The next Admin Abuse event (also called the Update Party) for 99 Nights in the Forest is tied to the upcoming weekly update on Saturday, November 29, 2025.
The developers have scheduled that update for 13:00 (1:00 PM) EST. Admin Abuse servers open shortly before that time and currently run for about 30 minutes.
Admin Abuse for this update will therefore take place in the half hour leading up to the release, roughly:
- ~12:30 PM–12:55 PM EST, Saturday, November 29, 2025 (update goes live around 1:00 PM EST)
The pattern for this game is:
- There is an Update Party once every week alongside each weekly update.
- The special servers open for about 30 minutes and wrap up a few minutes before the update itself.
- The event countdown at the top of the screen shows when the next update is coming; Admin Abuse begins near the end of this countdown.
Local times for the November 29 Admin Abuse and update
The core update on November 29 again uses a 1:00 PM Eastern (EST) global timing, similar to recent major patches. That translates to the following local times, with the recommended window to join Admin Abuse about 30 minutes earlier.
| Region | Update time (new patch) |
Approx Admin Abuse window (join during this time) |
|---|---|---|
| US East (EST, e.g. New York) | Sat, Nov 29 – 1:00 PM EST | Sat, Nov 29 – ≈12:30–12:55 PM EST |
| Brazil (BRT) | Sat, Nov 29 – 2:00 PM BRT | Sat, Nov 29 – ≈1:30–1:55 PM BRT |
| Central Europe (CET, e.g. Germany, France) | Sat, Nov 29 – 7:00 PM CET | Sat, Nov 29 – ≈6:30–6:55 PM CET |
| Russia (MSK) | Sat, Nov 29 – 8:00 PM MSK | Sat, Nov 29 – ≈7:30–7:55 PM MSK |
| India (IST) | Sat, Nov 29 – 10:30 PM IST | Sat, Nov 29 – ≈10:00–10:25 PM IST |
| Philippines (PHT) | Sun, Nov 30 – 1:00 AM PHT | Sun, Nov 30 – ≈12:30–12:55 AM PHT |
| China (CST) | Sun, Nov 30 – 1:00 AM CST | Sun, Nov 30 – ≈12:30–12:55 AM CST |
| Japan (JST) | Sun, Nov 30 – 2:00 AM JST | Sun, Nov 30 – ≈1:30–1:55 AM JST |
| Australia East (e.g. Sydney) | Sun, Nov 30 – 3:00 AM local time | Sun, Nov 30 – ≈2:30–2:55 AM local time |
| New Zealand | Sun, Nov 30 – 6:00 AM local time | Sun, Nov 30 – ≈5:30–5:55 AM local time |
Plan to be in-game no later than the start of the Admin Abuse window for your region. Lobbies can fill quickly, and missing the 30‑minute party means missing a large chunk of free resources and teasers.
What an Update Party (Admin Abuse) actually is
Update Parties are special, short-lived servers that run a modified version of 99 Nights in the Forest as a celebration before a major patch. Players commonly call these events “Admin Abuse”, because administrators temporarily break normal balance by spawning powerful items, chests, and entities directly into the campfire area.
| Aspect | How it works during Admin Abuse |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Runs about once a week, paired with the weekly update. |
| Duration | Originally 1 hour; now around 30 minutes, ending shortly before the update goes live. |
| Party size | Players can form parties of up to 10 players and queue into special Update Party servers. |
| Progression & diamonds | Normal progression is disabled: you do not earn diamonds from surviving days or from the Cultist Stronghold. Instead, diamonds are spawned directly at the campfire, sometimes in large “raining diamonds” bursts. |
| Free starting items | Players are given themed items at the start, such as Update Party signs, party hats, confetti cannons, balloons, Update Party banner blueprints, Update Party tables, disco balls, and multiple Wildfire potions. |
| Extra spawns | Admins often spawn Ruby Chests, Alien items, Admin items, campfire fuel like Oil Barrels, crafting materials, and sometimes rare traders directly at the campfire. |
| Admin‑only items | Some equipment only appears here, including the Admin Axe, Admin Gun, Friendly Gun, Party Hat variants, Admin Sack, Admin Bolt, Admin Log, and Admin Flashlight. |
| Admin interaction | Global admin messages and live item/entity spawns create a more chaotic, event‑like atmosphere compared to normal nights. |
| Game mode feel | The party uses the standard game as a base but with heavy modifications, trading long‑term gem gains for intense, short bursts of rewards and experiments. |
The idea is to reward regular players with an easy way to stock up on resources while previewing content from the incoming patch.
