Getting your setup right before you join
Check
The Corner runs on voice chat — the game itself says it is required, so there is no real way around it. Before your first session, take a few minutes to make sure everything on your end is working. A bad audio setup will cut you off from the entire point of the game.
- Check that your microphone and speakers are working on your device
- Open Roblox settings and confirm that voice chat is enabled for your account
- The game runs on PC, Mobile, VR, and Console, so pick whatever device you already have a working mic on
How reputation works
SummaryReputation is The Corner's main progression system. The loop is straightforward once you understand it.
- Leaving comments each comment you post on another player's profile earns you reputation
- Receiving comments every comment someone leaves on your profile also adds to your score
- Playing the game simply spending time in The Corner gives reputation too
Staying safe in a voice chat game
Warn
Because The Corner is built on real-time voice chat, it puts you in contact with strangers quickly. The game gives you tools to protect yourself — use them.
Time badges and what they tell you
TableThe Corner has ten badges. One fires when you first join, one is for playing on VR, and the other eight are all for hitting time milestones. There is no combat, no final boss, and no loot to chase — the badges reflect that this is a game you come back to again and again to socialise rather than complete.
| First join | unlocks the moment you load in for the first time |
| 30 minutes | first time milestone |
| 1 hour | time milestone |
| 2 / 4 hours | time milestones |
| 10 / 24 hours | time milestones |
| 50 / 100 hours | long-term time milestones |
| VR Player | unlocked by playing on VR |

Common questions
FAQCan I play without a microphone?
The game's own description states that voice chat is required, so a working microphone is not optional.
My reputation is not going up — what should I do?
Leave comments on other players' profiles. Receiving comments from other players also raises your reputation, as does simply playing the game.
What languages can I use in The Corner?
The game supports English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Polish, Thai, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, and Tagalog.
Is there anything to collect or unlock besides badges?
The game is focused on socialising and growing your reputation. The only trackable goals the game sets out are the time-based badges, the VR badge, and your reputation score.
