Beginner's guide for Roblox Skate Obby

Getting started

Use Tech Points to purchase Upgrades (Image via Roblox)

Roblox Skate Obby features multiple obstacle courses that need to be completed within a time limit. You are usually given 5 minutes and 30 seconds, which is indicated by a countdown at the top of the screen.

Each series of obstacles in this game has a checkpoint at its end. The checkpoint ensures that you can retry the obby from a particular point even if you fall or touch a red block. These glowing red blocks, which reset your progress, need to be avoided throughout a run.

Reaching the finish line rewards you with Tech Points, which are the sole currency for spending on Upgrades. You can also retry an obstacle course to beat your best time if there is enough time to complete it.

The AFK area offers a passive way to earn Tech Points in Roblox Skate Obby. Enter the area, stay online, and you'll automatically accrue points. Players are initially given 20 Tech Points for spending 90 seconds, following which the reward multiplier increases.

Although you cannot enter a race while accessing the AFK area, it offers a more reliable method for acquiring Tech Points. You don't have to complete an obby for rewards. Additionally, the continuously increasing multiplier makes the AFK area an efficient choice for grinding points.
