The Hollow is Roblox’s 2026 platform-wide Halloween survival event. The hub opened on October 22, adds a new maze and monster across nine event days, reaches a live finale on October 31, and keeps rewards available until November 2 at noon PST. This hub gives you a safe route through the event without turning unconfirmed floor details into facts.

Follow the quest loopWhat The Hollow officially confirms
Roblox identifies The Hollow as a shared survival event available to Roblox and Roblox Select accounts, generally for players age 9 and older depending on region. The official experience is created by the verified Roblox Presents group. Its Place ID is 116463962153167, and the Games API maps it to Universe ID 10770728771.
The official event announcement confirms a different maze and monster each day for nine days. Players search for clues, avoid monsters, complete quests, and earn avatar rewards. It also names nine crossover monsters and their source games. It does not publish a complete set of floor maps, every puzzle answer, a fixed monster rotation, or the exact finale minute.
Use that distinction while playing. Dates, identities, and the nine source pairings are reliable planning anchors. A route discovered on one floor or server may not apply to another night. A livestream calendar can show when a creator enters the event, but it does not prove the maze unlock order.
A practical first-session route
Open the official Roblox experience and confirm the creator before joining. In the hub, take a minute to locate the maze or elevator entrance, the quest or Visit Games panel, the Tickets/shop area, and the badge redemption control. Interface labels can change, so use the visible current wording rather than relying on an old screenshot.
Choose one goal for the session. If you want the survival experience, enter the currently available maze and focus on learning its landmarks. If you want cross-experience rewards, open Visit Games and launch one displayed partner from the hub. If you already earned badges, check the redemption panel before starting another long task.
After every completion, verify the result in two places: the badge on your Roblox account and the corresponding state in The Hollow. Keep the experience name and time if one side updates and the other does not. That record is useful for the badge not registering guide and safer than repeating the same quest without knowing which step failed.
How the event sections fit together
The Quests hub covers objectives and transfers between experiences. It separates the nine official monster-source games from the changing Visit Games grid, because those are not guaranteed to be the same list. The Rewards hub separates quest UGC, badge records, Tickets, Roblox Plus benefits, and paid Marketplace items.
The Monsters hub is a lookup Dex for the confirmed names, source experiences, and official livestreams. It deliberately avoids importing a monster’s behavior from its home game into The Hollow. Recognizing Seek or Hiachi tells you the crossover identity; it does not automatically reveal the current maze AI.
Updates is the dated status page. Check it when a schedule, badge list, event description, or public event entry changes. Codes explains the current no-verified-code status and protects against similarly named games.
Maze preparation without spoilers
Treat each maze as a fresh observation problem. At entry, identify the return point and a landmark you can recognize from more than one direction. Move in short loops instead of making a single long chain of turns. When you find a clue, puzzle device, locked route, or relic, note its relationship to that landmark.
Stay aware of audio and flashing-light warnings in the connected horror experiences. Adjust Roblox volume, graphics, and accessibility settings before a timed section. If a floor is too dark, improving screen visibility is more useful than copying an unverified “always turn left” route.
When a monster appears, first learn what is visibly happening on the current server: what starts the chase, which spaces break contact, and whether the group can recover. Do not assume its source-game counters work here. Leave unsupported details out of your plan until you reproduce them.
Time and deadline rules that matter
Roblox says general access opened October 22 at 2 p.m. PT, while the experience description separately says “starts 3pm PT.” The safest reading is that the hub opening is confirmed and the 3 p.m. wording refers to an unspecified start moment. It should not be promoted into a daily reset time.
The live finale begins on the morning of October 31, but the Newsroom does not give its exact minute. Public event listings include creator sessions and a mystery event, yet Roblox has not formally identified every listing as the finale. Use the event schedule for exact confirmed versus tentative labels.
Rewards remain collectible until noon PST on November 2. Remember that the U.S. daylight-saving change occurs on November 1: noon PST is 20:00 UTC, not 19:00 UTC. Finish important claims early instead of relying on a last-minute server.
Common mistakes
- Joining a copycat place with the same words in its title. Verify the Place ID and creator.
- Treating a livestream order as the monster maze order. They are separate schedules.
- Assuming every official monster-source game is currently in Visit Games. Check the live grid.
- Spending Tickets based on a screenshot without confirming the current shop price and requirement.
- Repeating a completed quest before checking whether its badge exists on the account.
- Calling “no verified codes found” the same as “no rewards.” The event primarily uses quests and badges.
Sources and confidence
Event dates, the daily maze premise, the nine monster identities, Roblox Plus benefits, and the reward deadline are Official facts from Roblox. Current quest-panel locations, Ticket values, shop prices, and individual puzzle routes are Community reported unless the live UI or an official endpoint confirms them. Dynamic claims on this site are dated so you can decide when to recheck them.
