Party FAQ – Roblox Support

What is Party?

Party is a seamless way for users to group up with their friends (up to 6), discover, and play their favorite games and experiences together.

Users form a Party (like a group chat), join, and move across experiences as a group of friends all while communicating via text (only users ages 13+).

Users are able to easily coordinate with their friends right on Roblox, eliminating the need to use other platforms to do so. Party will also automatically matchmake friends onto the same public server. Play, hang out and chat on Roblox like never before.

What safety and privacy measures are in place?

We’re always thinking about how we can make Roblox one of the safest online environments for people of all ages to connect. Only your friends can add you to group chats. Users can edit their friend list, block other users, or remove themselves from a group at any time.

You can also limit or turn off Party in Settings > Privacy & content maturity > Communication > Party.

You have the option to change the Party, Who Can One on One Party with Me setting default from Friends to No one. Selecting Friends limits you to a 1:1 Party (up to two members) and if you select No one you will be unable to participate in any Party.
You also have the option to change the Group Party, Who Can Group Party With Me setting default from Friends to No one. The Friends setting indicates that you can be in a Party with up to six members.
