For U.S. players · Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer: If you have 20–30 minutes before Roblox The Hollow opens on October 22, finish or make progress on Piggy’s Frightful Forest pumpkin quest first. The Hollow is scheduled to open at 2 p.m. Pacific Time, while Piggy’s Frightful Forest remains listed by current event trackers as live. But do not treat November 8 as a guaranteed deadline: the public Frightful Forest event listing has reportedly disappeared, and the developer has not clearly confirmed the quest’s final availability date.
The practical choice is not “which event is bigger?” It is whether you can secure a specific Piggy reward before switching to a new platform-wide event. The Hollow is designed around nine horror-game monsters over nine days, with a live finale on October 31. Piggy’s Frightful Forest is a separate update inside Piggy’s Book 1, Chapter 4: Forest. Completing one does not automatically complete the other.
What is still available in Piggy Frightful Forest?
Piggy’s Frightful Forest refresh gives the classic Forest map a Halloween look and adds a hidden quest for a Survivor Effect commonly identified by community guides as Wisps. The route reported by current walkthroughs is to collect six coloured pumpkins in Book 1, Chapter 4: Forest. The quest is separate from the main escape objective, and community guides report that the sixth pumpkin—not escaping the map—is the key completion trigger.
Because the public event listing’s status has been inconsistent, the safest advice is to check the live Piggy game and a newly updated server before you spend time on the quest. If the Halloween Forest version does not load, rejoin an updated server and look again.
The six-pumpkin Wisps quest: what to prioritize
Community walkthroughs identify six pumpkin colours—yellow, red, orange, purple, green and blue—hidden around Forest. Some are easy to miss behind environmental objects or locked routes. You may need to open the Orange Lock gate for the graveyard area and use the Hammer to clear boards at the cave entrance. The precise route can vary with how you approach the map, so focus on confirming each pickup rather than rushing to the exit.
- Before starting: choose Book 1, Chapter 4: Forest and make sure the updated Halloween map has loaded.
- Search systematically: check the graveyard, cabins, broken shed, flipped car and boarded cave rather than running the same central path repeatedly.
- Confirm the reward: after the sixth pickup, check the Survivor Effects section of your inventory for Wisps. Do not assume it is a character skin.
- If it fails: verify that the pickup registered, then rejoin a fresh server and check your inventory again.
Should you do Piggy before The Hollow?
Yes, if the Wisps quest is unfinished and you want the effect. A short, goal-focused Piggy session has a clear endpoint: locate the six pumpkins, verify the effect, and stop. That is easier to plan than splitting attention between two event systems while The Hollow’s launch-day hub is busy.
Switch to The Hollow first if you care more about its opening-night experience. Roblox says The Hollow begins at 2 p.m. PT on October 22, with a different monster appearing each day for nine days. Roblox Plus subscribers are scheduled to enter the hub at noon PT; general access starts at 2 p.m. PT. If you want to see the opening moment with friends, set a reminder and avoid starting a long Piggy round too close to launch.
A simple 30-minute plan for casual players
- Minutes 0–5: open Piggy, enter Forest and confirm that the Halloween version is active.
- Minutes 5–20: search for the six coloured pumpkins, using a checklist rather than repeatedly crossing the map.
- Minutes 20–25: check the Survivor Effects inventory for Wisps. If a pumpkin is missing, use the remaining time to search the least-checked areas.
- Minutes 25–30: decide whether to continue Piggy or switch to launch preparation for The Hollow. Do not leave a nearly complete quest just to wait at the hub if you are not planning to join immediately.
If you have already unlocked Wisps, you can skip the extra Piggy grind and save your session for The Hollow. If the quest is not available in your current server, do not assume that repeatedly restarting will fix a developer-side event change; check the latest in-game event details first.
What we know—and what is not confirmed
- Confirmed by Roblox: The Hollow is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. PT on October 22 and features nine monsters over nine days, with a live finale on October 31.
- Supported by Piggy event references: Frightful Forest is a Halloween refresh of the Forest map with a hidden Survivor Effect quest.
- Community walkthrough detail: the quest is described as six coloured pumpkins and the reward as Wisps. We have not personally replay-tested the quest for this article.
- Uncertain: a dependable final deadline for obtaining Wisps. A previously displayed November 8 date should not be treated as guaranteed while the official listing is unavailable or inconsistent.

FAQ
Is Piggy Frightful Forest still live on October 21, 2026?
Current third-party event trackers still show it as live, but the public Roblox event listing has reportedly become unavailable. Check the live game for the latest status.
Can I finish Piggy Frightful Forest and The Hollow in the same session?
Yes, if you budget time. The efficient plan is to finish the six-pumpkin Wisps quest first, verify the reward, then move to The Hollow. If you prefer to experience The Hollow’s opening moment, prioritize its scheduled start.
Do I need to escape Forest to get Wisps?
Community walkthroughs report that collecting the sixth pumpkin completes the hidden quest; escaping is not required. We have not independently replay-tested that mechanic.
Is November 8 definitely the last day to get Wisps?
No definitive promise is possible from the currently available public listing. Treat the old date as unconfirmed and check the in-game event information.
Does completing Piggy’s quest unlock The Hollow rewards?
No such cross-event reward link is confirmed. Piggy’s quest and The Hollow should be treated as separate progression systems unless the games or Roblox announce otherwise.
