Lobby tools for 30 Floors Up
Before zombies, neighbors, or Floor 27 valves matter, you have to host the run correctly. This Tools Hub covers Create a Group lobby options, campaign types, save-slot game passes, and the control habits that keep Bellwether Heights manageable on Roblox.
Pair this page with Getting Started after your lobby exists, and redeem Update2 before you shop classes.
Create a Group — lobby settings
Use Create a Group when you want a controlled session instead of a random public scramble.
Players (1–4)
| Players | Best use |
|---|---|
| 1 | Solo learning, Temporary practice, Quiet 100-day attempts |
| 2 | Duo splits (point + support) |
| 3 | Extra runner for Ruth/Mara errands |
| 4 | Full clear team — max private group size (you + 3 friends) |
Even though experience servers can list up to 30 players, a serious squad should lock Players to the friends actually on voice. Extra strangers increase noise, loot contest, and quest confusion.
Difficulty — Easy / Normal / Hard
| Difficulty | Who it is for |
|---|---|
| Easy | First ever launch, control practice, learning peephole checks |
| Normal | Standard campaign for most groups after one tutorial wipe |
| Hard | Optimized loadouts only — bat-tier melee, S-tier classes, tight callouts |
If your team still carries Kitchen Knives and Survivor class leftovers, stay on Normal. Hard multiplies the cost of every open-door mistake.
Access — Public / Friends
- Public — anyone can join the group session within Roblox rules for that lobby type. Fine for social chaos, poor for long saves.
- Friends — recommended for 100-day and escape attempts so only your party touches quest items and barricades.
Campaign — New / Temporary
| Campaign | Meaning |
|---|---|
| New | Persistent attempt you intend to keep — spend codes and class unlocks here |
| Temporary | Throwaway practice for routes, Lift 2 shaft timing, or neighbor knock order |
Never burn rare tool spawns learning Floor 27 on a New Hard save if you can rehearse on Temporary first.
Save slots and game passes
Full pass prices, limits, and buy order live on Game Passes. The shop includes extra save slots sold as game passes (commonly Save Slot 2 / Save Slot 3 style offers) plus specialty passes such as Locksmith. Practical guidance:
- Buy a second save slot if you want one Easy/Normal learning campaign and one Hard main without wiping progress.
- Treat Locksmith as a class/access investment when locked routes block your group — compare its value against unlocking Medic/Cook/Electrician with Cash from
Update2first. - Cosmetic or meme passes can wait until your main slot already has a bat-tier melee plan.
Exact Robux prices change; check the in-experience pass list before purchasing.
Controls overview
Exact keybinds can vary slightly by device and Roblox shift-lock settings, but the gameplay vocabulary stays consistent:
| Action | What to practice |
|---|---|
| Move | Smooth strafing in hallways — do not sprint into unknown corners |
| Camera / shift lock | Keep doorframes readable before swings |
| Interact / hold interact | Peephole checks, drinking from sealed bottles, valve turns, hand-ins |
| Attack | Melee timing with Baseball Bat reach — poke, do not panic mash in doorways |
| Inventory / hotbar | Keep wrench and keys on predictable slots for neighbor calls |
| Menu / Settings | Codes redemption, graphics, and audio so you hear knocks |
Mobile tips: pin the interact button mentally before Night 0; the keyboard overlay can hide Redeem in the Codes UI — dismiss it first. Console / controller: confirm interact vs attack so you do not swing when you meant to check a peephole.
Pre-flight checklist (host)
- Join the Dateline NBC group and redeem Update2 (Codes).
- Unlock at least one S-tier class if Cash allows (Tier List).
- Create a Group → set Players, Difficulty, Access, Campaign.
- Assign roles: point (bat), support (Medic/Cook), tools (wrench/cutters/keys), runner.
- Share Neighbors ownership so Daniel through Dev Patel are not double-claimed.
- Agree win condition: 100 days vs escape via Lift 2 / roof routing.
- Start only when everyone finished Settings and hotbar setup.
Common lobby mistakes
- Hosting Public + Hard + New with random joins — expect lost wrenches.
- Skipping Temporary rehearsals for Floor 27 valve and Floor 19 kitchen routes.
- Forgetting Codes until day 20 when class respecs already feel expensive.
- Four players all bringing short knives because nobody opened the tier list.
- No one watching the peephole on Night 0 when Daniel knocks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for survivors stuck on floor 30.
How do I create a private group in 30 Floors Up?
Use Create a Group in the lobby, set Players from 1–4, choose Friends access, pick Easy/Normal/Hard, and select New or Temporary campaign.
What is the difference between New and Temporary campaigns?
New is a persistent run you intend to keep. Temporary is for practice routes and neighbor timings without risking your main save.
How many friends can join my 30 Floors Up lobby?
Create a Group supports up to four players total (you plus three friends). Public servers can be larger, up to the experience’s 30-player cap.
Should I buy save slot game passes?
Extra save slots help if you want separate learning and Hard mains. Prioritize class unlocks from Update2 Cash before cosmetic passes.
Where do I redeem codes from the lobby UI?
Launch the experience, open Settings on the left, open Codes, enter Update2, and redeem after joining the Dateline NBC group.
