What is confirmed for the 2026 event?
The Roblox event listing confirms a Halloween event window and the title associated with the first part of the celebration. The developer’s full written description has not provided a detailed 2026 feature list, so specific rewards, new classes, quests, enemies, or candy systems should not be treated as confirmed for this year until they appear in-game or in an official announcement.
- Confirmed: a Halloween-themed event is scheduled for October 17–24, 2026.
- Confirmed: the event is identified as “Halloween Begins” / “Trick or Treat” and marked as Part 1 in event coverage.
- Not yet confirmed in the 2026 announcement: exact reward inventory, new classes, event currency, quest objectives, special enemies, or a Part 2 release date.
How to join the event
- Open the official 99 Nights in the Forest Roblox experience.
- Check the experience’s event panel or official Roblox event listing for the latest schedule.
- Join after the listed start time and allow the experience to update.
- Inspect the lobby, any event notice, and available objectives before assuming a particular activity or reward is live.
- If you cannot see the event, rejoin a fresh server and check the official event listing again.
What should you do before launch?
- Make sure Roblox is updated and you can enter the official experience.
- Coordinate with friends in different time zones using the table above.
- Keep a little time free after launch in case the game needs a server refresh.
- Wait for in-game instructions before spending currency or following unofficial reward guides.
- Be careful with videos or posts claiming guaranteed 2026 codes, rewards, or secret mechanics unless they link to an official developer source.
Will there be candy, new classes, or exclusive rewards?
Those features appeared in previous Halloween-related coverage of the game, but the 2026 event listing has not yet confirmed its full reward catalogue or mechanics. Treat past-year screenshots as historical examples, not proof that the same items or systems return this year. Once the update is live, use the in-game event menu and shop as the source of truth.
