DOORS: How to Start The Candy Vault for The Hollow Halloween Event

The Candy Vault is the event floor for The Hollow, the Halloween event in DOORS. It sits at the top of the floor list in the lobby. Before you’re asked to break into anything, you open a gate, knock on a door, and take a tour of a manor.

Quick answer: In the DOORS lobby, press HOST GAME, pick THE CANDY VAULT, set players (1 is solo), and press PLAY. Press E on the right gate pillar’s button. Pass the fountain on its right, then knock on the front door with E.

How to host The Candy Vault from the DOORS lobby

Launch DOORS on Roblox and wait in the lobby. Press HOST GAME at the bottom centre of the screen.

Choose THE CANDY VAULT, the top card in the floor list, marked “^ THE HOLLOW EVENT ^”. Beneath it are THE HOTEL, the “REVEAL NOW (SPOILERS!)” card, and THE ARCHIVES.

DOORS HOST GAME menu with THE CANDY VAULT selected, marked THE HOLLOW EVENT, player count 1 and the PLAY button — THE CANDY VAULT at the top of the HOST GAME list, set to 1 player.

Use the arrows on either side of the player count to set your group size. Set it to 1 to play solo; we played it solo. If you only want people you know to join, turn on the FRIENDS ONLY toggle.

Hit PLAY to start. After the loading screen displays “You’re invited to The Estate…”, the run starts in first person.

How to reach Abe’s front door at The Estate

Your starting spot is just before a shut iron gate. Press the button on the right gate pillar to get inside.

Walk up to the right gate pillar and look at the button on it. When a hand icon with E appears on the button, press E. The gate swings open, the title “THE ESTATE” appears on screen, and a “LShift Sprint” hint shows on the path.

Follow the path toward the manor until you reach the fountain in the middle of it. Go around the fountain on its right side. If you walk straight at it, you end up in the basin.

Abe’s tour of the manor

The door is opened by Abe, who welcomes you with “Welcome to my lovely Estate!” A top hat, suit, and cane complete his look; his head is a dark mask featuring one glowing eye. He guides you into the foyer, where a butler NPC remains as the tour unfolds.

Here is what Abe says during the tour:

“And please, call me Abe.”
“Abraham was my father!”
“Tonight will be chock-full of the most wonderful activities among us.”
“How about a showing?”
“Err- here you can see the foyer!”
“Just the most gorgeous marble there, isn’t it?”
“Quite the loveliest living quarters for you all!”
“Oh! …I’ve had the Butler leave some appetizers around for you to look for!”
“Supper should be ready in er… half past?”
“Just make sure not to spoil your appetite!”
“Well. Feel free to explore all of-“
“Most. Of… my estate! Goodness.”

Abe ends the tour with a warning: “And please, my chum. Stay away from my vault.”

The Candy Vault objectives and the manor rooms

When the tour ends, an OBJECTIVES panel appears on the left side of the screen. The panel lists two objectives, “Break into The Candy Vault” and “Explore Abe’s Manor ( OPTIONAL )”.

Manor foyer with the Objectives panel listing Break into The Candy Vault and Explore Abe's Manor — The OBJECTIVES panel shows up in the foyer when Abe’s tour ends.

These are the rooms we walked through after the tour:

Foyer: marble floor, a chandelier, and twin staircases with a door between them.
Dining room: off the foyer, with a long table where DOORS plush characters sit and portraits of Abe hang on the walls.
Kitchen: at the far end of the dining room, where a cook in a chef’s hat works.

You can collect Abe’s appetizers: a plate of food rests on the kitchen stove. Face it and press E once the hand icon appears; the plate is placed in hotbar slot 1. The prompts “X DROP ITEM” and “INSPECT ITEM” then appear, with the latter performed using the mouse. In the dining room, press E to open the desk drawers as well. One drawer contains a red-sealed letter, an eraser, and a pencil.

Halloween store prices in candy corn

Candy corn is the event currency in DOORS, and your balance appears in the screen’s upper-right corner in both the lobby and a run. In the lobby HUD, select STORE at the lower left and find the HALLOWEEN row. The store’s timer is displayed along its top edge.

Halloween item	Price
LIGHTER SKIN	300 candy corn
BATTERY PACK SKIN	350 candy corn
LANTERN SKIN	400 candy corn
GOLD BLASTER SKIN	450 candy corn
FLASHLIGHT SKIN	500 candy corn
CRUCIFIX SKIN	550 candy corn
SCANNER SKIN	500 candy corn

DOORS store HALLOWEEN row with the Lighter Skin selected at 300 candy corn — The HALLOWEEN row in the lobby STORE, with skins priced in candy corn.

The store also sells a BONUS EVENT PASS. It costs 39 Robux instead of candy corn. SCANNER SKIN is the last card in the HALLOWEEN row. For every card in the store, including the bundles, deals and knob packs, see our DOORS Halloween shop price list.

What else we found in Abe’s manor

Once the tour ends you are free to wander. These are the things we found while exploring the manor solo.

Gold coins

A stack of coins on a desk in the upstairs side corridor can be picked up with E. A gold coin counter then appears at the top right, next to your candy corn, showing 10. Opening the bottom drawer of the bedroom nightstand added 5 more. The gold counter is not shown in the lobby, and gold is not a currency in the STORE.

Candies

Wrapped candies lie on tables and benches and inside drawers. Pick one up with E and left click to eat it, and its name shows at the top of the screen: LIFE SAVER, DECENT CANDY, NOTHING?, COUGH DROP and CAFFEINE CHEW. None of them gave candy corn. For where we found each one and what it did, see every candy in The Candy Vault.

Hiding in the wardrobe

The wardrobe next to the bed in the upstairs bedroom shows an E prompt. Press E to hide inside it; you look out through the gap between its doors. Press E again to step out.

Two locked glass cases

Two glass display cases are locked. One stands on the upstairs gallery near the top of the stairs and holds a round bronze medallion with a crescent shape; it has a keyhole.

The other is at the foot of the left foyer staircase, on the vault side, and holds a red book. Its prompt says HOLD, but holding E does not open it. We have not found a key for either case.

Painting titles

Some paintings can be looked at with E. A line at the bottom of the screen gives the painting’s title, such as “This painting is titled “Candy Wrapper”.” for the plushie painting beside the bedroom doors and “This painting is titled “Reclined”.” for the one above the bedroom sofa.

Text This painting is titled Candy Wrapper at the bottom of the screen in DOORS The Candy Vault — Looking at a painting with E shows its title at the bottom of the screen.

How to break into The Candy Vault, and where the key for the locked glass cases is.
Any monsters, how a run ends when you finish it, and its rewards, badges or costumes.
