The Tales of the Dark King quest launches in Dress to Impress on Saturday, November 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM UTC β that’s 11:00 AM EDT or 8:00 AM PDT β and stays open until November 14, 2026, at 4:00 AM UTC. The three-chapter Halloween story quest runs inside the bigger Night of Scream Queens event, which wraps up earlier on November 7. That split schedule trips players up every year, so I’ve packed every confirmed time and my launch-day plan into this quick guide.

The devs locked the start to 3:00 PM UTC on November 24, 2026, right as the weekend kicks in for most regions. I’d jump in during the first hour if you can β launch-day servers fill fast, and popular quest areas tend to queue hard. Here’s when the gate opens near you:
| Region | Local Start Time |
|---|---|
| US East (EDT) | 11:00 AM β Sat, November 24 |
| US West (PDT) | 8:00 AM β Sat, November 24 |
| UK (BST) | 4:00 PM β Sat, November 24 |
| Central Europe (CEST) | 5:00 PM β Sat, November 24 |
| India (IST) | 8:30 PM β Sat, November 24 |
| Japan (JST) | 12:00 AM β Sun, November 25 |
| Australia (AEDT) | 2:00 AM β Sun, November 25 |
Here’s the detail most guides get wrong: the quest and the event end on different dates. Tales of the Dark King stays playable until November 14, 2026, at 4:00 AM UTC, but the wider Halloween update β Candy minigames, shop items, and the Baddie Pass β shuts down on November 7, 2026, at 4:00 PM UTC. My advice is simple: finish the story quest first, then spend every last Candy before the earlier cutoff, because seasonal items rarely returned.
Tales of the Dark King is Dress to Impress’s third Halloween story quest, first revealed at RDC 2026 on September 11. It drops you into a Greek-underworld-inspired world where the dead still whisper and a mysterious curse blurs past and present. You’ll stand before a shadowy river, dig up buried secrets, and β per the devs’ November 21 announcement β come face-to-face with a brand-new monster, a first for the game’s lore. Unlike the ongoing Lana storyline, this tale stands alone, though fans are convinced the teaser imagery hints at Agamemnon. The official X account also confirmed the full trailer dropped on November 18 at 11:30 AM ET.
If the quest doesn’t show up, update Roblox first, then hop to a fresh server. Remember: the seasonal lobby being live doesn’t always mean the quest has opened β trust the event listing.
The devs haven’t published the full reward list yet, so treat any “leaked” item list as pure speculation. Based on the previous two Halloween quests, expect exclusive limited-time clothing and accessories themed around the underworld. Progression runs parallel too: the new 40-tier Halloween Baddie Pass pays out Cash, stars, and pass-exclusive cosmetics as you climb. You’ll also earn Candy from the new Ghost Hunting minigame, Tarot Cards, and returning favorites Apple Bobbing and Trick or Treat β I’m banking mine for the shop before November 7.
3:00 PM UTC on November 24, 2026 β that’s 11:00 AM EDT, 8:00 AM PDT, 4:00 PM in the UK, and 8:30 PM IST.
Three chapters were confirmed when the quest was announced, but the actual objectives stay under wraps until launch day.
Yes, but it has its own event listing and timer. The Halloween update ends November 7, while the quest runs until November 14.
No β the quest, minigames, and free faces cost nothing. Only Baddie Pass tier skips and the returning Diamond Pass cost Robux.
