Dandy's World Halloween event 2026: dates, Pumpkins and the shop
The Dandy's World Halloween event runs from October 2 to November 6, 2026, and it is the sixth event in the game's history. The Dandy's World Wiki says it brings back the four Halloween Toons (Gourdy, Eclipse, Soulvester and Ribecca), the Pumpkins currency and Gourdy's Store, and adds a new floor event called Haunted Gala and a door mechanic called Trick or Treat Doors. This guide lays out all of it as of version Alpha 0.29.10 (October 23, 2026): what Pumpkins pay, what the shop sells and at what price, and the one-off Roblox event called The Hollow.
Two things to know up front. First, the four Toons, their Twisteds and their trinkets are not new. All of them first appeared on October 10, 2025, and the wiki's changelog marks them "Returning." What is new in 2026 is the cosmetics, the Trick or Treat Doors and Haunted Gala. Second, Pumpkins left over when the event ends vanish and do not carry over to next year, so anything you want from the shop has to be bought by November 6.
The five patches, one by one
The event is delivered in parts. The wiki's changelog lists five, four of them live.
| Part | Date | Version | Changes listed | What arrived |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One | October 2 | Alpha 0.29.1 | 116 | The four Toons, Twisteds and trinkets return; Trick or Treat Doors; Haunted Gala; 3 new store skins; Spooky-Time pack |
| Two | October 9 | Alpha 0.29.7 | 41 | Queens of Mischief pack; 3 new store skins; 7 Queens of Mischief stickers; Holiday Quests for Eclipse and Gourdy |
| Three | October 16 | Alpha 0.29.9 | 26 | 2 new store skins; 5 new stickers |
| Four | October 23 | Alpha 0.29.10 | 30 | 3 new store skins; The Hollow; new Trick or Treat Door outcomes |
| Five | October 30 | Alpha 0.29.1_ | 4 (all TBA) | Placeholders only: TBA skins for Finn and Ribecca |
Smaller patches sit between them: Alpha 0.29.3 on October 3 (8 changes), Alpha 0.29.5 on October 6 (26) and Alpha 0.29.6 on October 7 (1). Part Five is on the changelog for October 30 with only TBA placeholders, so nothing in this guide covers it. Part Four, on October 23, is the latest one that the wiki documents. The wiki also lists the event's end date as November 6, which is the day the Toons and the store stop being sold.
How to get Pumpkins
Pumpkins are the event currency. You spend them on Halloween Toons, skins, stickers and prints in Gourdy's Store. Here are the ways to earn them, with the weekend doubling the wiki describes:
| Source | Weekday | Weekend (x2) |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin item on the floor (2 spawn per floor) | 5 each | 10 each |
| Completing a Machine | 5 | 10 |
| Meeting a Twisted (once per Twisted per floor) | 1 | 2 |
| "Pumpkin Patch!" treat from a Trick or Treat Door | 10 | 20 |
The wiki's Pumpkins page says the doubled weekend started on October 23 at midnight Eastern time. Its countdown code for the end date is commented out and the page says the countdown is "inactive at the moment," so the end of the doubling is not confirmed. The same page's trivia notes that Friday counts as part of the weekend, and the second advent calendar flags Friday October 23 and Friday October 30 as the start of an x2 weekend, with Saturday October 24 and Saturday October 31 marked as active.
The page also gives a cap for the early floors. Up to floor 7, the most you can pick up on one floor is 22 Pumpkins, or 44 on a doubled weekend. The Pumpkins page recommends solo runs for grinding, since every Machine and every Trick or Treat Door belongs to you, and lists a few specific helpers:
- Pebble, whose Fetch! ability makes Pumpkin items easier to find.
- Coal, whose Scout ability highlights Pumpkin items for the whole team.
- The Bone Needle and Thread trinket, which highlights Pumpkins every 10 seconds.
- Vee's Remote and Wrench, which help finish more Machines in a group, and Scrapbook, which lowers Stealth to make Twisted encounters easier for a distractor.
