Getting Started With Roblox Studio
Learn the Roblox Studio building basics and begin creating your first game environment with parts, properties, anchoring, and play testing.
Getting started with Roblox Studio can feel overwhelming, especially if you have never created a game before. Every Roblox creator begins with the same foundation: learning how to move around Studio, add objects, change their properties, and test what they build.
START BUILDING IN ROBLOX STUDIO
Turn an empty Roblox world into your first creation.
Learn the Roblox Studio basics: add parts, adjust their properties, create a simple environment, and use Play mode to test your work.

What students practice
Build with Parts
Add basic 3D shapes and use them to begin creating a game world.
Change Properties
Experiment with size, position, color, material, and other properties to change how objects look and behave.
Test the Game
Use Play mode to see what happens, notice problems, and improve the build.
Build along instead of only watching
The best way to use this lesson is to keep Roblox Studio open and create along with the video. Pause when needed, try each step yourself, and make a few creative changes once the basic version works.
Try a creative challenge
After practicing the building tools, create a small environment of your own. It could be an obstacle, a tower, a room, a bridge, or the beginning of a larger game. Make at least three changes to the size, material, color, or placement of your parts, then test the result.
Keep building with four free game-creation lessons
Parents and guardians can get four free lessons by email: Roblox Studio building, a first script, Minecraft modding, and MCreator coding. The first lesson starts right away; the following lessons arrive over the next several days.

Create2Discover offers live 1-on-1 Roblox Studio tutoring for students who want structured lessons, personalized pacing, and help understanding the coding behind their games.
Parent safety note: Testing a project with Play inside Roblox Studio is not the same as joining a public Roblox game. Studio is connected to the wider Roblox platform, so families should still review account settings and decisions about sharing. See our Roblox safety and coding guide.
