LEGO Fortnite Haunted Cheese Hideaway is a free Halloween Creator Build by Kaz, and you can claim it from October 22 to 28, 2026 during the Brick or Treat event. A pop-up in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey lets you collect it, and the claimed build stays yours after the event ends. The same week adds five Calcitor’s Jaws props, which you earn separately through the Journal. However, one outlet lists the claim window as ending October 29, so claim it early to be safe.

What the Haunted Cheese Hideaway Is
The Haunted Cheese Hideaway is one of two community builds in Brick or Treat 2026. Kaz designed it, and the Odyssey Wiki describes it as a lakeside hideout lit up under a grinning moon, with a cheese theme. The other community build is Bakeneco’s Pumpkin Juggernaut, a pumpkin mech with cannons.
Community builds carry a Creator Crest, which separates player-made designs from Epic’s own prefabs. Epic hands them out free in game, and they stay in your collection after the event that introduced them has ended.
Here is how the event’s content rolls out:
| Date | What arrives |
|---|---|
| October 15 | Three Kraken props and Bakeneco’s Pumpkin Juggernaut |
| October 22 | Kaz’s Haunted Cheese Hideaway and five Calcitor’s Jaws props |
| October 29 | Count Brickula’s Crypt decorations and the final quest week |
| November 5 to 12 | Catch-up window to finish missed quests |
| November 12 | Brick or Treat ends |
How to Get the Haunted Cheese Hideaway
Claiming the build is simple, based on how the event pages describe it:
- Start LEGO Fortnite Odyssey once the October 22 content is live.
- Look for the featured build pop-up. Epic announces featured Creator Builds through a pop-up with the Creator Crest and the artist’s name.
- Claim Kaz’s Haunted Cheese Hideaway. Confirm that the name and the creator match.
- Open your build collection. The build then sits there for you to place.
One Japanese guide reports that the build was available the moment the player entered the world, which suggests no quest is needed. Nothing in the official pages I found says otherwise. The claim is a separate step from the Journal quests, so you do not need to finish quests first.
A note on timing. The game’s build window matters more than your own schedule, so pick it up on October 22 or soon after. The Odyssey Wiki lists the build as available October 22 to 28, while TheClick describes a rollout running into the 29th. Treat October 28 as the safe deadline.

Why the Claim Window Is Confusing
One source adds a wrinkle. The Odyssey Wiki says the patch notes list Kaz’s build as the October 15 offering, while in game Bakeneco’s Pumpkin Juggernaut was the one available at that point. In other words, the notes and the game were out of step for the first week.
That is why you may see conflicting dates online. The consistent picture across the Odyssey Wiki, TheClick and the Japanese guide is this:
| Build | Creator | Window |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin Juggernaut | Bakeneco | October 15 to 21 |
| Haunted Cheese Hideaway | Kaz | October 22 to 28 |
So if you missed the Juggernaut, you may want to check whether it still shows in your collection or pop-up list. The sources do not say whether missed builds return, so I cannot promise it.
Calcitor’s Jaws Props: Release Date and How to Get Them
The five Calcitor’s Jaws props arrive on October 22, the same day as the Hideaway. They are Halloween decorations, and you earn them through Journal progression instead of the claim pop-up.
Here is the process:
- Open the Halloween Journal entry for Brick or Treat.
- Complete the week’s quests and challenges.
- Claim the props from the rewards.
- Open the Build Menu to place them in your village.
The two October 22 rewards are separate, so finishing one does not unlock the other. Finishing a week’s quests earns that week’s parts bundle and the resources to build it, and the decor stays yours after the event.
Brick or Treat quest weeks
| Week | Dates | Parts bundle |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | October 15 to 21 | Kraken props |
| 2 | October 22 to 28 | Calcitor’s Jaws, 5 props |
| 3 | October 29 to November 4 | Count Brickula’s Crypt |
| Catch-up | November 5 to 12 | Finish missed quests |
The catch-up window means you can still finish the quest line after week 3, up to November 12.
Other Brick or Treat 2026 Content
The event includes a few extras:
- Visiting critters. Alien and Zombie critters visit for the length of the event, according to the Odyssey Wiki.
- A LEGO Island. The Beach House Escape island opens on day one, with island code 8710-3164-1507.
- Weekly quests. Each week brings a quest set, a parts bundle and the resources to build it.
I did not verify the island code in game, so check it in Fortnite before you share it.
Tips for Placing the Build
These tips are my suggestions, based on how Creator Builds are described:
- Claim early. The window ends before the event does.
- Clear space first. Larger builds need room, so choose a lakeside or open area.
- Check the Creator Crest. It confirms you have Kaz’s version.
- Pair it with Kraken props. Epic suggests the props support the same Halloween theme.
- Build over several sessions. A big display does not need to be finished at once.
Common Mistakes
- Waiting until the final day. Sources disagree by a day, so claim early.
- Mixing up the two rewards. The build and the props use different claim steps.
- Expecting a quest for the build. It is a separate pop-up.
- Using old patch note dates. The notes and the game differed in week one.
- Forgetting the catch-up window. It runs November 5 to 12 for quests only.
Conclusion
The Haunted Cheese Hideaway is a free, permanent Halloween build as long as you claim it between October 22 and 28. Grab it from the pop-up, earn the Calcitor’s Jaws props through the Journal and keep an eye on October 29 for Count Brickula’s Crypt. Everything here is accurate as of October 22, 2026, and Epic may adjust the schedule.
