For U.S. Roblox players · Updated October 26, 2026 · By Shivam Das
Quick answer: Start with the shortest objectives you can confidently finish, not simply the game with the biggest player count. As of the latest published walkthrough checked for this guide, The Hollow’s Visit Games panel showed eight partner-game tiles with a 20-ticket reward each; a reported Tower Defense Simulator redemption paid 40 tickets. Objectives and rewards can change, so check your live panel and the Redeem Badges screen before spending time on a long quest.
If your goal is to earn The Hollow tickets efficiently, the key number is not the reward alone—it is the time you personally need to earn and redeem it. A 20-ticket quest that takes five minutes is a better time investment than a 20-ticket quest that takes half an hour. But public guides do not provide controlled, comparable completion times for every player, so this is a practical priority list based on reported task complexity, not a claim that every server will produce the same results.
What the ticket-to-time ratio actually means
Use this simple formula: tickets earned ÷ minutes spent = tickets per minute. If one objective gives 20 tickets and takes 10 minutes, that is 2 tickets per minute. If another gives 20 tickets and takes 20 minutes, it is 1 ticket per minute. Count the full trip: loading into the partner game, finding the event quest, completing it, returning to The Hollow, and redeeming the badge.
Do not treat a reward shown on a tile as tickets already added to your balance. The current reporting says players earn a badge in the partner game, then return to The Hollow and use the Redeem Badges panel to collect the ticket reward. Always check the counter after redeeming.
Best first picks: start with clear, finite objectives
The following order is a time-saving starting point, not a guaranteed speed-run ranking. Your skill, device, matchmaking, game updates and whether you have already made progress can change the result.
1. Clean Crew — a clearly stated collection target
The October 24 walkthrough from AllThingsHow reports a The Hollow objective in Clean Crew to bring a total of 12 Mulchpods back to Buddy. That is a concrete target you can evaluate quickly. The same report notes that the game offers Solo and Multiplayer options, so check whether a solo run or a team run is faster for you. Do not assume progress carries across runs unless your quest panel confirms it.
2. Sell Lemons — five sticker packs, but check the setup cost
The same guide reports that Sell Lemons asks players to open five sticker packs for a badge. The task has several steps: build the factory to make candy, trade candy for Spooky Coins, and spend the coins on stickers. This is not automatically the fastest option; it depends on how much of the game’s progression you have already completed and how quickly you can earn its currency.
3. Survive Overnight in a Mega Store — follow the cauldron clue
The October 24 report describes a cauldron objective involving three candy types found from glowing-eyed pumpkins. Because the reported clue requires collecting six of each type and then adding them to the cauldron, the run may take longer if the items are scattered or you need to learn the map. Read the riddle first and collect deliberately rather than wandering without a plan.
When Tower Defense Simulator may be worth prioritizing
AllThingsHow reported that the The Hollow tile promised 20 tickets for Tower Defense Simulator, while its completed Solar Requiem Night 1 (Easy) badge redeemed for 40 tickets in the event hub. That makes it a potentially high-value option in that reported state—but it is not a permanent guarantee. Verify the reward shown on your own Redeem Badges panel, and do not assume the 40-ticket result will apply to every account or remain unchanged.
For a fair comparison, record the time from launching the quest to seeing the ticket balance increase. If it takes 20 minutes to receive 40 tickets, the rate is 2 tickets per minute. If the event has changed the payout, calculate again using the number actually redeemed.
