Brookhaven RP is one of Roblox's biggest roleplay games, with millions of players creating characters, buying homes, and exploring a full city. Whether you want to be a chef, a teacher, a police officer, or just yourself, Brookhaven gives you the tools and freedom to play however you like. By the end of this guide, you'll know how to set up your character, claim a house, get a vehicle, and start roleplaying with others.
Joining and Setting Up Your Character
When you first load Brookhaven RP, you'll create or choose your character appearance. Pick a skin tone, hair style, and clothing that matches the character you want to play. Your choice isn't permanent — you can change your look at any time by visiting the mirror or clothing areas in the game.
Once you spawn into the city, you're free to walk around and explore. The game gives you a clean slate, so decide on your character's job, personality, and story as you play. Want to be a parent living peacefully? A pilot? A student? It's your choice.
Finding and Owning a House
Houses are the heart of Brookhaven. The game includes a variety of homes to buy, from small apartments to massive estates. You can browse available properties by walking around the neighborhood and looking for "For Sale" signs, or use the house menu interface to view options and prices.
When you find a house you like, interact with it to purchase and claim ownership. Once it's yours, you can decorate the inside and outside with furniture and props. Remember that in a public server, there's a wait time before you can switch to a different house, so choose carefully. A private server removes this restriction if you're willing to pay for one.
Getting and Driving Vehicles
Vehicles make exploring and roleplaying more fun. You can spawn vehicles near your house or at specific parking areas around the city. When you own a vehicle, you can customize it and park it in your driveway or garage.
To drive, simply sit in the driver's seat and use standard movement controls (WASD on keyboard, or analog stick on console). Different vehicles handle differently, so try a few to find your style.
Exploring the City
Brookhaven has plenty to discover beyond your house. The mall is a hub where you can shop, socialize, and participate in events like the fireworks stands that appear during seasonal updates. Different neighborhoods offer different vibes, so walk or drive around to find areas that feel right for your roleplay.
The city is a shared space with other players, so you'll meet others living out their own stories. Interact with them, start conversations, and build your roleplay experience together.
Customization and Props
One of the best parts of Brookhaven is filling your house with props and furniture. You can pick up objects throughout the game and place them inside your home to create the perfect setup for your character. Props range from simple chairs and tables to elaborate decorations that match your home's theme.
If you're in a private server, you get expanded features like unlimited prop placing, the ability to save props, and tools to lock or remove props placed by others.
Private Server Advantages
If you want more control over your gameplay experience, a private server is available. Private servers let you customize almost everything: set the time of day, change the weather, remove the wait time to switch houses, spawn up to three vehicles at once, and increase your prop limit. You can also set other players as admins, kick or temporarily ban players, and control server-wide music and announcements. These servers are great for playing with friends or creating your own perfect roleplay environment.
