"Forsaken is a Roblox asymmetric survival horror experience in which players compete as either Survivors (teamwork, objectives, escape) or Killers (elimination), in short match-based rounds."

What your child develops

Forsaken rewards genuine teamwork — Survivors must coordinate, communicate, and prioritise objectives under pressure, building real-time decision-making and cooperation skills. The Killer role adds a layer of strategic thinking, as players must anticipate opponent movement and adapt on the fly. Its match-based structure gives every round a clear beginning and end, making wins feel earned.

What to watch out for

The asymmetric Killer vs. Survivor format can foster competitive frustration and rank-shaming behaviour between players, especially in open servers with strangers. With up to 9 players per server and standard text chat, children will routinely interact with unknown adults. The quest and character unlock system (e.g. Jane Doe) creates a mild progression loop that encourages repeated sessions, and the epilepsy warning flags intense audio-visual stimulation as a real concern for some children.

Parent tip

Play a round or two alongside your child to get a feel for the chat environment — then consider enabling Roblox's Account Restrictions in Family Controls to limit who can message them during matches.

Roblox parent guide

Bottom line first

By default, Roblox allows unfiltered chat and friend requests from strangers. Enable Account Restrictions immediately — it takes 2 minutes and makes the platform significantly safer for children under 13.

Roblox is a platform of 40 million+ user-made games, not a single game. Quality, safety, and age-appropriateness vary dramatically between experiences. The LumiKin ratings above reflect individual experiences — the platform itself does not guarantee safety.

Robux is the in-game currency used across most popular experiences. Many games are designed around Robux spending — pay-to-win mechanics, exclusive cosmetics, and social comparison of avatar items are common. Set a clear spending policy before your child encounters the first purchase prompt.

The chat filter is imperfect. Children regularly find workarounds (number substitutions, deliberate misspellings). Monitor chat history periodically using the Parent PIN tools, and have an open conversation about what to do if someone says something uncomfortable.

Action: Roblox settings → Privacy → Account Restrictions (ON). This restricts chat, friend requests, and game access to a pre-screened age-appropriate set. Set a Parent PIN to prevent your child from disabling it.
