Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew Badge: 18 Candies for 20 Tickets

Get the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew badge by farming 18 candies for the Hollow cauldron, plus the safest routes and what the reward is worth.

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.

The Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew badge is the only thing standing between you and a stack of Hollow event Tickets, and it all comes down to one very specific recipe. The quest asks you to brew a witch's potion out of 18 candies, and the store does not hand them out quickly. This guide covers the exact candy counts, the safest farming routes, and how to claim the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew badge without burning night cycles — starting from the official Survive Overnight in a Mega Store page on Roblox.

What the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew Badge Requires

The quest is part of The Hollow, a Roblox event that spreads special missions across participating experiences. In this game, the mission is simple on paper: fill the witch's cauldron near the front of the store with candy, stir it, and collect your reward. Writing per Sportskeeda's October 27, 2026 quest guide, the cauldron sits past the grocery aisles with three candy icons hovering above it, so you can check your progress at a glance.

The actual shopping list is stricter than it looks:

  • 6 candy corn
  • 6 of the purple candy (the one displayed in the middle slot)
  • 6 peppermints

That is 18 pieces total. The cauldron tracks each type separately, so dumping 18 candy corn into the pot will not finish anything. When a specific variant hits its requirement, the word "Full" appears on that icon. Only when all three icons read full should you think about stirring.

Where the cauldron is and how to use it

Walk to the pot, drop your candy in with the G key, and watch the three counters above it. Once every display is full, hold the E key to stir the mixture. The stirring animation runs for a few seconds, and completing it in daylight is much safer than trying to brew while employees are patrolling the aisles.

How to Collect All 18 Candies

Candy comes from three places, and they are not equally useful. The table below breaks down the trade-offs so you know where to spend your limited daylight.

Pumpkin chests: night-only, but the best volume

Pumpkin chests hold the bulk of the event candy, and they stay locked during the day. Three spots come up consistently across community and guide reports:

  • Weapons area — head straight from the cauldron and turn left toward the weapon racks.
  • Center corridor — a chest spawns on either the left or right wall of the north-to-south aisle, so check both sides.
  • Graveyard — a chest reliably appears in the middle of the cemetery at the back of the map.

Spend daylight scouting these locations so that when darkness hits you are opening chests instead of hunting for them. Player experience also suggests an unopened chest tends to stay put rather than despawn, which makes a mental map worth keeping. Be aware that some chests turn out to be fake and can throw a jumpscare at you — annoying, but harmless.

Graveyard coffins: the daytime loophole

Most players miss this. Coffins in the cemetery can be opened during the day, and each lid you pull off may hide loose candy or a hidden chamber with another chest inside. Clearing every coffin before nightfall gives you a head start on the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew badge while the aisles are still quiet.

Employee kills: a bonus, not a plan

Guards do drop candy when defeated, but the drop is inconsistent and they group up fast. Treat a takedown as a lucky extra rather than a farming method. Every candy you bank is still a step toward the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew badge, so a free piece is never bad — just don't build a route around it.

How to Survive Long Enough to Finish the Brew

Eighteen candies usually takes more than one night cycle, which means staying alive matters as much as looting. Three meters decide whether you make it back to the cauldron: health, stamina, and energy. Eat food from the shelves to keep energy and stamina up, because both govern your ability to sprint away from a guard who spots you.

Health is different — it regenerates slowly on its own, but only while you are not taking damage. Pull back after a hit instead of trading blows. Grab a katana or another melee weapon from the weapons racks early, carry a medkit, and pocket a flashlight if you find one, since the store gets genuinely dark at night.

Inventory space is the quiet killer of this quest. Candy eats standard item slots, so balance ingredients against food, healing, and a weapon. Community advice from a creator walkthrough recommends banking candy in trips of three rather than stuffing your hotbar, which keeps you mobile and makes each run to the cauldron faster. If you want zero competition, start a solo session with the player count set to one — the quest does not require a team.

Fill the Cauldron and Stir the Brew

Once you have six of each candy, return to the cauldron and deposit everything with the G key. Confirm that all three icons show "Full" before you touch the stir prompt — if one variant is short, the brew will not complete and you will have wasted a trip.

Then hold E to stir. Do it during the day if you can, because standing still at a pot is the worst possible position when night patrols are active. When the stir finishes, the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew badge appears in the bottom-right notification area, and per community reports you may not need to wait for the full progress bar to drain before moving on.

Hollow Ticket Payout: Conflicting Guide Accounts

For reference only, payout instructions conflict. Sportskeeda's cited account describes taking "The Hollow Quest: A Tasty Brew" badge to The Hollow hub for a confirmation step, while TechWiser and Pro Game Guides report the 20 Tickets at brew completion. As of October 27, 2026, Sportskeeda and games.gg both listed the payout as 20 Hollow Tickets for this quest, with no UGC item attached to the mission itself.

Those Tickets feed the event economy, so spend them at the Concessions shop on cosmetics and gadgets in the hub. Because the payout flow is disputed, do not treat a missing confirmation prompt as proof of a failed reward; for reference only, verify the current event UI instead of repeatedly rejoining on that assumption.

FAQ

How many candies does the Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Tasty Brew badge need?

Eighteen pieces total: six candy corn, six of the purple candy, and six peppermints. The cauldron counts each variant separately, so an even split of six per type is mandatory before the stir prompt unlocks.

Can you farm candy during the day?

Only from coffins in the graveyard, which can be opened during daylight hours. Pumpkin chests are locked until night, and employee drops only happen after dark. Use daytime to clear coffins and scout chest spawns.

Do you need other players to get the badge?

No. The quest is fully soloable, and community advice suggests starting a session with the player count set to one so chests and coffins are not contested. It is RNG-heavy, so expect multiple night cycles regardless of how you play.

What do you get for completing the quest?

The Hollow - A Tasty Brew badge plus 20 Hollow Tickets as listed in guides published October 26–27, 2026. For reference only, guide accounts conflict on whether the Tickets are credited at brew completion or through a later confirmation step in The Hollow hub.
