Quick answer: Roblox has not published an official, verified Night 5 solo-clear leaderboard for The Hollow with player names and completion times. There is no reliable basis to claim a specific run is the world record. Players can compare their own attempts, but they should separate personal timing from verified leaderboard results.
Night 5 is drawing attention because The Hollow adds a new maze and monster across its nine-night Halloween event. Roblox’s official announcement confirms the event’s daily maze structure, nine featured horror-game monsters, and reward window through November 2. It does not publish a timed speedrun ranking or a standard timing method.

Is there an official Night 5 clear-time leaderboard?
As of this update, we could not verify an official Roblox leaderboard listing the fastest solo Night 5 completions. A video title saying “world record,” a timer shown in a stream, or a community spreadsheet is not the same as an official result. Treat those as individual claims unless the run includes clear evidence of the start point, finish condition, full uninterrupted gameplay, and exact event version.
This distinction matters because players may time different things: the whole floor, only the maze, the relic route, or the full objective including returning to the hub. Those times cannot be fairly ranked together.
How to measure a fair solo Night 5 run
- Use one start point. Decide whether timing begins when the floor loads or when the player first gains control. Use the same rule for every attempt.
- Define the finish. For a full clear, include every required objective and the return/claim step if the challenge requires it. Do not compare a maze-only split with a full quest clear.
- Record one uninterrupted attempt. Keep the HUD and objective state visible where possible. If the recording has a cut, disclose it rather than presenting the time as fully verified.
- Record the conditions. Note solo versus group play, platform, server conditions, route, and date. An event update may change a route or objective.
- Repeat the route. One lucky run can be an outlier. Compare several clean attempts and use the median time for a more realistic personal benchmark.
What fast solo players should prioritize
Learn the objective before sprinting
Moving quickly without knowing the current objective can cost more time than careful movement. Read the on-screen task, identify the next required interaction, and avoid detours that do not help complete the floor.
Memorize safe landmarks, not just turns
Remember distinctive rooms, props, and intersections so you can recover if a chase or camera angle disrupts your route. A route based on landmarks is usually easier to repeat than one based only on turn counts.
Keep the camera and controls consistent
Frequent camera corrections, accidental jumps, and changing sensitivity mid-run can introduce avoidable mistakes. Use settings you can control reliably and practice the same movement pattern before timing an attempt.
Do not reset blindly
Reset only when the run is clearly lost or the rules you are following permit it. If the goal is a full completion rather than a speedrun, staying alive and finishing the objective may be more valuable than chasing a speculative record.

| Run 2 | — | Yes / No | Route and mistakes |
| Run 3 | — | Yes / No | Route and mistakes |
| Run 4 | — | Yes / No | Route and mistakes |
| Run 5 | — | Yes / No | Route and mistakes |
How to spot an unreliable “fastest run” claim
- No visible start or finish condition.
- Edited footage, unexplained jumps, or missing sections.
- A group-assisted run described as solo.
- A time measured on a different floor or event version.
- No original recording or clear date.
- A screenshot of a timer without gameplay context.
These warning signs do not automatically prove cheating; they mean the claim is not independently verifiable from the evidence shown.
What players should know about the event deadline
Roblox says players can continue collecting The Hollow rewards until noon Pacific time on November 2, 2026. The official announcement also describes a live finale on October 31. This gives players time to work on rewards, but it does not establish a Night 5 speedrun ranking. Check the live hub for the current objective and eligibility before starting a timed attempt.
Bottom line: the fastest verified Night 5 solo time remains unconfirmed
There is currently no official Night 5 clear-time leaderboard we can cite as a verified ranking. The most useful approach is to record full, comparable solo runs and publish the rules alongside the time. Until a transparent leaderboard or independently reviewable run appears, any exact “fastest player” claim should be treated as unverified.
Frequently asked questions
What is the fastest Night 5 solo clear time in The Hollow?
No official, verified public ranking was found for this update, so an exact record time cannot responsibly be stated.
Can I compare a YouTube run with my own time?
Yes, if both runs use the same start and finish rules and cover the same objectives. Look for uninterrupted footage and the date/version of the run.
Does a solo clear count if the timer stops before returning to the hub?
Only if the rules for that specific challenge define the finish that way. For fair comparisons, state whether the time includes the return and reward step.
When does The Hollow reward window close?
Roblox’s official announcement gives the reward deadline as noon Pacific time on November 2, 2026. Check the live experience for any in-game changes.
