A Night In Derry (Clown Anomaly) 🎈
The subtitle permanently names the Clown threat; the old [UPDATE] prefix has been retired.
A Night In Derry Update Timeline
A Night In Derry shipped updates every weekend, and its public record is unusually readable: Roblox timestamps every patch, and this creator signals content changes in the title itself. Below is the full dated timeline from the August 4 release to today — including the October 6 availability event — each entry attributed, plus the five-point recheck list that keeps your advice fresh after every patch.
Availability · checked October 8, 2026
Patches are paused: the listing is set to private
A Night In Derry is currently set to private on Roblox — since October 6, 2026, 17:03 UTC. The universe record, media and votes survive, but no join button is served, so no update can ship until the listing returns to public.
This is a status event, not a patch: no new update timestamp, title change or changelog accompanied it. The evidence table, claim states and the two surfaces to watch are on the dedicated status page.
September 18, 2026
Recorded by Roblox automatically at 18:28 UTC; still the latest timestamp on the record (the October 6 event was a privacy change, not a patch).
Updates every weekend
The creator's standing promise in the official description — currently gated by the private listing state.
Timeline
Every dated update event, attributed
Each entry names the record it comes from. This timeline starts at the beginning because for a two-month-old game, the history is short enough to show in full.
Release
August 4, 2026Roblox records the experience's creation timestamp. The game launched as a new release with a bug-report request baked into the description: "New Release, Please Report Bugs if you encounter one."

Update-tag era
August 2026This wiki's earliest checks recorded the Roblox listing with an [UPDATE] prefix in the title — the common Roblox convention for advertising a fresh patch. Weekend updates were already promised in the description.

First written community guide
September 10, 2026A beginner guide to the visitor/trust loop appeared on dev.to, cross-published from this wiki — the first written guide indexed for the game.

Clown Anomaly update
September 18, 2026Roblox records an updated timestamp of 18:28 UTC. By this wiki's September 21 recheck the title read "A Night In Derry (Clown Anomaly)" — the [UPDATE] prefix had been retired in favor of permanently naming the Clown threat.

Status at this check
October 3, 2026The September 18 timestamp is still the latest one Roblox records, the description still promises weekend updates, and no changelog has ever been published outside the title itself.
Source: Roblox APIs, checked 2026-10-03
Listing set to private
October 6, 2026The universe record moved to privacyType "Private" / isActive false with an updated timestamp of 17:03 UTC — the first availability change in the game's history. The listing survives (not archived, media intact, votes intact) and the group still links the game, but the page no longer offers a join button. This is a status event, not a patch: no new update timestamp or changelog accompanied it.

After an update
The five-point recheck
Run this list after every weekend patch — it takes two minutes and keeps every tip you follow tied to the live game.
- 1. The official title — This creator signals patches by renaming the game (the [UPDATE] prefix, then the permanent Clown Anomaly title). A title change is the fastest update signal. Check it on this site
- 2. The updated timestamp — Roblox records the date automatically; compare it against any advice you are about to follow. Check it on this site
- 3. The badge tab — The game currently issues zero badges. The first badge usually documents a milestone — often surviving the night — and confirms outcome systems. Check it on this site
- 4. The description and group wall — Both are creator-controlled announcement surfaces, and either could introduce codes or a Discord overnight. Check it on this site
- 5. Your own door notes — A cue that behaved one way before an update may not survive the next weekend patch — this game updates weekly by design. Check it on this site
What is the latest A Night In Derry update?
Roblox records a September 18, 2026 updated timestamp for the experience (18:28 UTC), and that remains the latest timestamp on the record — the October 6 privacy change was a status event, not a patch, and carried no new timestamp or changelog. The title itself is the patch signal: it still reads A Night In Derry (Clown Anomaly) 🎈, permanently naming the Clown threat.
Where are the patch notes?
This creator has never published an itemized changelog. Update signaling happens in the title itself (the retired [UPDATE] prefix, then the permanent Clown Anomaly naming) and in the description's standing line "UPDATES EVERY WEEKEND". That is why this page tracks timestamps, title changes, and official-description changes rather than promising notes that were never written.
When does the next update arrive?
No date is announced — and the availability state now gates it. The October 3–4 weekend window passed without a fresh timestamp, and on October 6, 2026 the creator set the listing to private, so the next update can only arrive after the listing returns to public. The game status page tracks the private state with dated evidence; a public listing with a new timestamp will be recorded in the timeline below the same day it is verified.
What should I recheck after every update?
Five things, in order: the availability state (currently private — the listing must be public before any patch can ship), the official title, the Roblox updated timestamp, the badge list (currently zero), and the description and group wall (the announcement surfaces for codes and a future Discord). The checklist below links each to the page that tracks it.
