The Complete Parent (and Gamer) Guide to the Roblox Game Doors
If your kiddo plays Roblox, you’ve likely heard about the game Doors. Since its release in August 2022, Doors has been hugely popular — especially with the YouTube gaming crowd. It currently has over 1.9 BILLION visits!
And in just the last few weeks, Doors has gone through a major update — and it’s awesome! Even if your child has already beaten the game, there are new badges to collect and new cut scenes to watch. And everyone is playing it.
If you’ve been hearing about monsters named Figure and Seek for months now (but still have no idea what your kids are talking about), this is the guide for you. Once you finish reading, you’ll have all the insight you need to join the Doors conversation. Or even play it yourself (if you dare). Let’s explore the ins, outs, and many jumpscares of Doors.
What kind of game is Doors?
Doors is considered a horror game, but don’t let that scare you (haha) — it’s actually quite kid-friendly. Imagine, you’ve been invited to a famed haunted hotel. You arrive, choose an elevator (you can choose one that holds 1, 2, 3, or 4 players), and head up to reception. At this point, there’s no going back. You’re left to navigate your way through the hotel, surviving different “entities”, until you reach the exit — 100 doors away. And how do you survive? Well, that depends on who or what you encounter.Is there any learning potential in Doors?
Many Roblox games (especially those classified as horror games) appear to have little to no learning moments. But dig a little deeper and you’ll see that Doors is a great game for practicing a variety of skills. If you’re playing with others, communication and teamwork are key to surviving. Players need to coordinate hiding spots if everyone is going to reach the end. You also have to work together to find keys for locked doors or bandaids for injured players. And Doors is all about perseverance and overcoming challenges. You will die (more than a few times) while playing. Working through that frustration and learning from past mistakes are essential to reaching the final door. On top of these primary skills, you can also find reading and math practice, problem-solving, pattern recognition, and planning skills being built inside this engaging game.There are 40 million+ games on Roblox

How do you beat Doors?
To beat Doors, you have to exit door 100. It sounds simple, but it can be an incredibly frustrating experience — full of complex mini-games and unexpected surprises. There are a few things you can expect each time you play — the monster Figure is always at doors 50 and 100, and you’ll most likely run across Seek twice. But other details are random, making each experience new. Even more interesting — you only learn how to survive each entity after dying to it. Well, unless you watch someone play it on YouTube or you read this guide. Having to figure it out as you go is part of the game’s design. But it’s still plenty challenging even when you know exactly what you need to do to make it to the end. If you want to experience Doors as intended, stop reading now and jump in. But, if you want more insight into what your kids spend hours talking about, keep going for all the spooky details.All the details of Roblox’s Doors (including the updates!)

Secret Rooms Inside of Doors
With the update came two, new secret spaces you can access with the skeleton key — the Infirmary and the entrance to Rooms. The Infirmary can be found shortly after the Jeff Shop. It’s full of beds and drawers, and you can find a lot of gold here. But the main reason you want to check out the Infirmary is for the Herbs of Viridis. This green herb will give you an instant health boost, and then continue to slowly heal you throughout the rest of your run. But the most exciting secret room in the update is the entrance to Rooms. Rooms is a game that inspired Doors, and now you can play it in the middle of your Doors run. Look for the entrance around door 60 and behind a wardrobe. You’ll need 2 lockpicks and the skeleton key to get inside. Once in, you’ll have to navigate a whole new set of entities as you travel through 1000 rooms! It’s a lot, but if you make it through, you’ll receive some pretty amazing surprise items you get to take back into Doors.Roblox’s Doors is fun and challenging for the whole family!
