How to Unlock the Shoebill Pet in Adopt Me Guide

The Halloween 2026 event in Adopt Me! has added several new pets to collect, including the Shoebill. However, getting this pet requires more than simply collecting Candy Corn. You must first explore the Crypt, find several hidden items, and help some characters inside the Hotel before Shoebill becomes available. In this guide, we will explain how to unlock Shoebill, where to find the required items, and how much Candy Corn you need to purchase the pet.

How to Unlock Shoebill in Adopt Me!

To unlock Shoebill, you need to complete two main tasks. First, explore the Crypt and collect three pairs of Lost Socks along with a set of Headphones. Next, bring these items to the correct characters inside the Hotel.

Once you complete both tasks, Shoebill will become available at Door Number 7. You can then spend Candy Corn to add this pet to your Halloween 2026 collection. Here is a quick overview of everything you need:

• Three pairs of Lost Socks from the Crypt.
• One set of Headphones from the Crypt.
• Access to the Hotel.
• 18,000 Candy Corn to purchase Shoebill.

Step 1: Find the Headphones in the Crypt

Your first destination is the Crypt, where you need to search through the rooms and unlock containers using keys. Explore the available floors and collect Candy Corn whenever you find it, but pay attention to the items hidden inside the containers.

One of the important items is a set of Headphones. Once you find them, they will appear in your Halloween items inventory. Keep them because you will need to give them to a character inside the Hotel.

The Crypt contains multiple rooms, so you may need to spend several keys before finding the items you want. Make sure to check each available area before leaving.

Step 2: Collect All Three Pairs of Lost Socks

Besides the Headphones, you must find three pairs of Lost Socks inside the Crypt. Continue exploring the different floors and unlocking containers until you have collected all three pairs.

The socks are required for another character who is waiting for them inside the Hotel. Finding only one or two pairs is not enough, so check your inventory before moving on to the next part of the quest.

Your required items should look like this when you are ready to leave the Crypt:

• Headphones: 1 set
• Lost Socks: 3 pairs

If you have collected everything on the list, you can head to the Hotel and complete the next steps.

Step 3: Give the Headphones to Door Number 5

After collecting the required items, travel to the Hotel. You will need to find the character near Door Number 5, where loud rock music is causing a problem. Interact with the character and choose the option to give the Headphones. The character will explain that their headphones broke, making the music too loud for everyone nearby.

Hand over your Headphones to complete this part of the task. The music will become muffled, and the character will be able to enjoy listening to it without disturbing the other guests. This step is important because completing it helps unlock the next part of the Hotel’s Halloween quest.

Step 4: Give the Three Lost Socks to Door Number 7

After dealing with the loud music, look for the character who has been searching for three pairs of Lost Socks. You can find this character near Door Number 7 in the Hotel. Interact with the character and hand over the socks one pair at a time. Make sure you give all three pairs to finish the task.

Once the character receives the missing socks, the final door will open. This reveals the Shoebill pet and allows you to unlock it for purchase. You may also receive Bucks for completing the sock-related interaction, giving you an extra reward while progressing through the Halloween event.

Step 5: Purchase Shoebill for 18,000 Candy Corn

After completing the Headphones and Lost Socks tasks, Shoebill will become available at Door Number 7. You can now purchase the pet for 18,000 Candy Corn. Make sure you have enough of this event currency before attempting to buy it.

Once the purchase is complete, Shoebill will be added to your collection. If you have already collected the other 12 pets listed for the Halloween 2026 collection, obtaining Shoebill will complete the set of 13 pets.

Other Adopt Me! Halloween 2026 Pets to Find

Shoebill is not the only pet available during the Halloween event. Other pets can be found in different locations, so you may need to explore more areas if you want to complete the entire collection.

Boohoo

Boohoo is another pet featured during the second week of the Halloween event. You can find it at the Hotel, making the area worth exploring after completing the Shoebill quest.

Stitches

Stitches is available at the Carnival. The Carnival also features a new minigame, giving players another activity to try during the Halloween event.

Copycat

Copycat can be found at the Manor. This pet is available for 480 Robux and has a special transformation ability that allows it to change its form. After transforming, you must wait around four minutes before changing it again.

These pets have different unlock methods, so make sure to visit the relevant locations if you want to collect more of the Halloween 2026 pets.

Unlocking the Shoebill pet in Adopt Me! requires you to explore the Crypt, collect one set of Headphones and three pairs of Lost Socks, and deliver them to the correct characters inside the Hotel. After completing the tasks at Door Number 5 and Door Number 7, Shoebill becomes available for 18,000 Candy Corn. If you are working toward collecting all 13 Halloween 2026 pets, make sure to complete this quest before spending your remaining Candy Corn on other event items.
