The Grave Hunt is the new Halloween digging event in Steal a Brainrot. You buy a shovel, dig graves for brainrot parts, then combine those parts into event brainrots like Skooter Skelly, Pum Pum Pum and Spooky Spooky Sahur. The community wiki lists the event as the Dig Event but says Grave Hunt is its real name, so both names mean the same thing.
Below you’ll find how the loop works, every reward with its part cost, and the points where the sources don’t agree yet.
What Is the Grave Hunt, and Is It the Same as the Dig Event?
Yes, it’s the same event. The community describes it as a Halloween event added by the developer Sammy, built on last year’s Grave Digger event. The brainrots tied to it arrived with Update 72, which the wiki’s update log lists for October 24, 2026.
It sits on top of the wider Halloween event, alongside the Haunted Fuse and the hourly Skeleton Event.
| Detail | Info |
| Event name | Grave Hunt (wiki page: Dig Event) |
| Added in | Update 72 (wiki lists October 24, 2026) |
| Core loop | Buy a shovel, dig for brainrot parts, craft brainrots |
| Event brainrots | 6 listed, plus a Skull Lucky Block reward |
| End date | Not announced |
How Does the Grave Hunt Work Step by Step?
The loop is short. The numbers behind it are where you need to pay attention.
- Buy a shovel at the Shovel Shop. The Basic Shovel is listed at $0, so you can start digging right away.
- Dig graves to uncover brainrot parts.
- Collect enough parts for the brainrot you want. Each reward has its own part requirement.
- Craft the brainrot once you hit that count.
I couldn’t find how many digs it takes to pull one part, or how often graves respawn. If you see a firm number elsewhere, check whether it describes this event or last year’s. Don’t mix them up.
Which Shovel Should You Buy?
The wiki’s Shovel Shop page lists five shovels. A higher power value should mean faster digging, though the wiki doesn’t spell out exactly what power changes.

| Shovel | Power | Listed figure |
| Basic Shovel | 1 | $0 |
| Gold Shovel | 1.65 | 5B |
| Diamond Shovel | 2.35 | 150B |
| Lava Shovel | 2.85 | 10T |
| Divine Shovel | 3.35 | 1QA |
Treat that table with care. The wiki doesn’t say whether the last column is a purchase price or an income requirement, and the rebirth gates are still marked TBA. Open the shop in your own server before you plan a purchase around it.
My advice: start with the free Basic Shovel, then upgrade only when the shop shows you a price you can actually pay without selling a strong earner.
What Can You Craft From the Grave Hunt?
The wiki lists six brainrots plus a Skull Lucky Block as rewards. Here is everything with its part cost, the reported chance and the base income.
| Reward | Rarity | Parts needed | Reported chance | Base income |
| Skul Skuli Skuli | Brainrot God | 2 | 30% | $300K/s |
| Skooter Skelly | Secret | 2 | 28% | $2.6M/s |
| Skull Lucky Block | Lucky Block | 2 | 20% | n/a |
| Money Money Cat | Secret | 3 | 15% | $14.5M/s |
| Fang Fang Draculang | Secret | 3 | 8% | $24.5M/s |
| Pum Pum Pum | Secret | 4 | 5% | $31M/s |
| Spooky Spooky Sahur | Secret | 4 | 3% | $46M/s |

Two honest caveats. First, the wiki words the chance column as a “to part spawn” figure, so it most likely tells you how often a dug part belongs to that brainrot. Second, those percentages add up to about 109%, so they’re rough estimates, not a clean probability split. All of it comes from the wiki, not an in-game odds screen.
Another brainrot, Spooketti Tualetti, shows up in one Update 72 list, but I couldn’t find a confirmed way to get it from the Grave Hunt.
Is Spooky Spooky Sahur Worth the 4 Parts?
Income per minute puts the rewards in perspective.
| Brainrot | Base income | Per minute |
| Skul Skuli Skuli | $300K/s | about $18M |
| Skooter Skelly | $2.6M/s | about $156M |
| Money Money Cat | $14.5M/s | about $870M |
| Fang Fang Draculang | $24.5M/s | about $1.47B |
| Pum Pum Pum | $31M/s | about $1.86B |
| Spooky Spooky Sahur | $46M/s | about $2.76B |

Spooky Spooky Sahur earns the most here, but it’s still about 30% of what Skelly and Coffy pays at $155M/s. It also costs 4 parts at a reported 3% chance, so it’s the slowest target on the list.
Skooter Skelly is the interesting low-end pick. At $2.6M/s it earns less than Chicken Zombie ($5.5M/s), but it only needs 2 parts at a better reported chance.
Here’s how I’d rank the event on value for effort, based on the numbers above:
- Best first target: Money Money Cat. Three parts for $14.5M/s is the strongest balance of cost and income.
- Best long shot: Pum Pum Pum or Spooky Spooky Sahur, if you have time to farm.
- Skip unless you need filler: Skul Skuli Skuli, since $300K/s is very low for a Brainrot God.
How Does the Grave Hunt Differ From Last Year’s Graveyard Event?
Last year’s version worked differently, and mixing the two causes most of the wrong advice online.
| Details | 2025 Graveyard / Grave Digger | 2026 Grave Hunt |
| Shovel | Free Agarrini Shovel | Bought at the Shovel Shop |
| Main reward | Candy Corn (about 20 to 50 per grave) | Brainrot parts |
| Brainrot drops | Skull Skull Skull, Pot Pumpkin | Six brainrots plus a Skull Lucky Block |
| Digging | Roughly 30 to 40 clicks per grave | Not confirmed |
| Schedule | Hourly | Not confirmed |
The old event paid in candy that you spent on the Spooky Lucky Block. The new one cuts out the currency and hands you parts directly. If a guide mentions Candy Corn for the Grave Hunt, it’s describing 2025.
Can You Get the Skull Lucky Block From the Grave Hunt?
The wiki lists it as a reward for 2 parts at about 20%. That matters because the Skull Lucky Block normally carries a $500M listed price and holds eight Halloween drops, including Flying Dutchman at 0.5%.

If that listing is accurate, the Grave Hunt is a cheaper way into the block. I couldn’t confirm it in-game, so don’t spend a whole session chasing it on the wiki’s word alone.
How to Keep What You Dig Up
A freshly crafted Secret is a target the moment it reaches your base. Check your Grief Shield status, lock your base, and don’t leave the server with an unlocked base full of new units. Event brainrots can also carry traits and mutations that change their value.
If you want to know what a new Secret is worth to other players, the values list tracks how the market prices them, and the tier list shows where they rank by income.
When Does the Grave Hunt End?
Nothing official says. A couple of third-party guides put the wider Halloween event at about five weeks from October 3, which points to early November. That’s a guide’s estimate, not a developer announcement.
Last year’s Witch Fuse and Frightrot content ran into early November, which is a precedent, not a promise. Dig early, and recheck after any patch.
What’s Still Unconfirmed?
- How many digs one part takes
- Whether graves spawn hourly or stay on the map
- Whether the shovel figures are prices or requirements
- The route for Spooketti Tualetti
- The event’s end date
Quick Recap
The Grave Hunt is the Dig Event’s real name. Buy a shovel, dig for parts, and craft one of six brainrots, with Money Money Cat as the best first target and Spooky Spooky Sahur ($46M/s) as the long shot. Every number here is community-reported, so recheck in-game after any update.
