Roblox Condo Games and What to Do if You Find One

If you have just found something called a “condo game” on your child’s Roblox account, here is the short version. Condo games are user-made Roblox experiences built around sexual content. They break Roblox’s rules, they get taken down, and new ones go up under new names within hours. Finding one on an account does not tell you what your child did or what was done to them. It tells you where to look next.

Do three things first: screenshot instead of deleting, report the experience to Roblox, and look at who your child has been talking to. The part that matters most is usually not the game — it is whether anyone used it to start a conversation.

This page names no game, server or search term. That is deliberate: explaining how to find them is how they spread.

Fast Facts About Roblox Condo Games

  • They are user-created experiences containing sexual content, not an official part of Roblox.
  • Roblox prohibits them and removes them; they are re-uploaded from new accounts almost immediately.
  • Most are advertised off Roblox, commonly through Discord servers that post each new link.
  • Roblox says it shuts down roughly 5,000 rule-breaking instances a day.
  • Roblox made 65,381 reports to the NCMEC CyberTipline in 2025, up from 24,522 in 2024.
  • Roblox faces a federal MDL and multiple state attorney general suits. Nothing has been proven.

If your child is in danger right now

  • Call 911 if there is an immediate threat.
  • Report exploitation to the NCMEC CyberTipline: report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678.
  • If sexual images of your child are being shared or threatened, Take It Down can help remove them.
  • If your child is thinking about suicide, call or text 988.

What a condo game actually is

Anyone can build and publish an experience on Roblox. A condo game is one built for sexual roleplay — typically a private-feeling indoor space, which is where the name comes from, with animations and a chat system the creator wrote rather than one Roblox provides.

Florida’s attorney general described them in a complaint filed against Roblox on December 11, 2025 as “predatory digital environments (e.g., houses) where users can remove their avatars’ clothing and engage in disturbing sexual activities.”[1] That is an allegation in a pending lawsuit, not a finding of fact; no court has ruled on whether it is accurate.

Two details matter more than the description. First, whether your child’s account can open one now depends on the account. Since June 16, 2026, accounts under 16 sit in the Roblox Kids or Roblox Select catalogs, which contain only games that have passed Roblox’s review — so a brand-new, unvetted upload should not open on a correctly age-checked child account.[14] That protection is only as good as the age on the account. A false birthday, a second account you do not know about, or an account that has never completed an age check is a different situation — and so is a 16- or 17-year-old’s.

Second, the chat inside these games is usually written by the creator, not provided by Roblox — which means your parental chat settings do not reach it. Roblox states this on its own help page: those settings “do not apply to chat features developed independently by developers.”[2]

Why they keep coming back

Roblox removes this content. The problem is the replacement rate. Florida’s complaint alleges that “as soon as Roblox removes one game, however, its ineffective safeguards allow the same game to be reuploaded almost immediately from a new account,” and that outside groups guide users to the reuploads.[1] Again: an allegation.

Roblox’s own numbers show the scale. In March 2026 the company said that since launching a new moderation system, “we’ve shut down approximately 5,000 instances per day that violate our Community Standards.”[3] That is a serious enforcement effort and also an admission that removal alone does not end the cycle.

The names are the other half. Florida’s complaint alleges Roblox tries to filter the word itself, and that users route around text filters generally by using emoji, misspellings and spelled-out substitutes.[1] A filter that blocks a word does not block the idea.

How children find them

Almost never by browsing Roblox. The distribution happens somewhere else, and the pattern is consistent: a group on another platform — usually Discord — posts each new link the moment it goes live, because everyone in the group knows the last one is already gone. Florida’s complaint cites a Fast Company report that identified 150 Discord groups organized around this.[1]

The practical consequence: your Roblox controls are not the thing being bypassed. The invitation arrives on a platform where you have set nothing. A child who never went looking can be handed a working link in a group chat in under a minute.

What you might see on a child’s account or device

None of these prove anything on their own. Treat them as places to look, not as verdicts.

  • A game you do not recognize in Parental Controls > Screen time > Manage > Top games, which lists the 20 games played most in the past week.[2]
  • New names in Parental Controls > Connections > Manage — especially accounts created recently, or ones your child cannot explain.[2]
  • Discord installed, or new servers joined, particularly if your child previously had no reason to use it.
  • A second Roblox account you did not know about, often with no linked parent.
  • Screen-switching, closing a laptop, or turning a phone face down when you come into the room.
  • Requests to move a conversation to another app, or a new contact your child describes vaguely.

What to do in the first hour

  1. Do not delete anything yet. Screenshot the experience name, the chat, the usernames and any links. If this becomes a police matter, that material is the case.
  2. Report it to Roblox. Steps below. Report the specific experience and the specific users, not a profile.
  3. Look at the connections list and at any off-platform app. What you are looking for is contact, not content.
  4. Talk to your child without leading with consequences. A child who expects the device to be confiscated will tell you less, not more. Ask who they were with, not what they saw.
  5. If an adult was involved, stop and report it to the NCMEC CyberTipline before you do anything that tips off the other account.
  6. Block and tighten afterward — not first. Changing settings is the easy part and it can wait an hour.

