How to Unlock the Hallway in Brawl Stars
If the Hallway is still locked, finish the earlier Mortis' Mortuary Entrance puzzle first. After the Entrance shows as complete, win three regular battles. Return to the Find Gus map and confirm that its three win indicators are green.
The Hallway does not open simply because its release date has arrived. Both the Entrance completion and three registered wins are required. If the circles have not updated, finish another battle, return to the lobby and reopen the event screen.
Supercell describes Brawl-O-Ween 2026 as a month-long, multi-phase story centered on Gus, with puzzles and community choices unlocking over time. You can read that overview in the official Brawl Stars release notes.
How to Beat the Hallway Puzzle Step by Step
1. Get the screwdriver and jack-in-the-box handle
Enter the Hallway and look near the purple cushion at the bottom-right edge of the room. Tap the glowing screwdriver to add it to your inventory.
Select the screwdriver and drag it onto the metal fastener of the small cabinet on the far left, directly below the jack-in-the-box. Open the cabinet, collect the handle and attach it to the side of the box above.
2. Calm Damian with the frying pan
Tap or crank the new handle repeatedly until the jack-in-the-box opens and frightens Damian. After the reaction, drag the frying pan hanging above the table onto Damian. This completes the first scare-and-calm sequence.
3. Open the closet and find Shade
Move to the tall closet on the right side. Open and close it repeatedly until Damian reacts to another scare. This time, drag the fish from the floor onto him.
Open the closet again after calming Damian. Shade should appear. Keep Shade available because he is needed at the end of the Hallway. Take the pendulum from inside the closet as well.
4. Set the Hallway clock to 12:00
Drag the pendulum into the broken section of the grandfather clock. Use the clock controls until both hands point straight up at 12:00 midnight.
When the clock sequence triggers another Damian reaction, use the shovel on him. The lower clock compartment then opens or breaks, revealing the antenna required for the radio.
5. Repair the radio and select station 5
Collect the antenna from the clock and drag it onto the old radio on the table. The antenna must also be tightened: select the screwdriver and use it on the radio after placing the antenna.
Press the radio's right arrow until it reaches station 5. Continue the interaction until Damian reacts, then use the screwdriver on Damian. The portrait on the right wall falls and exposes a skull-shaped key.
6. Get the cymbals and wind up Shade
Take the skull key from behind the fallen portrait. Open the right closet and use the key on the small safe inside. Collect the cymbals and drag them onto Shade.
Tap Shade repeatedly to wind him up. After the final sequence and dialogue, Damian leaves through the window. Press the reward button to collect one Chaos Drop. A green checkmark on the event map confirms that the Hallway is complete.
Brawl Stars Hallway Color-Safe Code
The four-color safe underneath the radio is an optional puzzle. Move the cloth below the radio table to reveal it, then cycle the four corners into this layout:
| Safe position | Correct color |
|---|---|
| Top left | Purple |
| Top right | Yellow |
| Bottom left | Green |
| Bottom right | Red |
Use yellow in the top-right corner, not orange. Once the safe opens, tap the Pin inside to claim it. This is a general Player Pin with Damian artwork, so look in your Player Pin collection rather than Damian's individual Brawler cosmetics.
The safe is not required for the Hallway checkmark. You can finish the main route, collect the Chaos Drop and return for the Pin afterward.
Which Items Calm Damian?
Damian needs a different item after each scare. Using the correct item at the wrong point usually does nothing.
| Hallway scare | Item to use |
|---|---|
| Jack-in-the-box | Frying pan |
| Repeated closet opening | Fish |
| Clock set to 12:00 | Shovel |
| Radio tuned to station 5 | Screwdriver |
Why Is the Hallway Puzzle Not Working?
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Hallway door remains locked | Entrance or three-win requirement is incomplete | Finish the Entrance and make all three win circles green |
| Clock controls do nothing | The pendulum is not installed | Take it from the closet and fit it before changing the time |
| Station 5 does not trigger | The antenna is loose | Install the antenna and tighten it with the screwdriver |
| Damian ignores an item | The room is waiting for a different sequence step | Return to the most recent unsolved object and use the matching item |
| The color safe stays closed | A corner uses orange or the positions are reversed | Use Purple/Yellow above Green/Red |
| The Pin seems missing | You checked Damian's Brawler Pins | Check the general Player Pin collection |

Final Hallway Tips
The fastest way to beat the Hallway in Brawl Stars is to respect the room's order. Keep the screwdriver after opening the first cabinet because it is used again on the radio and Damian. Remember the two key answers—12:00 on the clock and station 5 on the radio—then finish the skull-key and Shade sequence.
If you only want progression, claim the Chaos Drop first. If you want every Hallway reward, return to the radio table and open the Purple/Yellow/Green/Red safe for the Pin.
