How to Get the Rune & Key in DOORS Halloween Spotlight
The DOORS Halloween Spotlight event brings a spooky twist to one of Roblox’s most iconic horror experiences. As part of the Halloween Spotlight crossover, DOORS introduces two limited-time badges — “Trick or Treat” and “Far From Home” — which reward you with the Rune and Key items for the main event hub.
This guide covers how to unlock both badges, tips for surviving the event’s traps, and everything you need to know to safely collect your rewards.
How to Get the Rune & Key in DOORS Halloween Spotlight
The DOORS Halloween Spotlight update adds a special “Trick or Treat” mode, which replaces the usual hotel layout with a Halloween neighborhood full of interactive doors, ghosts, and deadly surprises.
Your goal:
- Earn the Rune by completing the “Trick or Treat” badge challenge.
- Earn the Key by completing the “Far From Home” badge challenge.
Once collected, both of these items can be redeemed in the Halloween Spotlight hub to unlock free cosmetics and event progression.
How to Start the Event
- Launch DOORS (Roblox) during the Halloween Spotlight event period.
- On the main menu, select the new “Trick or Treat” mode.
- Click Play and wait for the map to load — you’ll spawn in a spooky suburban neighborhood instead of the hotel.
How to Get the Rune (Trick or Treat Badge)
The Rune is earned by completing a simple task: knock on 30 trick-or-treat doors.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Walk up to any door in the neighborhood.
- Press E to knock.
- A ghost will open the door and give you candy — but beware, not all candy is safe.
- Good candy: Lifesavers — heal and boost your stats slightly.
- Bad candy: Other sweets can poison or damage you.
- Keep knocking on doors until your task counter reaches 30.
- Once all 30 are complete, you’ll automatically unlock the “Trick or Treat” badge, and the Rune will be added to your Halloween Spotlight progress.
Tips
- Dying doesn’t reset your progress. You can safely respawn and continue.
- Ignore aggressive mobs — the goal is to visit doors, not survive forever.
- You can track your total at the top-right corner of your screen.
How to Get the Key (Far From Home Badge)
This one’s much tougher. To earn the Key, you must reach Door 50 in the Halloween-themed run.
Step-by-Step Guide
- After earning the Rune, replay Trick or Treat mode and progress through the doors.
- Each door advances you through a random haunted segment filled with new enemies and traps.
- Survive until Door 50 — when you reach it, the “Far From Home” badge will unlock, rewarding you with the Key.
Enemies & Hazards
- Gravedigger Executioners: Strong enemies that deal heavy melee damage.
- Ghosts: Appear from doors or corners; can instantly damage you if not avoided.
- Pumpkin Traps: Buried enemies that jump out of the ground to ambush you.
Survival Tips
- Follow the exit signs, but don’t rely on them completely — some are misleading.
- Watch your health bar after each door interaction; some candies will drain HP.
- Use your revive wisely. You only get one, so save it for late-game situations.
- Move carefully — sprinting blindly can lead to trap rooms.
Recommended Strategy
- Move methodically from room to room rather than rushing.
- Avoid unnecessary loot or side areas; focus on reaching Door 50 alive.
- Team up with others if the mode supports multiplayer — revives and distractions can help.
Rewards Summary
| Badge | Requirement | Reward | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trick or Treat | Knock on 30 doors | Rune | Easy |
| Far From Home | Reach Door 50 | Key | Hard |
Once you earn each badge, the Rune and Key automatically sync to your Halloween Spotlight event hub inventory.
What the Rune & Key Are Used For
Both the Rune and Key serve as progress tokens within the Halloween Spotlight central hub.
- The Rune counts as one of the base free reward unlocks.
- The Key helps unlock higher-tier (elite token) rewards once you’ve earned enough items from participating games.
These contribute toward your total token progress for unlocking limited-time cosmetics such as the Spider Familiar, Witch’s Cauldron, or Star Bottle.
The DOORS Halloween Spotlight update is one of the best-designed event crossovers so far — with unique mechanics, detailed maps, and real challenge.
While the Rune is quick and simple to collect, the Key requires patience and precise movement, making it a badge of skill for anyone completing the event.
