SCP: Roleplay puts you inside a secret research facility where you play as a prisoner, scientist, guard, or one of several other teams — each with a completely different job and playstyle. This guide covers how to pick a starting role, what each team actually does, how to handle SCP breaches and facility threats, and what to check when you get stuck.
When you first load in, you choose a team before spawning into the facility. Each team has its own tutorial cutscene that explains its purpose; you can skip it, but watching it at least once helps. The game unlocks more teams as you progress, so you start with a smaller pool.
| Class-D | prisoner who can stay and be tested or riot and escape with the Chaos Insurgency |
| Scientist | researches and studies SCPs using Class-D personnel as test subjects, spawns without weapons |
| Security Department | guards the Class-D cells, escorts Class-D during tests, and protects the facility |
| Mobile Task Force | handles SCP recontainment, posts at the Class-D Cells, and stops raids and riots |
| Intelligence Agency | gathers information and monitors critical locations like Chaos Insurgency entrances |
| Chaos Insurgency | hostile to the entire Foundation, frees Class-D prisoners, and causes destruction on-site |
The next survey is being prepared.
Foundation teams win by keeping SCPs contained, stopping Class-D riots, and preventing the Chaos Insurgency from taking over the facility. The strategies below apply to any Foundation member, not just combat roles. Camping rule violations aside, knowing common defensive positions — such as the Sector 3 C4 vent, the C4 vent near Science Department spawn, and the Transformer room vent — helps you anticipate where Insurgency players will appear.

When an SCP breaks containment, Mobile Task Force is primarily responsible for recontainment, but any player can assist. There are two general methods: luring the SCP back to its chamber, or holding the left mouse button for five seconds on specific SCPs. Luring requires you to get the SCP behind you and lead it toward its cell, and the timing rules change depending on which containment chamber type is involved.
Class-D are the only team allied with the Chaos Insurgency. If you play Class-D, you can choose to comply with tests and interviews run by the Science and Administrative Departments, or you can riot and attempt to escape. The Chaos Insurgency exists to raid the facility, kill Foundation personnel, and free Class-D players for their own purposes. Both sides offer a very different experience from Foundation play.

SCP: Roleplay
The first time you select a team, a cutscene plays with text explaining that team's role and purpose, advancing automatically every seven to eight seconds. You can skip it if you want to spawn straight away, but each team has unique text so it is worth watching once per team. After the tutorial ends, you spawn as that team normally.
The game unlocks more teams as you progress, so continuing to play opens up options beyond the starting roster. Class-D is one of the entry-level roles, and advancing through the game is how you gain access to additional teams.
For those two specifically, hold the left mouse button for five seconds while near them — this triggers recontainment directly without needing to lure them back to their chamber. For most other SCPs you will need to get them to follow you and walk them back to their cell instead.
Insurgency players commonly use the Sector 3 C4 vent, the C4 vent near the Science Department spawn, and the Transformer room vent. Foundation players who know these spots can set up defensive positions at those chokepoints to intercept raiders as they emerge.
