Roblox players taking part in The Hollow can join the server‑wide event from within the Roblox client or by visiting the event’s official page. The Hollow runs from Oct. 23 to Oct. 31, with a live finale on Oct. 31. Rewards remain claimable through Nov. 2, and the event features a new monster for each of its nine days. The first event window on Oct. 23 opened at 11 a.m. PT.

getting started

To begin The Hollow, search for “The Hollow” in the Roblox Player or go directly to The Hollow official page. You may subscribe to individual daily events; subscribing to any available event grants the Roblox Presents Little Plus‑tergeist companion.

day 1: maze puzzle overview

The Day 1 challenge is a maze puzzle set inside a movie theater. The objective is to collect five missing relic pieces scattered across the floor and deliver them to the Relic Room to unlock progress. An entity roams the maze and will return players to the start if it catches them, so move cautiously and use sightlines to avoid encounters.

  • Follow the highlighted path from the spawn area to the elevator that takes you to the first floor.
  • On the first floor, search the movie theater area for the five relic pieces. They are distributed throughout the rooms on that level.
  • After collecting the pieces, carry them to the Relic Room and place them in the receptacle behind the protective field to register progress.

how to find the Relic Room

From the elevator spawn point on the first floor, head forward, pass through two rooms, then take a right. Continue down the hallway; you will know you are on the correct route when there is no left turn available. Follow the corridor to the door with the protective field—this is the Relic Room where the relic pieces must be deposited.

practical tips

  • Avoid the roaming entity by keeping to side corridors and checking around corners before advancing; being returned to the start wastes time and may cost event progress if you are interrupted while carrying pieces.
  • Work methodically: clear one room at a time and mark where you’ve already searched to reduce backtracking in the maze layout.
  • Subscribe to daily event windows you plan to play to ensure you receive the Little Plus‑tergeist companion reward if eligible.

Remember: The Hollow runs across nine days with distinct monsters and puzzles each day. Players can continue earning rewards through Nov. 2 even after the daily windows conclude.
