Quick answer: Roblox has confirmed The Hollow’s nine-monster lineup, its October 22 launch, a live finale on October 31, and a reward-claim deadline of noon Pacific Time on November 2. But the original Roblox Newsroom announcement does not assign every monster to a numbered night. Treat leaked charts as unconfirmed unless they match an official Roblox post or the live event hub.

What Roblox has confirmed
Roblox published its The Hollow announcement on October 21, 2026. It describes a platform-wide Halloween survival event that opened at 2 p.m. Pacific Time on October 22. Players enter a shared maze, search for clues, and evade a changing monster. A different monster appears each day for nine days, followed by a live finale planned for the morning of October 31. Roblox says players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2.
The announcement names nine horror experiences and their featured monsters. It also says players earn exclusive user-generated-content (UGC) items and other rewards by completing quests. Roblox Plus subscribers received early hub access and additional membership perks, but that does not prove a specific quest reward requires a subscription.
These details are strong facts because they come from Roblox. A screenshot with a numbered list, an anonymous social account, or a creator saying “I think this is next” is not enough to establish the full schedule. Such posts may turn out to be right, but being correct later is different from being verified beforehand.

The lineup is not a night-by-night schedule
Roblox named these nine characters in its announcement:
- The Deer — 99 Nights in the Forest
- Seek — DOORS
- Twisted Dandy — Dandy’s World
- Piggy — Piggy
- The Inspector — Scary Shawarma Kiosk
- Mimic — Animal Hospital
- Biter — Demonology
- Hiachi — The Mimic
- The Overseer — Warden
This is the confirmed roster, not automatically Night 1 through Night 9. A publisher can list characters for readability, promotional timing, or another editorial reason. Unless a source labels each entry with a date or night number, the bullet order alone does not prove the order of appearance.
There is room for confusion because two entries have similar names: Mimic is from Animal Hospital, while Hiachi is from the separate experience The Mimic. A leak that merges them, misspells a character, or assigns one to the wrong game deserves extra scrutiny before players plan a session around it.
How to judge leaked schedules
Strong evidence: an official dated statement
A Roblox Newsroom post, official event listing, verified Roblox social account, or direct notice inside The Hollow is the strongest starting point. Read the exact wording. A post confirming a creator livestream featuring a monster confirms the stream pairing; it does not necessarily prove the maze’s reset time or the next monster in a numbered sequence.
Useful but limited: a live gameplay recording
A dated video showing a monster in the current event hub is better evidence of what a player saw than a text-only prediction. Still, the recording should show enough context to identify the event, date, and relevant floor or quest. A cropped image can be genuine but lack the context needed to prove a full schedule.
Weak evidence: an anonymous chart or copied post
A chart with no primary-source link may simply repeat an earlier guess. Look for the original poster, timestamp, whether the author labels it a prediction, and whether the same graphic has been reposted with different dates. Repetition is not independent confirmation when every account copies one source.
Not evidence: a demand to click a reward link
A post promising free Robux, guaranteed UGC, or early access in exchange for a password, account cookie, verification code, or off-platform login should be treated as unsafe. You do not need to hand over account credentials to verify a public monster roster.
Sources ranked by reliability
- Roblox Newsroom: Best for the official event format, dates, lineup, and reward deadline.
- The live Roblox event hub: Best for checking the current experience, active objective, and what your account is being asked to do.
- Official event listings and verified social posts: Helpful for creator stream announcements and public updates. Read what each post actually confirms.
- Recorded gameplay from identifiable creators: Useful for seeing a route or encounter, but verify the date and in-game context.
- Fan wikis, spreadsheets, and anonymous leaks: Useful as leads, not final proof. Check whether they cite a primary source and update claims when new evidence appears.
This does not mean community sources are always wrong. Fan guides can be fast and detailed, and creators often help players understand a confusing challenge. The point is to match the source to the claim. A fan guide may be excellent for a maze walkthrough; it cannot turn an unsupported date into an official announcement.
