Roblox The Hollow is a seasonal maze event built around a simple but appropriately alarming premise: enter a maze, search for clues and rewards, and avoid a rotating cast of enemies drawn from Roblox horror games. It begins on Thursday, October 22, 2026, with a nine-day lineup of pursuing monsters leading into a Halloween live finale on October 31.
The finale is not the event’s finish line. The Hollow is scheduled to remain playable until Monday, November 2, meaning players should still have time to enter the maze and earn its rewards after Halloween. However, there are no indicated gameplay changes following the October 31 live event.
Some details remain deliberately foggy. Specific rewards and the exact requirements for earning them have not yet been outlined. What is confirmed is the central rhythm: a separate Roblox experience, an ongoing maze, clues and rewards to hunt down, and one additional deadly foe introduced each day.
Roblox The Hollow start time
The Hollow opens on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at the following times:
- 2 p.m. PDT
- 5 p.m. EDT
- 10 p.m. BST
Roblox Plus Subscribers receive access two hours earlier. That early window is the only confirmed subscriber-specific benefit; it should not be assumed to include exclusive rewards, extra maze content, or any other advantage.
Players should distinguish between the launch, the Halloween finale, and the overall end date. The launch opens The Hollow and begins the daily enemy rotation. The October 31 live event is the Halloween centerpiece. The maze and its reward opportunities then continue through November 2.
Every confirmed daily enemy
The event’s most notable feature is its crossover-style roster. Rather than using a single villain throughout, The Hollow brings in recognizable threats from nine Roblox horror experiences. Each day adds a new foe to stalk players in the maze.
- Day 1 — The Deer from 99 Nights in the Forest
- Day 2 — Seek from DOORS
- Day 3 — Twisted Dandy from Dandy’s World
- Day 4 — Piggy from Piggy
- Day 5 — The Inspector from Scary Shawarma Kiosk
- Day 6 — Mimic from Animal Hospital
- Day 7 — Biter from Demonology
- Day 8 — Hiachi from The Mimic
- Day 9 — The Overseer from Warden
The wording around the daily additions matters. A new enemy is said to join the maze each day, but the available information does not establish whether earlier enemies leave, remain active alongside later arrivals, or appear under separate conditions. Players looking to tackle a particular monster should avoid making assumptions about how the rotation will work until the event is live.

What players will do in the maze
The Hollow is its own Roblox experience rather than a limited mode embedded inside one of the featured games. Its core activity is maze exploration under pursuit: players navigate corridors, evade hostile characters, and search for clues and collectible rewards.
In this context, clues are items or information players are expected to locate while moving through the maze, although their exact purpose has not been confirmed. They may be part of the route through the event, its reward progression, or another objective system. Likewise, rewards are confirmed to be present, including spooky customization items, but the available details do not name individual items or explain their unlock conditions.
That uncertainty is useful to keep in mind before launch. There is no confirmed list of objectives, no verified route through the maze, and no published reward checklist yet. Players should be wary of treating speculative maps or alleged unlock methods as settled information before the event itself reveals how progression works.
Why daily participation appears important
The event’s nine-day structure is more than a themed calendar. Because the maze gains a new threat each day, checking in regularly is the clearest way to see every featured horror character in the context of The Hollow. The event is also framed around collecting clues and rewards, giving daily participation practical value even though the exact reward rules are not confirmed.
For players who cannot start immediately, the November 2 end date offers some breathing room after the Halloween finale. Still, waiting until the final days may mean encountering a more developed enemy roster, depending on whether added foes stay in the maze. That is not confirmed, but it is a sensible reason to start early if the goal is to learn the maze with fewer unknowns and track the event’s day-by-day changes.
A straightforward preparation plan is to note the opening time in your own time zone, enter when the event opens, and check the in-game objective information before committing to a long session. If rewards require repeated visits or a chain of clue-related tasks, early knowledge of that structure will matter more than rushing blindly into the corridors.
How the lineup reflects Roblox horror’s range
The Hollow’s roster combines established Roblox horror names with newer games. Piggy is among the long-running recognizable entries, while 99 Nights in the Forest and Animal Hospital represent newer games noted for challenging older horror favorites in popularity. That makes the event less like a celebration of one style of Roblox horror and more like a compact genre sampler.
The practical implication is that familiarity with one participating game may not automatically translate to another character’s presence in The Hollow. The event identifies each enemy and their original game, but it does not promise that their behavior, mechanics, or encounter rules will be reproduced exactly in the maze. Knowing the names and source games can help players recognize the daily lineup, yet the event’s own rules should take priority once available.
Players who want to get into the Halloween mood ahead of time can explore the listed games and become acquainted with the characters. That is preparation for the theme rather than a confirmed competitive advantage. The Hollow remains a separate experience with its own maze-focused setup.
What has not been confirmed yet
Several important questions will need answers once The Hollow is live:
- The full reward list and the appearance of the spooky customization items.
- The exact actions needed to earn each reward.
- Whether clues are required for progression, optional collectibles, or both.
- Whether enemies accumulate across the nine days or rotate in another way.
- Whether the October 31 live finale provides unique gameplay or rewards.
- Whether there are any final-day requirements before the event closes on November 2.
For now, the dependable plan is simple: The Hollow opens October 22, adds a horror-game enemy every day, holds a Halloween live event on October 31, and remains available until November 2.
