Parent demo prep

The Day-5 last hour. Here's how to make it land.

The day before (Thursday end-of-day)​

  • Save every kid's Obby. Studio → File → Save to Roblox (their account) or Save to File (your USB). Day-5 morning is not the time to discover a missing save.
  • Email parents a reminder. Time, room, what they'll see (a ~5-min walkthrough per kid). Mention they can come early; you'll be set up.
  • Plan room flow. If parents will rotate between siblings, you need ~5 min per kid per parent. Map it.

Friday morning checklist (before parents arrive)​

  • Every kid's Studio open, signed in, and on the right place file.
  • Every kid's Obby plays start-to-finish for them in Studio Play mode.
  • Every kid has rehearsed (Day 5 Block 3 covers this).
  • Chairs arranged so parents can stand or sit behind each kid.
  • Snacks/water out for parents.
  • Sign or board: "Welcome to [Camp name] Roblox Part 1 Demo".
  • Coach has a list of all kids' names + their themes, in case kids freeze.
  • Backup plan if a Studio crashes: show the kid's saved game in a browser, OR pivot to "let me walk you through what they built" with the coach driving.

What each kid presents (the template)​

Kids pick 3 favorite stages (not all 10). For each:

"This is stage [N]. The obstacle is [X]. The hardest part is [Y]."

Three sentences per stage = ~3-4 min total. Parents can ask questions to extend.

For 10-13 year-olds who tried a Stretch Hard challenge, encourage them to show the Lua script at the end. Open the script, point at one thing they understand:

"This is the script that makes the wall move. This part right here [points] tells it how fast to go."

Parents love this. Demystifies the "is my kid actually coding?" question.

Sample kid script​

Print this and put it by their screen if they want it:

👋 Hi! My name's _________ and I built this Obby this week.

[Click ▶ Play in Studio]

This is Stage 1. It's a climbing wall. The hardest part is
the last block — it's really tall.

[Walk through Stage 1]

This is Stage __ [their favorite]. The obstacle is __________.
The hardest part is _______________.

[Walk through]

And this is Stage 10 — the puzzle room. You have to press the
buttons in the right order. The clue is on the wall.

[Solve the puzzle]

That's it! Any questions?

Kids who finish early can also show:

  • Their theme: "Everything in my Obby is jungle-themed."
  • Their Stretch Challenges: "I made a moving wall in Stage 1 with a script."
  • The Toolbox: "I imported all the KillBricks and Mines from someone named 55hpmonk."

Coach role during the demo​

You're a backup memory and a hype person.

  • If a kid freezes, prompt them: "Tell them about your puzzle room — what's the order?"
  • If a parent asks a hard technical question, help the kid answer if they can, or just say: "Yeah, the Lua script does [X]. [Kid] tweaked it during stage [N]."
  • Take lots of photos. Kids in front of their screens with their parents = the photos parents will keep.
  • Note dropouts: if a parent has to leave mid-demo, offer the kid a 30-sec re-show before parents go home.

What the demo is NOT​

  • Not a tech support session for parents who want to install Studio at home (offer to email instructions).
  • Not a sales pitch for the next session — light mention is fine, but don't dwell.
  • Not a stage-by-stage walk through ALL 10 stages per kid. Three is plenty. Parents will glaze on 10.

After parents leave​

  • Send a thank-you email with:
  • Save your notes for next session — common stuck points, pacing tweaks, what worked.
