2Click the + icon to add a game
3Search for the experience name

Games to Consider Blocking

These are categories of games that may not be appropriate for young children, even with chat disabled.

Red Flag Indicators

• Any "Club" or "Hangout" in the title
• "Dating" or "Romance" themed games
• Games with "17+" in description
• Horror games (for young kids)
• Simulator games with gambling mechanics

Specific Examples

• Murder Mystery 2 - Violence themes
• Doors - Horror, scary for young kids
• Da Hood - Violence, inappropriate behavior
• FortBlox - Battle royale shooter with weapons
• Any dating simulators

Automatically Blocked for Under 13

These types of games are automatically restricted for accounts verified as under 13—no action needed:

• Social hangout games (unstructured socializing)
• Free-form creation games (whiteboards, spray paint)
• Games with mature role-play potential
• 17+ rated content

Critical: November 2025 Age Verification

Content restrictions ONLY work if age is verified. Without age verification, children can easily bypass restrictions by creating new accounts with fake birthdates.

New November 2025 Feature

Roblox now allows parents to require age verification for their child's account. This ensures:

Content restrictions can't be bypassed with new accounts
Age-restricted content stays truly restricted
Better protection against predators posing as children
