Survive Your Ideas
The Roblox game where whatever you type becomes real - words spawn tsunamis, dinosaurs and black holes, and you have to live through everyone's imagination. Mechanics, meta words and survival strategy.
How words work
The core rule: type a word, it happens.
On your turn as the Writer, you type any word and the game makes it real - tsunami floods the map, dinosaur spawns a rampage, medkit drops healing. Then everyone survives the result until the next writer's turn.
The Words Index
Known words are sorted into Disasters, Weather, Animals, Monsters, Nature, Objects, Places, Food, Weapons and Memes & Powers - filling Index entries earns Cash.
Set effects
Many Index words fire a hazard for a short window then fade - tsunami, meteor, dinosaur work that way.
Whole-match words
Some words persist until the match ends - zombie and meteor-type events can permanently change the round.
Unknown words
Not in the Index? The game snaps to a close match or spawns an NPC with the name you typed. Near-misses still fire - godzilla triggers a dinosaur.
The November 7 "40+ WORDS + Word Mastery!" update added new words (giant monsters, heroes, creepy creatures and secrets per the devs), buffed Mastery versions of favorites, a VIP server control panel and balancing passes.
Meta words & prices
Meta words are bought once, then typed with a / in a match. Cash-earnable ones first.

Words everyone types
The lobby's most-written board (snapshot - counts move constantly).
| Word | Why it's typed |
|---|---|
| medkit | Healing - the #1 survival word of all time |
| kill | Direct offense against spawned threats |
| weapon / gun | Arms yourself fast |
| tsunami | Classic map-wide disaster |
| fly | Mobility to escape ground hazards |
| black hole | High-chaos index entry |
Dev-confirmed words include tsunami, dinosaur, nuke, tacos, shark, apocalypse, lava, ufo and 67. Cleanup words matter too - clear / day can wipe out bad weather someone else spawned.
Survival tips
Move before the cutscene ends
If your word triggers a cutscene, treat it as a real Index effect - reposition while it plays, don't watch.
Counter-words exist
Someone summoned a storm? clear or day can clean it up on your turn.
Save meta words for late rounds
Each works once per match - burning /god early wastes it when the lobby gets chaotic.
