Save Your Friend is a puzzle escape game on Roblox developed by Maximise Games where players navigate individual numbered rooms to rescue an avatar trapped behind logic riddles, obby obstacle courses, and code locks. Progress requires reaching and touching the trapped friend or Noob avatar at the end of each stage. This walkthrough provides verified solutions for the game's toughest challenges, with a complete step-by-step breakdown for Hard Mode Levels 1 through 20 and strategies for tricky recurring puzzle mechanics.
How Save Your Friend Works Across Game Modes
Save Your Friend features a main progression system spanning up to 330 levels in its expanded updates, alongside an optional 220-level Hard Mode, a cooperative Duos Mode, and limited-time event playlists such as the 30-level Halloween Event. Earlier builds of the game tracked single-player normal runs up to Level 160 before expanding further.
Each room operates as a self-contained trial. Players must solve the puzzle or complete the physical jump route, step directly onto the trapped avatar, and trigger the green clear message before moving to the next numbered room. In the lobby, players can equip pets hatched with gems to boost in-game gem and win earnings, access the gem shop for cosmetics, or purchase utility passes like Move Faster, Jump Higher, Magic Carpet, or VIP hints.

Solutions for Recurring Puzzle Families in Normal Mode
Normal Mode cycles through several puzzle families across its stages. Recognizing how each system functions prevents unnecessary resets.
Keypad and Trivia Stages
Number puzzles fall into two categories: hidden codes and question doors.
- Keypad stages place digit clues behind walls, beneath crates, or across floor tiles. For example, Level 11 in early normal mode uses code 3018 hidden behind a room wall, while later stages use combinations like 1957, 7551, or Roman numerals (such as 2, 4, and 5).
- Trivia stages require stepping directly onto the correct answer tile. Early math doors ask basic arithmetic such as 77 minus 10 (step on 67), while later rooms test trivia such as Roblox's release year (step on 2006) or color blending (blue plus yellow equals green).
Machine, Color Mixing, and Sliding Mechanics
Interactive rooms require manipulating physical elements within the stage:
- Color mixing requires selecting matching primary components: violet combines red and blue; green combines blue and yellow; pink combines red and white.
- Beam and valve puzzles require rotating joints so orange or laser lines connect from source points to receptors without gaps.
- Sliding number tile puzzles (such as combining blocks to reach 64 points) require shifting rows left, down, up, and right to merge matching pairs (2s into 4s, 4s into 8s, up to 64).
Boss Stages and Combat Minigames
Periodic boss levels, such as the Evil Bacon or King Bacon encounters, switch from static puzzles into active evasion arenas.
- Attack patterns: Run in wide circles around projectile bursts. During Undertale-style evasion sections or UFO encounters, keep your character near the bottom of the arena where projectile spreads are widest and easiest to sidestep.
- Dealing damage: Step onto glowing green nodes, cannons, or timing bars when indicators cross the green center zone to unleash strikes and deplete the boss's health bar.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many levels are in Save Your Friend on Roblox?
The game features 330 numbered levels in its primary update branch, alongside 3 boss fights and a separate 220-level Hard Mode. Earlier releases contained 160 levels.
What happens when you complete a room?
Walking into the trapped friend or Noob avatar triggers a green rescue notification, awards player experience or gems, and opens the door or teleport pad to the next level.
Can you skip levels in Save Your Friend?
Levels can be bypassed individually using the in-game skip button or through game passes such as VIP (which grants 2x faster free skips and hints) or the Skip All pass sold in the shop for Robux. Normal event missions, however, generally require clearing all stages consecutively to count toward reward counters.
