Roblox Rivals Key and Target Pumpkin on Deck Steps

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Prep and gut the pumpkin

   Bottom-cut and gut the pumpkin, scraping interior walls to about an inch thick with extra thinning behind the key and target zones. The key aperture is a large, complex opening and benefits from a thin interior wall for maximum glow definition. Dry the interior before transferring the stencil.

2. 2

   Transfer the key-and-target stencil

   Pin-poke the stencil, marking the key aperture outline including its circular bow and rectangular shaft, the target hole ring connections, the backed lettering position, and any rind bridge zones. Mark the lettering area as a scrape zone and all apertures as cut zones. Connect all marks with a felt-tip marker before removing the stencil.

3. 3

   Clear the key aperture interior

   Before cutting the key outline, score the key shape completely and use a narrow gouge to clear the membrane and loose pith inside the marked area. This interior clearing reduces the suction that can make removing the key piece difficult after cutting. Keep the gouge within the marked key outline to avoid weakening the surrounding rind.

4. 4

   Cut the full key aperture

   Saw around the entire key outline, including the bow circle and the rectangular shaft, in a continuous cut that begins and ends at the same point without leaving any connection. For the circular bow, use smooth arcing strokes. For the rectangular shaft, score the corners before sawing each straight side. Push the key piece gently from outside to release it.

5. 5

   Cut the target holes

   Open the target ring holes with a circular sawing motion, keeping the rind connections between holes at their full marked width. The target holes are connected to the key aperture zone by broad rind rather than cut away from it, so maintain those connections throughout. Tidy each hole edge with a small pointed knife.

6. 6

   Scrape the backed lettering and display on deck steps

   Use a narrow gouge to skim the backed lettering zone to a 3 to 4 millimeter depth with the floor intact. Insert an LED and set the pumpkin on deck steps where the key shape and target holes catch warm back-light from inside. Photograph from slightly below and to the side for the most game-ready composition.
