AsRobloxcontinues to grow in the cultural zeitgeist, kids will probably find their way to it. But you may not want them to be able to accesseverything, and given the user-generated angle, there’s a lot of crazy stuff on it at any given time.
Roblox offers two ways to filter out mature content:
Parental Controls
First, let’s take a look at a step-by-step list for blocking scary and violentRobloxexperiences:
Similarly, if you ever want to swap between settings, either because you’re still seeing too many violent games or want to try a few out in the future, you can return to these Parental Control settings and change them at any point.
However, if you set up a Parent PIN, you’ll have to insert it any time you wish to change your settings. Be sure to keep it in a safe place!
Account Restrictions
Next, let’s check out account restriction settings:
While Parental Controls lets you filter through mature content, the account restriction page allows you to decide who can message and text you. Enabling account restrictions turns off communication so that no one can text or message you, alongside blocking you from any content with violence, realistic blood, and other mature subject matter. This is the same page where you can deactivate your account if you don’t want to playRobloxanymore.
To get a better handle on what exactlyRobloxconsiders “violent,” you can check out the official guidelines below. Note that “infrequent mild violence and/or light unrealistic blood” is the default setting forRoblox, as it’s considered suitable for all ages.

If you want to hide some ofRoblox’srestricted and mature content, you’re able to use the guidelines below to determine your preferred setting.
All Ages
“Content is generally suitable for all ages. May contain occasional mild violence and/or light unrealistic blood.”
Ages 9+
“Content is generally suitable for ages 9 and up. May contain repeated mild violence, heavy unrealistic blood, and/or mild crude humor.”
Ages 13+
“Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain moderate violence, light realistic blood, moderate crude humor, and/or unplayable gambling content.”
Ages 17+
Content is only suitable for ages 17 and up. May contain strong violence, heavy realistic blood, moderate crude humor, romantic themes, unplayable gambling content, the presence of alcohol, and/or strong language. These experiences are only available to 17+ users who verified their ages by uploading a selfie and a photo of their government-issued ID.
The exact option you choose will depend on your preferences. If you want to avoid violence and mature content in yourRobloxexperiences, picking the All Ages option will help block most of them. For those who don’t mind some blood, you may choose some of the older options to restrict fewer experiences at the risk of seeing some unwanted content. If you’re unsure, picking a safer option is generally a good call.