You can also buy Pumpkins with Robux: 99 for 300, 475 for 1,450, 925 for 2,950 and 1,500 for 5,000. Dividing out, that is between 0.33 Robux per Pumpkin for the smallest pack and 0.30 for the largest.
The advent calendars
There are two login calendars, and a missed day can be unlocked for 10 Robux. The first ran October 7 to 18 for 12 days. Claiming all 12 gives Gourdy's Unearthed Spirit skin, and it also paid a Happy Halloween! sticker on day 3 (October 9), a Haunted House print on October 14 and 300 Pumpkins on October 18. The second runs from October 19 to 31 for 13 days, and claiming all 13 gives Soulvester's Found Knight skin. It includes a Trick or Treat! sticker on October 23 and 300 Pumpkins on October 30 and 31. The Pumpkins page says the calendars add up to 2,150 Pumpkins, two stickers, two prints and the two skins.
Gourdy's Store: the four Toons and their prices
Gourdy's Store sits beside Dandy's Store in the Halloween-themed lobby (the changelog says to its left). The wiki's price list for the 2026 event is identical to the 2025 one. These are the four Toons:
| Toon | Pumpkins | Ichor | Other requirements | Counterpart Twisted rarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gourdy | 3,000 | 2,500 | 100% Research on Twisted Gourdy | Main |
| Eclipse | 1,500 | None | Own 5 or more Toons | Rare |
| Soulvester | 700 | None | 50% Research on Twisted Soulvester | Uncommon |
| Ribecca | 300 | None | None | Common |
Buying all four costs 5,500 Pumpkins and 2,500 Ichor. Here is what each one does, from the wiki's Toon pages:
| Toon | Stats (SC / Move / Stam / Stealth / Extract) | Ability |
|---|---|---|
| Gourdy | 5 / 4 / 1 / 1 / 5 | Trick or Treat gives a random 20% boost for 15 seconds to Toons in range (35 second cooldown). Sugar Rush gives everyone a 20% speed boost for 5 seconds when the elevator opens and when Panic Mode starts. |
| Eclipse | 3 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 3 | Total Eclipse turns her into a werewolf in Blackouts: +2 Stamina stars, +20% Movement Speed, and a brief highlight of every Twisted on the floor. |
| Soulvester | 5 / 1 / 1 / 3 / 5 | Soul Shield spends a heart to guard an ally. He teleports to block their next damage and stuns the attacker for 1.5 seconds. |
| Ribecca | 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 | The Undead makes her immune to applied debuffs, and whenever the immunity triggers she gets a random buff for 10 seconds. |
By stat, Gourdy and Soulvester are the strongest of the four. On the Dandy's World tier list, Gourdy ranks first of 40 at 31.5 and Soulvester is joint second at 29, while Eclipse and Ribecca sit in C tier at 25. Price doesn't track that gap: Soulvester at 700 Pumpkins is the cheapest S-tier Toon by listed price.
The requirements decide which one is realistic. Ribecca has none and costs the least, 300 Pumpkins. Eclipse needs you to own five or more Toons. Soulvester needs 50% research on Twisted Soulvester, which is Uncommon, and Gourdy needs 100% research on Twisted Gourdy, which is a Main Twisted.
Research for Gourdy and Soulvester
The wiki's Twisteds page says Holiday Twisteds only spawn during their event, and that at least one Holiday Twisted is guaranteed on the Halloween Floor, which appears on every floor that is a multiple of 5. The event Main Twisted, which here is Twisted Gourdy, is guaranteed to appear every 20 floors. Main Twisteds can't spawn before floor 5 and gain only 4 spawn weight every 5 floors afterward.
Put the research numbers together: each spawn gives 2% from capsules and 5% from the encounter, so 7% per spawn, or 14% as Rodger. The wiki's own estimate is that an ordinary Toon needs 14 full spawns plus two capsules or one encounter for 100%. That is 14 or 15 runs that reach floor 20 for Twisted Gourdy if floor 20 is the only guaranteed spawn, and the deeper the run the sooner the Main weight can produce him on its own. Soulvester needs only half that, about 8 spawns of his Uncommon Twisted. Check the Twisteds menu in the lobby for progress you already have.
