U.S. update — October 28, 2026, 7:48 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Roblox has confirmed two separate milestones for The Hollow: a live finale on the morning of October 31, and a later reward-collection deadline at noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2. Those are not the same cutoff. At this article’s timestamp, 113 hours and 12 minutes remained until the published reward deadline of November 2 at 12 p.m. PST (20:00 UTC).
Important countdown note: Roblox has not announced an exact start time for the October 31 finale—only that it begins in the morning. So an exact hour-by-hour finale countdown would be guesswork. The claim deadline, however, is published. The time calculation above is anchored to the timestamp shown in this update and changes as time passes.
The two dates every player should save
- Saturday, October 31 — live finale: Roblox says it begins in the morning. The exact start time has not been specified in the official announcement.
- Monday, November 2, noon PST — reward-collection deadline: Roblox says players can continue collecting rewards until this time. After the deadline, do not assume an unclaimed reward can still be collected.
The daylight-saving change matters for U.S. players. Most of the event’s October dates use Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC−7), but the United States switches back to standard time on November 1. The published November 2 deadline is therefore 12 p.m. PST / 3 p.m. EST / 20:00 UTC. Players outside the United States should convert from the UTC deadline rather than relying on a local countdown that may use a different clock setting.
Final claim checklist: do these before the deadline
1. Reopen The Hollow hub and inspect your current progress
Enter the official The Hollow experience and check the in-game objective, reward, or badge panels. Do not rely only on a third-party checklist: event menus and reward availability can change, and a guide may describe an earlier snapshot.
2. Finish any remaining maze objectives you can still access
Look at each floor or activity shown as available in your own hub. Confirm that the objective registers as complete before leaving. Roblox’s announcement confirms nine monsters over nine days, but it does not provide a complete item-by-item walkthrough or promise that every reported community route is correct.
3. Check partner-game quests separately
The Hollow connects to several Roblox horror experiences. If you started a quest in a partner game, open that game and verify its own quest or badge status. Do not assume entering a partner game alone completes a quest, and do not treat a third-party guide’s unverified reward name as an official unlock instruction.
4. Verify badges and avatar items after claiming
After a success message, check the relevant Roblox badge page or avatar inventory category. A completed objective, a badge, an avatar item, and a reward that still needs to be claimed are not necessarily the same thing. If the hub shows success but the item does not appear, record the exact item name and check the game’s official support or community instructions rather than repeatedly performing the same task.
5. Separate free event rewards from paid Marketplace items
Roblox also says limited-time Halloween avatar items are for sale in the Marketplace, including the Hollow Horseman. A paid Marketplace item is not the same as a free reward earned through an event objective. Before spending Robux, confirm the item’s price and details on the official Marketplace page and decide whether you actually want to buy it.

FAQ
How many hours are left to claim The Hollow rewards?
At the timestamp of this update—October 29, 2026, 02:48 UTC—113 hours and 12 minutes remained until November 2 at 20:00 UTC. That is the published reward deadline; the countdown decreases continuously.
When exactly does The Hollow finale start?
Roblox has announced the morning of October 31, but has not specified an exact start time in its official event announcement. Do not treat an unrelated creator livestream time as the confirmed finale time.
Does the event end immediately after the October 31 finale?
No. Roblox says players can continue collecting rewards until noon PST on November 2, so the finale and reward deadline are separate milestones.
Will unfinished rewards automatically appear in my inventory?
Roblox’s announcement does not promise that unclaimed rewards will be automatically granted. Check each relevant in-game reward panel and verify the item or badge in your account after claiming.
What should I do first if I have very little time?
Check the hub for incomplete objectives, finish any available tasks that lead to rewards you want, claim rewards through the indicated interface, and verify that they appear. Prioritize claims over optional Marketplace browsing.
Editorial note: Official event dates and the reward deadline are based on Roblox’s published announcement. The hour count is a timestamped calculation, not a live in-game timer. Images from partner games are illustrative and do not prove the status of an individual player’s progress.
