99 Nights in the Forest Hedge Maze Refresh at a Glance
SUMMARY: This section gives you the whole 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh in one quick table, including the dates, the headline additions, and the shop price to save for.
99 Nights in the Forest is a Roblox survival game where you build a safe campsite and survive 99 days in a forest stalked by the Deer. Its Halloween event adds trick-or-treating, a candy currency, and a Halloween Shop, and the Hedge Maze is its spookiest attraction. The developers describe the new maze as “spookier and scarier and better.”
| Fact | What it means for the 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh |
| Update | Hedge Maze Refresh, live October 31, 2026 |
| Ends | November 7, 2026, per the event listing |
| Headline change | Reworked maze layout and traps |
| New treasures | New rewards hidden inside the maze |
| New class | Witch, from the Halloween Shop |
| Witch price | 2,000 Candy Corns |
| What the Witch does | Throws potions that damage enemies and apply negative effects |
The key point is the window. The refresh is limited-time, not permanent, so the maze, the shop items, and the class all belong to this event period.
When Does the Hedge Maze Refresh End?
SUMMARY: This section explains the 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh dates and time zones, plus one honest caveat about the listing end time.
The Hedge Maze Refresh released on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 1:00 PM EDT, which is 10:00 AM PDT. The Roblox event listing runs through November 7, 2026, with the listing end shown as 2:30 AM Pacific on November 7, or 5:30 AM Eastern, after the United States daylight saving change.
| Region | Refresh starts | Listing ends |
| US Pacific | Saturday, October 31, 10:00 AM | Saturday, November 7, 2:30 AM |
| US Eastern | Saturday, October 31, 1:00 PM | Saturday, November 7, 5:30 AM |
| UTC | Saturday, October 31, 5:00 PM | Saturday, November 7, 10:30 AM |
One caveat matters: the listing end time does not necessarily mean the maze itself is removed at that exact hour. Treat November 7 as your deadline and do not plan a last-minute run for the final hour.
What Is New in the Reworked Maze?
SUMMARY: This section breaks down the confirmed 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh changes, and separates them from details the developers have not published.
The official patch notes for the refresh are short, and they are worth quoting closely because they are all that is confirmed. The Haunted Maze has changed: the hedges are more dangerous, the paths are less predictable, and plenty of new surprises are waiting for players brave enough to venture inside.
The confirmed changes are:
- Reworked maze layout. The maze has had a major facelift, so routes players memorised from the original maze no longer apply.
- New traps. The notes warn players to beware the vines and take care not to get caught in the hedges, so the hedges themselves are now part of the danger, not just walls.
- Less predictable paths. Turns and routes behave differently from before, which makes mapping the maze on the fly more important than following an old route.
- New maze rewards. New treasures are waiting to be found inside the maze, beyond whatever the original maze held.
- New surprises. The notes promise new surprises without naming them, so expect things the guides have not catalogued yet.
What has not been published matters too. The developers have not released a full list of the new traps, a map of the new layout, or a list of the new treasures. Any guide claiming an exact trap or treasure list for the refreshed maze is guessing, so this guide does not invent one.
The Witch Class: Potions for 2,000 Candy Corns
SUMMARY: This section covers the 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh headline shop addition: the Witch class, its price, and what its potions do.
The refresh adds a new Halloween class to the Halloween Shop: the Witch. It costs 2,000 Candy Corns, the Halloween event currency, and it is a limited-time shop item for this event. The Witch fights with potions rather than ordinary weapons: you throw potions at enemies to damage them and apply negative effects. That is the full ability description in the refresh patch notes.
Two things to know before you spend. First, 2,000 Candy Corns is a serious saving goal, so start earning early rather than leaving it to November 6. Second, the patch notes do not publish Witch level-up requirements, extra potion types, or whether the class stays unlocked after the event, so do not assume permanence that has not been announced.
New Halloween Shop Items
SUMMARY: This section explains what else the 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh adds to the Halloween Shop beyond the Witch class.
The Witch is not the only new shop stock. The refresh patch notes confirm new Halloween Shop items, described as more limited-time rewards to spend your candy on. The notes do not name the individual items or their prices, so this guide does not list them as confirmed.
That gap is worth stating plainly. If you see a list of new shop items for this refresh, check whether it comes from the in-game shop itself or from a guide guessing at unannounced stock. Open the Halloween Shop in game, look at what is actually on sale, and prioritise the Witch first, since it is the one item with a confirmed price and ability. There is no announced way to convert leftover candy after the event, so spend it during the refresh week rather than hoarding it.
How to Earn Candy Corns for the Shop
SUMMARY: This section explains how to build up the Candy Corns needed for the 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh shop, without inventing earn rates.
Candy Corns are earned by playing Halloween event activities, including trick-or-treating and exploring event areas like the maze itself. The patch notes publish no new earn rate or per-activity reward table, so this guide does not invent one.
The practical approach is simple:
- Play Halloween activities every run. Trick-or-treating and event areas are the steady candy sources, so do them rather than skipping straight to survival.
- Run the maze itself. The refreshed maze holds new treasures, so maze runs belong in your candy routine as well as your loot routine.
- Save before you spend. Hold your candy until you can afford the Witch, then decide on smaller shop items with what is left.
- Do not wait until November 6. A 2,000-currency goal needs several days of runs.
If a farming guide quotes an exact candies-per-hour figure for the refreshed maze, treat it as unconfirmed unless it shows its own test. The Witch price and the event dates are confirmed; the farming speed is not.
How to Survive the Reworked Maze
SUMMARY: This section gives practical 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh survival tips based only on what the patch notes confirm about the new maze.
The reworked maze punishes players who rush it like the old one:
- Forget the old route. The layout is reworked and the paths are less predictable, so do not follow a memorised route from the original maze.
- Watch the hedges, not just the path. The notes warn about vines and getting caught in the hedges, so keep distance from hedge walls and move carefully through narrow turns.
- Go in with a team if you can. More dangerous hedges and unknown surprises favour a group that can watch corners, rather than a solo run into an unmapped maze.
- Bring light and healing. A longer, trickier route means more time inside, so pack supplies before you enter.
- Loot as you go, but do not linger. New treasures are hidden inside, yet every extra minute is another chance for a trap.
- Save the Witch for the maze. If you buy the class, its potion damage and negative effects give you a ranged answer to whatever the maze throws at you.
Treat the first run as scouting: learn the new layout, note where the vines catch you, and only then plan a serious loot run.
What Happens After November 7?
SUMMARY: This section explains what the 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh deadline means for the maze, the shop, and the Witch class.
When the event listing ends on November 7, the refresh period is over. The refreshed maze, its new treasures, and the new Halloween Shop items are limited-time Halloween content, so they should be treated as leaving with the event unless the developers announce otherwise. The core game keeps running as normal; what ends is the Halloween layer, including the chance to buy the Witch class at 2,000 Candy Corns during this event. No return date or extension has been announced.
Last-Day Checklist
SUMMARY: This section gives you a short 99 nights in the forest hedge maze refresh checklist to finish before November 7.
- Run the refreshed maze at least once to learn the new layout and traps.
- Earn and save 2,000 Candy Corns for the Witch class if you want it.
- Buy the Witch from the Halloween Shop before the event ends.
- Spend remaining Candy Corns on other limited-time shop items.
- Collect the new maze treasures while the refresh is live.
- Do not leave maze runs or shop purchases to the final hour on November 7.
