Week 2 of the Adopt Me Halloween event reopens the Hauntlet, this time rebuilt as Hauntlet 2 inside the haunted hotel. A new host named Bolt has replaced the old management, the minigame now splits players down different paths, and a fresh batch of pets arrives alongside bellhop accessories and furniture. The event itself runs from October 3 through October 31, 2026, with Candy Corn as the main currency.
Quick answer: Hauntlet 2 adds branching routes and shared team items, plus three new buyable pets — Bolt (10,000 Candy Corn), Skelicorn (120,000 Candy Corn), and the Poltergeist Box (13,000 Candy Corn) that hatches one of three poltergeists.
Hauntlet 2: new host and branching rooms
Patchy is gone, and Bolt now runs the hotel. The layout has been renovated with new doors and areas, and you unlock explanations for them in the Journal as you keep playing. You start a run with three hearts, and bumping into a ghost costs you one.
At certain stages, you choose which area to visit, with risks and rewards varying by route. Traveling to the same area as your friends keeps everyone together; picking different areas separates the group. Hauntlet is now more team-friendly too: items affect every player in the room rather than just one.
Rooms vary in theme as you climb, including a colorful Bounce House stretch and tougher Nightmare rooms deeper in. A single run can pay out well even without escaping — reaching room 21, for example, returned 8,820 Candy Corn and 100 Bucks on the Game Over screen.
Clearing the full Hauntlet rewards the Escaped Hauntlet, Too Sticker, a Legendary sticker that confirms you made it all the way out.
Hauntlet 2 items and what they do
The items you find in each room decide how safely you move forward. The Journal at the minigame entrance spells out what each one does, and it fills in more detail the further you progress.
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Rainbow Wand | Dispels all ghosts in the room |
| Phone | Bolt always lies, so do not follow the arrow |
| Key | Unlocks a safer, richer path |
| Golden Key | Opens its matching door |
| Heart Potion | Restores all missing Red Hearts |
| Golden Heart Potion | Adds one Red Heart but does not refill empty ones |
| Ghost Potion | Grants a temporary heart that blocks damage for one door |
Keys clear the grey locks that bar doors, opening up routes with better rewards. When a key is used, every barred door in the room drops one grey lock at once.
Bolt’s phone arrow always points the wrong way, so treat it as the door to avoid rather than the one to follow.
New Week 2 pets and their costs
Three new pets headline the week, and they show up in the discovery screen and Journal once you encounter them. Bolt and the Poltergeist Box are bought with Candy Corn in the hotel lobby, while Skelicorn is tied to a hidden mechanism in the Crypt.
| Pet | Rarity | Price | How to get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bolt | Uncommon | 10,000 Candy Corn | Bought in the hotel lobby |
| Skelicorn | Legendary | 120,000 Candy Corn | Find the Lightning Lever in the Crypt |
| Poltergeist Box | Legendary | 13,000 Candy Corn | Bought in the hotel lobby |
Bolt is the hotel’s new bellhop, a mechanical monkey pet. Skelicorn is a skeletal winged unicorn brought back to life after you locate a hidden Lightning Lever inside the Crypt.
Poltergeist Box odds
Each Poltergeist Box is a suitcase left behind by a hotel guest, and opening one gives a single poltergeist pet. The three outcomes carry fixed drop rates, so the Legendary is the long shot while the Uncommon fills most pulls.
| Poltergeist | Rarity | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Bubblegeist | Legendary | 4% |
| Bobageist | Ultra Rare | 20% |
| Caramelgeist | Uncommon | 76% |
With Caramelgeist landing roughly three out of four openings, stacking Bubblegeist at a 4% rate takes a large pile of boxes, which is why it is the one most players chase last.
Bellhop accessories for your pet
To dress a pet up as one of Bolt’s fellow bellhops, the lobby sells four themed accessories for Candy Corn.
| Accessory | Rarity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Mecha Heart Badge | Common | 850 Candy Corn |
| Back Luggage | Uncommon | 2,150 Candy Corn |
| Bellhop Hat | Uncommon | 2,300 Candy Corn |
| Mechanical Bolt Mask | Rare | 5,200 Candy Corn |
Other items, toys, furniture, and stickers
A returning can of Slime Mega Neon Paint is back from last year at 49 Robux. Two more pieces of gear turn up around the hotel as well.
- Hotel Bell Throw Toy — 650 Candy Corn — Common
- Pro Ghost Blaster — 29 Robux — Legendary
- Slime Mega Neon Paint — 49 Robux
The Pro Ghost Blaster makes pets jump in surprise when it is pointed at them, with no harm done, and it makes the Ghost Gallery minigame a little easier. The basic Ghost Blaster still clears that minigame on its own.
New furniture rounds out the week, all priced in Bucks: Hotel Lobby Couch (42), Hotel Lobby Chair (32), Art Deco Door (79), Art Deco Window (105), Haunted Hotel Light (47), Potted Nightshade (33), and Tall Potted Nightshade (37).
For the Journal, the Halloween Sticker Pack costs 750 Candy Corn and is Uncommon. It holds ten Uncommon stickers at a 99% rate, including Candy, Jack-o’-lantern, Treats, Ghost Wolf, Bunch of Bats, Small Sip Potion, Rest in Peace, Moon, Black Candles, and Witch’s Broom. The remaining 1% is the Legendary Soulfire Animated Sticker.
Making Neon Reborn Bolt and Skelicorn
Both newly unlocked pets can be fused into Neon pets at the Neon Cave, located below the bridge. Place four adult Skelicorns on the ritual pedestals; the result is a Neon Reborn Skelicorn with orange-and-yellow light on its wings, mane, and horn.
Four full-grown Bolts make a Neon Reborn Bolt, which glows yellow on its shoes, mechanical eye, and mechanical hand. The pedestal lights confirm each pet is placed correctly, and the fused Neon appears once all four are set.
Everything above is live now through the end of the month, so the Candy Corn you bank from Hauntlet runs and the Ghost Gallery goes straight toward Bolt, the Skelicorn, and as many Poltergeist Boxes as you want to crack open before the hotel closes for the season.
