Quick answer: As of October 18, 2026, US players have roughly five days left in the listed 99 Nights in the Forest Trick or Treat Part 1 event window. The Roblox event listing currently gives an end time of October 24, 2026, at 12:00 UTC—8:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time and 5:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Treat that as the event-listing deadline, and check the live lobby for any separate shop countdowns.
The best last-days plan is simple: get a costume, make Candy-producing house visits at night, finish the three event badges, and reserve Candy for the reward you actually want. Do not spend scarce currency based only on an old screenshot or a rumor about a secret reward.
When does the event end in US time zones?
The current Roblox event listing gives October 24, 2026, at 12:00 UTC as the end of the Trick or Treat Part 1 window. Converted to US daylight time, that is:
- Eastern: Saturday, October 24, at 8:00 a.m. EDT.
- Central: Saturday, October 24, at 7:00 a.m. CDT.
- Mountain: Saturday, October 24, at 6:00 a.m. MDT.
- Pacific: Saturday, October 24, at 5:00 a.m. PDT.
These are conversions of the listed UTC time, not a promise that every item will remain available until that exact minute. Start from the official 99 Nights in the Forest experience page and recheck the event menu before your final session.
The last-five-days priority checklist
- Check the live shop first. Write down the reward you want, its Candy price, and any countdown displayed in-game. The Halloween shop has multiple cosmetics and decorations, so choose a target before farming.
- Find costume pieces early. Current event guides report that Costume Boxes, chests near points of interest, and some enemy drops can provide costume pieces. Check your own run rather than relying on an old map screenshot.
- Use the Costume Closet. Equip the pieces you have collected. A full matching set is reported to improve Candy earnings, so compare your Candy counter after a visit instead of assuming every outfit pays the same.
- Visit decorated houses at night. Approach a decorated house and use the interaction prompt. Going without a costume can trigger a trick rather than a Candy reward, so verify your outfit before spending time on a route.
- Complete the three event badges. Current October 2026 coverage lists Candy Collecting, Carving, and Costuming. Read the badge conditions in-game and claim the progress while you are already playing.
- Carve pumpkins when you find the station. The current update includes pumpkin carving. Follow the station's instructions and check whether the Carving badge registers before moving on.
- Spend toward a high-priority reward. If your goal is a limited pet appearance, compare the listed cost with your balance before buying lower-priority decorations.
- Recheck before logging off. Update schedules and shop stock can change. A screenshot from a previous season is context, not proof of today's inventory.
Which rewards should you prioritize?
Recent event coverage lists a 10-item Halloween shop. The table below is a planning reference, not a guarantee that the lobby will never change; verify each price in the live shop before spending.
| Reward | Reported Candy cost | Priority tip |
|---|---|---|
| Halloween Decor | 10 | Low-cost choice if you want decorations first. |
| Spooky Crock Pot | 25 | Check whether camp utility or collection matters more to you. |
| Shrapnel Grenade | 30 | Consider only if it fits your play style. |
| Fancy Dressed Clothes | 30 | Event-related class item; compare its value with your Candy goal. |
| Coffin Chair | 30 | Camp decoration priority. |
| Pile of Skulls | 30 | Camp decoration priority. |
| Spooky Braziers | 50 | Save for this if you are collecting Halloween camp items. |
| Standing Coffins | 80 | Higher-cost decoration; buy after deciding on limited cosmetics. |
| Candy Corn Bunny | 80 | High priority for players collecting seasonal pet appearances. |
| Vampire Alpha Wolf | 200 | Highest-cost reported reward; plan Candy farming around it if it is your main target. |
The 200-Candy Vampire Alpha Wolf and 80-Candy Candy Corn Bunny prices are reported in current event coverage. The most reliable final check is still the shop in your live server, especially if developers add or rotate items during the event.
A simple Candy-farming method that avoids guesswork
Track the actual result instead of trusting a claim that one route is “the fastest.” Note your Candy balance, run one short route, then check the balance again. Calculate Candy per minute = Candy earned ÷ minutes spent. For example, 12 Candy in 3 minutes equals 4 Candy per minute; that is only a math example, not a claimed in-game payout.
- Collect costume pieces while travelling between points of interest.
- Prefer nearby decorated houses to long detours when night begins.
- Test whether a matching outfit increases your reward in the current build.
- Stop repeating a route if the Candy counter does not increase as expected.
- Choose your target reward before spending on lower-priority items.
What is confirmed for the 2026 Trick or Treat update?
- Costume collection: Current guides describe finding pieces in Costume Boxes, chests, and some enemy drops.
- Costume Closet: Use it to equip collected pieces before visiting decorated houses.
- Night-time house visits: Interact with decorated houses to trick-or-treat; a costume affects whether you can earn Candy.
- Three badges: Candy Collecting, Carving, and Costuming are listed in current event coverage.
- Pumpkin carving and Halloween shop: Both are part of current update coverage; check the live game for the exact interaction and stock.
- Event window: The Roblox listing currently shows October 17 through October 24, ending at 12:00 UTC.
