Room Boosts
Introducing Room Boosts: A New Way to Support the Rooms You LoveRoom Boosts are a new feature that will roll out over the coming weeks. They’ll work sort of like Discord Server Boosts: players and creators unlock more perks as a room accumulates more Boosts.
Why Room Boosts?We built Room Boosts to bring players and creators closer together through shared love of great rooms. With Room Boosts, you can:
- Support rooms you love: Players can help their favorite rooms grow by contributing Boosts that improve discoverability and unlock new perks for the room.
- Reward your community: Creators can thank their supporters with special room badges and in-room rewards granted via new room Boost chips.
- Celebrate and share: The most Boosted rooms get featured in a new Rec Center door and get special medals on their thumbnails, helping even more players find and enjoy them.
How Room Boosts WorkRoom Boosts will be purchasable from the in-game store - available in bundles of:
- 3 for 1,500 tokens
- 10 for 4,500 tokens
- Use the “Boost” button in a room’s Details page.
- Interact with a Boost Button prop in a room, added by the room’s creator.
- Activate a Boost directly from your backpack while visiting a room. (Enjoy the special “boosting” celebration effect!)
What Do Rooms Get?Room Thumbnail Medals:
As rooms gain more Boosts, they’ll unlock new perks and recognition, including a new “Boosted” medal on top of their room thumbnail in the play menu:
As rooms gain more Boosts, they’ll unlock new perks and recognition, including a new “Boosted” medal on top of their room thumbnail in the play menu:

- Bronze Medal - 20+ Boosts
- Silver Medal - 100+ Boosts
- Gold Medal - 1,000+ Boosts (we expect this will be very, very rare)
Custom Profile BadgesRoom Boosts have recently expanded to all creators - and room badges are being granted to the Top 10 most boosted rooms on a weekly cadence. Read more in our update post here!
“Most Boosted” Door in the Rec Center:Every week, the one of the 10 most-boosted rooms will be randomly selected for a special door in the Rec Center - a great way to spotlight active, beloved rooms.
What Do Players Get?Room Badges:When you’re in a room you’ve boosted, your nametag will display a special booster badge, leveling up as you support the room with more boosts.
- Red Badge – 1+ Boost
- Bronze Badge – 3+ Boosts
- Silver Badge – 6+ Boosts
- Gold Badge – 10+ Boosts
(This is a proof-of-concept showing a room badge in the wild, not a real badge from ^PrisonLife).
Unique In-Room Rewards:Room Creators with boosting enabled will have access to special chips that will allow them to detect when players boost their rooms, and grant them in-game rewards. We’re really excited to see how you utilize this system - whether it’s gifting boosters stuff for their in-room inventory, or creating a special “Boosters Only” VIP area - there’s plenty of room to get creative and say thanks to players for boosting your room!
Rollout TimelineHere’s how Room Boosts will launch:

- Nov 17 – Custom badges unlock for rooms with 50 Boosts & the “Top Boosted” door appears in the Rec Center.
- Dec 1 – Room creators can start granting custom badges to players. You’ll start to see players who have boosted rocking unique badges!
