Types of events you'll face
Tips
Basic events make up the standard rotation, but seasonal limited events also appear with certain updates. Some events have been removed from the rotation entirely — Dice Roll and Don't Roll 6 were pulled because using dice to simulate gambling breaks Roblox's Terms of Service. A handful of forced events only show up in public servers when a developer or content creator is present.
- Solo Saw targets a single player with one saw.
- Player Battle gives two players linked swords and pits them against each other; only the winner returns to their chair.
- Many Guns hands everyone two shields and the ability to shoot anyone — get hit three times and you're out.
- Defuse BombT makes all the text unreadable, turning it into pure luck.
- Black Hole ends the round by swallowing the entire map and ejecting every remaining player from the game.
- Player Quiz looks like an elimination round but the question has no answer, so nobody actually gets cut.

The cave and hidden lobby secrets
Step
Outside the lobby's barrier, behind a bush between two fences at spawn, is a tunnel called The Cave. To reach it, walk backwards to your left from spawn until you find a gap in the fences with no invisible wall, then head through the bush. The hatch inside the tunnel that once opened every hour is now permanently closed. Falling through certain pits in The Cave or touching the suspicious mushroom in the lobby used to send players to the Backrooms — a yellowed, carpeted maze with four exits and a party room. Finding any exit teleports you straight back to spawn.
- Find the gap walk backwards left from spawn until you spot the space in the fences without an invisible barrier.
- Go through the bush the cave tunnel is on the other side.
- Note the hatch it sits at the end of the tunnel but is now disabled and cannot be opened.
- Look for the Backrooms entrance the suspicious mushroom in the lobby is one way in; pits inside The Cave were another.
- Navigate the Backrooms four exits are scattered through the yellow corridors, and any one of them sends you back to spawn.
- Find the party room it's a side room inside the Backrooms with a stage, a microphone, and coloured banners.

Common questions
FAQIs The Cave maze still open to explore?
The tunnel itself is still there and you can walk into it, but the hatch that led to the maze is now permanently disabled. The Wizard Clown, the DJ Room, and the Disco Ball effect that was awarded there are no longer reachable.
What happens if I land in the Backrooms?
Navigate through the yellow corridors and find one of the four exits — any of them will teleport you straight back to the lobby spawn point. There is also a party room inside if you want to explore before leaving.
Why are some events no longer in the rotation?
Dice Roll and Don't Roll 6 were removed because using dice to simulate gambling breaks Roblox's Terms of Service. Other events can sometimes be taken out of the rotation to make space for other events.
