Chat-free, voice-free, no gore — official maps only; kids do not stumble into player-made maps.
Hi, parents and guardians. Doors is built to be a low-stress multiplayer game — a quick robot-themed arena shooter without the social risks that come with open chat. This page is informational; the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are the binding rules.
No chat. No voice. No DMs.
The game is purposefully chat-free and voice-free. There is no text chat, no voice chat, no emote spam channel, and no player-to-player messaging inside Doors. You won't find strangers typing at your kid mid-match, and we don't store conversation content from matches — because there is none.
Players coordinate only through gameplay (movement, shooting, capturing objectives / doors — whatever the mode calls for). Party features are for queuing with people you already know by username, not for open social networking.
What the game actually is
- A simple first-person shooter with robots and clean, arcade-style competition
- No gore and no blood — hits and eliminations are non-graphic; think friendly robo-sport, not horror
- Modes for casual play and optional ranked competition for players who create an account
- Official maps only in the modes kids actually play — not a player-upload / UGC game
Official maps. Not user-generated content.
Doors is not a user-generated-content game. There is no way for a player to submit a map and have it show up for everyone. There is no workshop, no public map browser, and no "community maps" tab in ordinary play.
Every official map is reviewed and installed by Doors on our own servers. If someone emails us a layout, that is a suggestion to our staff — not an upload into the game. We decide whether to use it, and most never ship. Kids in open, ranked, raid, or campaign matches are only on maps we put there.
Community servers are not something you stumble onto
A separate, highly technical path exists for adults or advanced users who want to run their own copy of the server software (for example to try a layout they built in the map builder with friends). That path is not part of Find-a-game the way official modes are.
- Community servers are not listed in the official server list. The game will not recommend one or drop a player into one by accident.
- Joining requires typing the exact IP address and port the host gave you, plus their join password. If you do not have both, you cannot get there.
- Hosts must set a join password. The IP alone is not enough — the server will not start without one.
- Standing one up usually means downloading a zip, running a program in a terminal, and often configuring router port forwarding. It is not a kid-facing "create a map and publish it" button.
A community host's custom layout lives on their machine. It is not an official Doors map and is not something other players will encounter through normal play. If your household only uses official modes, you will not see player-made maps.
Age & accounts
Doors is aimed at people who want a quick competitive FPS without toxic chat culture, but it is still a shooter. The Service is not directed to children under 13. Open / casual servers can often be joined with just a display name on the device. Ranked play, profiles, coins, and purchases use signed-in accounts managed with Clerk. Usernames can appear on public leaderboards. We recommend parents help younger players choose a username that doesn't include real names, schools, or locations. If your child is under 18, you are responsible for their use of the Service under our Terms.
Coins & optional spending
Players earn free coins in official matches and can spend them on cosmetic robot equipment (mesh styles and tints). The game is fully playable without spending money. When coin packs or direct paid cosmetics are offered for real money, checkout is handled by Stripe and requires a signed-in account. Virtual currency has no cash value and purchases are generally final once delivered (see Terms). If your household wants to avoid real-money purchases, use device-level purchase restrictions / shared-device settings, and keep payment methods off accounts kids use. Unauthorized or accidental purchases should be reported promptly to contact@doorsfps.com; we are not obligated to refund in every case, but we will look into clear mistakes and fraud when we can.
Privacy in one line
We don't sell personal information for money. Accounts use Clerk; optional payments use Stripe; we may use crash/diagnostic tools (such as Sentry) to keep the game stable. Full detail lives in the Privacy Policy.
