99 Nights in the Forest Hedge Maze Refresh Update (November 2026) Date & Time

I’ve pulled every confirmed detail about the Hedge Maze Refresh into one place. The 99 Nights in the Forest Hedge Maze Refresh update releases Saturday, November 31, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT, and the refreshed maze stays open until November 7, 2026. Developer Grandma’s Favourite Games promises a spookier, scarier maze this time. Below: exact times, unlock steps, the loot list, and my best tips.

99 Nights in the Forest Hedge Maze Refresh Update

The refreshed Hedge Maze is a limited-time Halloween event inside 99 Nights in the Forest, Grandma’s Favourite Games’ 29-billion-visit Roblox survival game. It originally spawned during [cy-1]’s Carnival event; this refresh reopens it for one final week with a darker twist:

What’s new in the Hedge Maze Refresh?

The developer confirmed the refreshed maze will be “spookier and scarier and better,” and the teaser shows a mysterious figure with glowing eyes watching from inside the hedges. No new monster is confirmed, but that glowing stare hints something waits in there with you.

Full patch notes aren’t out yet. I expect the layout to shift, hiding spots to move, and favorites like the Vampire House and glowing pumpkins to return. The Roblox event description is quiet on new rewards, so treat the list below as returning content.

One warning: permanence isn’t confirmed — the listing ends November 7, so plan runs inside that window.

How to unlock the Hedge Maze?

The gate won’t open without all three Carnival Tickets. My checklist:

1. Spawn the Carnival event. It appears around Day 3 with the message “The carnival is in town.” Burning Flames at the campfire (grab them via our codes guide) forces the Carnival spawn every run.
2. Finish all three minigames for tickets — Ring Toss, Basketball, and Shooting. Each pays 5 Candies per session.
3. Enter the maze gate beside the carnival with all three tickets.

Hedge Maze rewards and loot

Loot hides along every dead end: four Spooky Chests, with the Vampire Chest at the exit. The center coffin hands out a free weapon — I pulled a Scythe last year; a Bouncing Blade is possible too. The Vampire House lets you trick-or-treat in the morning, and a costume booth gives a free Halloween outfit.

Candies fund the Halloween Shop — spend them before November 7. Our Roblox Halloween events guide covers other games worth farming.

Pro tips before you enter

These mistakes cost me runs last year:

• Go during the day. Enter at night and the Deer can spawn inside. I never break this rule.
• Ignore the red arrows. Most are decoys. Follow the right-hand wall rule to reach the coffin fast.
• Watch for wolves. They spawn as traps between hedges.
• Keep your campfire at level 3–4 so the event can spawn.
• Bring a combat class — our classes tier list ranks the best maze picks.