Highlights from past Admin Abuse events
Looking at earlier Update Parties shows what tends to happen and what you can reasonably expect on November 29.
| Update Party | Event date | Notable Admin Abuse moments |
|---|---|---|
| Frog Invasion Update | Aug 22, 2025 | Diamonds and coins spawned at the campfire, plus free coal and oil barrels. Furniture Trader and multiple Ruby Chests appeared right at base. Mammoths, aliens, a Black Bunny, and a Killer Carrot were spawned inside the party area. Free class unlocks, defense blueprints, cooked ribs, cake, and structure blueprints such as the Watchtower and Recycler were handed out. Admins showcased an Admin Axe that chopped any tree in a single swing and an Admin Gun with extremely high fire rate and damage. |
| Talents Update party | Early Talents patch weekend | The party had to be rushed due to Roblox server problems, but still featured a new food (Steak Dinner), the Diamond Machine and Diamond Tree, and a Juggernaut Cultist at campfire. Fuel, several Ruby Chests, chainsaws, Support class showcases, floating player antics, and “raining diamonds” returned. |
| Meteor Update party | Meteor Shower weekend | Campfire was decorated with Update Party props and Wildfire potions. Friendly Guns, party hats, free BBQ ribs, event chairs, and a Pelt Trader on Day 1 were spawned. A Mega Cultist appeared at campfire, and a bug with chairs caused players to float while seated. |
| Taming Update party | Taming update launch | Featured multiple Wildfire potions, party hats, Admin messages, the Admin Axe, and Infernal Sack. A Pelt Trader and a Mega Cultist were spawned near the campfire, alongside BBQ Ribs boards and free chairs. Old Taming Flutes and the new upgrade structure for Good and Strong Taming Flutes were previewed. Ruby and Alien chests rained from the sky, along with diamonds and around 30 free gems, slightly more than the 20 advertised in the promo image. |
| Bat Entity & Caves teaser party | Nov 22–23, 2025 |
The Admin Abuse event ahead of the Bat update focused on revealing The Bat and teasing the upcoming Caves biome.
Developers spawned more than 20 diamonds/gems around base, ran weapon and class demonstrations, and showed live Bat teaser moments.
Co‑op rewards encouraged playing in groups, and limited‑time codes (including afterparty) granted extra gems on top of the in‑game drops.
|
Each party is tuned to the upcoming update theme, but some patterns are consistent: diamonds at the campfire, rare traders or bosses spawning directly in base, powerful admin‑only tools, and at least one form of “raining” loot.
How to spot and join an Admin Abuse server
Admin Abuse events use their own servers and matchmaking queues. To avoid missing the November 29 party:
- Watch the in‑game update countdown. There is a timer at the top of the screen that shows how long remains until the next update. When that timer approaches the 30‑minute mark, Admin Abuse is about to start.
- Look for the event banner and party queue. During Update Party windows, the game’s front page and lobby typically show a special event thumbnail and dedicated “party server” queues.
- Queue with a full group if possible. Admin Abuse supports 10‑player parties, which makes it easier to share spawned loot and defend each other against the more dangerous entities admins may drop into the campfire area.
- Stay in the server until the timer ends. Once the 30‑minute window finishes, Admin Abuse servers shut down and normal update rollout begins.
Joining even a few minutes late can mean missing some of the best free spawns, especially diamonds and one‑off admin demonstrations.
Free gems and codes tied to Admin Abuse
Admin Abuse parties are one of the most reliable ways to stockpile gems quickly, both from direct spawns and from limited‑time codes tied to the events.
| Code | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
afterparty |
15 Gems | Linked to the recent Admin Abuse events and still working in November 2025. |
happyhalloween |
10 Candy | Seasonal code from the Halloween event; useful if Candy‑based content is still active on your server. |
yay fishing |
2 Gems | Redeemed via in‑game chat once you have reached Campfire level 2 and fished with a rod. |
To redeem standard codes, launch 99 Nights in the Forest on Roblox, open the Gems menu button, go to the Codes option, enter a valid code exactly as written, and submit it to claim the reward.
During Admin Abuse itself, developers usually spawn additional 20+ Diamonds/Gems directly around the campfire area. Combined with codes and raining diamonds effects, a single 30‑minute party can easily fund several new class purchases or upgrades.
The key takeaway for November 2025 is simple: the next Admin Abuse Update Party happens in the half hour before the November 29, 2025, 1:00 PM EST update. Join a little early for your time zone, queue into the event servers with friends, and treat the chaos as both a celebration and a chance to refill your diamonds before the next chapter of 99 Nights in the Forest unfolds.
