Game Theory: The Secret Lore of Rainbow Friends SOLVED! (Roblox)

Roblox is a platform that provides tools to create games and a storefront to sell them, similar to Mario Maker but without giving away free labor. The platform hosts nearly infinite games across all genres, from Theme Park Tycoon to pet simulators.

Rainbow Friends is a co-op survival horror title where players board a bus heading to an amusement park called Oddworld, but get redirected by a mysterious shadow hand. The bus crashes and players wake up in a strange facility where a shadowy voice demands they collect blocks.

• Blue chases players if spotted • Green is blind but has greater reach • Orange quickly runs set paths throughout the facility • Purple emerges from vents • Red is the final rainbow friend who looks like an octopus in a business suit

Players must work together to find requisite blocks, food pouches, fuses, and batteries demanded by Red. The game culminates with a giant blue monster chasing players through vents.

The facility is revealed to be Riverride through Hemlock Woods, a small amusement park with log flume boats. It contains multiple themed areas including a forest, farm, castle, and mine within a few rooms.

• Rainbow Friends were television stars in a cartoon called Rainbow Fun Time Friends • Sketchbooks used to draw the characters and original voice recorders are displayed in the museum section • Blue's First Friend portrait is dated 1991 • The facility shut down in March 1991, with the last login from user O_Davis on March 6th, 1991

Oswald D. Davis is the founder of Rainbow Friends, whose portrait hangs in the hallway. The initials O.D.D. match the name of Oddworld, the amusement park mentioned in the game's opening.

A machine labeled 'this is where they were actually made' suggests the rainbow friends are real living creatures made from real living people, not just people in suits.

Red is different from other rainbow friends as he is not a mindless creature but the mastermind behind the games. He wears a lab coat and gray suit, suggesting he is the facility's operator.

• Oswald D. Davis - the founder • Trenton - a second key character with no last name or job title shown in portraits

A glass terrarium positioned between Oswald and Trenton's portraits reveals a hidden image when viewed through the glass: Trenton wearing a gray suit with black tie and black waistcoat, matching Red's outfit. This proves Trenton is Red.

Oswald discovered Trenton's secret experiments and ran a command in the computer system to start the transformation sequence, turning Trenton into Red using the same machine that created the other rainbow friends.

Oswald was unaware of Trenton's experiments initially and thought the rainbow friends were wonderful creatures. After discovering what Trenton was really doing, he trapped him in the machine and activated the transformation program.

Oswald managed to escape the facility and shut it down, then went on to create Oddworld, a successful theme park named after himself, which is the destination players were supposed to reach at the game's start.

Writing on the wall in red reads 'You only slowed me down,' implying Red's message that Oswald only delayed him, not stopped him. Red continues his experiments and traps players inside the facility.

Chapter One ends with players escaping the facility, but Red remains and likely seeks revenge on Oswald. Future chapters are expected to take place at Oddworld and introduce yellow and pink rainbow friends not yet encountered.
