Controls Guide

Controls philosophy

Break Glass If Bored plays like a physics toy first and a menu game second. You move through solo museum instances, aim a tool, and let Roblox physics turn shelves into landslides. Because server size is 1, you can experiment with camera angles and debris piles without another player clearing your shot.

This guide covers practical controls habits, how to use the Design Your Museum kiosk, and session tips that make secrets and leaderboard farms less frustrating. Pair it with Getting Started for the economy loop and All Secrets when a puzzle needs more than good aim.

Default Roblox movement (PC, controller, touch)

Exact keybinds follow your Roblox settings, but the mental model is stable:

ActionTypical PCWhat it means here
MoveWASDStrafe around exhibits; circle chandeliers before you cut the chain
JumpSpaceReach balconies (Glass City), pyramid steps (World Monuments), stage tape (Sitcom)
CameraRight mouse / thumbstickScout secret props before you commit a smash
SprintShift (if enabled)Cross large wings like Racetrack or Star Bridge faster
Equip / switch toolsNumber keys / backpackKeep Bowling Ball, Coil, and your main clearer ready
Activate toolLeft click / tap / triggerSwing, shoot, shove, or detonate depending on the weapon

On mobile, use a stable grip and consider a quieter wing when learning precision secrets (Music Room order, Crystal Cave geode, Star Bridge orb). Fat-finger mistakes cost puzzle resets more often than PC misses.

Rebind anything that fights your muscle memory in Roblox Settings → Keyboard & Mouse / Gamepad. Destruction games reward a comfortable swing button more than default purity.

Smashing with intent

Not every hit should be a panic click:

  1. Read the pile. Tall shelves cascade; hitting the base sometimes pays more than chipping the top.
  2. Change elevation. Balconies, railings, and pyramid faces exist so you can deliver mass from above — mandatory for Glass City’s bowling-ball secret.
  3. Swap tools mid-room. Force Push to separate stacks, sledgehammer to finish, grenades to open. Loadout logic is on Weapons.
  4. Confirm breaks. Physics can leave a prop visually wrecked but still secret-relevant. Hit again until cash/badge feedback appears.
  5. Clear your feet. Standing inside a debris mound can trap you or hide floor tile puzzles like Modern Art’s black tiles.

If a tool feels “broken,” test it in Fine China or Grocery density before you blame the bind — sparse gardens under-report splash weapons.

Design Your Museum kiosk

The Infinite Museum does not force a single permanent layout. Nebula added the Design Your Museum kiosk so you can swap exhibits and revisit wings on demand.

Why the kiosk matters

  • Retry Music Room glasses without hoping they are in today’s default path.
  • Farm a high-density wing for the glass-broken board on the Players Hub.
  • Jump to a newly released wing called out on the Updates Hub.
  • Practice Banquet Hall Bottoms Up routes after you unlock Gravity Coil.

How to use it (practical steps)

  1. Return toward Reception / early lobby spaces if you are lost deep in a wing.
  2. Interact with the Design Your Museum kiosk / terminal.
  3. Select the exhibit or wing you need from the available list.
  4. Confirm the swap and wait for streaming to finish before you swing — smashing mid-load wastes effort.
  5. Equip the tool the secret expects (Bowling Ball for Glass City, ranged option for Star Bridge, and so on).

If the kiosk does not appear, rejoin the place, walk the Reception loop again, and check whether a patch moved the terminal. Solo servers make “someone else used it” impossible — it is always a location or loading issue.

Camera and performance tips

Physics smashers spawn lots of parts. For cleaner control:

  • Lower graphics slightly if debris tanks FPS mid-nuke; input lag ruins Music Room timing.
  • Keep camera distance medium so you still see floor markers (Sitcom yellow tape, Modern Art tiles).
  • On laptop trackpads, plug in a mouse before Planetarium planet order runs.
  • Mute music temporarily if audio pitch cues help you in the Music Room but voice chat or room noise does not.

Stable FPS is a control aid, not just a visual preference.

Membership and UI prompts you should not ignore

Controls are not only keybinds. Several important interactions are UI/world prompts:

  • Official group reward in Reception — claim after joining (Players Hub).
  • Premium Force Push unlock — equip it and put it on a hotbar slot.
  • Shop terminal — buy in the order from Weapons, not impulse pistols.
  • Secret completion toasts / badges — wait a second after the final prop; leaving early can make you retry uncertain puzzles.

There is still no verified codes UI with active promos as of November 2026. When codes appear, redemption steps will land on the Codes Hub. Do not download third-party “control unlockers”; that path overlaps the risks on the Scripts Hub.

Session template using good controls habits

  1. Load in → claim Reception perks → equip Force Push + primary clearer + Bowling Ball.
  2. Open Design Your Museum → pick either a farm wing or a missing secret wing.
  3. Before swinging, orbit the room with the camera to spot odd props.
  4. Run the secret from All Secrets if needed; otherwise full-clear for cash.
  5. Shop once when cash hits the next Tier List breakpoint.
  6. If physics hitch, rejoin rather than fighting a desynced puzzle state.

Troubleshooting sticky moments

ProblemTry this
Cannot find kioskSweep Reception, rejoin, check Updates for moved lobby props
Tool will not fireRe-equip from backpack; confirm you are not in a menu
Secret will not popRe-hit the prop; verify order puzzles from the start
Stuck in debrisJump + camera out; Force Push the pile; rejoin if trapped
Mobile aim impossible on orb secretsSwitch to a ranged secret/shop gun or play that wing on PC

Master movement and the Design Your Museum kiosk early. In Break Glass If Bored, the best “combo” is often just being on the right balcony with the right tool and a camera that already spotted the prop everyone else runs past.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Where is the Design Your Museum kiosk?

Look near Reception and the early lobby halls. Interact to swap exhibits, then wait for the wing to finish loading before you smash.

Can I rebind smash controls?

Yes. Use Roblox Settings for keyboard, gamepad, or touch preferences so your activate/swing input feels natural.

Why did my secret not unlock after I broke the prop?

Hit it again to confirm the physics register, restart multi-step orders from the beginning, or rejoin if the session desynced.

Do I need a special controller for this game?

No. Mouse and keyboard, gamepad, or mobile all work. Precision secrets are easier with a mouse.

Is there a codes button in the controls menu?

No verified active codes exist as of November 2026. When Nebula adds a redeem UI, steps will be listed on the Codes Hub.
