Community Q&A

How do I find out how to find what someone is playing without it saying in the game?
Community Answer

If you are in a party with them, and they are the party leader, look on the party tab. If not, it usually says on their profile.

How do I join people when they’re not my friend?
Community Answer

You can’t join people who aren’t on your friends list, unless they’ve changed their settings so that everyone can follow them into a game.

How do I know they are actually like the person I was hoping for?

I always make sure I know them well in either real life or in Roblox first. You can do that by asking your real life friends to friend request you or talk to someone in the game, then friend request them.

Don’t be upset if someone does not accept your friend request. They might not know you yet, so it’s always good to play with them more.

Try asking them to form a team in-game. That will help you out better. For example, if you’re playing Jailbreak, you might ask them to escape with you.

Chat. Use the chat menu and talk to people. That will form a better relationship.

If someone you’ve friended asks you for your password or request for personal information, unfriend that person or decline their friend request. Likewise, unfriend players who encourage you to play games that are inappropriate or are against your parents’/guardians’ rules, online date, cyber bully, hack, scam, constantly use inappropriate words or do inappropriate things, or want you to friend them/add them on other websites that you are not allowed to be on.

⧼thumbs_response⧽

Certain actions such as bullying and online dating are NOT tolerated on Roblox. Someone could report you if you’re harassing them or others around you.

⧼thumbs_response⧽

Never give away your personal information to strangers. This can range from your real name, birthday, age, school, grade, address, parents’/guardians’/family members’ names, the places that your parents/guardians/family members work, and any other information that can be used to identify you in the real world.

If you make a group chat, don’t add several different players at once without their permission. They might not want to be among random people and might leave as a result.
