Every Halloween Event Live on Roblox Right Now: The Hollow, Adopt Me, Bloxburg and More
Roblox is running several Halloween events at once in 2026: the platform-wide survival crossover The Hollow, plus Adopt Me!'s Hauntlet minigame, Welcome to Bloxburg's Pumpkin Panic and Ghost Hunt, a Family Zone duck hunt, and a physical Robux tie-in at Target.
Roblox isn't running one Halloween event this year — it's running several at once. Alongside The Hollow, the platform-wide survival crossover that opened October 22, Roblox has also rolled seasonal events into Adopt Me!, Welcome to Bloxburg, and its own Family Zone safety hub, plus a physical Robux tie-in sold at Target. Here's a roundup of every Halloween activity confirmed live on Roblox right now, straight from Roblox's own October 21 newsroom announcement.
1. The Hollow: The Platform-Wide Headline Event
The biggest piece of Roblox's Halloween 2026 lineup is The Hollow, a platform-wide survival event that pulls monster characters from nine existing Roblox games into one shared hub. Players explore mazes together, hunting for clues while avoiding the monsters stalking the halls, with a new monster added roughly once a day in the run-up to a live finale on October 31.
Roblox confirmed the event opens at 2 p.m. PT on October 22 (noon PT for Roblox Plus subscribers, who get a two-hour early-access window), runs through the Halloween finale, and stays open for reward collection until noon PST on November 2. The nine crossover monsters come from 99 Nights in the Forest, DOORS, Dandy's World, Piggy, Scary Shawarma Kiosk, Animal Hospital, Demonology, The Mimic, and Warden.
Because The Hollow has enough confirmed detail to fill an article on its own — full schedule, every monster and its home game, creator livestreams, and the complete rewards list — we've broken all of that down separately in our dedicated guide to The Hollow's dates, monsters and rewards. The rest of this roundup covers the other events running at the same time that don't get nearly as much attention.
2. Family Zone: Duck Duck Halloween
Roblox's Family Zone — the hub built around parent-and-child activities and online-safety education — is running its own seasonal crossover called Duck Duck Halloween. According to Roblox, it's built around parents and kids searching together for costumed ducks, with online-safety concepts woven into the activity as they play. It's a lighter, younger-skewing counterpart to the horror-themed Hollow, aimed at families rather than players chasing UGC rewards.
3. Adopt Me!: The Hauntlet Returns
Adopt Me! is one of Roblox's longest-running and most-played experiences, built around collecting, raising, and trading virtual pets, and it regularly runs its own seasonal content independent of whatever the wider platform is doing. For Halloween 2026, Roblox confirmed the game is bringing back its Hauntlet minigame with new rewards and pets to collect during the event window — Roblox's own wording, "bringing back," confirms Hauntlet is a returning feature rather than a brand-new one this year, even though the newsroom post doesn't go into the minigame's mechanics.
Because Roblox's official rundown stops at that top-line summary, players chasing specific pet drops, minigame routes, or exact reward tiers should check Adopt Me!'s own in-game news feed for the day-by-day detail once each phase goes live, rather than relying on unofficial leak accounts.
4. Welcome to Bloxburg: Pumpkin Panic and Ghost Hunt
Welcome to Bloxburg, Roblox's life-simulation and house-building game, has its own Halloween event running in parallel to The Hollow. Roblox's announcement confirms it includes minigames called Pumpkin Panic and Ghost Hunt, both themed around the town's residents dealing with the holiday rather than the horror-crossover tone of The Hollow. As with Adopt Me!, Roblox's own newsroom post didn't publish full mechanics for either minigame, so the best source for exact objectives and rewards is Bloxburg's in-game event panel rather than outside guides.
Running a lighter, town-sim-flavored Halloween event in Bloxburg alongside the horror-themed Hollow is consistent with how Roblox has structured this year's lineup overall: one platform-wide event built for horror-game fans, and a set of smaller, tonally different events inside individual experiences for players who prefer their existing favorite game's own spin on the season.
5. Roblox Mini Pack: A Physical Tie-In at Target
Roblox's Halloween push also extends off-platform. A Roblox Mini Pack is currently sold at Target: each $20 pack contains 40 physical coins, and every coin can be redeemed in-game for 50 Robux. It's a retail tie-in rather than a seasonal event, but it's part of the same October push and gives players a way to pick up Robux alongside a physical collectible while they're shopping for Halloween.
6. Why Roblox Is Running Several Events at Once
Running one platform-wide crossover plus several game-specific tie-ins in the same window isn't unusual for Roblox's biggest seasonal pushes — the platform took the same layered approach with The Hunt earlier in 2026, pairing a shared cross-game event with individual experience updates rather than asking every creator to build around a single theme. The benefit for Roblox is reach: The Hollow pulls in players from nine specific horror communities at once, while the Adopt Me! and Bloxburg events keep two of the platform's largest standalone audiences engaged with content that fits each game's own identity instead of forcing a horror theme onto a life-sim or pet-collecting audience that may not want one. The Target Mini Pack tie-in extends that reach a step further, putting the Roblox brand in front of shoppers who may not already be active players.
7. How Roblox Plus Fits Into the Halloween Lineup
Roblox Plus, the platform's paid subscription tier, carries extra weight during this event window. Subscribers get the early-access window into The Hollow mentioned above, plus an exclusive profile frame, background, and an item-gifting launcher tied specifically to the event — and they keep the event's visual theme on their profile after the finale ends. That's on top of the private-server changes and wallet features Roblox has rolled into Plus elsewhere this year; see our coverage of the recent changes to Roblox Plus private servers and the wallet and app-publishing features announced at RDC 2026 for the broader picture of what the subscription now includes.
8. Who Can Take Part
Access varies slightly by event. Roblox states The Hollow is open to anyone with a Roblox or Roblox Select account and is aimed at players ages 9 and older in most regions, with exact thresholds varying by region — the same age-gating system covered in our explainer on Roblox's facial age estimation and chat tiers. Family Zone's Duck Duck Halloween, by contrast, is explicitly built for younger players alongside a parent, while Adopt Me! and Bloxburg's events follow each game's own existing age and account requirements rather than a Hollow-specific gate.