How to report it to Roblox

Roblox’s moderators act on specific content, and the company states plainly that a report filed from someone’s profile page does not show them what happened.[4]

To report an entire experience, open its About page and use the red Report Abuse button at the lower right of the description box. To report from inside a game, open the menu at the upper left, select the flag icon next to a username or the Report tab, choose Person or Experience, pick a reason, add detail, and submit.[4]

When it is a matter for NCMEC, not just Roblox

Reporting to Roblox gets content removed. It does not start an investigation into a person. Report to the NCMEC CyberTipline, or call 1-800-843-5678, when any of these is true:

  • An adult, or someone you believe is an adult, contacted your child.
  • Anyone asked your child for images, or sent images to your child.
  • Your child sent an image, or is being threatened over one. That is sextortion, and it is a crime committed against your child.
  • Anyone tried to arrange a meeting.

US companies are legally required under 18 U.S.C. 2258A to report suspected child sexual abuse material, online enticement and child sex trafficking to the CyberTipline when they become aware of it.[5] You are not required to — but the CyberTipline took more than 170,000 reports from members of the public in 2025, and those reports reach law enforcement.[5]

The part that connects to grooming

Sexual content on a screen is upsetting. Contact is the greater risk, and spaces like these are where some of it starts: they gather children who are curious and unsupervised, which is exactly the audience an offender is looking for.

The federal court order consolidating the Roblox lawsuits describes what plaintiffs allege the pattern looks like: children “targeted and groomed… through the highly popular Roblox gaming platform,” after which “the predators then persuaded the minors to continue their interactions, and often to exchange sexually explicit images, on a second platform such as Discord, Snapchat, or Instagram, or via texting or video-calling on a cellular phone.”[6] Arkansas’s attorney general made the same claim in June 2026, alleging Roblox is “the point of first contact” and Discord “the escalation environment.”[7] Both are allegations.

The reporting data says the category is growing. NCMEC’s CyberTipline received 1.4 million reports of online enticement in 2025, a 158% increase over 2024, including more than 800 reports in which an offender traveled to meet a child in person.[5] Roblox itself submitted 65,381 reports to the CyberTipline in 2025, up from 24,522 in 2024.[8][9] Read that carefully: a report count measures detection and reporting, not the number of crimes. A platform that reports more may be finding more, not hosting more. If you want the behavior itself described, we cover the signs of grooming and how predators approach children on Roblox separately.

Where the lawsuits stand

On December 12, 2025, the US Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized 31 lawsuits from twelve districts into a single proceeding, In re: Roblox Corporation Child Sexual Exploitation and Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3166, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg in the Northern District of California.[6] By September 1, 2026 the panel’s own statistics listed 182 actions pending in it.[10]

Separately, state attorneys general have sued. Florida’s attorney general opened a criminal investigation with subpoenas in October 2025 and filed suit that December.[11][1] Arkansas sued both Roblox and Discord in June 2026.[7] Some states have settled: Alabama announced a $12.2 million assurance of voluntary compliance in April 2026, which contains no admission of wrongdoing and commits Roblox to age checks, chat limits between adults and under-16s, and a law enforcement liaison.[12]

Three things are worth keeping straight. First, none of it has been proven. No court has ruled on the merits anywhere. Second, the one substantive ruling so far cuts both ways: in Iowa, on May 13, 2026, the court granted Roblox’s motion to dismiss “with regard to the State’s claims regarding insufficient content moderation, failure to ensure age-appropriate content, filter bypasses in in-game chat, and generally addictive gameplay,” and denied the rest — a decision about which legal theories may proceed, not about what happened.[13] Third, and most relevant here: the federal litigation is about grooming and the move to a second platform. The filings I have read do not turn on condo games. Do not read the lawsuits as a verdict on them.

Roblox’s position, given to Reuters in October 2025, is that “while no system is perfect, our trained teams and automated tools continuously monitor communications to detect and remove harmful content.”[11] Our Roblox lawsuit guide tracks the cases as they move.

What actually lowers the risk

Tightening Roblox settings is worth doing — our Roblox safety guide covers content limits, chat and blocking specific games, and our guide to Roblox parental controls is the click-by-click version. But this problem arrives from off-platform, so that is not where it gets solved.

What works better is unglamorous. Know which apps are on the device and why. Look at the Top games list openly and often enough that it is routine rather than a raid. And make it cheap for your child to tell you something went wrong — whether you hear about the next one depends mostly on what telling you cost them last time. If this has already gone further than a game, start here.
