without wasting their first run.
What Roblox has officially confirmed
In an announcement published October 21, Roblox said The Hollow opens to the public at 2 p.m. Pacific on October 22, 2026. Active Roblox Plus subscribers can enter the hub at noon Pacific, two hours earlier. The event features a new maze and a different monster each day for nine days, with a live finale planned for October 31. Roblox says players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific on November 2.
The official announcement names the nine monsters and their original experiences, but it does not map each one to a numbered night. That means the roster is confirmed while a precise “Night 1, Night 2, Night 3” order remains unverified in the announcement. A creator may reveal what they personally encountered in the live hub, but that is different from Roblox publishing a universal schedule.

The nine confirmed monsters—not a confirmed order
- The Deer — 99 Nights in the Forest
- Seek — DOORS
- Twisted Dandy — Dandy’s World
- Piggy — Piggy
- The Inspector — Scary Shawarma Kiosk
- Mimic — Animal Hospital
- Biter — Demonology
- Hiachi — The Mimic
- The Overseer — Warden
These names come from Roblox’s announcement. The list above is a roster, not a prediction of which monster appears first. Until the live event hub or a new official post provides the sequence, presenting any one monster as the guaranteed Day 1 encounter would go beyond the available evidence.
Which monster could feel hardest?
There is no official difficulty ranking for The Hollow’s versions of these characters. Their original games offer clues about the kind of tension each character is associated with, but The Hollow is a separate event experience. Roblox may adjust movement, attack timing, maze design, or survival objectives for the shared hub, so difficulty in an original game is not proof of difficulty in this event.
For players, the most useful approach is to treat the first encounter as reconnaissance. Read the current objective, watch for environmental cues, and learn how the event signals danger before committing to a risky route. If you are playing with friends, agree on a regroup point and communicate what you actually see rather than repeating a rumor about the monster’s behavior.
How to prepare for the first maze without a fake schedule
- Open the official event hub. Use Roblox’s own announcement or a link provided inside Roblox, not an outside page asking for your password or verification code.
- Read the active quest text. Objectives can be more reliable than an old walkthrough. Check what the game currently asks you to collect, reach, or survive.
- Learn the maze before rushing. Note landmarks and branching paths. If the game gives clear visual warnings, use them to decide when to pause or retreat.
- Play with a communication plan. Tell teammates where you are and share verified observations. Do not assume a revive, safe room, or item-carryover mechanic unless the game confirms it.
- Verify rewards in the hub. Roblox says quests can earn exclusive UGC and other rewards, but each item’s live requirement should be checked in the interface.
Why “confirmed Day 1 order” claims deserve caution
Event leaks can be useful leads, but a screenshot without a traceable official source does not establish a schedule. It might show a creator’s current run, a fan-made prediction, a different region or test environment, or an edited graphic. The strongest evidence is a live event display or a dated statement from Roblox.
That does not mean every community post is wrong. It means the claim should be labeled according to its evidence. “Roblox confirmed nine monsters” is supported. “The Deer is definitely Night 1” is not supported by the official announcement reviewed for this article. Keeping those statements separate helps players plan without turning speculation into misinformation.
