It's the scary season, and to celebrate it Roblox has launched its brand new The Haunt event. This is the first time Roblox has held a Halloween event in years, and follows on from its big The Hunt event earlier this year.

Like that event, there are a number of participating experiences and challenges that players can take part in to claim The Haunt rewards. The main point of the event is to dress up your avatar in a Halloween outfit, which players can vote on in The Haunt's hub world, a spooky mansion called Axbury Manor.

Besides this, there are quests players can complete to claim extra rewards, and new areas of Axbury Manor to explore that will unlock as the event progresses. If you want to know more, we've rounded-up everything you need to know about The Haunt event, including details on participating experiences and when it ends.

To play Roblox's Halloween event, you simply need to head to The Haunt's hub page and launch the dedicated experience. This will transport you to Axbury Manor, the spooky setting for the event. Here you can vote each day on your favorite costumes, take on the daily quests and explore the event's hub world. You can also get transported to any of the participating experiences, by exploring the first floor and entering one of the doors.

How to submit a capture to The Haunt

The main point of The Haunt event is submitting captures of your avatar, which you've dressed up according to a theme. Each day the theme changes, so you'll need to select your Halloween outfit according to that theme to give yourself the best chance of winning votes from other players.

To take a capture and submit it, all you need to do is launch one of the participating experiences in The Haunt. Once you've come across a picture you want to capture, select the camera button on the right of your screen. The icon for this will change depending on what experience you're in. Remember, you can only submit one capture per day. When you go to submit a picture you'll be reminded of the day's theme for The Haunt event, so you can be sure it matches up.

Here's a list of the different daily themes for The Haunt event:

Day One: Creatures
Day Two: Cute
Day Three: Villains
Day Four: Orange
Day Five: Scary

You can vote for your favorite pictures in Axbury Manor, which is The Haunt's hub world. Head inside the spooky mansion into the central, circular room on the ground floor. Near the Headless Horseman playing on the piano is a board which shows the top voted pictures for the day. Next to it are a number of torture chambers players can step into. There's a chamber for each different daily theme. Simply step into the one for today's theme, and you'll be able to vote.

Roblox Haunt rewards

The Roblox Haunt event offers a number of rewards that can be unlocked in different ways. The event's main rewards can be viewed by clicking the Tracker button on the left side of the screen, when you're in the event:

This shows how far you've progressed unlocking each rewards. There are two sets of rewards listed in the tracker - Voting Prizes and In-Hub Gear. The former unlocks when you vote a certain amount of times each day, while the latter are offered as rewards for completing the event's quests.

Voting Prizes

Day One: The Golem of Decay
Day Two: Dark Ravens
Day Three: Void Vampire's Hat
Day Four: Vampire Kitty
Day Five: Abomination's Egg

In-Hub Gear

Day One: Pure Light Lantern (Cemetery)
Day Two: Golden Key Necklace (Maze)
Day Three: Death's Dastardly Cape (Mirrors)
Day Four: Flaming Pumpkin Cart (Pumpkins)
Day Five: Spectral Spectacles (Elevators)

It's important to point out there is one major difference between these two sets of rewards. Even when you unlock a reward in the Voting Prizes category, you'll still have to use Robux to purchase it - albeit at a discounted rate. To purchase one of the Voting Prizes rewards, click on the tracker and then the reward you want to buy. The In-Hub Gear is available to you for free as a reward for completing the accompanying quest.

Here's a list of these extra rewards on day one of The Haunt event, and the criteria needed to claim them:
