Quick answer: You can play both DOORS: The Candy Vault and Roblox’s platform-wide The Hollow, but treat them as separate events. The Candy Vault is listed through November 8 in U.S. Pacific time, while The Hollow’s reward-claim window ends November 2 at noon Pacific time. If you still need The Hollow’s limited rewards, plan around that earlier deadline.
The two Halloween experiences launched around the same time, which made them easy to confuse. They are not the same game mode: DOORS has its own Candy Vault event, while The Hollow is a Roblox-wide survival hub featuring nine horror-game monsters over nine nights. A shared Halloween season does not prove that progress, badges, or rewards transfer between them.
What is live right now?
The official DOORS page by LSPLASH lists THE CANDY VAULT — “YOU’RE INVITED!” Its event listing gives an end time of November 9 at 05:55 UTC, equivalent to Sunday, November 8 at 9:55 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Event listings can change, so use the live Roblox page as the final check.
Roblox’s official The Hollow announcement describes a nine-night survival event with a different monster appearing each day. It names Seek from DOORS among the featured monsters, but that crossover appearance is not evidence that Candy Vault itself is a Hollow quest. Roblox says The Hollow’s live finale is planned for October 31 and rewards can be collected until noon Pacific time on November 2.
The deadlines that matter most
| Event | Current schedule | Best planning move |
|---|---|---|
| DOORS: The Candy Vault | Listed through Nov. 8 at 9:55 p.m. Pacific (converted from 05:55 UTC on Nov. 9) | Check the official DOORS event page and verify in-game badge requirements. |
| The Hollow rewards | Claim window closes Nov. 2 at noon Pacific | Prioritize unfinished quests and claim eligible rewards before the cutoff. |
| The Hollow live finale | Planned for the morning of Oct. 31; check the official hub for the latest time | Do not confuse the finale with the later reward deadline. |
For U.S. players, the practical difference is the deadline: The Hollow’s reward window closes earlier. If you have limited gaming time, check the Hollow hub first for unfinished objectives, then spend the remaining time in DOORS. This is a planning suggestion, not a promise that either event can be completed in a fixed number of minutes.
How to decide what to play first
Choose The Hollow first if you still need its limited rewards
Open the official The Hollow experience and read the quests shown in the hub. Focus on objectives you have not finished, confirm each reward condition, and make sure earned items are actually claimed. The announced reward window runs until November 2 at noon Pacific, so do not leave claiming until the final minutes.
Choose Candy Vault first if you want a DOORS run
Enter through the official DOORS page and follow the instructions shown in the live game. The public listing confirms the event name and schedule, but not every room, item, badge, or reward requirement. Treat walkthroughs promising guaranteed secret rewards cautiously unless they match the current version and cite LSPLASH. If the event prompt does not appear, refresh the official page, try a new server, and check for a developer update.
Play both with a simple cutoff
If you want to sample both, set a stop time before you start. First, finish any time-sensitive Hollow reward objective. Then switch to DOORS and explore the Candy Vault. If you are playing with friends, agree on which event comes first before joining a server; otherwise, your session can disappear into planning.
Are rewards shared between DOORS and The Hollow?
Do not assume so. The Hollow is a platform-wide event with its own hub, monsters, quests, and UGC rewards. Candy Vault is listed separately under DOORS. Roblox confirms that Seek is featured in The Hollow, but the official announcement does not establish that completing Candy Vault automatically awards Hollow progress—or that a Hollow quest unlocks a DOORS item.
Count a task as shared only if the live Hollow hub or an official developer announcement explicitly says it qualifies. This helps avoid wasting time on rumors while the Hollow reward deadline approaches.
Five checks before you join
- Bookmark the official DOORS experience and confirm Candy Vault is still available.
- Open The Hollow hub to check remaining quests and reward claims.
- Keep October 31 (finale) and November 2 (Hollow reward deadline) separate on your calendar.
- Check badge and item requirements inside the live experience instead of relying on unverified codes.
- Never enter your Roblox password, verification code, or session cookie on a third-party “free UGC” or “free Robux” page.
Official social updates
For schedule changes, check the creator’s official experience listing first. The embedded DOORS account timeline is a convenience, not a substitute for live in-game details; social posts may load only when the storefront permits the X widget.

Bottom line
Both Halloween experiences can fit into the same week, but their deadlines are not interchangeable. The Hollow’s limited reward window closes November 2 at noon Pacific, while the Candy Vault listing runs later. If you have unfinished Hollow rewards, prioritize those first; then enjoy DOORS without treating rumors as confirmed instructions.

Roblox says players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific time on November 2, 2026. Claim rewards before the cutoff rather than waiting for the final minutes.

Refresh the official DOORS page, try joining a new server, and look for an LSPLASH update. Avoid third-party reward pages that ask for your login details.
