Quick answer: Roblox has confirmed The Overseer from WARDEN as part of The Hollow’s nine-monster Halloween event. Third-party trackers have pointed players toward roughly 2 p.m. Pacific for daily floor changes, but Roblox’s main event announcement does not promise an exact minute-by-minute unlock time for Floor 8. Verify availability in the live hub rather than treating that estimate as an official guarantee.
For U.S. players, open the official event hub, check the elevator for Floor 8, and read the live objective before following any walkthrough. This guide separates Roblox-confirmed details from reported timing so you can plan without confusing a countdown, a creator livestream, and an actual floor unlock.
What time should U.S. players check?
Third-party event trackers have pointed players toward roughly 2 p.m. Pacific Time for daily floor changes. On October 29, that corresponds to 3 p.m. Mountain, 4 p.m. Central, and 5 p.m. Eastern. These are conversions of the reported Pacific window, not an independently announced Roblox guarantee. If Floor 8 is not visible at that moment, refresh the hub or rejoin once and check the elevator again.
| U.S. time zone | Reported check window on Oct. 29 | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Pacific (PT) | About 2:00 p.m. | Floor 8 appears in the elevator |
| Mountain (MT) | About 3:00 p.m. | Floor 8 and its active quest prompt |
| Central (CT) | About 4:00 p.m. | Live objective, not a fan-made timer |
| Eastern (ET) | About 5:00 p.m. | Availability in your own server |
Important: these times describe a reported check window, not a guaranteed release minute. Roblox’s newsroom announcement says new monsters arrive over nine days but does not publish an exact daily unlock clock. A creator stream starting later is not proof that the floor itself opens at the stream’s start.
What Roblox has officially confirmed
Roblox’s October 21 announcement says The Hollow is a shared Halloween survival event featuring nine well-known horror games and a different monster each day for nine days. The Overseer from WARDEN is named in the official monster lineup. Roblox also says a live finale is planned for the morning of October 31 and that players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026.
The announcement does not specify a guaranteed Floor 8 unlock minute, a confirmed maze route, or every reward’s claim steps. Treat those details as unconfirmed unless the live experience or a later official Roblox post shows otherwise.

What to do before entering Floor 8
1. Confirm the floor in the elevator
Enter the official The Hollow experience and check which floors are selectable. A social post or third-party countdown is useful context, but the live hub is the better indicator of what your server currently supports.
2. Read the objective before moving
Take a moment to read the complete quest prompt. If it is blank, points to an earlier floor, or differs from a guide, do not assume your account is broken. Rejoin once and compare the prompt again.
3. Treat walkthroughs as reports, not official instructions
Community guides may describe a route or a pedestal puzzle, but the main Roblox announcement does not provide those steps. Confirm that a walkthrough is dated for the current event and matches Floor 8 before copying its instructions.
4. Verify the reward after completing the objective
Look for the game’s completion message, follow any claim instruction, and check your inventory. Do not assume a reward is yours just because a video says it drops at the end of a run.
If Floor 8 is missing or the timer looks wrong
- Check the live experience and elevator rather than relying only on a countdown site.
- Rejoin the experience once if the interface looks stale.
- Read the quest panel carefully and note any error message.
- Check official Roblox announcements for changes.
- Never use third-party unlock scripts or provide your password, verification code, or session cookie to someone promising a reward.
A mismatch between a countdown and the game does not automatically mean your account is ineligible. Third-party pages can be out of date, use a different time zone, or mistake a livestream time for a floor opening.
The finale and reward deadline are different
Roblox says The Hollow’s live finale is planned for the morning of October 31. The reward-collection window continues until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2. Because the United States changes from daylight time to standard time on November 1, the November 2 deadline is noon PST, or 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
That extra claim window is useful, but it should not be interpreted as a promise that every individual quest remains available under identical conditions. Check each objective in the live hub and claim rewards as soon as you complete them.
Official update and social post
Roblox posts event updates through its official X account. Use the original account to check the date and wording of the latest Night 8 announcement, and compare it with the live hub. This is safer than relying on screenshots reposted without a timestamp.

Frequently asked questions
Is Floor 8’s exact unlock time officially confirmed?
No exact daily unlock minute is specified in Roblox’s main event announcement. Around 2 p.m. Pacific is a reported check window from third-party trackers, not a guaranteed official time.
What time is the reported Floor 8 check window on the U.S. East Coast?
About 5 p.m. Eastern on October 29, based on the reported 2 p.m. Pacific window. Check the live elevator because the estimate is not an official guarantee.
Is The Overseer officially part of The Hollow?
Yes. Roblox’s October 21 newsroom announcement lists The Overseer from WARDEN among the event’s nine monsters.
Does a creator livestream prove Floor 8 is open?
No. A livestream schedule and the in-game floor availability are separate. Check the live hub directly.
When does Roblox stop allowing The Hollow reward collection?
Roblox says eligible rewards can be collected until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026. The live finale is planned for the morning of October 31.
