Roblox

Set a Parent PIN, turn off chat with strangers, only allow age-appropriate games.

⏱ Takes about 5 minutes

Why bother?

Roblox has 70 million daily users — most are kids, some aren't. Without a Parent PIN, your child can talk to anyone and play 18+ games.

1
Sit at a computer with your kid
Go to roblox.com and sign into their account.
2
Click the gear icon, top-right → Settings
Then click Security on the left.
3
Verify your kid's age is set correctly
If it says they're 13+ when they're 10, fix it — restrictions only work properly with the real age.
4
Add a parent email
Account Info → Parent Email. Use YOUR email, not theirs. This is how you'll receive PIN reset links.
5
Go to Settings → Parental Controls
Turn on Account PIN. Pick 4 digits the kid doesn't know.
6
Turn on Account Restrictions
This limits them to a curated list of safer games and disables chat with strangers.
7
Go to Privacy
Set Who can chat with me to Friends only (or No one).
8
Set Who can message me to Friends
Same for Who can invite me to private servers.
9
Test it
Log out, log back in as them, try to change a setting — it should ask for the PIN.

You did it. 🎉

Tell your kid you set this up, and why. It works way better when it's not a secret.
