It’s time to get spooky over on Roblox, as the platform’s newest event, entitled ‘The Haunt’, a ghoulish get-together where participants play some of the classic games, and get to play the part of amateur photographer. In our Roblox The Haunt guide, we outline the important bits of the event and what you need to do to make the most of it while it’s here.
We don’t want you haunted by your regrets afterwards!
If you’re looking for something to calm yourself down after all the creepy content, maybe have a look at our guide on how to get Luck in Fisch.
Roblox The Haunt Guide
Let’s explain.
Accessing The Haunt
You access the main hub of The Haunt through the specially-built hub experience. You can access it directly through our handy Roblox link here! The hub itself isn’t the only place with the spirit of The Haunt though, as its ghastly influence has invaded some of the beloved games across Roblox. Keep an eye out for our list of them!
What Do You Do In The Haunt?
The Haunt is divided into two parts, broadly.
The Screenshot Contest
It’s time to show off your most creative costume in the contest! Entering is as simple as submitting a screen capture that suits the day’s theme. Here are the themes we know so far.
- Day 1 – Creature
- Day 2 – Cute
- Day 3 – Villains
- Day 4 – Orange
- Day 5 – Scary
If you win, or snag runner-up in a category, you get a special avatar item as a prize, to show the world your victory.
It’s not just entrants that get the goodies though. For every day you call into the hub and vote on at least five entries, you get a special avatar item, too! We love the shoulder ravens item, Day 2 was a must for us.
The Hub Games
There are various games to complete around the Hub area, with special power up items up for grabs. As of our last check, only the Cemetary bit was open, but more are set to unlock at the event goes on. We’ll add them as they appear!
First Day – The Cemetery
- Head straight through the manor, out to the big statue of The Horseman, and turn left. You should see the Cemetery and two shovels. Head over to one to pick it up. Now it’s time to do a bit of grave robbing.
- Find graves hidden all around the area and dig them up with a shovel. In one, you’ll find the Pure Light Lantern. Others just have dirt in. Some… well we don’t want to spoil the surprise.
Second Day – The Maze
- Turn right at the statue of The Horseman this time and follow the path to the entrance of the hedge maze.
- This place is a large and confusing set of paths, infested with zombie animals that like to hop onto you and slow you down.
- The easiest way to conquer it is to use the age-old maze trick. Keep hugging the left-hand wall and follow it the whole way. Eventually this will drop you into an area with a plinth in the center. Interact with that to get the Golden Key necklace, which lets you into a teleporter room when used.
Third Day – The Hall Of Villains
- From the entrance to Axbury Manor, turn right before you hit the ballroom and follow the hallway. The second exit on your right after you turn the corner is the Hall Of Villains. (You can also teleport there with the Golden Key Necklace.)
- Hall Of Villains is a game of Hot And Cold. The next item is hiding in one of the mirrors in the room. You interact with the mirrors to look inside. Each incorrect mirror after the first will tell you if you’re closer or further away than the last mirror you tried.
- Follow those clues to narrow it down and eventually you’ll find the right mirror, and Death’s Dastardly Cape hidden inside. This allows you to turn yourself invisible when worn.
Fourth Day – The Attic
- Head up the set of stairs on the second floor to visit The Attic. (Or use the Gold Key again.)
- One you’re in, pick up a bat.
- The aim of The Attic is to smash pumpkins hidden all around the area. Some are in hard to reach places. Once you’ve gotten enough of them, you should find the Flaming Pumpkin Cart, which lets you get around quickly.
Fifth Day – The Elevator
- Use the Gold Key, or from the entrance take the right-hand corridor, and follow it until it passes the steps, then turn right to find the Elevator Room. You can enter with up to three other players.
- The elevator game is easy. Simply visit each floor until you find the prize. You move floors by hitting the buttons, majority vote decides which floor you go to.
- On one floor your should find the Spectral Specs, which reveal secrets of the manor when worn.
