Updated October 27, 2026, for U.S. players. If you are deciding how much of Roblox The Hollow to finish before Halloween, the safest plan is to clear all nine floors if you want the complete set of floor-based rewards. But there is an important distinction: Roblox has confirmed a nine-night event and an October 31 live finale; its public announcement does not say that every player must clear all nine floors just to attend the finale.
Roblox says reward collection continues until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026. That gives players a catch-up window after Halloween, but it is still smart to finish early enough to check that each reward actually appears in your inventory.
Quick answer: aim for all nine floors
The Hollow is built around nine monsters and nine daily maze encounters. If by “best rewards” you mean the fullest collection of floor rewards, plan to clear every floor and verify each item. A single successful run does not automatically mean you have collected every floor reward, and partner-game quests are separate from the hub’s relic floors.
What is not officially confirmed: the public Roblox announcement does not list a rule saying that all nine floors are required to enter or watch the October 31 finale. Treat that claim as unverified unless the in-game event board or a new official notice explicitly adds it.
What Roblox has confirmed
- Nine monsters over nine days: a new maze and monster appear each day.
- Live finale on October 31: Roblox says it begins in the morning, but its announcement does not give an exact start time.
- Reward deadline: players can keep collecting rewards until noon PST on November 2.
- Earned rewards: completing quests can unlock exclusive UGC and other rewards.
Use Roblox’s official The Hollow announcement as the source of truth for the event window and finale. Third-party guides can help with puzzles, but their daily schedules and reward labels should be checked against the live game.
Floor-by-floor checklist
As of October 27, current coverage reports that the event has reached Floor 6. Use this as a planning guide—not as a substitute for checking the elevator panel and reward board in your own server.
| Floor | Monster reported | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seek | Collect the puzzle pieces, solve the path puzzle, then return the relic. |
| 2 | Twisted Dandy | Think through the rotating-pillar puzzle before using the lever. |
| 3 | Biter | Read every gravestone before entering the symbols in the lock. |
| 4 | The Deer | Watch the tile sequence carefully before copying the path. |
| 5 | Hiachi | Rotate the mirrors until the light reaches the target. |
| 6 | Mimic from Animal Hospital | Follow the color recipe shown in your own run; another player’s sequence may differ. |
| 7–9 | Remaining encounters | Confirm each floor’s live status and reward in the hub when it becomes available. |
Roblox’s announcement confirms the nine-monster roster, but it does not publish a complete day-by-day unlock calendar. Floor order and specific puzzle walkthroughs above reflect current third-party reporting and should be treated accordingly.
Do you have to complete all nine floors in one sitting?
Roblox’s announcement does not state that the nine floors must be completed in one session. Current walkthroughs report that earlier floors remain available for catch-up, but check your own elevator menu instead of relying on an old screenshot. If you have limited time, finish the floor you are closest to completing, then work through the floors you have not cleared.
Remember that retrieving a relic is only part of the objective if the game asks you to bring it back to the elevator. Give yourself time for the escape, then check your badge and avatar inventory before moving on.
Floor rewards are different from partner-game quests
A hub-floor reward is tied to that floor’s relic objective. A partner-game quest is a separate activity in another Roblox experience. Completing one should not be treated as proof that you cleared a floor. Likewise, watching a creator stream or attending the finale should not be assumed to grant every item unless the event explicitly says so.
If you are saving for a ticket-shop item, read its current cost and requirements at the Concession Stand. If you want the full floor reward set, track each floor badge separately and verify the matching item is in your inventory.
Best strategy for U.S. players before October 31
- Audit your inventory first. Note which badges and avatar items you already own so you do not repeat completed runs.
- Finish the nearest objective. A completed relic run is better than repeatedly restarting a puzzle you have not learned.
- Use your own puzzle clues. Randomized layouts, symbols, and color recipes can make copied screenshots unreliable.
- Separate free floor items from partner quests. Confirm which task unlocks the specific accessory you want.
- Leave a time buffer. Do not rely on the last few minutes before November 2 at noon PST.
- Verify every claim. Check your badge and avatar inventory after the run; revisit the reward board if something is missing.
What about a finale-only reward?
At the time of this update, Roblox’s public announcement confirms the October 31 finale but does not publish a full finale reward checklist or say that all nine floor clears are a prerequisite for every finale item. Keep these goals separate:
- Full floor collection: work toward all nine floors and confirm each reward in your inventory.
- Finale participation: check Roblox’s official event page and in-game notices for the exact time and any participation instructions.
If Roblox later announces a special badge or item that requires nine clears, the live event board is where to verify it. Until then, do not treat an unofficial tracker as an official eligibility rule.
