The Hollow is Roblox’s nine-day Halloween survival event from the verified Roblox Presents group. This page keeps dated official changes, public API observations, the October 31 finale window, and the November 2 reward deadline in one place. It does not create daily thin posts or treat an old announcement as current server state.
Current status snapshot
The experience description also includes “It starts 3pm PT” after the 2:00 p.m. opening line. Roblox has not clarified in the checked sources exactly what begins at 3:00 p.m., so this page does not turn that phrase into a daily reset time.
What changed by October 25
The official event API had ten public creator-event entries: nine named monster streams and one question-mark event on finale day. The official Badge API returned 22 enabled badge names in a later October 25 check, more than an earlier same-day response. Those changing counts show why a check date matters.
Roblox’s announcement confirms the event framework, monster-source pairings, exclusive quest UGC, Roblox Plus benefits, Marketplace items, finale date, and last collection time. It does not publish fixed Ticket values, shop prices, exact maze layouts, or a dated maze-monster order.
Use Event Schedule for time-zone planning, Monster Livestreams for the current official API list, and Rewards for the distinction between quest items, Plus benefits, and paid Marketplace products.
Official timeline
2026-10-25 - Public event and badge records rechecked
Type: Status review
The Hollow’s Universe, root Place, verified group creator, current public event feed, and enabled badge feed were rechecked. The Virtual Events API returned ten public entries. The later Badge API response returned 22 enabled names, demonstrating that the event data can expand while it is running.
- Creator streams are appointments and do not prove the daily maze order.
- Badge names prove official records, not a Ticket price or unlock method.
- Current shop stock, maze state, and badge redemption still need the live interface.

2026-10-24 - Dynamic quest flow observed in the live hub
Type: Field observation
A dated walkthrough with current interface images showed Visit Games task tiles, a quest panel, Redeem Badges, and a Tickets shop. It recorded eight visible partner entries at that moment and reported a Ticket return that conflicted with a tile prompt. This is useful evidence of the interface flow, but not a permanent game count or fixed currency rate.
- Check the hub’s current Visit Games list rather than relying on a claimed total of 36, 42, or 44.
- Compare the Ticket balance before and after redemption.
- Use the Quest Guide for the reversible completion workflow.

2026-10-23 - Players reported Ticket and item grant failures
Type: Issue watch
Roblox Developer Forum reports described tickets, items, or UGC failing to grant after progress. A report proves that a player encountered a problem; it does not establish a universal outage, permanent bug, or guaranteed local fix.
- Verify the objective, Roblox badge, hub redemption, balance change, and inventory as separate checkpoints.
- Save the exact time, server, item, and badge name before retrying.
- Follow Badge Not Registering for safe diagnostics.

2026-10-22 - The Hollow opened and Plus early access began
Type: Launch
Roblox announced general hub access at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Active Roblox Plus subscribers received access at noon PT, two hours earlier, along with an exclusive profile frame, profile background, and an item launcher for gifting during the event.
- Plus benefits are separate from free quest UGC and paid Marketplace items.
- The announcement says active subscribers can keep the event theme after the finale.
- A live product page should be checked for current subscription terms.

2026-10-31 - Finale scheduled for the morning
Type: Upcoming official date
Roblox says players will encounter a showdown with the Hollow Horseman during a morning finale on October 31. The checked announcement does not give a minute. The event API separately lists Piggy × KreekCraft at 16:30 UTC and a mystery entry at 17:30 UTC; this page does not claim which one is the complete finale.
- Recheck the first-party event surface for a final start time.
- Keep the public stream windows separate from maze and gameplay start times.
- Do not infer the mystery host or reward from question marks.

2026-11-02 - Reward collection closes at noon PST
Type: Upcoming deadline
Roblox says players can keep collecting rewards until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2. That is 20:00 UTC after the daylight-saving transition. Complete important claims before the final hour so a delayed badge or inventory grant can be documented.
- A badge and a final avatar item are different checkpoints.
- Record the current balance and inventory before claiming.
- After the deadline, recheck whether the hub remains accessible rather than assuming it does.

How status is accepted here
An official update needs a dated first-party Roblox page or public API and a clear player impact. A current field observation can explain the live interface when Roblox has not documented it, but its dynamic values remain labeled and dated. Player issue reports establish a troubleshooting signal, not a universal status.
The canonical status remains on this page instead of spawning a route for each date. Older entries stay visible so a past launch, stream, or deadline claim cannot silently replace the current answer.
Next checks
The fields that still need live verification are today’s maze and monster, the exact reset behavior, current Visit Games tiles, objective wording, Ticket values, shop prices and stock, badge-to-item mappings, and whether reported grant issues are resolved. The October 31 finale’s exact minute and the event’s accessibility after November 2 also remain unconfirmed.
No text-code redemption path was verified in the official sources checked October 25. Code status belongs on the single Codes page, not in a separate update route.
