For US players · Updated October 21, 2026 · By Shivam Das
Quick answer: The listed window for 99 Nights in the Forest Trick or Treat Part 1 ends on October 24, 2026, at 12:00 UTC—8 a.m. Eastern and 5 a.m. Pacific. Roblox’s new platform-wide Halloween event, The Hollow, opens October 22 at 2 p.m. Pacific. That overlap gives players only a short window to finish the most important 99 Nights tasks before attention shifts. The event window is not proof that every individual reward or shop item disappears at the same moment, so check each in-game timer.
This guide focuses on practical priorities, not an unverified “secret quest list.” Use the live game’s objectives and countdowns as the final authority, especially if the developers update the event.
What is the real deadline?
The current listing for Trick or Treat Part 1 gives an end time of October 24 at 12:00 UTC. For US players, that converts to 8 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time and 5 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Treat that as the listed event-window deadline—not a guarantee that every reward uses the same timer. Some content can have separate countdowns, and event pages can change.
The Hollow begins earlier, on October 22 at 2 p.m. Pacific, according to Roblox’s official announcement. It is a separate platform-wide event, so do not assume that joining The Hollow automatically completes or preserves your 99 Nights rewards.
Final-session priority list: do these first
1. Claim anything already completed
Open the event board, badge menu, and Halloween shop before starting another long survival run. Claim completed rewards wherever the game offers a separate claim action. Do not assume that finishing an objective automatically adds every reward to your inventory.
2. Finish the visible Trick or Treat objectives
The 2026 event guide describes collecting costume pieces, equipping them through the Costume Closet, and visiting decorated houses at night. Check the requirements displayed in your own game. If an objective asks for a particular number of houses, costume pieces, or badge progress, follow that exact wording rather than an older walkthrough.
3. Check limited-time shop items before spending Candy
Compare the remaining Candy you have with the price of the item you genuinely want. If you are short, estimate how many realistic runs you can complete before the listed deadline. Avoid buying a lower-priority decoration just because it is affordable if your main goal is a limited-time cosmetic or class. Prices and reward availability should be checked in the current shop.
4. Complete simple badges while you are already in the server
Look for objectives that can be finished during your normal route, such as collecting your first Candy, carving a pumpkin, or wearing a complete matching costume if those badges appear in your current build. Do not spend an entire session chasing a badge that is not shown in your event menu.
5. Protect the run instead of gambling on one last reward
Bring the supplies your team normally relies on, assign someone to keep the camp safe, and stop chasing optional Candy if your run is at risk. A failed run can cost more time than a modest extra reward is worth. If you play solo, set a short objective before entering and leave once it is complete.
What should players finish before The Hollow opens?
Use this quick checklist on October 21–22:
- Open the live event panel and confirm the countdown.
- Claim all rewards already marked complete.
- Check the Halloween shop for limited items and separate expiry timers.
- Complete easy, visible badges before attempting longer objectives.
- Spend Candy only after choosing your top-priority reward.
- Save a screenshot of any missing reward or error and rejoin a fresh server before retrying.
When The Hollow opens, you can decide whether to switch immediately or return to 99 Nights later. Because the two event windows overlap, the sensible choice is to finish the 99 Nights tasks that are clearly time-limited first, then explore The Hollow after confirming the new event’s live instructions.
Will all 99 Nights Halloween rewards disappear on October 24?
That is not confirmed for every item. October 24 is the listed end of the Trick or Treat Part 1 event window. Individual shop items, badges, or other Halloween content may have separate timers, and a “Part 1” label does not by itself confirm when a possible follow-up will arrive. Check the game’s own countdown before relying on a deadline reported elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
What time does the 99 Nights in the Forest event window end in the US?
The listed end is October 24, 2026, at 8 a.m. Eastern / 5 a.m. Pacific. Recheck the live event panel in case the schedule changes.
Should I start The Hollow instead of finishing 99 Nights?
Finish completed claims and the most time-sensitive objectives first. Then move to The Hollow if that is your priority. You do not need to assume one event unlocks the other.
What is the fastest way to earn more Candy?
Follow the current game instructions for costume collection and trick-or-treating, and test the payout in your server. Do not rely on old-season values if the live game shows different rules.
Can I trust a list of “secret final quests” posted on social media?
Only if the details match the current in-game objectives or a developer announcement. Avoid third-party reward pages asking for your Roblox password, session cookie, or verification code.
