What Update 9 Actually Adds

Update 9 is the Halloween Dimension expansion for Steal an Egg, the pet-collecting simulator that is currently the most played game on Roblox with over 1.4 million average players in October 2026.[6] The update opened on October 17, 2026, and the Roblox event page lists it as running through October 24.[4] A second part is planned for the week after.[4]

The core addition is a spooky portal at spawn that leads to a brand new Halloween-themed map. Inside, you get three distinct biomes to explore, a questline, an event currency, a haunted train, and a lot of new pets.[1]

Here is what the official patch notes confirm:[

A spooky portal at spawn opens the Halloween Dimension
The Graveyard, Haunted Swamp, and Abandoned Manor, each with 6 new pets (18 total)
Echo the Ghost Dog, who has lost his memories
The Phantom Express, a haunted train arriving every 30 minutes
Candy Corn currency earned from returning eggs and defeating monsters
A Halloween Egg in the Robux store with a rare Zombified Re-Roll chance
Blood Moon and Pumpkin Collection events

The Three Biomes and Their 18 Pets

The Halloween Dimension is split into three areas, and each one has its own set of six collectible pets. You need to visit all three to get the full set of 18.[1][3]

Graveyard: A foggy area with tombstones, mausoleums, and a generally spooky atmosphere. Six biome pets are found here.

Haunted Swamp: A murky swampland with piers, rocks, and the Ghost Fisherman's location. Six more biome pets live here.

Abandoned Manor: A mansion area that holds some of the rarest eggs in the dimension. The remaining six biome pets are here.[3]

On top of the 18 biome pets, there are 12 more pets in the Halloween Robux Egg sold in the store, and additional event eggs available through the Candy Corn shop. That brings the total new pet count to 35 or more once everything is confirmed.[2]

The pet names found so far through community charting include Whiskers, Candy Corn, Jesterpop, Hooded Gerbil, Hollow Bat, Candlefang, Toadstool, Crowshade, Patchwork Imp, Haunted Scorpio, Hexed Pumpkin, Voidseer Pumpkin (Celestial), and others still being confirmed.[2]

The Echo Quest and Phantom Express Ticket

Echo the Ghost Dog is the central NPC of the Halloween Dimension. He has lost his memories, and recovering them is the key to getting the Phantom Express Ticket.[1][5]

Here is the full sequence, pieced together from community walkthroughs:[

Find Echo outside the witch-hat hut beside the cauldron and three mausoleums.[5]
Collect his 4 lost items: the Old Collar (near the Phantom Express station, beside the large tree), the Chewed Bone (Haunted Swamp, beside rocks near the wooden pier), the Stuffed Bunny / Mr. Squeaky (at the Giant Pumpkin Altar), and the Old Photograph (Abandoned Manor gate, left-side rocks by the glowing crystal).[5]
Return all 4 items to Echo. He will lead you to the Ghost Fisherman at the swamp pier.[2][5]
Take the Haunted Rod from the Ghost Fisherman and complete the underwater fishing minigame.[3][5]
Finish the minigame to receive the Phantom Express Ticket.[5]

The ticket is earned in-game. It is not a purchase requirement.[5]

Riding the Phantom Express and Getting the Spectral Mutation

The Phantom Express arrives every 30 minutes, on the hour and at half past (XX:00 and XX:30).[1][3] You need the ticket to board.[5]

The train takes you to a hidden secondary area. Here is what you do there:[

Pick up the Ghost Vacuum
Use it to capture floating ghosts, which gives you Haunted Spirits (Souls)[2]
Trade your Souls at the Soul Extractor altar for a Spectral Mutation consumable[2][5]

The exchange rate reported by players is 500 Souls for 1 Spectral Mutation consumable, and the interface shows a 25% success rate, meaning the consumable does not guarantee a successful mutation.[5]

Candy Corn, Blood Moon, and Event Eggs

Candy Corn is the Halloween event currency. You earn it by returning eggs and defeating monsters in the Halloween Dimension.[1][4]

The main use is the giant pumpkin shop at the Halloween spawn. The limited Halloween Dimension Egg costs 2,250 Candy Corn.[4][5]

Two events can boost your Candy Corn gains:[

Blood Moon: A random event that doubles Candy Corn drops[4]
Pumpkin Collection Event: Catch pumpkins around the map for extra Candy Corn[4]

There is also a separate Halloween Egg available in the Robux store. It costs Robux and has roughly a 1% chance to re-roll into a Zombified pet, along with 11 other Halloween-themed pets.[2][4]

Tips Before You Jump In

[*]Plan your time. The event runs through October 24 and the biomes are large. If you want all 18 biome pets, give yourself a few sessions rather than one rushed run.[3]
[*]Watch for the Blood Moon. Since it doubles Candy Corn, it is the fastest way to save up for the 2,250 Candy Corn event egg.[4]
[*]Save your Souls for the Spectral Mutation. The 25% success rate means you will likely need multiple consumables, each costing 500 Souls.[5]
[*]Check the train schedule. The Phantom Express comes every 30 minutes, so plan your boarding time to avoid waiting around.[3]
[*]Part 2 is expected the week after October 24, so do not panic if you miss something in part 1. The event is not disappearing forever.[4]
