- The Hollow Banana Eats badge is earned by completing a crossover quest inside the Roblox game Banana Eats.
- Core objective: find the Hollow key, survive the banana, escape through the exit, then clear the red-door basement.
- Basement task: collect all 8 cake slices in the banana's basement to unlock the reward dimension.
- Final step: claim the prize in The Hollow hub on Floor 6, inside the Banana Eats room.
- Best mode: choose the Escape (1 banana) game mode so only one player is the banana.
Badge Overview and Quest Requirements
The Hollow Banana Eats badge is a limited crossover event reward that tasks players with completing a hidden quest chain inside Banana Eats, a survival horror Roblox experience. The quest spans two stages: first an in-round objective (find the Hollow key, survive, and escape), and second a secret basement challenge behind a red door in the lobby.
Video Highlights:
- Pick the Escape mode with only one banana for the easiest run
- Hollow keys spawn on the ground and multiple can appear per map
- Escaping with the key unlocks the red door to the banana's basement
- Collect 8 cake slices while avoiding jump scares in basement hallways
- Claim the final prize in The Hollow hub elevator to Floor 6
Here is how the quest stages break down:
| Stage | Location | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Banana Eats round | Find Hollow key, survive, escape | Unlocks red basement door |
| 2 | Lobby red door | Enter banana's basement | Access to cake quest |
| 3 | Basement | Collect 8 cake slices | Teleport to reward dimension |
| 4 | The Hollow hub, Floor 6 | Claim prize at prompt | Event badge |
Load into a game and confirm you selected the Escape (1 banana) mode before the round begins. This drastically reduces the number of bananas hunting you while you carry the key.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Follow this sequence from round start to badge claim. Every step must be completed in order, since the basement door only opens after a successful key escape.
Select the Right Mode
Join a Banana Eats server and choose the Escape mode with one banana only. Fewer hunters means an easier survival phase while you hold the Hollow key.
Find the Hollow Key
Run around the map and look for the key lying on the ground. Keys are generally easy to spot, and multiple keys can spawn per map, so keep moving until you spot the glowing pickup.
Survive and Escape
Once you grab the key, keep your distance from the banana. Hiding for the entire round is the safest approach. The exit opens when the timer reaches 1 minute, and teammates solving puzzles will also knock the timer down faster.
Enter the Red Door
Back in the lobby, find the red door next to spawn and interact with it to enter the banana's basement.
Collect 8 Cake Slices
Inside the basement, follow the arrows toward the cake. Hallways branch left and right, so check both directions. Watch out for jump scares along the way.
Claim Your Prize
After all 8 slices are found, the cake completes and you are teleported to a special dimension. Watch the cutscene, walk forward to the prize, then head to The Hollow hub, take the elevator to Floor 6, find the Banana Eats room, and claim the badge at the prompt.
You can only escape once the timer hits 1 minute. Position yourself near the exit a few seconds early so you can leave the moment it opens, before the banana closes in.
Survival Strategy and Basement Tips
Success in this quest depends on smart movement in both the round and the basement. These are the tactics that consistently work.
Key Runner
- Grab the key early before others take it
- Hide immediately after pickup
- Stay far from banana patrols
- Best for solo players
Puzzle Support
- Let teammates handle puzzles
- Puzzles reduce the escape timer
- Keeps banana distracted
- Good team role
Early Exit Camper
- Move to the exit before the 1-minute mark
- Escape instantly when the door opens
- Minimal extra risk
- Best final phase
Basement navigation reference:
| Basement Element | What to Expect | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Directional arrows | Point toward cake slices | Follow as primary guide |
| Branching hallways | Multiple left/right turns | Check both sides each fork |
| Jump scares | Sudden scares in corridors | Stay calm, keep moving |
| Cake display | Shows collected slice progress | Use to track remaining slices |
The arrows always point you the right way, so when a hallway forks, quickly sweep the wrong-side branch and double back. Most players lose time by skipping branches and missing slices.
Prize Claim in The Hollow Hub
After the basement dimension cutscene plays and you walk up to the prize, the in-game portion is done, but the badge still needs to be claimed in The Hollow itself.
The claim route is simple: enter The Hollow hub, take the elevator to Floor 6, then wander the floor until you find the Banana Eats room. The claim prompt sits right inside the entrance.
| Claim Step | Location | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Hollow hub | Enter the main hub area |
| 2 | Hub elevator | Ride to Floor 6 |
| 3 | Floor 6 | Locate the Banana Eats room |
| 4 | Room entrance | Interact with the claim prompt |
Complete the Banana Eats quest and claim on Floor 6 while the crossover event is live. Event quests and claim rooms may be removed once the event period ends.