The returning Twisteds and trinkets
Each Toon has a Twisted counterpart that appears in matches while the event runs. The speeds are from the wiki's Twisted pages.
| Twisted | Rarity | Walk / chase speed | Research trinket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twisted Gourdy | Main, Stationary | 18 / 26 (enraged) | Memory Locket |
| Twisted Eclipse | Rare | 10 / 19 | Moon Pack Heirloom |
| Twisted Soulvester | Uncommon | 8 / 16 | Soul Sword |
| Twisted Ribecca | Common | 10 / 18 | Bone Needle and Thread |
Twisted Gourdy has an enrage meter tied to gifting him items. When the meter is full he enrages and gets a large speed boost, and the wiki says Panic Mode enrages him immediately. Once he is enraged he cannot calm down, and the speeds above are his enraged ones.
Finishing 100% research on a Twisted unlocks its trinket for free. The four Halloween trinkets are:
| Trinket | Effect |
|---|---|
| Bone Needle and Thread | Every 10 seconds, highlights Pumpkins, Halloween decor and, since 0.29.1, other Halloween collectibles near you |
| Memory Locket | While you are below full health, highlights every healing item on the floor |
| Moon Pack Heirloom | After anyone completes a Machine, highlights your teammates' locations for 3 seconds |
| Soul Sword | A Twisted that damages you takes a 15% speed debuff for 30 seconds, and Soulvester gets an extra heart while it is equipped |
Because Holiday Twisteds only spawn during the event, by the wiki's rules the research for these four trinkets has to be finished before November 6. The wiki lists no new trinkets for 2026.
New skins, stickers and prints
Cosmetics are where the 2026 event actually differs from last year. Gourdy's Store sells 39 skins on the wiki's event page: 28 returning and 11 new in 2026. The wiki gives no individual skin prices. The Gourdy's Shop trivia puts the skin total at 18,600 Pumpkins, but that figure dates from the 2025 store, which had 28 skins, so it is out of date for 2026.
The 11 new store skins arrived in the four parts:
| Part | New store skins |
|---|---|
| One (Oct 2) | Fuzzy Beast (Goob), Wicked Stitch (Scraps), Toxic Experiment (Waxwell) |
| Two (Oct 9) | Mysterious Spy (Rodger), Steeped Shadow (Teagan), Mossy Stone (Tisha) |
| Three (Oct 16) | Shadow Moth (Flutter), Painted Brain (Gigi) |
| Four (Oct 23) | Batty Shade (Brightney), Curious Stranger (Razzle & Dazzle), Web Weaver (Squirm) |
Skins from outside the shop:
- Spooky-Time pack: a gamepass for 200 Robux with skins for Gourdy, Eclipse, Soulvester, Connie and Ribecca. It also gives 600 Ichor, according to its wiki page. Added in 0.29.1.
- Queens of Mischief pack: a gamepass for 700 Robux with QoM skins for the same five Toons, plus a profile frame and background, 5 stickers and emotes. It also gives 600 Ichor. Added in 0.29.7.
- Holiday Quests: Golden Skeleton for Ribecca, Golden Knight for Soulvester, Golden Wolf for Eclipse and Golden Pumpkin for Gourdy. Ribecca's and Soulvester's quests came on October 2 and Eclipse's and Gourdy's on October 9.
- Advent calendars: Unearthed Spirit (Gourdy) and Found Knight (Soulvester), as described above.
- Mastery: the four Halloween Toons' Vintage skins, which come from finishing each Toon's six Mastery quests.
Every sticker in Gourdy's Store costs 250 Pumpkins. The shop table lists 18 stickers, 8 returning and 10 new: five arrived on October 2 and five on October 16. The Happy Halloween! sticker, also new, is a login reward on the first advent calendar. Seven Queens of Mischief stickers came separately on October 9, and the wiki ties five of them to the 700 Robux pack.
Prints are bought with Pumpkins too. Lost & Found costs 800, and the Eclipse, Gourdy, Ribecca and Soulvester pattern prints cost 400 each, so all five prints add up to 2,400. The event page names more prints, such as Haunted House, Trick or Treat! and Gardenview Halloween, but no price for them.
