The Halloween Spotlight is '''[[Roblox|Roblox’s]]''' official Halloween-themed event for 2025.<ref>[https://x.com/RBXEventHunters/status/1973798814403498462?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://x.com/RBXEventHunters/status/1973798814403498462]</ref> It’s somewhat a successor or spiritual continuation of past Halloween events like ''The Haunt'', but with a different structure: instead of one continuous narrative experience, this event highlights multiple individual games/experiences under a central hub.<ref name=":0">[https://x.com/RBXEventHunters/status/1973798814403498462?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://x.com/RBXEventHunters/status/1973798814403498462]</ref> Through the hub, players can enter participating games via portals (or links) and complete tasks in each to earn rewards. Each participating game (or experience) is expected to offer 2 badges (an “easy” badge and an “elite” badge) as part of the event rewards. <ref name=":0" />

Because this is a big list, it's possible more games will be announced closer to the event start.

== Rewards & Badges ==

* '''Badges''': Each participating game gives out '''2 badges''' — one “easy” badge, and one “elite” badge. X (formerly Twitter)+1
* '''UGC / Avatar Items''': The event is expected to offer free and exclusive avatar items (hats, hoods, etc.) as part of the reward system.
* Some items might be paid, but many are anticipated to be free through event completion. 

== Mechanics & Structure ==

* The event has a '''central hub''', where players land first. From the hub, they access individual experiences / games via portals.
* In each game, completing event-specific tasks or challenges will unlock the badges / associated rewards.
* Because this format is more modular than a single narrative hub event, players can pick and choose which experiences to tackle (especially helpful for smaller communities or less active games).
* The two-badge system (easy + elite) gives both casual and hardcore players incentive to engage.<ref>https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Halloween_Spotlight</ref>

== Comparisons / Context with Past Events ==

* ''The Haunt (2024)'' was more of a unified event with a mansion hub, costume contest, etc.
* The Halloween Spotlight seems more distributed — many smaller experiences rather than one big storyline.
* Past Roblox Halloween events (like “Halloween on Roblox” 2021) involved community avatar items, game features, etc.<ref>[https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Halloween_on_Roblox?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Halloween_on_Roblox]</ref>
