How to Make a Roblox Obby in 2026 (Step-by-Step)

Go to roblox.com/create and click Start Creating. Once Studio opens, select the Obby template from the New Project screen. This gives you a starter obstacle course you can build on top of instead of starting from nothing.

Every obby is made of three things:

• Platforms — the parts players jump between. Vary the size, gap, and height to control difficulty.
• Hazards — kill bricks, spinning obstacles, moving parts, lava floors. These are what make an obby challenging.
• Checkpoints— save points so players don't start over from the beginning after dying. These keep players engaged instead of rage-quitting.

In the Home tab, click Part to add a block. Use the move, resize, and rotate handles to position it. For a good obby, vary your platforms:

• Wide platforms early on — easy for new players
• Narrow walkways and small pads later — ramp up difficulty gradually
• Moving parts — use TweenService or BodyMovers to make platforms slide side-to-side
• Height variation— don't keep everything at the same Y level, it gets boring fast

A kill brick is a part that sets the player's health to 0 when touched. Insert a Script inside a part and paste this Luau code:

local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
  local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
  if humanoid then
    humanoid.Health = 0
  end
end)

Color kill bricks red or lava-textured so players know to avoid them. Visual clarity matters — confusing hazards feel unfair, not challenging.

In the Model tab, insert a SpawnLocation part after each section of your obby. Set AllowTeamChangeOnTouch to true and use Teams to assign stages. Players who touch a checkpoint will respawn there instead of at the very beginning.

For a polished checkpoint system, use a free Checkpoint Modulefrom the Toolbox — search "obby checkpoint" and look for a well-rated model.

Press F5 to playtest. Play through the whole thing yourself and ask: Is each section fair? Can a new player figure out where to go? Are the checkpoints spaced well?

When it feels right, go to File → Publish to Roblox, add a title and thumbnail, and set the game to Public.

Open PromptBlox and type what you want in the chat. Be specific about the theme and vibe:

• "A neon space obby with laser beams and asteroid platforms"
• "Candy Kingdom obby with giant gummy bears and lollipop towers"
• "Ancient jungle temple obby with crumbling stone and lava traps"
• "Ice mountain obby with slippery slopes and blizzard hazards"

The more detail you give, the more your obby will match your vision. But even a short prompt like "spooky Halloween obby" works.

PromptBlox generates a visual concept showing the colors, theme, and atmosphere of your obby before building it. This is your chance to tweak the direction — type feedback like "make it darker" or "add more neon lights" before committing.

Once you confirm, the AI builds your obby: platforms at varied heights and gaps, themed hazards (spinning blades, moving walls, kill bricks), checkpoints between stages, spawn points, and decorations that match the theme. You can watch it appear in the live 3D preview. The whole thing takes about 60 seconds.

Click Download to get your .rbxlx file. Double-click it to open in Roblox Studio, press F5 to test, and then publish when you're happy with it. You can also customize the generated obby in Studio — add your own sections, change colors, or swap out hazards.
