Updated October 22, 2026
Roblox finally showed its cards. The Hollow is a nine-night survival event with nine monsters pulled from nine horror games, and it opens today at 2 PM PT. The rumor list is gone. In its place, you'll find the confirmed lineup, start and end times for your region, the rewards, the Roblox Plus perks, and what we know about the October 31 finale.
The Hollow is Roblox's official Halloween event for 2026, and it lands only a few weeks after The Hunt 2026 wrapped up. This time, Roblox picked a lane: horror. You won't be jumping between dozens of games. Instead, everyone gets dropped into one shared survival hub, and every night, something new crawls in. Each monster comes from one of the nine participating games. If you've ever hidden from Seek in DOORS or run from Piggy, you already know some of the faces waiting for you.
All Confirmed Hollow Roblox Halloween Event 2026 Games
Roblox named all nine games on Oct 17 and confirmed the lineup in its official announcement on Oct 21. Each game sends one monster into The Hollow, and every single one is either a horror game or close enough to count. Here are all nine confirmed games and their monsters. Further down, you'll find start times, how the event works, rewards, and what Roblox Plus subscribers get.
| Game | Monster in The Hollow |
|---|---|
| 99 Nights in the Forest | The Deer |
| DOORS | Seek |
| Dandy's World | Twisted Dandy |
| Piggy | Piggy |
| Scary Shawarma Kiosk | The Inspector |
| Animal Hospital | Mimic |
| Demonology | Biter |
| The Mimic | Hiachi |
| WARDEN | The Overseer |
NOTE: Yes, there are two Mimics, and no, they're not the same thing. The monster called Mimic comes from Animal Hospital. The game called The Mimic sends in Hiachi instead. Also, Roblox hasn't said which night each monster shows up, so the table follows the order from the official announcement, not the event schedule. We'll add the exact nights as the monsters arrive.
Games That Didn't Make the Cut
Leakers had +1 Speed Keyboard Escape down as a near-certain pick, and many players expected the usual suspects to return, like Dress to Impress, Adopt Me!, Keys, and Flee the Facility. None of them made it into The Hollow. That's what happens when only nine seats are at the table. Compare that to 2025's Halloween Spotlight, which had over 30 games, and you can see how much Roblox narrowed things down this year.
When Does Roblox The Hollow Halloween 2026 Start and End?
The Hollow opens on Oct 22, 2026, at 2 PM PT. If you have Roblox Plus, you get in two hours early, at noon PT. The live finale for everyone starts on the morning of Oct 31, which couldn't be a more fitting date. After that, you still have until noon PST on Nov 2 to grab any rewards before the doors close for good.
Not in California? Here's when that is for you:

| Eastern (ET) | Oct 22, 3 PM | Oct 22, 5 PM | Nov 2, 3 PM |
| UK | Oct 22, 8 PM | Oct 22, 10 PM | Nov 2, 8 PM |
| Central Europe | Oct 22, 9 PM | Oct 22, 11 PM | Nov 2, 9 PM |
| India (IST) | Oct 23, 12:30 AM | Oct 23, 2:30 AM | Nov 3, 1:30 AM |
| Philippines (PHT) | Oct 23, 3 AM | Oct 23, 5 AM | Nov 3, 4 AM |
| Australia (AEDT) | Oct 23, 6 AM | Oct 23, 8 AM | Nov 3, 7 AM |
If the closing times look an hour off, that's daylight saving time. Europe switches back on Oct 25 and the US on Nov 1, right in the middle of the event.
How Does The Hollow Roblox Event Work?
If you played The Hunt or last year's Halloween Spotlight, forget most of what you know. You won't hop from game to game to tick off separate quests. Everyone plays the same survival game in one central hub, and it runs for the whole event. This is how it works:
- A new maze every day: For nine days straight, the hub gives you a fresh maze to get lost in.
- Clues and escapes: You hunt for clues in the maze while the monsters hunt for you.
- One new monster per night: Every day, another monster from the lineup joins in. They don't leave, so the maze only gets worse.
- Quests and rewards: Finish quests to get exclusive UGC items, plus rewards that help you last longer on the nights that follow.
- Live finale: All nine nights build up to a live finale for every player on the morning of Oct 31.
You won't be in there alone, either. Roblox has creators streaming from inside The Hollow every day, digging for clues and helping players stay alive. LimaMosca, KreekCraft, Bundun, and SirDapper are all confirmed. If a maze has you going in circles, their streams are probably your quickest way out.
Who Can Play The Hollow?
You need a Roblox or Roblox Select account, and in most regions, you need to be 9 or older. Roblox says age and access rules vary by country, so check yours if the hub doesn't show up as for devices, PC, mobile, Xbox, and PlayStation all work.
Too young for The Hollow? There's still plenty of spooky stuff to do. Roblox's Family Zone has a Duck Duck Halloween crossover that parents and kids can play together. Adopt Me! is bringing back the Hauntlet minigame with new pets and rewards, and Welcome to Bloxburg has its own Halloween minigames, including Pumpkin Panic and Ghost Hunt.
The Hollow Rewards and Free UGC Items
Quests in The Hollow give you exclusive UGC avatar items, plus survival rewards you can use on later nights. Roblox hasn't shared the full reward list yet, so we'll add every item and how to get it as soon as the hub opens. One thing to remember: you must claim rewards by noon PST on Nov 2. Miss it, and they're gone.
If you'd rather spend Robux, the Marketplace also has a limited-time Halloween lineup. It includes the Hollow Horseman, dozens of exclusive avatar items, and new seasonal makeup looks.
And no, there are no codes for The Hollow event. You have to earn every reward in the hub. If a website promises Hollow codes, free items, or some shortcut to the rewards, it's a scam. Just don't mix the event up with HOLLOW, a completely unrelated Bleach-inspired Roblox game that does have codes.
Roblox Plus Perks for The Hollow
Roblox spelled out the Plus perks in a post on X right before launch. If your subscription is active, this is what you get:
- Early hub access at noon PT on Oct 22, a full two hours before everyone else.
- An exclusive profile frame and avatar background themed around The Hollow.
- Exclusive earnable items that only Plus subscribers can unlock.
- An exclusive item launcher to send items to other players during the event.
- The event theme stays on your account after the finale, as long as your subscription is active.
Halloween Updates in the Participating Games
A few of the nine games are running their own Halloween updates right now. They're separate from The Hollow, but if you want to get to know these monsters before they come after you in the hub, this is a good place to start:
- DOORS: The Candy Vault update, live from Oct 22.
- Piggy: The Frightful Forest map, available until Nov 8.
- 99 Nights in the Forest: A Halloween update that went live on Oct 17.
- Dandy's World: A Halloween event running until Nov 6.
The Hollow vs Past Roblox Halloween Events
The Hollow isn't a sequel to anything. It's a new event, and nothing you earned in earlier Halloween events carries over. Here's how it compares to the last two years:
| Event | Year | Dates | Games | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Haunt | 2024 | Oct 24 to Nov 1 | 20+ | Haunted mansion hub, costume contests |
| Halloween Spotlight | 2025 | Oct 23 to Nov 3 | 30+ | Runes, keys, and Elite Paths |
| The Hollow | 2026 | Oct 22 to Nov 2 | 9 | Shared survival hub, one monster per night |
