Starting out in Roblox Studio is super exciting — you’re finally creating your own worlds, games, and interactive experiences! But like anything new, it’s easy to stumble into a few common traps.
In this guide, we’ll go over the most common mistakes beginners make in Roblox Studio, so you can dodge them early on and build your games with more confidence and success. 💡
1. 💾 Not Saving Frequently
One of the most painful beginner mistakes is working for hours… only to lose everything after a crash.
Tip:
- Press
Ctrl + S(orCmd + Son Mac) often. - Enable Auto-Recovery in Studio settings just in case!
2. 📦 Using Too Many Free Models Without Checking
The Toolbox is filled with free assets — but some come with malicious scripts or bugs.
Tip:
- Only use models from trusted creators.
- Always check inside models for unknown scripts before using them.
3. 🧱 Forgetting to Anchor Parts
If you don’t anchor objects, they’ll fall due to gravity when the game starts.
Tip:
- Select the part → Click Anchor in the Home tab.
- Do this for walls, floors, platforms, etc.
4. 📋 Not Naming and Organizing Objects
A messy Explorer panel becomes a nightmare as your game grows.
Tip:
- Rename parts clearly (e.g., “SpawnPlatform” instead of “Part”).
- Use folders or models to group related items.
6. 🧠 Trying to Script Everything Without Basics
Jumping into complex scripting without understanding the basics of Lua leads to errors and frustration.
Tip:
- Start small: print messages, move parts, trigger events.

7. 🧪 Not Testing Your Game Regularly
You can’t fix what you don’t test! Many new creators wait until the end.
Tip:
- Use Play or Play Here to test while building.
- Check the Output tab for errors and messages.
8. 🕹️ Forgetting to Add a Spawn Location
Without a spawn point, your player might fall into the void.
Tip:
- Insert a SpawnLocation from the Toolbox or use the Model tab.
9. 📱 Not Considering Mobile Players
Roblox is huge on mobile. If your game doesn’t work well on phones, players will quit fast.
Tip:
- Keep UI elements readable and buttons large enough.
- Test using Simulator mode for phones/tablets.
10. 🚪 Publishing a Game Too Early
Many new devs hit “Publish” before the game is ready — which can hurt first impressions.
Tip:
- Use Private Mode while developing.
- Only go Public when the game is tested and feels playable.
🛠️ Bonus: Not Following a Step-by-Step Guide
Many beginners try to figure everything out at once without any structure, which can lead to confusion and burnout. One of the best ways to avoid common mistakes is to follow a clear and beginner-friendly guide from the start.
