U.S. Roblox event guide · Updated October 27, 2026 · By Shivam Das
Quick answer: The official The Mimic x Ken Carson crossover is listed as a limited-time event inside The Mimic on Roblox. The event listing describes a secret research facility where a dangerous experiment has escaped; players who finish the event can earn an exclusive, limited-time lantern. Current event-calendar reporting places the close at 1:55 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Sunday, November 1—equivalent to 11:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Saturday, October 31. Check the live Roblox listing before planning a last-minute run.
This is separate from Ken Carson’s two announced virtual concerts in The Block, scheduled for October 30 and October 31 at 4 p.m. Pacific Time. The Mimic crossover is a game activity, not the concert itself.
What is The Mimic x Ken Carson event?
The collaboration connects the horror experience The Mimic, developed by CTStudio, with Ken Carson’s Xperiment project. The event description sets up a malfunctioning research facility and an escaped experiment called XGATA. Its listed reward is an exclusive, limited-time lantern for players who complete the event.
The key practical point: the public event description does not provide a full step-by-step puzzle walkthrough. Treat detailed room routes, guaranteed shortcuts, or claims about extra rewards cautiously unless they can be verified in the live experience or a developer announcement.
When does the event end? U.S. time zones
The current event-calendar listing gives the close as 06:55 UTC on November 1, 2026. Converted to U.S. clocks, that is late Halloween night on the West Coast and early Sunday morning on the East Coast.
| U.S. time zone | Reported end time |
|---|---|
| Pacific Time | Saturday, October 31, 11:55 p.m. PDT |
| Mountain Time | Sunday, November 1, 12:55 a.m. MDT |
| Central Time | Sunday, November 1, 1:55 a.m. CDT |
| Eastern Time | Sunday, November 1, 1:55 a.m. EST |
Daylight-saving reminder: U.S. clocks fall back on November 1, 2026. That means the event’s Eastern end time is 1:55 a.m. EST, after the clock change—not 2:55 a.m. EDT. Because event listings can change, open the official experience listing and verify the current countdown before relying on the final minutes.
How to join safely
- Open the official The Mimic experience page on Roblox.
- Check the experience’s event announcement or in-game event area for the Ken Carson crossover.
- Follow the objectives shown in the live experience rather than relying on unverified social posts promising instant completion.
- Finish the event and check the in-game reward confirmation for the limited-time lantern.
- If the lantern does not appear, recheck the event’s completion requirements and your inventory before contacting the game’s official support channels.
Never enter your Roblox password, verification code, browser cookie, or account recovery details into a third-party event site. A “free lantern generator,” paid carry service, or external link asking for account access is not a safe way to claim a reward.
Can you still get the lantern after the event closes?
The event description calls the lantern limited-time, so players should not assume it will remain earnable after the listing ends. The public details reviewed for this guide do not establish a later rerun or a permanent alternative unlock. If the item matters to you, complete the challenge and verify the reward before the listed cutoff.
Do not confuse the crossover with the Ken Carson concert
Ken Carson’s broader Roblox Halloween takeover includes two virtual concerts in The Block on Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, both announced for 4 p.m. Pacific Time (7 p.m. Eastern while daylight saving time is still active). The Mimic and Blade Ball received separate integrations on October 26, and Fisch is scheduled to join on October 31. The available announcement does not confirm that every game integration shares the same reward or gameplay mechanics.
Players who want the concert should check The Block separately; completing The Mimic event is not the same as attending the concert.
Is The Mimic suitable for younger players?
The official game page warns about flashing lights, loud noises, and jumpscares. Families should review the experience’s current content label and Roblox parental controls before joining, especially for younger players or anyone sensitive to horror effects.
