Hidden adult ('condo') experiences on Roblox
Sexually explicit games are repeatedly re-uploaded and passed around as private links before they are taken down, so a child can be invited into one without ever searching for anything.

Start here: Use Account Restrictions to limit play to age-approved experiences.
What is happening
- Bad actors build sexually explicit 'condo' experiences engineered to slip past automated moderation.
- Because they're taken down quickly, links are passed privately through Discord and social posts and re-uploaded under new names.
- Children can be invited via a private link without searching for anything explicit themselves.
Why it matters
Potential impact: A 9–15-year-old dropped into sexually explicit simulated content inside a game they were allowed to play, with no search history that would have warned you.
Recommended next step: Review soon. Worth reviewing or discussing this week.
What to watch for
- Unfamiliar private game links sent by a 'friend'.
- Slang like 'condo' or coded spellings in chats.
- Rapidly joining and leaving games, or clearing join history.
What parents can do
- Use Account Restrictions to limit play to age-approved experiences.
- Review the recent game history together.
- Teach kids to refuse game links from people they don't know in real life.
- Report the experience in Roblox so it can be removed.
Start the conversation
“If a link takes you somewhere that feels wrong, close it and tell me. I will not take the game away for that — I would rather know.”
Say it in your own words, before anything has gone wrong. A child who has heard this once already knows where to go the day it matters.
Sources and evidence
Evidence: Developing. Reported and credible, but the picture is still filling in. We update this advisory as better evidence arrives. Last reviewed
If this is happening now
- Report the experience inside Roblox so it can be removed, and block the account that shared the link.
- Turn on Account Restrictions so play is limited to age-approved experiences.
- Talk about what they saw without interrogating them. Distress usually comes from the secrecy, not only from the content.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. To report online exploitation, use the NCMEC CyberTipline, or Take It Down to get an image removed.
