Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Hollow Event Badge: Tasty Brew Guide

For reference only: Current October 2026 non-wiki guides conflict on meter restoration: SuperCheats says food restores Health and energy drinks restore Energy, while Pro Game Guides says food/drink boosts Energy and Stamina and Health regenerates over time. Treat every food/Health/Energy restoration mapping in this article as an attributed account, not an established mechanic.

The Hollow event turns an ordinary survival run into a candy-hunting scavenger hunt, and the only proof you finished it is the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Hollow Event badge. Earning that badge — officially titled "The Hollow Quest: A Tasty Brew" — is tied to a 20-Hollow-Ticket reward. For reference only, current guides disagree on whether those Tickets arrive with brew completion or through a later Hollow Hub badge-redemption step. This guide walks through where the cauldron sits, how to gather 18 candies quickly, and how to stir the brew without getting caught by the night patrol.

What the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Hollow Event Badge Actually Requires

The Hollow is a cross-experience Roblox event that plants special missions inside many participating games. In Survive Overnight in a Mega Store, the assignment is simple on paper: brew a potion by dropping sweets into a witch's cauldron. In practice, you have to survive long enough to find those sweets while store employees patrol the aisles.

Unlike some Hollow quests, this one does not hand out a UGC item. For reference only, Sportskeeda's October 27, 2026 account describes redeeming the badge for Tickets in the event hub, while TechWiser and Pro Game Guides report the 20 Tickets at brew completion. Because The Hollow is a limited-time event, treat every step below as a snapshot of what the guides reported in late October 2026 rather than a permanent fixture.

How to Start The Hollow Quest

Load into Survive Overnight in a Mega Store and use any "Start new game!" portal in the Halloween-themed lobby. You will be teleported into the mega store map that holds the event-exclusive cauldron and the pumpkin chests stuffed with candy.

From there, the loop is a day/night cycle. Days are for looting food, building a bunker out of planks and barrels, and spotting chest spawns. Nights are for opening those chests, fighting guards, and hauling candy back to the cauldron. Understanding that rhythm is the difference between finishing the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Hollow Event badge in one run and dying with a half-full inventory.

Finding the cauldron first

Scout it before you collect anything. Sportskeeda's guide places the cauldron past the food aisle at the top of a set of wooden stairs, while Pro Game Guides describes it sitting near the store entrance with a candy counter displayed above it. Both point to the same general zone at the front of the map, so look for the large pot with three floating candy icons overhead.

Where to Farm Candy Fast

Three candy types exist, and the cauldron tracks each one separately. You need six of each — 18 total — according to Pro Game Guides' October 22, 2026 breakdown. Here is how each source of candy actually performs.

Pumpkin chest locations worth memorizing

Chests spawn in fixed hot spots, so plan a route instead of wandering. The five locations called out by TechWiser's October 23, 2026 guide are:

• Center of the map — at least one chest is guaranteed here, often near the blue pillar.
• The graveyard at the back of the store — middle or entrance.
• The weapons section — behind the weapons cabinet, and inside the purchase area.
• The play area — multiple chests, easy to spot.
• Toiletries — the toilet paper aisle, though spawns are less frequent, so check it last.

Open coffins during the day

The cemetery is the sleeper pick. Pop the lids off every coffin you pass — Pro Game Guides notes they can contain candy, letting you bank sweets while the sun is still up instead of waiting for nightfall. Some coffins even open into secret rooms with extra pumpkin chests, which stacks with your night route.

Should you kill guards for candy?

Only if you have to. Sportskeeda confirms guards drop sweets, but the drop is random and employees tend to group up when alarmed. The bigger issue is candy distribution: chests and guard drops hand out random types, so you may end up swimming in one flavor and short on another. Keep killing for emergencies, not as your main farm.

How to Fill and Stir the Cauldron

Once you have candy, deposit it into the cauldron and watch the icons above it. When you have met the requirement for one type, the word "Full" appears on that icon. Do not stir until all three icons read Full, or you will waste the trip.

1. Deposit candy until all three icons show "Full."
2. Hold the E key to stir the brew — the action takes roughly ten seconds.
3. Stir during the day. Nights are for chest runs and guard fights, and an interruption mid-stir costs you the whole attempt.
4. Collect the badge the moment the brew completes.

For reference only, TechWiser reports that finishing the brew grants a Pumpkin Slingshot with infinite ammo alongside the badge and Tickets; Sportskeeda's cited account differs on when the Tickets are credited. That weapon is worth grabbing before the next night cycle starts.

Rewards for the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Hollow Event Badge

For reference only, Sportskeeda's cited account says to redeem the badge in The Hollow hub, while TechWiser and Pro Game Guides report that the Tickets arrive when the brew finishes; use the current event UI rather than assuming either flow is permanent. Because the badge is limited-time, confirm the event is still running in-game before you plan a farming session.

Survival Tips That Save Your Run

Candy is heavy and your inventory is small. TechWiser's guide notes a five-item limit, so the practical loadout is a flashlight, a weapon, one food item, and one medical item — leaving a single slot for candy hauling. Pro Game Guides recommends a Katana for cutting down employees who chase you at night.

• Build before dark. Use planks and barrels to wall off a bunker so guards cannot reach you while you sort inventory.
• Eat and drink constantly. Food restores energy and stamina, which you need to outrun guards.
• Respect slow healing. Health regenerates gradually only while you avoid damage, so do not trade hits for candy.
• Silence the alarm. If a guard spots you and starts raising the alarm, deal with it fast — a alerted aisle is a dead aisle.
