The headline change: the event window closes on November 2
The Hollow is Roblox's platform-wide Halloween 2026 survival event, and the change that hits invested players hardest is not a balance patch at all. It is a calendar. Roblox announced The Hollow through its official newsroom on October 21, 2026, and the event opened October 22 at 2 p.m. PT, running through November 2. The Roblox Wiki entry for the event confirms the same start and end dates and notes it was first teased on September 27, 2026. For anyone who has built a Ticket routine around the hub and the 44 participating experiences, that end date is the real nerf: every floor, quest, and shop rotation stops paying out when the event closes.
Roblox describes the format as nine monsters over nine nights. Each night adds a new maze floor in the hub, and older floors stay open, so a late start does not lock you out of earlier content. Active Roblox Plus subscribers can enter the hub early, at noon PT, ahead of the full event start, and receive an exclusive profile frame and background plus an exclusive item launcher they can use to gift items to other players during the event.
Three player builds, three different impacts
The Hollow does not have character classes, but the 44 participating games are split into three groups, and each group rewards a different kind of invested player.
- The Quest Build (26 Outskirts side-quest games). Most Outskirts quests pay 20 Tickets plus a badge. This is the highest yield per quest documented for the event, and it is the routine that gets hardest to justify once the window shortens.
- The Horror Build (9 Nightly Haunts and 9 Roaming The Hollow games). DOORS, Dandy's World, Flee the Facility and AOONI Nightmare pay 10 Tickets plus an item instead. These four experiences trade raw Ticket income for a direct avatar item, which changes the math from accumulation to collection.
- The Hub Build (maze floors and the hub shop). Clearing each night's maze floor in the hub is one of three documented ways to earn free avatar items, alongside event quests and items caught from ghost launchers.
The income loop: direction of change and the figures that matter
Nothing in the official announcement documents a reduction to per-quest payouts, so the loop itself is unchanged. The direction of change is time, and the figures to plan around are the ones the event actually lists. Outskirts quests pay 20 Tickets plus a badge. The four named horror games pay 10 Tickets plus an item. The hub shop lists the Haunted Harvest Crown at 20 Tickets and Gourdlord: The Entangled at 100 Tickets. Against those prices, Gourdlord costs the equivalent of five full-paying Outskirts quests or ten of the item-paying horror quests, before any other spending.
Rebuild or tweak: your Ticket routine
No rebuild is required. The floors do not disappear as new nights open, and the shop prices are fixed rather than escalating. What needs adjusting is the order of operations. If Gourdlord: The Entangled is your target, the 100 Ticket price makes the 20 Ticket Outskirts quests the efficient path, and the 10 Ticket item quests are best treated as item pickups that happen to fund the gap. If you are collecting rather than saving, the horror quartet is where the direct items sit.
Adaptation plan for the remaining nights
Work backwards from November 2. Run the Outskirts quests first while the most nights remain, bank Tickets, and only then decide whether Gourdlord: The Entangled or the 20 Ticket Haunted Harvest Crown is the better spend. Clear each night's new maze floor as it opens, since the hub floor is one of the three documented free-item routes and there is no reason to defer it while older floors stay open. Keep the launcher route in mind too: four shoulder pets fall from ghost launchers, and those launchers are used by Roblox Plus subscribers, Star Creators, developers and Roblox admins, so watching for a launch is a passive way to pick up an item you cannot buy directly.
What spenders should hold off buying this week
Roblox says new and familiar Halloween-themed avatar items are on the Marketplace for a limited time, including the Hollow Horseman, dozens of exclusive avatar items and new seasonal seasonal makeup looks. A community price guide lists the Hollow Horseman at 31,000 Robux, the Bloodshot Ruby Eye at 5,000 Robux and the Ghostlight Pumpkin Bucket at 500 Robux. Before spending Robux, finish the free side of the ledger: Ticket quests, maze floors and launcher drops are all free routes, and the free hub shop items cost 20 and 100 Tickets. The order that protects your wallet is free first, Robux second, and only with days left on the clock to confirm you still want the item.
Q: When does The Hollow end?
The event opened October 22, 2026 at 2 p.m. PT and runs through November 2, 2026, according to the Roblox newsroom announcement and the Roblox Wiki event entry. Roblox Plus subscribers could enter the hub from noon PT ahead of the full start.
Q: How many games are part of The Hollow?
Roblox states the event features nine well-known horror games, and the event breakdown counts 44 participating experiences in total: 9 Nightly Haunts, 9 Roaming The Hollow games and 26 Outskirts side-quest games.
Q: Are there any codes for The Hollow right now?
No rewards can be claimed yet for The Hollow. There are currently none to redeem, and this page is monitored and updates the moment codes drop.
Bottom line
The Hollow rewards planning more than raw hours. Prioritise the 20 Ticket Outskirts quests, clear each night's maze floor while older floors stay open, treat the four item-paying horror games as collection stops, and hold your Robux until the free routes are exhausted. Everything documented ends November 2.
