You can block individual games and players on Roblox through your account settings
Roblox does not have a built-in feature to block entire games from appearing in your feed or search results. However, you can block individual players whose games you want to avoid, and you can report games that violate Roblox's community standards. If you are a parent trying to restrict what games your child can play, Roblox offers parental controls that let you set age-appropriate content filters and limit who can contact your child.
The method you use depends on what you are trying to do: block a specific player, report a game for rule violations, or set up account restrictions for a younger user. Each approach works differently and takes a few minutes to set up.
Key Takeaways
- You can block individual players on Roblox by visiting their profile and selecting the block option, which prevents them from messaging you or joining your games.
- Roblox does not let you hide specific games from your feed, but you can report games that break community rules so moderators can review them.
- Parents can use Roblox parental controls to restrict games by age rating, limit who can contact their child, and control spending on in-game purchases.
- Blocking a player does not delete their games from Roblox — it only stops them from contacting you and joining your private servers.
How to block a player on Roblox
Blocking a player prevents them from sending you messages and joining any private games you create. The blocked player can still see your public profile and play games you create, but they cannot interact with you directly.
To block a player, visit their profile page. You can find this by searching their username in the search bar at the top of the Roblox home page, or by clicking their name if they recently played with you. Once you are on their profile, look for the three-dot menu icon (⋯) in the upper right corner of their profile card. Click it and select Block User. A confirmation message will appear — click Block again to confirm.
To see your list of blocked players and unblock someone if you change your mind, go to your account settings. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Roblox home page, select Settings, then choose Privacy from the left menu. Scroll down to Blocked Users to see everyone you have blocked. Click the Unblock button next to any name to remove them from your blocked list.
How to report a game that breaks Roblox rules
If a game contains content that violates Roblox's community standards — such as inappropriate language, hate speech, or sexual content — you can report it to Roblox moderators. Reporting does not remove the game immediately, but it flags it for review by the Roblox safety team.
While playing a game, click the menu button (usually the three horizontal lines or a pause icon) and look for a Report or Report Abuse option. Select it and choose the reason that best describes the problem: harassment, inappropriate content, scams, or another violation. Add details about what you saw and when, then submit the report. You can also report a game from its main page by clicking the flag icon next to the game title.
Roblox reviews reports within a few days. If the game violates the rules, moderators may remove it, restrict it to older players, or take other action. You will not receive a notification about the outcome, but you can check back on the game page to see if it has been changed.
Setting up parental controls to restrict games by age
If you are managing a child's account, Roblox parental controls let you limit which games they can play based on age rating. You can also control who can message them and whether they can spend money on in-game purchases.
To set up parental controls, log into the child's account and click the gear icon in the upper right corner. Select Settings, then Parental Controls. You will be asked to enter a PIN — create a four-digit number that only you know. This PIN protects the parental control settings so the child cannot change them without your permission.
Once the PIN is set, you can adjust these restrictions: Account Restrictions (which limits the games available by age rating), Contact Settings (which controls who can message the child), and Trade Settings (which controls whether the child can trade items with other players). You can also set spending limits on Robux, the in-game currency, so the child cannot make large purchases without your approval.
Why Roblox does not let you hide specific games
Roblox is designed as an open platform where millions of games are created by users, not by Roblox itself. Because the game library is so large and constantly changing, Roblox does not offer a feature to block or hide individual games from your feed or search results.
Instead, Roblox relies on age ratings, content filters, and reporting to keep the platform safe. If you see a game you do not want to play, you can simply skip it and play something else. If the game breaks Roblox's rules, reporting it is the most effective way to get it reviewed by moderators.
What happens when you block a player
When you block a player on Roblox, several things change: they cannot send you direct messages, they cannot join any private games or servers you create, and they cannot see your online status. However, they can still see your public profile, play games you have created, and interact with you in public game servers.
Blocking is one-way — the blocked player will not receive a notification that you have blocked them, but they may notice they cannot message you or join your private games. If you block someone by mistake, you can unblock them at any time through your Privacy settings.
Using Roblox safety features beyond blocking
Blocking and reporting are just two tools Roblox offers to keep your account safe. You can also adjust your privacy settings to control who can message you, who can see your friends list, and who can join your games.
To access these settings, click the gear icon and go to Settings > Privacy. Here you can choose whether to allow messages from everyone, friends only, or no one. You can also control whether your profile is public or private, and whether other players can see what games you are playing. Parents should review these settings regularly, especially if their child plays with friends they do not know in person.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I block a game so it does not show up in my search results?
No, Roblox does not have a feature to hide or block specific games from appearing in search or your feed. If you do not want to play a game, you can simply skip it. If the game breaks Roblox's rules, you can report it for review by moderators.
Will a blocked player know I blocked them?
Roblox does not send a notification to blocked players, but they may figure it out if they try to message you or join your private game and cannot. They will see an error message, but it will not say you blocked them specifically.
Can I block a game creator from making games I see?
You cannot hide all games by one creator, but you can block that player if they are harassing you or creating inappropriate content. Blocking prevents them from messaging you and joining your private games, but their public games will still appear in search results.
What should I do if someone is harassing me on Roblox?
Block the player first to stop them from messaging you. Then report them to Roblox by clicking the flag icon on their profile or using the in-game report feature. Include details about what they said or did. Roblox moderators will review the report and may suspend or ban the player if they broke the rules.
Can parental controls prevent my child from playing specific games?
Parental controls filter games by age rating, so you can restrict your child to games rated for their age group. However, you cannot block individual games — only adjust the overall age filter. If a specific game concerns you, report it to Roblox and discuss it with your child directly.
