Finding a Roblox experience that looks like yours is stressful. Here's a practical order of operations. It isn't legal advice. If money or a big launch is at stake, talk to a lawyer who handles games or IP. If the similar page is on Steam, see someone cloned my game on Steam.
1. Don't panic, and don't contact the other creator yet
Public call-outs and angry messages can backfire. First work out what actually overlaps and save the evidence while the experience page is still up. Treat what you find as a possible similarity until you have checked it, not as a proven clone.
2. Save evidence with dates
- Save the full experience URL (and the group URL, if it belongs to a group). Keep the place or universe id from the URL.
- Take screenshots of the experience page: name, icon, thumbnails, description, creator or group name, and any “created” or “updated” dates the page shows.
- Note the date and time you first saw it (include the time zone).
- Collect proof that your work came first: your own experience or group page, dated source files, uploaded assets, and devlog or video upload dates.
On a CloneHound Roblox scan, the emailed report can include side-by-side matches with created dates you can use in an official Roblox report. CloneHound does not file a report or contact other developers for you.
3. Work out what was actually copied
This decides which official Roblox route, if any, makes sense:
- Copied assets, icon, thumbnails, audio, UI, store or description text, or code: that is usually a copyright matter. Roblox accepts copyright notices through its official IP process, described below.
- Your experience name, logo or branding: names and logos are often a trademark question. Roblox has a separate trademark notice path. Rules differ by country, so check with a lawyer if this is important to your business.
- Only the idea or a mechanic: generally not something a platform will remove. CloneHound's own guidance is that copyright covers your assets, code and text, not mechanics, and that many similar games are legitimate genre neighbors.
4. Report it through Roblox's official process
Roblox documents how to report intellectual property issues in its Intellectual Property Guidelines. This is a summary of that official process, not a substitute for it. Only file a notice for material you own or are authorized to represent. Knowingly false notices can lead to liability under the DMCA or similar laws.
Copyright notice
Copyright owners (or their agent) can send a copyright notice to Roblox's Copyright Agent at copyright_agent@roblox.com, or by mail to Legal, Roblox Corporation, 3150 S. Delaware St., San Mateo, CA 94403. Roblox also lists a phone number on that page. If you are under 13, a parent, guardian or other adult representative must submit the notice for you.
According to Roblox, a copyright notice must include all of the following:
- An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act for the copyright owner.
- A description of the copyright-protected work you say has been infringed.
- A description of the material you say is infringing, and where it is (including a URL).
- Your physical address and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are authorized to act for the owner of an exclusive copyright.
Roblox may share some details of your notice with the user you reported. If you are over 18, you may also be able to submit a copyright notice through Roblox's IP Platform.
Rights Manager
Roblox's Rights Manager lets registered rights holders request removal of unauthorized games, avatar items and assets. You must first register as a rights holder and verify ownership of your IP. After you are accepted, you can open Intellectual Property → Removal Requests, add a link to your creation plus links to the experiences or assets you are reporting (screenshots and extra detail help when you are pointing to an asset inside an experience), sign the legal agreements with your full legal name, and submit. You cannot edit a request while Roblox is reviewing it.

Trademark notice
Trademark owners (or their agent) can send a trademark notice to trademark_agent@roblox.com, or by mail to the same Legal address. Roblox asks for a description of the trademark, including the country of registration and the registration number, plus the same kind of location, contact and good-faith statements as a copyright notice. If you are over 18, you may also be able to use the IP Platform for this. If you are under 13, an adult must file it for you.
A template you can adapt for a copyright email
Hello Roblox Copyright Agent, I'm [NAME] from [STUDIO], creator of "[YOUR EXPERIENCE]": [YOUR EXPERIENCE URL] The experience "[THEIR EXPERIENCE]" ([THEIR EXPERIENCE URL]) appears to use our copyrighted material: - [e.g. our icon or thumbnails] - [e.g. description text copied word for word] - [e.g. our uploaded audio, meshes or UI] We first saw that experience on [DATE, TIME, TIME ZONE]. I can provide source files or other proof of authorship on request. I have a good faith belief that the use of this material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf. [SIGNATURE / FULL LEGAL NAME] [PHYSICAL ADDRESS] [EMAIL]
Edit this to match the facts. Do not file a notice unless you own the work or are authorized to act. CloneHound can help you gather links, dates and side-by-side comparisons; it will not send this email or file a takedown for you.
5. Tell your community, carefully
A short, factual post works best: link your real experience, say you're not connected to the other one, and avoid accusations you can't back up. Pin it where your players already look for you.
6. If someone threatens you
If a dispute turns into harassment, extortion or other safety concerns, report that through Roblox's safety tools as well. Roblox says safety issues are handled through a different process from copyright notices. Keep copies of every message.
7. Watch for the next one
Similar experiences can reappear under new names. You can run a CloneHound Roblox scan from the free scan form on clonehound.app. Choose “Roblox studio”, paste your experience or group link, and add your email. Reports are generated automatically from public data (no Roblox login required), use neutral wording such as “similar to” or “possible clone”, and include official reporting links. Paid Roblox Studio plans add a weekly re-check with new matches emailed automatically. Leaked-asset and trend alerts are still rolling out.
