How to block Roblox, or limit it to certain times

Roblox is everywhere: Chromebooks, iPads, phones, PCs and consoles. One switch covers every one of them, or limits Roblox to the hours you choose.

Short answer

In Sheepdog Filter, open your child's Blocking tab, go to Games and switch Roblox off. It stops on every device that child uses. To allow it only at weekends or after homework, leave it on and use a schedule or Homework mode. Also set up Roblox's own parental controls for chat and spending.

Block Roblox with Sheepdog Filter

  1. Open your dashboard and choose your child (or Home Wi‑Fi for every device in the house).
  2. Go to the Blocking tab and open Games.
  3. Switch Roblox off. It stops loading in the app and the browser within a minute, on every device set up for that child.

Want it only at certain times? Leave it on and add a schedule (for example school nights), or use Homework mode to pause it until a time you pick. Want to make an exception? Tap Allow for a bit and choose 30 minutes, an hour or the rest of the day; it switches back by itself.

Roblox's own parental controls

Roblox lets parents link their own account to a child's to manage it. Use them for:

  • Chat: turn off chat or limit it to friends.
  • Spending: set a monthly Robux limit.
  • Content maturity: limit experiences by maturity label.
  • Screen time: set a daily limit.

Find these in the Roblox website or app under Settings › Parental Controls.

"Unblocked" Roblox sites

Kids sometimes find websites that claim to run Roblox "unblocked" at school. Sheepdog Filter blocks these proxy and "unblocked games" sites by default and learns new ones every hour.

A balanced approach

For many families Roblox is how kids hang out with friends. A good middle ground is: Roblox allowed at weekends and after homework, chat limited to friends, Robux limited, and an internet bedtime that holds.

Questions parents ask

Does blocking Roblox work on a school Chromebook?

Only if Sheepdog Filter is set up on it. School Chromebooks are managed by the school, which may already block Roblox.

Can I allow Roblox only on weekends?

Yes. Leave it allowed and add a school-night schedule that blocks games, or block it and use Allow for a bit on weekends.
