Is Rainbow Friends Suitable For Kids?

Rainbow Friends has taken Roblox by storm, and is now one of the platform's most popular games. But what actually is Rainbow Friends, and is it a game that's appropriate for kids? After all, some Roblox games are known for their horrifying themes, while others focus on more lighthearted subject matter. Here's everything you need to know about Rainbow Friends and its age rating.

What Is Rainbow Friends?

Rainbow Friends is a horror Roblox game that requires players to avoid monsters by completing tasks to escape the amusement park called Odd World. In addition to being playable on Roblox, the game is also available on its own website as a solo experience. There are currently two chapters of Rainbow Friends available, and you'll need to finish the first chapter before diving in to the second.

Throughout the game, players will have face-to-face encounters with the creepy monsters chasing them through the halls - and it's likely newbies will get caught a few times as they find their footing. The game is similar in style to other popular mascot horror games, like Poppy Playtime and Bendy and the Ink Machine. It has its own lore, explaining why the players ended up in Odd World, and the strange things that are going on there.

Is Rainbow Friends Scary?

Yes, some people consider Rainbow Friends to be scary, but there's no actual gore in the game. All death scenes "cut to black," meaning no gore or severe violence is actually shown on screen; it's all implied. There also aren't any jarring jumpscares, unlike in Five Nights at Freddy's. The characters in Rainbow Friends themselves, while unsettling, aren't truly terrifying in design, either.

While Rainbow Friends likely won't scare adults or kids who enjoy horror, it might not be a great game for very young kids thanks to its unsettling themes and premise. Rainbow Friends would be a good game for those ages 12+, who can handle mild violence.

Overall, while Rainbow Friends does have some elements of horror and some pretty creepy moments, it's not too terrifying for most kids and won't scare the vast majority of adults. It's a more unsettling game than an outright "scary" one, lending itself to mild psychological horror thanks to its strange and creepy premise, and the air of mystery.
