The second week of Ride a Pet’s Halloween event adds two lava-themed minigames to the Halloween World, both run by a cloaked skeleton NPC. The Lava Race is a scheduled, server-wide competition that hands a Halloween Egg to each of the top three finishers. The Lava Obby is a solo, timed platforming run that pays event tokens on a personal cooldown. Both use the same floating course of grass islands, bones, and giant skulls over a pool of lava.
Quick answer: The Lava Race runs roughly every two hours, and placing top three wins a Halloween Egg. The Lava Obby pays 100 tokens for clearing it within 90 seconds, then goes on a personal cooldown.
Lava Race and Lava Obby compared
The two modes share a course and an NPC, but they reward different things and run on different clocks. One is a group event you wait for. The other is something you can repeat on your own schedule.
| Detail | Lava Race | Lava Obby |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Competitive, global | Solo, timed |
| Reward | Halloween Egg (top 3) | 100 tokens |
| Timing | About every 2 hours | Personal cooldown, about 24–28 min |
| Time limit | None shown; fastest wins | 90 seconds |
| Entry | “Sign me up!” at the NPC | “Start the obby” at the NPC |
The race timer is shared by everyone on the server, so missing a race means waiting for the next window. The obby cooldown belongs to you alone, which makes it a steady token source between races.
Where the skeleton NPC sits in the Halloween World
Both minigames live inside the Halloween World, which you reach through the glowing hollow in a pumpkin-carved tree next to the Ranches in the main map. The portal stays locked until you finish Rebirth 1. A countdown above the entrance tracks how much time is left in the event.
Once inside, the NPC stands between the AFK Zone pad and the Drop Off Candy station, under a “LAVA OBBY” sign that reads “EARN 100 TOKENS.” A timer floating above the NPC shows how long until the next race, with readings like “NEXT RACE IN 1H 10M.” Talking to it opens a menu with “Start the obby,” “Sign me up!” when a race is open, and a “How’s it work?” explainer.
Lava Race: schedule, sign-up, and the Halloween Egg payout
The Lava Race is a server event, not an on-demand mode. As a race approaches, a banner announces it with a short countdown, for example “Lava Race in 41s! Top 3 win a Halloween Egg.” That is the only window to join. Players sign up through the NPC while mounted, and the race uses whichever pet you are riding. The confirmation reads “You’re In! Your Qilin Will Race” when riding a Qilin, and the lobby shows a short timer and a joined count, such as “STARTS IN 0:32 | 1 JOINED.” A “Leave the race” option backs you out before the start.
After “GET READY!” and a three-second countdown, the race starts on “GO!” The course is a chain of small grass islands, stone skulls, bone bridges, and arches suspended over lava. Falling in costs time, so the race rewards a mount that handles short jumps cleanly as much as raw speed.
The finish is a portal pad at the end of the course. Crossing it records your placement, and a winning run triggers the message “1st Place! You Won a Halloween Egg!” followed by a Race Results panel listing winners and your own result. In the footage, a lone entrant on a Qilin finished first in 0:28. Right after, the NPC’s timer reset to “NEXT RACE IN 1H 46M,” which matches the roughly two-hour cycle.
Only the top three finishers receive an egg. In a quiet server with few entrants, simply finishing the course can be enough to place.
Lava Obby: a 90-second run for 100 tokens
The Lava Obby uses the same style of course, but it’s a solo challenge against the clock. The NPC’s prompt spells out the terms: cross the lava in 1 minute 30 seconds and collect 100 tokens. A timer and a +100 token icon sit at the top of the screen for the duration of the run.
- Reward is 100 Halloween tokens per successful run.
- The time limit is 90 seconds from the start.
- The game requires a ground pet for the obby.
- A personal cooldown of roughly 24 to 28 minutes follows each run.
- The obstacles include floating platforms, giant skulls, bone bridges, and red wooden archways.
The sign above the NPC switches to “READY!” when your cooldown has finished, so you can tell at a glance whether another run will pay out. Platforms are small and edged by lava, which is why landing near the middle of each one matters more than rushing.
What a Halloween Egg from the Lava Race is worth
The egg from the race is the same Halloween Egg sold at the event’s egg stand for 350 Halloween Tokens. That puts a single race win on par with three and a half obby clears, or a long stretch of candy deliveries. It’s an Ethereal-rarity egg with a displayed base luck of 1 trillion, and it hatches into one of six pets.
- Pumpkin Toad
- Ghostweaver
- Ghost Cat
- Raptor
- Sabertooth
- Skeletal Dragon
Like any purchased egg, it goes into your egg inventory and hatches once placed in an open nest at your base.
How the lava minigames fit the Halloween token economy
Before week two, Halloween tokens came from three main places: delivering candy to the Drop Off Candy station before it spoils, standing on the AFK Zone pad for passive earnings, and the Yin Yang Ritual’s Candy Pot reward. The obby adds a predictable, cooldown-gated 100 tokens. The race skips tokens entirely and pays out the egg itself. Because the NPC sits next to the AFK Zone, waiting out either timer on the AFK pad costs nothing. Double cash boosts that run during admin events do not double token rewards.
The Halloween event is set to run until November 7, 2026. The countdown above the portal is the most reliable clock, and in the week-two footage it read “Halloween Event Ends In: 21d 0h 10m.” No end date has been announced for the Lava Race or Lava Obby separately, so both are expected to last as long as the event does.
