The Hollow is Roblox's platform-wide Halloween 2026 survival event: it opens at 2 p.m. PT on October 22 (21:00 UTC) and runs until November 2, 2026. Each day for nine days, the event hub adds a new maze and a new monster from a famous Roblox horror game: The Deer (99 Nights in the Forest), Seek (DOORS), Twisted Dandy (Dandy's World), Piggy, The Inspector (Scary Shawarma Kiosk), Mimic (Animal Hospital), Biter (Demonology), Hiachi (The Mimic) and The Overseer (Warden).

A live finale starts on the morning of October 31, and rewards can be collected until noon PST on November 2. It's for players aged 9+ in most regions; Roblox Plus subscribers can enter the hub two hours early, at noon PT. Roblox hasn't announced any codes for The Hollow.

How The Hollow works
- Enter the event hub from Roblox once the event opens (2 p.m. PT on October 22).
- Explore the day's maze. Every day brings a new layout to navigate while you look for clues.
- Evade the monsters. A new monster enters the game each day, and the Hollow gets more unsettling as the event goes on.
- Complete quests to earn exclusive UGC (avatar items) and rewards that help you survive the next night.
- Come back daily. It's one continuous survival game across nine days, ending with a live finale for everyone on October 31.
Roblox creators including LimaMosca, KreekCraft, Bundun and SirDapper play inside the Hollow on livestreams every day, uncovering clues and helping players through.
Rewards and avatar items
- Quest rewards: exclusive UGC items and in-event rewards, earned by completing quests in the Hollow. Roblox hasn't published the full reward list; collect everything before noon PST on November 2.
- Marketplace items (paid, limited time): Halloween avatar items in the Roblox Marketplace, including the Hollow Horseman, dozens of exclusive items and new seasonal makeup looks.
- Roblox Plus extras: early hub access at noon PT on October 22, an exclusive profile frame and background, and an item launcher for gifting items to other players during the event. Plus subscribers keep the event theme after the finale.
Only collect rewards inside the official event. Sites or videos offering "free Hollow items" for your password or a download are scams.
