Obby Games — Free Roblox-Style Obstacle Course Games Online

Famous games that defined the genre

Tower of Hell — The most-played obby on Roblox, created by PyxlDev and ObrenTune of YXceptional Studios and released on June 18, 2018. Each round assembles a fresh tower out of random obstacle sections with no checkpoints anywhere, and a shared timer resets the whole thing every few minutes — so one slip drops you back down while the clock keeps running. It is a Roblox experience, so it needs the Roblox client and an account. Play a similar multi-level obby free in your browser: Obby Modes! →

Obby Creator — A Roblox building experience where players construct their own obstacle courses out of blocks, traps and kill bricks, then publish them for other players to attempt. It is what turned obbies from a game type into a whole user-made scene. Playing or building on it requires Roblox itself. Try a browser mini-game world with building: Obby Universe →

Only Up! — A 2023 climbing platformer by solo developer SCKR Games, released on Steam on May 24, 2023. It went viral on Twitch — peaking around 280,000 concurrent viewers — for its brutal one-way ascent where a fall could undo an hour of progress. The developer delisted it from Steam in September 2023, so it is no longer sold. Play a free browser climb instead: Cubetopia Parkour →

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy — Bennett Foddy's 2017 climbing game, in which you sit in a cauldron and haul yourself up a mountain of junk using only a sledgehammer. It defined the modern "rage climb" — no checkpoints, and any mistake can send you all the way back to the start. It is a paid game on PC and mobile, not hosted here.

Minecraft parkour maps — Long before obbies, Minecraft players were building custom parkour maps — jump courses made of blocks, shared as downloadable worlds — and that blocky course design is still the visual language most obby games borrow. Playing the originals means owning Minecraft and installing the map. Play blocky parkour free in your browser: ParkourCraft →

What is an obby game?

An obby is an obstacle course level: a chain of platforms, gaps, traps and hazards that you cross using only movement and jump. The term comes from Roblox, where player-built obstacle courses became one of the most-played kinds of experience on the platform. The skill is entirely in timing and precision — reading a moving platform's rhythm, judging a jump arc, and keeping your nerve on a narrow ledge. Difficulty ranges enormously: some obbies are gentle courses aimed at younger players, while others deliberately strip out checkpoints so a single mistake sends you back to the very bottom.

Obby vs parkour games — what is the difference?

The two overlap so much that most browser sites list them together. "Obby" describes the Roblox-born idea of a built course made of blocks and traps that you hop across, usually stage by stage. "Parkour" leans on movement through an environment — running, wall jumps, sliding and keeping momentum across rooftops or cliffs. In practice a browser obby often plays like a parkour game with blockier level design, and a browser parkour game often plays like an obby with a run button. The list below includes both, so you can pick whichever feel you prefer.

How to play obby games in your browser

Everything on this page loads in the browser tab you already have open — click a game, wait a few seconds, and play. There is no download, no launcher and no account, which is the main reason people look for obby games outside Roblox. Controls are usually the classic platformer set: arrow keys or WASD to move, space to jump, and sometimes shift to sprint. Two-player games split the keyboard so a friend can play on the same computer. Touch support varies by game — 3D courses tend to play best on a desktop with a keyboard, while simpler side-on courses often work fine on a phone.
