The Shoebill is a limited Uncommon pet introduced in the Halloween 2026 update in Roblox Adopt Me!. With its distinctive bird appearance, it is a fun addition for collectors looking for new seasonal pets. Unlike pets that can be purchased immediately, the Shoebill requires players to complete a special Hotel quest before buying it. Here is how to unlock the Shoebill, collect the required items, Buy Adopt Me Pets and make the most of the Halloween event.
 
1. Collect Three Lost Socks and One Headphones
 
The first step is to visit the Crypt in the Halloween event area. Search the graves using Crypt Keys to find the items needed for the Shoebill quest.
 
You need the following items:
 
3 Lost Socks
 
1 Headphones
 
18,000 Candy Corn to purchase the pet
 
Crypt Keys can be obtained through event activities and available task rewards. Continue exploring the Crypt until you have collected the required items. Since the Lost Socks and Headphones are quest items, you should collect them yourself rather than expect another player to trade them to you.
 
2. Complete the Hotel Quest
 
Once you have the required items, head to the Hotel and visit the guest rooms associated with the quest.
 
Give three Lost Socks to the guest who needs them. Then deliver the Headphones to the neighboring guest who is making too much noise. Completing these tasks unlocks the Shoebill's room.
 
Follow the in-game prompts carefully and check your progress before leaving the Hotel. Once the quest is complete, interact with the Shoebill to access its purchase option.
 
3. Buy the Shoebill for 18,000 Candy Corn
 
After unlocking the pet, you can purchase the Shoebill for 18,000 Candy Corn. Make sure you have enough currency before confirming the purchase.
 
To prepare efficiently, participate in Halloween activities and save your Candy Corn instead of spending it on accessories or other event items. If the Shoebill is your main goal, prioritize the currency needed for this purchase.
 
The Shoebill is a limited Halloween pet, so check the event countdown and current in-game availability. Once the seasonal shop closes, obtaining another copy may require trading or another supported in-game method.
 
4. Can You Get a Shoebill Through Trading?
 
Yes. Trading is another option if you prefer not to complete the quest yourself or want an additional Shoebill.
 
Look for players who own the pet and compare offers before accepting a trade. The Shoebill's trade value can change as more players obtain it, so do not assume its purchase price equals its trading value.
