Quick answer: To complete The Hollow’s Floor 7 pumpkin torch puzzle, find the puzzle room, take the torch from the burning brazier, light all four pumpkins scattered through the maze, then carry the relic back to the elevator while avoiding The Inspector. This route is reported by current walkthroughs, but Roblox has not published an official step-by-step solution. The Candy Corn Rune Antlers badge exists in The Hollow’s official badge records; confirm your reward in the live hub and inventory.
Floor 7 puts a straightforward objective inside a maze that can punish players who rush: find the torch, locate four pumpkins, and get back to the elevator alive. The challenge is less about memorizing a fixed route than keeping track of the elevator and not getting turned around while The Inspector is nearby.
What is confirmed—and what is still a reported walkthrough?
Roblox’s official announcement confirms that The Hollow is a nine-night Halloween survival event featuring monsters from nine horror experiences. Roblox names The Inspector from Scary Shawarma Kiosk in the event lineup. The official announcement also says the live finale is planned for the morning of October 31 and that players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific time on November 2.
The exact Floor 7 puzzle sequence—taking a torch, lighting four pumpkins, then carrying a relic to the elevator—is described in current third-party walkthroughs. We found no official Roblox step-by-step page confirming every interaction. Treat the route below as a practical reported guide and follow the live prompts if your session behaves differently.
Floor 7 puzzle: step-by-step route
1. Enter Floor 7 and remember the elevator
Open the official The Hollow experience by Roblox Presents and use the hub elevator to enter Floor 7. Before exploring, note the elevator room’s position and any distinctive corridor or doorway nearby. The maze route and puzzle-room location may differ between runs, so do not rely on a fixed number of turns copied from another player.
2. Find the puzzle room and collect the torch
Search the maze for the room containing a burning brazier. Current walkthroughs report that you can approach it and press E to take the torch. Do this before searching for the pumpkins: the torch is the tool needed for the next part of the puzzle.
3. Light all four pumpkins
With the torch equipped, search the maze for four unlit pumpkins. Walk close to each pumpkin and press E to light it, following the interaction prompt shown in your session. The reported guides say pumpkin positions are randomized, so the same route may not work for every player. Keep count as you go and check whether the game indicates how many remain.
- Search side rooms and corridor branches methodically instead of repeatedly crossing the same central area.
- Use visual landmarks to remember which branches you have already checked.
- Do not assume a pumpkin is missing just because it is not at the location shown in a video.
- Watch for The Inspector while interacting; stop and move to safety if it closes in.
4. Find the relic and return to the elevator
Walkthroughs report that the relic appears after all four pumpkins are lit. Pick it up, then retrace your route to the elevator. Solving the puzzle is not the same as finishing the run: make it back to the elevator with the relic and look for the game’s completion or reward confirmation.
How to avoid losing progress to The Inspector
The Inspector is part of the event’s confirmed monster lineup, but a universal safe route or guaranteed chase pattern has not been verified. Instead of trusting claims that one corridor is always safe, focus on reducing avoidable mistakes:
- Keep your route simple. Check one branch at a time and remember the way back.
- Do not over-search a completed area. Once you have checked a corridor thoroughly, move on unless the counter or objective suggests something remains.
- Prioritize the objective over speed. A fast attempt that ends in a reset wastes more time than a careful run.
- Use only in-game mechanics. Avoid third-party scripts, exploit tools, or sites promising free items in exchange for account details.
How to confirm you received Candy Corn Rune Antlers
Current Floor 7 guides associate the pumpkin puzzle with Candy Corn Rune Antlers and its matching badge. Roblox’s badge records can confirm that a badge exists, but a badge name by itself does not prove that every player’s avatar item has been delivered successfully. After returning to the elevator:
- Wait for any completion message or reward animation.
- Open your Roblox inventory or Avatar Editor and look for Candy Corn Rune Antlers.
- Check the event hub’s badge or reward panel if the item is not visible immediately.
- If it still appears missing, capture screenshots of the completed objective and your inventory before reporting the issue through Roblox support.
Do not pay another player to “unlock” the item, and never give anyone your password or session cookie.
U.S. event deadline: do not confuse the finale with the reward cutoff
Roblox’s newsroom says The Hollow’s live finale is planned for the morning of October 31, 2026. It separately says players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific time on November 2. Those are two different milestones. If you are still chasing Candy Corn Rune Antlers, check the elevator and the live hub rather than assuming the event closes immediately after the finale.
