Roblox RIVALSWEEN 2026 is live, bringing Candy rewards, a new Gargoyle Tower, the return of Zombie Tower and a limited-time chance to earn a free Spooky Skin Case. The Halloween update launched on 17 October, and Nosniy Games has since added a separate case challenge with an earlier deadline.
There are several ways to earn Halloween cosmetics, but they don’t all work the same way. Event Tasks pay Candy and offer a daily Prize Wheel reward, the towers have their own skins, and the new free-case challenges are a separate objective. Here’s where to spend your time and which deadline you need to watch.
Roblox RIVALSWEEN 2026 free Spooky Skin Case deadline
The FREE SKIN CASE challenge event began on Saturday 31 October at 4am GMT and ends on Tuesday 3 November at 2am GMT. Nosniy Games’ Roblox listing says players can complete limited-time challenges for rewards, including a free Spooky Skin Case. You do not need a redemption code to take part in this challenge event.
Open RIVALS and check the event’s live challenge instructions before you start playing. The public event listing confirms the reward and dates, but doesn’t spell out the individual tasks, their targets or the final claim screen. That makes the instructions displayed in the game the place to check your progress. Don’t spend your session grinding Candy or repeating Gargoyle Tower just because you expect either activity to award the case.
The case gives you a chance at a Halloween skin, not a guaranteed choice of one specific cosmetic. Update 24 added five skins to the returning Spooky Skin Case: Web Shooters, Jeremiah, Mimic Wildcat, Xenofrost and Gravelight. The free-case event ends separately from the wider Halloween update, so prioritise it if you want the reward.
When does RIVALSWEEN end in the UK?
The main Roblox RIVALSWEEN 2026 update began on 17 October. An older Roblox event listing showed a 7 November end date, but that listing was taken down and there is no replacement overall deadline confirmed in the developer’s accessible announcement. The 3 November, 2am GMT deadline applies to the free-case challenge, not automatically to every Halloween shop item or tower reward.
Use the countdown in the game’s Spooky Event menu for the wider event when it appears. Candy is a seasonal currency and won’t carry over once the Spooky Event closes, so spend what you’ve earned before that countdown reaches zero.
How to unlock the Spooky Event Hub
If you’re new to the event and can’t open the Spooky Event Hub, start with the 20 completed duels requirement. You don’t need 20 wins; finishing the matches is what matters. The Halloween quests are also tied to your regular Daily Tasks, so clear those before trying to work through the Event Tasks.
When the requirements are met, use the event hub to see which tasks are available and what each one pays. If the hub still appears locked after completing the duels and Daily Tasks, rejoin a current server and check the counter again. Your RIVALSWEEN Candy guide covers the farming routine in more detail.
Candy Rush and the Halloween shop rewards
Candy pays for the seasonal shop items. Event Tasks typically award 15 to 30 Candy, while Candy Rush makes the first 200 Candy you earn each day five times faster to collect. After you’ve used that day’s boost, you can still earn Candy at the regular rate. A few completed tasks each day are usually better than leaving everything until the event is nearly over.
These are the Halloween Candy prices listed for Update 24. The items are fixed purchases apart from the Haunted Chest, whose contents are not chosen by the player.
| Reward | Candy cost |
|---|---|
| Haunted Chest | 30 |
| Jerm Charm | 1,000 |
| Brewery Wrap | 2,000 |
| Acid Splash Universal Finisher | 3,000 |
| Zombie Walk Emote | 5,000 |
The Haunted Chest includes a chance to get the Candy Dance emote. If you’re saving for the 3,000-Candy finisher or 5,000-Candy emote, buy that named reward first; opening lots of 30-Candy chests will eat into your balance. Keep the free-case challenges separate from this Candy shop, since earning Candy alone isn’t the advertised way to receive the Spooky Skin Case.
Gargoyle Tower and Zombie Tower rewards
The big new mode in Roblox RIVALSWEEN 2026 is Gargoyle Tower. Zombie Tower has also returned, and both have different rewards based on whether you escape and whether you survive the run. You can play with friends to learn the floors, but the Towerstone weapon skins require an escape alive and solo.
| Tower | Reward | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Gargoyle | Gargoyle Head Charm | Complete an escape, even if you died |
| Gargoyle | Conduction Wrap | Escape alive |
| Gargoyle | Towerstone Wildcat Skin | Escape alive, solo |
| Zombie | Chombie Head Charm | Complete an escape, even if you died |
| Zombie | Zombie Wrap | Escape alive |
| Zombie | Towerstone Fists Skin | Escape alive, solo |
Inside the towers, clear each floor and pay attention to the weapon, ammunition and health drops. Don’t burn all your ammo on easy enemies if a tougher wave is coming. A co-op run is a good way to learn where the threats appear before attempting the solo skin challenge. Our Gargoyle Tower walkthrough covers the floors and Towerstone Wildcat reward.
Is the Spooky Prize Wheel the same as the free Skin Case?
No. Completing the normal Halloween Event Tasks can earn a daily Spooky Prize Wheel reward. The wheel’s featured cosmetics include the Spider Crossbow legendary skin and Red Moon Wrap. Additional spins can be purchased, but the daily task reward lets you try the wheel without spending Robux.
The Spooky Skin Case is a different item with its own skin pool. It’s normally available through the game’s purchase options, but the limited-time Halloween challenge is offering a free case. The Bat Bundle is another separate purchase. If you’re after the free case, follow the case challenge, not the wheel or the tower reward list.
Are RIVALS codes part of the free-case challenges?
No. Promo codes are redeemed through the normal RIVALS Rewards interface, while the free Spooky Skin Case promotion is a challenge event. Codes can award Keys or cosmetics, but entering a code isn’t the completion requirement for this free case. For code redemption and the published lists, see our Roblox RIVALS Codes guide; check the lobby board for the latest numbered code.
What should you do first?
If you want the free case, check its challenge list and work through those tasks before 2am GMT on 3 November. After that, finish your Daily Tasks and use the Candy Rush boost to build towards the shop reward you actually want. You can then tackle Gargoyle Tower with friends, or try the solo escape if the Towerstone Wildcat is your priority.
The key is choosing your reward first. A Candy purchase, a daily wheel spin, a tower skin and a free Spooky Skin Case all use different routes. Roblox RIVALSWEEN 2026 has plenty to earn, but getting the right cosmetic depends on doing the activity that awards it.