Why predictions can look accurate—and still be wrong
Predictions often follow a logical pattern: creators are scheduled to stream, promotional artwork introduces characters, and players expect those characters to appear in a similar order. A prediction can match one signal and still miss the actual in-game sequence. Promotion schedules, livestream schedules, and maze unlocks are related possibilities, but they are not automatically identical.
Hindsight creates another problem. After an event changes, an old post may be edited, deleted, or reposted without its original timestamp. A screenshot shared later can make a guess look like a confirmed leak. When timing matters, preserve the source URL and date you checked it, and distinguish “predicted,” “reported,” and “confirmed” in your notes.
As of this article’s October 26 update, Roblox’s Newsroom announcement remains the primary source for the nine named monsters and broad event timeline. It does not, by itself, publish a complete numbered schedule for all nine monsters. If a newer official post or the live hub supplies a dated order, that newer evidence should take priority and the article should be updated.
What players should do next
Players do not need a perfect leak to make progress. Open The Hollow through Roblox, read the current objective, finish the stated task, and check whether the reward is marked as claimed. If a quest directs you to another participating experience, follow the event hub’s instructions rather than a third-party site that asks you to sign in again.
- Bookmark the official The Hollow experience.
- Check the current monster and quest inside the game before following a walkthrough.
- Use dated videos for maze help, and compare the route with the floor you actually see.
- Keep a short list of objectives completed and rewards claimed.
- Return well before the November 2 noon Pacific Standard Time reward cutoff.
- Never enter your Roblox password, two-step verification code, or account cookie into a leak site or code generator.
If the game does not register a task, reopen the quest panel, check the objective wording, and rejoin through the official Roblox client if needed. Do not assume a rumor about a “secret unlock” explains the problem. If the issue continues, use Roblox’s official support options.
Red flags in fake event leaks
Be careful with posts that claim to reveal the entire sequence but provide no source, use urgency to push an external link, promise free Robux, or ask you to download a tool. Other warning signs include inconsistent monster names, screenshots that crop out the game interface, and articles that call an order “official” in the headline while describing it as a prediction in the text.
Ask yourself: what would prove this claim wrong? A responsible guide explains where its information came from and what remains unknown. A dubious leak usually makes the claim impossible to check, or keeps changing the story when the event does not match the prediction.
Roblox has confirmed that quests award exclusive UGC and other event rewards. That does not validate every third-party code list, giveaway, or “free item claim” page. If an offer is not reflected in the official experience or a legitimate Roblox Marketplace listing, do not risk your account to test it.
Official links and source notes
- Roblox Newsroom: The Hollow Halloween survival event — primary source for the event structure, lineup, finale, and reward cutoff.
- The Hollow on Roblox — check the live hub and quest instructions.
- Roblox Developer Forum announcement — official forum copy of the announcement.
Editorial standard: This article separates official facts from predictions. The nine-monster lineup and broad event dates are confirmed by Roblox; a numbered night order should be labeled unconfirmed unless a dated official source or clear live-hub evidence verifies it.
Frequently asked questions
Did Roblox officially publish the full nine-night monster order?
The Newsroom announcement confirms nine monsters and says a different monster appears each day for nine days, but it does not assign every monster to a numbered night. Check the current event hub and newer official posts for subsequent confirmation.
Does the order in the official announcement prove the order they appear?
No. A roster is not necessarily a schedule. The source would need to label the characters by night or date to establish a confirmed sequence.
Can a creator livestream confirm which monster is live?
A livestream can show what the creator encounters during that session. It does not automatically confirm every other night, the full release order, or the exact reset time. Check the event hub for current in-game status.
When does The Hollow reward collection end?
Roblox says players can continue collecting rewards until noon Pacific Standard Time on November 2, 2026. Complete and claim objectives early rather than waiting for the final hours.
Are leaked Roblox event links safe?
Do not trust links that ask for your password, account cookie, two-step verification code, or a suspicious download. Use Roblox’s official site and in-game hub to verify the event.
What should I do if a prediction turns out to be wrong?
Check the original source and timestamp, update your notes, and rely on the live hub for the current challenge. A correction is more useful than reposting an outdated schedule.
