Brookhaven RP Beginner Guide: Your First Week

What to do first

Start by learning the sidebar. It holds the menus for your avatar, inventory, animations, vehicles, houses, jobs and the store. Almost everything you do in Brookhaven starts there.

On a computer, use WASD or the arrow keys to move and Space to jump. On a phone, use the on-screen joystick and buttons. On a console, use the usual Roblox controller layout. If a guide tells you to press a key and you are on a phone, look for the on-screen button.

• Open the Houses menu and claim a plot marked Vacant.
• Open the Vehicles menu and pick a free car.
• Pick a job if you want a role for your story.
• Walk or drive around town to learn where things are.

Houses and saving

The official guide says you can hold one property at a time, and that swapping homes starts a cooldown. If every plot is taken, try an apartment or motel room, or move to another server.

Decorations do not save by themselves. The official guide says to save from the house menu before you leave, so make that a habit.

Vehicles and jobs

Most vehicles are free. Cars appear near you at the curb. Boats need water and aircraft need a helipad. Boats, aircraft and some special vehicles may need a pass, and a picture in a menu does not always mean the item is free.

Jobs are for roleplay. A guide from September 2026 says they do not pay wages, so there is no need to work to unlock anything. Pick one from the Jobs menu, or walk into a building and use its Take Job button. Your job icon then shows above your head.

How progress works

There is no quest order to finish first. Houses, cars and jobs come with the base game. The official guide says Robux buys game passes that add extras, and seasonal events can have Tickets, which you earn from rides and mini-games. You can play the whole game without spending anything.

So progress here means better stories. Agree on a scene with other players before you hand out roles, such as family, school or hospital.

Staying safe

Brookhaven's parents' guide says there is no voice chat or camera in the game, and that typed chat is filtered and grouped by age. You can mute, block or report anyone from the in-game menu.

• Brookhaven has no promo codes. Offers of free Robux or codes are scams.
• "Free VIP server" links do not come from the developers.
• If someone asks for secrets, offers you Robux or wants to move to another app, tell a parent or trusted adult and report them.

Common mistakes and what to do next

New players often forget to save their house, follow computer key instructions on a phone, or assume every item in a menu is free. Another mistake is buying a private server just to play with a friend. You can usually use Join Experience on your friend's profile, as long as their settings allow it.

Once you know the basics, visit the school, the hospital and the shops, then try a new job each session. The subway is an easy way to see more of the map.
