Growing Up is a Roblox simulation where you follow yellow arrows to complete quests, celebrate birthdays, and grow taller until you reach age 18. Along the way you can ride bikes, skateboards, and cars, take classes in karate, chemistry, and robotics, work on a farm, and much more.
The core loop — quests, birthdays, and growing taller
Step
In shortFollowing the yellow arrow from quest to quest is the entire path to reaching age 18.
Every time you load in, a yellow arrow on your screen points toward your next quest. Finish what the arrow leads you to, and you hit a birthday that makes your character grow taller and moves you to the next stage. This keeps repeating until you reach 18, which is the current cap.

Common questions
FAQ
How do I level up?
Follow the yellow arrow to your current quest and finish it. Completing a quest triggers a birthday, your character grows taller, and a new arrow appears pointing to the next one. The current cap is age 18.
How long do event rewards last?
Most rewards — like the flying sleigh, the fast bunny, and the Ornament Gun — last for one year, until the event comes back around. The gifts you hand out from the Santa Bag are an exception and stay in your inventory permanently.
What happens if I miss a seasonal event?
You have to wait until the event returns the following year to collect its items and earn the reward. The one exception is Cupid Wings, which you can get at any time by purchasing the game pass instead of waiting for February.
Where do I report a glitch or ask for help?
The official group page is where you can post bug reports and questions. Look for the group link on the game's Roblox page.
