Roblox Halloween Event 2026 - The Hollow Start Date, Games List, and Every Live Event

The Hollow is the 2026 Roblox Halloween event, and it starts on October 22, 2026. Nine games will take part, but their names are still blurred in the official teaser. Below, you will find the start date, every confirmed and rumored game, the likely end date, leaked items, and a dated list of every game running its own Halloween event right now. Let's follow LDShop and get you ready before day one.

Quick answer: The Hollow launches October 22, 2026, reportedly at 11:00 AM PDT. No games are officially confirmed yet. Piggy, Doors, 99 Nights in the Forest, and Dandy's World are the strongest leads. If the wait feels long, our list of games when bored will keep you busy until launch.

The Hollow Halloween Event Games List: Confirmed and Rumored

No studio has confirmed participation yet. We ranked every candidate by the strength of its evidence, not by popularity alone.

Game	Evidence	Chance
Piggy	Silhouette in the trailer, Haunt 2024 veteran	Very high
Doors	Its Candy Vault update moved to October 22, Haunt 2024 veteran	Very high
99 Nights in the Forest	Characters in the trailer, Halloween content already live	Very high
Dandy's World	Character spotted in the trailer	High
Keys	Haunt 2024 veteran, name fits a blurred slot	Medium
Flee the Facility	Haunt 2024 veteran, popular community pick	Medium
+1 Speed Keyboard Escape	Named in early leaks, joined a past event	Low
Dead Rails, Dress to Impress, Adopt Me!	Popularity-based guesses only	Low

The official post said "you already know some of them." That line points straight at returning Haunt 2024 games, which is why Keys and Flee the Facility belong on the list. Notice how many leads are horror or survival titles. If that style suits you, our picks for the best survival games make great practice.

 

Decoding the "Nine Names" Teaser

The October 14 post hid each game behind blocks. The block counts read 4, 5, 4, 5, 9, 13, 4, 6, and 7. Count characters with spaces, and several leads fit perfectly:

• 9 blocks: "99 Nights"
• 13 blocks: "Dandy's World"
• 5 blocks: "Piggy" and "DOORS"
• 4 blocks: "Keys"

This is our own reading, not a confirmation. Still, five clean matches feel like more than coincidence.

 

When Does The Hollow Halloween Event End?

The end date is still unannounced. Some sites say November 9, while others say November 5.

Here is a better clue. The Doors developer lists The Candy Vault from October 22 to November 8. Piggy's Frightful Forest map also runs until November 8. When two leading games end on the same day, the platform event often closes alongside them. Plan around November 8 or 9.

The "nine nights" line adds one more angle. October 22 sits exactly nine nights before Halloween. One game could unlock each night, so log in daily instead of grinding everything on launch day.

 

How The Hollow Halloween Event Was Teased

• September 27: A Riddling Skull decal appeared in the winners' area of the Hunt finale.
• October 8: Three cryptic posts went out, each three hours and one minute apart.
• October 10: A 29-second trailer revealed the name and the October 22 date.
• October 14: The "nine names, nine nights" post confirmed the game count.

 

Leaked Items Tied to the Halloween Event

Trackers spotted two hidden catalog items this week. Neither has an official link to The Hollow yet.

• Pumpkin gear: Listed under the Gear category, which rarely gets new items now. Its function is unknown.
• Flaming headless dynamic head: Reportedly named the Squash Buckler, with fire particles in place of a head.

Hidden uploads usually wait for a planned release. They could be event rewards, but they could also be paid items. If they land as paid items, a quick Roblox top up before October 22 means you will not miss them on release day. Ignore anyone selling "early access" to these items. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

 

Every Roblox Game Halloween Event Live in October 2026

You do not need to wait for October 22. These dates come from each developer's own event listing.

Game	Event	Dates (ET)
Piggy	Fright Night, Season 9	Oct 1 to Nov 1
Piggy	Frightful Forest map	Oct 10 to Nov 8
Dandy's World	Halloween Event	Oct 2 to Nov 6
Adopt Me!	Halloween Event	Oct 3 to Oct 31
Horse Life	Halloween Event	Oct 9 to Nov 6
RIVALS	RIVALSWEEN	Oct 16 to Nov 6
Evade	Halloween Event	Oct 16 to Nov 20
Dress to Impress	Halloween Update	Oct 17 to Nov 7
Fisch	FischFright 3	Oct 17 to Nov 9
99 Nights in the Forest	Halloween Begins	Starts Oct 17
Doors	The Candy Vault	Oct 22 to Nov 8
Brookhaven RP	Halloween	Oct 23 to Nov 6
Family Zone and Duck Duck	Free Duck-o-Lantern head	Until Nov 4

Adopt Me! ends first, on October 31, so prioritize it. Our Adopt Me Halloween guide covers every pet and Candy Corn method.

Note the Duck-o-Lantern deadline too. Some sites list November 8, but the experience page itself says November 4. Trust the in-game date.

 

Past Roblox Halloween Events Compared

Event	Year	Games	What Stood Out
The Haunt	2024	20+	Axbury Manor hub, Headless Horseman villain
Halloween Spotlight	2025	31	Runes and Keys per game, ended November 3
The Hollow	2026	9	Fewer games, "nine nights" structure

The drop from 31 games to nine is the biggest change. Fewer games usually means longer, deeper quests in each one. Expect tougher tasks than last year's quick badge grabs. RIVALS is not a horror game, but shooters have joined past events before. Warm up with these top shooter games in case one sneaks into the lineup.

 

How to Prepare for The Hollow Halloween Event

• Practice the top leads: Run a few Piggy chapters and early Doors floors now.
• Start the 99 Nights Halloween update: Its new content went live this weekend, so you can learn it early.
• Build a squad: Co-op tasks appear often in platform events.
• Clear free rewards first: Grab the Duck-o-Lantern before November 4.
• Mix in calmer games: Horror marathons wear you out. Break them up with relaxing simulation games like Fisch between quests.
• Watch for early access: Some past events gave subscribers early entry. Nothing confirms that for The Hollow.

 

Conclusion

The Hollow looks like the most focused Roblox Halloween event in years. We know the date, the nine-game count, and the strongest candidates. Developer listings also point to a November 8 or 9 finish. While you wait, play the live game events, practice Piggy and Doors, and claim the free items on offer. When October 22 arrives, you will be ready for every night of The Hollow.
