Start the Halloween candy quest
To finish the Halloween candy quest in Flee the Facility, deposit 100 candy and escape as a Survivor. Earning candy is only part of the job: you also need to bank it and complete the escape that triggers your reward. This flee the facility quest tutorial covers earning, depositing, and claiming, including the separate reward pickup in The Hollow.
When the event is active, click its logo to inspect the objective. The Still Alive walkthrough on YouTube specifies that quest progress is available in public servers only. Join a public server before spending time collecting candy; private servers do not qualify for this quest.
| Requirement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Eligible server | Play in a public server |
| Candy objective | Deposit 100 candy into the quest bucket |
| Survivor activities | Hack computers and rescue teammates |
| Beast activities | Hit, capture, and freeze Survivors |
| Completion step | Escape as a Survivor after reaching the target |
Keep track of both your carried candy and your deposited total. A counter showing candy earned during play does not necessarily mean that candy has been added toward the 100-candy objective. Visit the marked bucket and check the total after depositing.
Earn candy as a Survivor
Survivors earn candy through computer hacking and teammate rescues. Hacking includes the timed E checks that appear while you work, as well as finishing computers. These actions fit into the normal round objective, allowing you to build quest progress while helping your team open the exits.
The Still Alive walkthrough demonstrates a three-candy reward for a successful timed hacking check and reports a three-candy penalty when the Beast hits you.
| Survivor action | Candy effect |
|---|---|
| Pass a timed hacking check | Gain 3 candy |
| Finish a computer | Earn candy |
| Rescue a teammate | Earn candy |
| Get hit by the Beast | Lose 3 candy |
Exact rewards for completing computers and rescuing teammates have not been officially confirmed. Check your candy counter to see what each action adds.
A practical Survivor routine is to:
- Find a computer and start hacking.
- Complete the timed checks as they appear.
- Rescue teammates when you have a reasonable opportunity.
- Visit the marked bucket to deposit your candy.
- Continue helping with computers until an exit becomes available.
Earn candy as the Beast
Beast rounds award candy for hitting, capturing, and freezing Survivors. In the Still Alive walkthrough, a hit earns five candy, and placing the caught Survivor in a freezing tube earns another five. Freezing also contributes, although that walkthrough does not establish a separate fixed amount for it.
| Beast action | Candy effect |
|---|---|
| Hit a Survivor | Gain 5 candy |
| Capture a Survivor in a tube | Gain 5 candy |
| Freeze a Survivor | Earn candy |
| A caught Survivor leaves | Lose candy; deduction unspecified |
The same walkthrough reports a penalty if a Survivor you have caught leaves the game. Because that departure is outside your control, watch the quest counter instead of calculating your final total solely from the number of hits and captures.
Play through the normal Beast objectives and check how much quest progress you have afterward. A round with several successful actions can move you closer to the target, but reaching 100 does not remove the final escape requirement.
If you reach 100 candy as the Beast, complete a subsequent Survivor round and escape. The Still Alive walkthrough demonstrates this sequence: the player reaches the candy target during a Beast round, then receives the set after escaping in the following Survivor round.
Deposit candy and complete your escape
Follow the candy bucket marker on your current map to find the deposit location. The Hollow reward walkthrough on YouTube demonstrates using this marker to locate the bucket while playing. You do not need a particular map to carry out the basic collection process.
Use this sequence to move from earning candy to completing the quest:
- Earn candy through your role’s activities. Hack and rescue as a Survivor, or hit, capture, and freeze as the Beast.
- Find the marked bucket. Follow its symbol rather than assuming the location from a previous map.
- Deposit your candy. The Still Alive walkthrough uses E to interact with the bucket.
- Check the deposited total. Continue collecting and depositing until it reaches 100.
- Finish a Survivor round by escaping. If you reached the target as the Beast, do this in a later Survivor round.
There is a disagreement between the walkthroughs about the 30-candy limit. The Still Alive walkthrough describes it as a per-round cap. The Hollow reward walkthrough describes it as the amount you can carry at once and shows the target being reached during a third map. Those descriptions do not establish one consistent minimum number of rounds.
Plan around the counters you can see: deposit regularly, check your saved progress, and continue until the bucket reaches 100. Avoid relying on an exact match count when deciding how much time to leave for the quest.
Once your bucket is full, focus on completing the round’s escape objective. The Hollow reward walkthrough identifies a yellow door icon as the exit marker after the necessary tasks are complete. Reach the exit and escape to finish the demonstrated quest sequence.
Claim the set and The Hollow reward
The walkthroughs show two reward paths associated with completing the candy objective and escaping. One demonstrates an in-game set in Flee the Facility; the other demonstrates a badge followed by a reward pickup in The Hollow. Check which reward you are pursuing so you complete its claim step.
| Reward | Claim process shown | Public walkthrough |
|---|---|---|
| Still Alive set | Escape after reaching 100 candy, then check inventory | Still Alive walkthrough |
| Completion badge | Awarded after the successful quest escape | Hollow reward walkthrough |
| Beast Hammer and 10 tickets | Visit the Flee the Facility room in The Hollow | Hollow reward walkthrough |
For the Still Alive set, look for the reward notification after escaping. Then open your Flee the Facility inventory to confirm that the set is present. The Still Alive walkthrough uses this inventory check as its final confirmation.
That walkthrough also reports cases where reaching 100 during a Survivor round did not immediately award the set. Its suggested workaround is to play another Survivor round and escape again. Treat this as a reported workaround rather than a guaranteed fix for every missing reward.
For the Beast Hammer reward, the Hollow reward walkthrough shows these additional steps:
- Complete the candy quest and receive the badge.
- Join The Hollow.
- Go to the first floor and enter the maze.
- Find the Flee the Facility room.
- Collect the hammer reward, which the walkthrough says includes 10 tickets.
FAQ
Does this flee the facility quest tutorial work in private servers?
No. The Still Alive walkthrough explicitly limits the quest to public servers. Start in a public server before attempting the collection objective, even if a private server would make it easier to coordinate with friends.
Do I need to collect all 100 candy in one round?
No. The quest is demonstrated across multiple rounds, with deposits contributing toward the overall target. Keep adding candy to the bucket until its total reaches 100, then complete the required Survivor escape.
Is 30 candy a carrying limit or a round limit?
The walkthroughs disagree. One calls it a per-round limit, while the other calls it a carrying limit. Follow the counter shown in your game and deposit regularly; a guaranteed number of rounds has not been established.
What happens if I reach 100 while playing the Beast?
You still need to escape as a Survivor afterward. The Still Alive walkthrough reaches 100 in a Beast round and receives the set after the next successful Survivor escape.
Will dying erase my deposited candy?
Whether death removes deposited candy has not been officially confirmed. A hit penalty is reported, but that alone does not establish what happens to banked progress on death. Check the quest total before assuming that you must collect everything again.
Why did I get a badge but no hammer?
The Hollow reward walkthrough shows a separate claim step. After earning the badge, join The Hollow and find the Flee the Facility room in the first-floor maze. The hammer and accompanying tickets are collected there.