Trick or Treat Doors
Trick or Treat Doors are a new mechanic that appears on every floor during the event. How many there are grows with the floor number and the player count. Knocking gives a chance of a Trick or a Treat. The wiki counts 15 Tricks (13 without the team variants) and 14 Treats, one of them a legacy effect.
Some of the Treats that change a run:
- You're Welcome! instantly completes one empty Machine near you.
- Pumpkin Patch! drops 10 Pumpkins that only the door-opener can claim.
- Queens Are Back! gives every remaining Toon a 30% Movement Speed and Stamina regeneration boost for 30 seconds.
- Vanguard heals every living Soulvester by 1 heart, Sweet Relief heals everyone by 1 heart if a Gourdy is alive, and No Bones About It triggers every living Ribecca's passive for 10 seconds. These three arrived on October 23.
And some of the Tricks to watch for: SCATTER! rolls a large jack o'lantern that deals 1 heart of damage, Something's Fishy...! slows your Movement Speed by 30% for 15 seconds, Did the lights just flicker? causes a Blackout, even before the usual floor 3 minimum, and You don't look busy enough! adds a Machine to the floor.
Haunted Gala and the Halloween Floor
Haunted Gala is a floor event exclusive to the Halloween event, added in 0.29.1. It shrouds the floor in reddish fog and gives each player a mask of another Toon that swaps their stats and abilities for that Toon's. Like other floor events, it can't occur before floor 3. After that it starts at a 5% chance and rises 2% for every floor completed, with a cap of 30%. The wiki's Masks table lists eight Toons you might become: Astro, Connie, Dandy, Gourdy, Pebble, Shelly, Soulvester and Sprout. A Party Crashers card is tied to the event.
The Halloween Floor also returns, with a new Seasonal Room variant. The event page's introduction counts "2 new limited-time Floors," but the changelog only lists the returning Halloween Floor with a new variant, and "Halloween Stage Floor" appears in the event's map list without a page, so the count of new floors on the wiki is unclear.
The Hollow
The Hollow is Roblox's 2026 Halloween event, and the wiki says Dandy's World is one of 9 featured games and the second one, starting with the fourth week of the Roblox event. It is reached through a Trick or Treat Door in the lobby, live since 0.29.10. A livestream by LimaMosca about Dandy's World's inclusion was scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern time.
The Hollow quest is a run inside a dream that turns into a nightmare, with Astro trying to get you out. Floor 1 is the Halloween Seasonal Room, where Twisted Dandy jumps out of an orange portal and common Twisteds begin to spawn, eventually seven base-game Commons alongside him according to the event page (the Twisted Dandy page says six). To finish, collect 200 Pumpkins. Pumpkins are smaller and more numerous, a Machine gives 25 and finishing the floor gives 50. The weekend doubling is disabled here, Twisted research doesn't count, and once you complete the quest you can't earn more Pumpkins and Ichor from it. The number of Machines equals the number of Toons plus one.
Rewards are the "The Hollow 2026" badge for completing the quest, and back in the hub the Reeling Petal Garland badge and UGC item. The hub has an elevator to 9 floors. Floor 2 holds a six-pillar puzzle that must be solved in 11 turns, and its reward is the Witches Brew-nado badge and UGC item, while Twisted Dandy chases you.
What the wiki doesn't say
- The end of the weekend doubling for Pumpkins is not confirmed.
- No individual skin prices are listed, only the 18,600 Pumpkin skin total, which comes from the 2025 store.
- The Gourdy's Shop trivia totals everything at 26,100 Pumpkins (5,500 for Toons, 2,000 for stickers and 18,600 for skins) plus 6,100 Ichor, and the Pumpkins page ties 26,100 to the 2025 event. In 2026 the shop lists 18 stickers at 250 each, which is 4,500 and not 2,000, and 39 skins instead of 28, so there is no current total.
- Part Five's contents are not listed.
For the costs and requirements of every other Toon, see the unlock guide. For codes that give event items, see the Dandy's World codes guide. The wiki lists no code that pays Pumpkins in 2026.
