The Hollow Roblox event: start time, access and nine nights

Roblox schedules The Hollow’s public launch for October 22, 2026 at 2 p.m. Pacific Time: 5 p.m. Eastern and 21:00 UTC. Roblox Plus members have a two-hour early-access window for the hub, beginning at noon Pacific. The public launch is therefore not a Plus-only event. These times follow Roblox’s October 21 announcement rather than older third-party schedules.

The event is a platform-wide Halloween survival experience built around a changing maze, quests and recognizable Roblox monsters. It is intended for eligible users aged nine and older in most regions. Availability can vary by region and account eligibility; an inaccessible entry is not automatically a broken device or a requirement to buy a subscription.

Roblox describes nine monsters over nine days, with a different threat bringing clues, quests and maze changes. Treat that as a reason to check the current hub instructions each day, not proof that one walkthrough will remain correct for the whole event. A route that avoids yesterday’s threat may not explain today’s objective.

The announced lineup draws from 99 Nights in the Forest, DOORS, Dandy’s World, Piggy, Scary Shawarma, Animal Hospital, Demonology, The Mimic and Warden. The named monsters include Deer, Seek, Twisted Dandy, Piggy, Inspector, Mimic, Biter, Hiachi and Overseer. This is a lineup, not a verified day-by-day assignment table. Do not infer release order from the sequence of names in a preview.

For a first visit, locate the current objective before entering the maze. Read what counts as completion and whether you need to return to a quest giver or claim screen. That is a general event-navigation recommendation; we have not completed unreleased quests or verified hidden item locations, so no supposed guaranteed shortcut is presented here.

The official announcement distinguishes rewards earned through participation from items sold in the Marketplace. Completing event objectives can award UGC and other event rewards, while the Hollow Horseman collection is a separate shopping offering. Seeing an item in promotional artwork does not establish that every visitor receives it for free.

Before working toward a particular item, check its current reward description and requirements inside the official event. If a page opens a purchase prompt, stop and read it rather than assuming it is a free claim step. Nothing in this guide requires spending Robux, purchasing Plus or visiting a third-party reward generator.

Plus also has advertised cosmetic and gifting benefits, but those should not be confused with the core public opening time. If you arrive before 21:00 UTC on October 22 without Plus, waiting for the public window is the appropriate first check. Reinstalling Roblox does not move an event’s scheduled start.

Roblox announces a live finale on the morning of October 31 and says rewards remain collectible until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2. The announcement does not supply a precise minute for the finale in the material checked here, so we do not invent one. Follow the current hub countdown or an updated official notice for that detail.

Keep the event’s end-of-story moment separate from its final reward-collection deadline. Before leaving your last session, review the claim screen and any unfinished requirements. The existence of a later collection window is not proof that every earlier monster quest can be replayed indefinitely.

Use Roblox’s official announcement and its linked event destinations, not an unofficial clone promising all rewards instantly. If you prefer a standalone cooperative horror experience outside this platform event, our Clean Crew guide covers its own game and update; its codes do not apply to The Hollow.
