Death Penalty Guides
From first lobby join to late-game Showdown—every core tutorial in one place.
Welcome to the Guides Hub for Death Penalty on Roblox. This experience by vintage mens clothing drops up to 50 players into a dark prison where an experiment wheel decides who lives. Survival mixes luck, mechanical skill, and the ability to persuade the lobby. Use these guides instead of random tips videos that skip the social layer.
Start here if you are new, then branch into experiment deep dives. Every link below is a dedicated page you can open mid-match on a second monitor—or study before you queue for the Survivor badge.
Core beginner path
Getting Started
Your first-hour checklist: how lobbies form, what the glowing entry zone means, how the prison layout reads, and what to do before the first Random Execution. Learn why Volts matter early, where Force Experiments sit near the cell block, and how not to waste your first Immunity Collar-style safety tools. Pair this with the Players Hub if you care about badges from day one.
Controls
Memorize the defaults before a Duel or Murderer round ruins you: WASD move, Space jump, F emote, Q block/prevent, C crouch, R reload. Mobile players should mirror these actions on the on-screen buttons. Clean inputs win green-light gunfights and Challenge obbies.
How to Survive
Broad survival doctrine for a last-man-standing social horror remake of Social Experiment. Topics include when to hide versus when to participate, how to talk your way out of Dropper and Favorites, when to spend Volts on Force Experiments, and how to play the mid-game when player counts shrink toward Showdown.
Experiment mastery
All Experiments
Catalog coverage for the full wheel: Random Execution, Split or Steal, Murderer, Duel, Water Tank, Revive, Favorites, Showdown, Handout, Simon Says, Dropper, Massacre, Timebomb, Linked, Five Buttons, Finders Keepers, Chaos, Last Pick, and Challenge. Use it as a reference card when an unfamiliar icon lands.
Simon Says
Focused guide for the prompt-based killer. Learn how to filter fake commands, position for visibility, and recover when the lobby panics. Simon Says punishes distraction more than bad luck—perfect practice for attention under pressure.
Duel Guide
Two subjects, guns, and a light that flips from red to green. Shooting early applies a cooldown; shooting late means death; nobody shooting can wipe both. This page covers timing habits, baiting, and how Duels feed into reputation for later social rounds.
Split or Steal
Prisoner-dilemma deep dive: both Split and both live, one Steal kills the Splitter and hands the Stealer a disposable gun, both Steal and both die. Covers early Split versus late Steal meta and how betrayal stains Favorites later.
Economy and power
Volts & Boosts
Death Penalty’s currency loop: earn Volts through survival and rewards, then spend them on Force Experiments near the cell block or on collars such as functional Immunity Collar pieces versus pure cosmetics. This guide explains value timing—when forcing an experiment saves a run versus when you should bank currency for a later threat.
Force Experiments
Dedicated board guide next to the cell block: community-listed costs such as Duel ~400 and Chaos ~2500 (confirm in-game), why Five Buttons often cannot be Forced, and when to Force versus bank ~500 for revive. Read this before impulse buys empty the wallet early.
Header dropdowns cap visible children—if a guide is missing from the menu, use View all on this hub.