Quest comparison: what to try first
| Partner game | Reported objective | How to judge its time value |
|---|---|---|
| Clean Crew | Bring 12 Mulchpods to Buddy | Good first test if you can collect items efficiently; check whether progress carries over. |
| Sell Lemons | Open five sticker packs | Better if you already have access to candy and sticker progression. |
| Survive Overnight in a Mega Store | Fill and stir the cauldron using the event clue | Read the clue first; searching without a plan may add time. |
| Plus 1 Speed Keyboard Escape | Reach stage 11 in Hallo’World | Potentially slower for new players; test the route before committing to a long session. |
| Toons Universe | Progress through Candle Hollow floors | Check the milestone and whether the required floors fit your available time. |
| Tower Defense Simulator | Beat Solar Requiem Night 1 on Easy | Worth checking first because a 40-ticket redemption was reported; confirm your own payout. |
| Fisch and PARANORMAL | Objectives not confirmed in the October 24 walkthrough | Inspect the live event panel before spending time; do not mistake each game’s separate Halloween quest for The Hollow’s task. |
This comparison is based on a third-party walkthrough updated October 24, 2026, not a permanent official reward table. The Visit Games list and tasks may update during the event. Treat any row as provisional until you see the corresponding quest and reward in your own game.
Spend tickets according to the reward you actually want
The October 24 guide listed several shop prices: Flashlight at 20 tickets, Night Vision Goggles at 40, Radar Detector at 80, Gourdlord: The Entangled at 100, and Invisibility Cloak at 120. If those prices remain on your live shop, calculate how many quests you need before grinding. For example, a 100-ticket target takes five 20-ticket rewards, or fewer if a higher payout is available and confirmed.
Prioritize items you will use or genuinely want, rather than collecting tickets without a goal. Before finishing a long quest, check your current balance, the exact shop price and the remaining event window. Roblox says rewards can continue to be collected until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026; the live shop and event hub remain the place to confirm what is still claimable.
Three habits that improve your real ticket rate
- Start every quest from the Visit Games tile. Some guides report that a partner quest prompt appears only when you enter through The Hollow. If the event panel does not appear, return to the hub and use the tile.
- Track total elapsed time, not just gameplay time. Include loading, finding the objective, reconnecting and returning to redeem the badge.
- Redeem immediately after a successful badge. Return to The Hollow, open Redeem Badges, confirm the reward and check that your balance changed. Do not count an unredeemed badge as tickets already earned.
Official event details and useful guides
Roblox’s official announcement confirms The Hollow is a nine-night Halloween survival event with new monsters, mazes, clues and quests, and that players can continue collecting rewards until November 2.

Frequently asked questions
Which The Hollow game gives the most tickets?
In an October 24 walkthrough, Tower Defense Simulator reportedly redeemed for 40 tickets even though its Visit Games tile promised 20. Check the live Redeem Badges panel before assuming that payout is still available.
Do all participating games take the same amount of time?
No. The reported rewards may be similar, but quest complexity, your progress, loading times and skill can make completion times very different. Track your own minutes and redeemed tickets.
How do I calculate tickets per minute?
Divide the tickets actually redeemed by the total minutes spent on the quest, including travel and return to The Hollow. For example, 20 tickets in 10 minutes equals two tickets per minute.
Why did I finish a quest but not receive tickets?
Some reported quests award a badge in the partner game first. Return to The Hollow, open Redeem Badges and confirm the reward. If the badge or reward is missing, check the live quest instructions and allow the game to register completion.
Are DOORS, Piggy and 99 Nights in the Forest all Visit Games ticket quests?
Not necessarily. The October 24 Visit Games walkthrough lists eight partner tiles and notes that some famous horror games are separate from that specific ticket list. Check the current Visit Games panel instead of assuming every featured monster game pays tickets through the same route.
When is the final deadline to collect The Hollow rewards?
Roblox’s announcement says players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026. Confirm the event hub for any item-specific requirements and do not wait until the final hours.
Bottom line
The best ticket-to-time strategy is to test a clear, short objective first, track the full time cost, and redeem each badge before moving on. Clean Crew’s collection target and Sell Lemons’ five-pack goal are easy to understand, while Tower Defense Simulator is worth checking because a higher redemption was reported—but none is guaranteed to be the fastest for every player. The live Visit Games and Redeem Badges panels should make the final call.
