Tips for getting started in Roblox

There's a lot of content in Roblox. Millions of experiences await those who log in for the first time, and navigating through all of them can seem like a tall order. This guide will give you everything that you need to know about getting started in Roblox, including some tips on how to keep the experience streamlined and easy in the early going.

An easy way to get overwhelmed is to log in to Roblox and immediately start opening random experiences. There are so many to choose from that you might burn yourself out before the fun really even begins. Instead, choose a few popular experiences to get started, and then you can venture out into everything else that Roblox has to offer.

The top experience lists on the main menu are a great place to start, as they suggest the most popular or top-rated experiences on the platform that day. Most of the time, these lists are populated with quality games and will serve as a great starting point for a new Roblox user.

There are millions of users on the Roblox platform and many of them are looking for new friends to join them. Just as you’d be wary of opening your door to a stranger, be careful accepting friend requests from people that you don’t know.

By limiting your friends list early on to people that you already know, you can have full confidence that they are who they say they are when you enter a game together. Then, you don't have to worry about them going rogue and leaving you to a horrible fate in a horror game like Rainbow Friends. You can look up players that you already have usernames for in Search to add them as friends.

A great way to familiarise yourself with the overall Roblox experience is to start with officially licensed experiences, created in partnership with outside companies. These will likely be some of the easiest experiences to play on the platform, simply because the partner wants as many people to join in as possible, and therefore, you can use them as your own Roblox training tool.

Recent Roblox partners include Barbie, the National Hockey League and Squid Game, so there are plenty of options that could fit your interests. Take a look at the licensed game list, see what you find and jump into one that looks fun to you.

You'll notice that many experiences on the platform use Robux, Roblox's unique premium currency. While you may think that this means you have to buy as many Robux as possible to get the full experience, this is simply not the case. Most experiences can be played without spending any Robux.

However, you may want to purchase Robux when there are specific things that you want to acquire or experience, such as new costume items for your avatar or expansions to a favourite experience. Shop smartly and you can enjoy Roblox to the fullest without breaking the bank.
