How to enter Gakuran
Join the Gakuran official group
Gakuran is a closed-community game. You must first join the official Roblox group (and usually the official Discord) before you can enter a server. Without joining, you can't get in.
Wait to join a server
After joining you can usually enter within 1–2 minutes. Right after big updates there can occasionally be server lag/freezes.
Create your Gakuran character
On first entry you'll go through character creation: choose your name and gender, while the game randomly generates age, height, ethnicity and appearance based on population stats. See Characters.
Head out and play
There are no fixed objectives. Find the stairs, go down to the outside, and you'll reach the area full of players. The rest — socializing, jobs, basketball, fighting — is up to you.
First thing: many new players don't know how to fight — press T to enter/toggle combat stance and you can start throwing hands.
Gakuran controls (PC)
Controller players: open the phone with D-pad right. For everything else, follow the in-game prompts.
Cross-platform support
Gakuran supports PC, mobile and Xbox / controller. Controls differ per platform:
| Action | PC (KB&M) | Mobile | Xbox / Controller |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light attack M1 | Left click | On-screen attack button | Trigger / face button |
| Heavy attack M2 | Right click | On-screen heavy button | Trigger / face button |
| Combat stance | T | On-screen button | Controller button |
| Open phone | Alt | On-screen icon | D-pad right |
Mobile players: you can customize the on-screen button layout in settings. Since the game updates often, double-check keys in-game after each major patch.
Are there codes?
As of June 2026 there are no active codes, and the game has no redemption system yet. Watch the Codes status page and the official Discord for future additions.
The phone: a game within Gakuran
Press Alt to pull out your phone — a core feature hub in Gakuran with several apps:
Music app
Play various (copyrighted) songs. With headphones equipped, music plays through them with directional audio.
Messages
Messages reach across servers, though voice calls don't. Handy for staying in touch with friends.
Minigames
The phone also has built-in minigames (press M) to pass the time.
Content creators, note: most music in the game (music-room rhythm games, phone music app) uses real copyrighted songs. Recording video with the music playing will likely get copyright-flagged.
What can you do?
- Socialize / RP: the core of the game — act out school life with other players.
- Fight (PvP): press
Tto start; street-style brawls are everywhere. - Play basketball: the court plays like NBA 2K and is all about timing (see Map).
- Work jobs: apply for three jobs via the phone's Indeed app.
- Play music: the music room has rhythm games, and you can play piano (
Gthen6). - Customize looks: reroll face, accessories, headphones and more for a few Robux.
