The Hauntlet minigame in Adopt Me has become one of the most talked-about challenges in the current Halloween event. Players are racing to survive all 100 doors, but only a few have managed to do it. If you keep getting stuck midway, it might be because you’re unknowingly making some key mistakes. In this guide, we’ll break down six common errors that stop players from reaching Door 100 — and what you should do instead.
6 Tips to Do to Reach Door 100 Hauntlet Minigame Adopt Me
1. Don’t Play on Private Servers
While private servers might seem safer, they actually make the Hauntlet harder. You’ll often lack important survival items like the Heart Potion, Monster Repellent, Cell Phone, or Rainbow Wand. These items spawn more frequently in public servers, where you can also team up with other players to share clues and progress faster.
In short — go public, not private — unless you’re extremely lucky or experienced.
2. Don’t Trust the Cell Phone
The Cell Phone item might look helpful, but it’s deceptive. The phone’s clues often lie about which door is safe because of Patchy’s trickery. Instead of relying on it, use the phone only to eliminate doors you know are unsafe. Combine clues with your teammates to avoid false leads and stay alive longer.
3. Don’t Waste the Golden Key
The Golden Key is one of the rarest items in the Hauntlet. Some players waste it on normal locked doors, but that’s a big mistake. Save the Golden Key for special golden doors, which offer much better rewards. Use it only when you’re down to your last heart and absolutely need it to survive. Strategic use is key to reaching the final stages safely.
4. Don’t Open Electric Doors on Low Hearts
Electric doors can be tempting because they sometimes drop valuable items, but they’re risky. If you open one while low on hearts, you’ll lose a heart instantly from the shock, even if you survive. It’s better to skip these until you’ve healed with a Heart Potion. If your health is full, then you can take the risk — but always prepare for the hit.
5. Don’t Use the Rainbow Wand Too Early
The Rainbow Wand is your emergency lifesaver. It guarantees one safe door, which can turn the tide during tough rooms. However, many players make the mistake of using it too soon. Hold onto it for later levels — ideally after Door 70 — when the rooms become more unpredictable and mistakes cost more. Use your other items first and keep the wand for when you truly need it.
6. Don’t Chase Dangerous Doors for Rewards
Hauntlet has six door types — and yes, the more dangerous ones offer better rewards. But at higher levels, the risk outweighs the prize. Choosing dangerous doors too often can lead to instant failure, especially if you face enemies like the Phantom Dragon or Patchy Bear, which can drain multiple hearts in seconds. Play smart: take small risks early, then focus on survival in later stages.
Reaching Door 100 in Adopt Me’s Hauntlet isn’t about luck — it’s about strategy and patience. Avoiding these six mistakes will greatly improve your odds of surviving all 100 doors. Play with friends in public servers, manage your items wisely, and don’t waste your lifesavers too early. With steady teamwork and smart decision-making, you’ll eventually escape all 100 doors and secure your rewards. Stay sharp, play safe, and good luck on your next Hauntlet run!
