The 99 Nights in the Forest Update Party also called Admin Abuse by the community is the single best event in this Roblox survival horror game. Every Saturday, developers go wild and shower players with free diamonds, legendary blueprints, and exclusive items you simply can’t grind for otherwise. The next one kicks off April 25, 2026, and I’m breaking down exactly when to log in, what to expect, and how to make the most of every minute.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Event Type | Update Party (Admin Abuse) |
| Date | Saturday, April 25, 2026 |
| Duration | 30 minutes |
| Key Reward | 20–40 free diamonds + exclusive items |
| Frequency | Every Saturday before updates |
While games like Steal a Brainrot and Grow a Garden openly call these “Admin Abuse” events, 99 Nights in the Forest officially labels them Update Parties. Same concept, same chaos, developers literally abuse their admin powers to reward every player in the lobby.
Introduced during the Frog Invasion Update, Update Parties happen 30 minutes before each weekly patch drops. Progression is paused (no diamond badges, no Cultist Stronghold loot), but admins compensate by spawning items directly at your campfire and across the map.
This 2026 April 25th event focuses heavily on Daily Quests, three tiers per day (easy, medium, hard) letting you stack diamonds and campfire upgrades across the full event window.
Log in a few minutes early — servers fill fast and the best drops happen in the first 10–15 minutes.

Top Tips:
This Update Party introduces a structured Daily Quest system alongside the standard chaos:
This makes June‘s Update Party more rewarding than average. Even if you miss the 30-minute live window, the daily quest system keeps giving. See our Easter Eggs guide for how recent events structured their reward systems similarly.
Yes, “Update Party” is the official developer term. “Admin Abuse” is community slang for the same event, borrowed from other Roblox games like Steal a Brainrot and Grow a Garden.
No. Every diamond, blueprint, and item collected during the event stays in your inventory permanently.
Not required, but recommended. Public servers fill instantly, which can cause loading issues when thousands of players join simultaneously.
