Last Updated: August 2026 | The busiest game in a family of eleven that all share one puzzle.
Guide the Gardeners is a Roblox drawing puzzle where two farmers each need walking home to a barn painted in their own color. You trace the route with a finger or a mouse and then watch them set off along it. The catch is that each barn sits across the field from its own farmer. The two short routes cross, and farmers who meet at the crossing lose you the board. A bacon monster stands near the middle, and stars are scattered along the way for anyone who wants them.
It opened in October 2025 and has passed 13.9 million visits. Ten other Roblox games run the same puzzle under the same kind of name. This page covers where this one came from, what its eight passes do, and the second room most players never find.

How to Play Guide the Gardeners
- Look at the colors before you draw anything. Each farmer has a barn painted to match, and pairing them up is the whole puzzle.
- Spot where the two short routes would cross. The barns sit across the field from their own farmer, so the straight lines nearly always meet.
- Pick one farmer to send the long way round. Only one route has to bend, and choosing early saves you drawing both twice.
- Draw the bending route first. Once it is down, the second one is usually obvious.
- Steer well clear of the bacon monster. It stands near the middle, right where the paths want to meet.
- Pick up the stars if the route passes them. They cost you nothing and they are the only thing to collect here.
- Let them walk before you change anything. Nothing fails until the farmers are moving, so watch it play out first.
- Stop when you are stuck. Your levels save when you leave, so a board that beats you tonight is still there tomorrow.
Guide the Gardeners Gameplay: One Puzzle, Eleven Games
This game did not invent what it does. Eleven Roblox games run this exact puzzle, and the first of them opened seven weeks before this one.
That first game is Guide The Bacons, and it is still the biggest of the lot with 55.3 million visits. It stopped getting updates three weeks after it opened, which is how this one ended up the busiest.
Here is where the name gets fun. In Roblox, a bacon is the plain starter avatar with the pointy hair. The enemy standing in the middle of every board here is called a bacon monster.
So the thing you walk home in the first game is the thing you run away from in this one. And in August 2026 this studio released its own game called Guide Bacons, going back to the original name a year later.

This one. 13.9 million visits, and the busiest of the lot right now. |

Same studio. Park two cars instead of walking two farmers home, with police in place of the monster. |

Aug 2026 |
This studio’s own take on the name the first game used, a year later. |
This studio has made three of the eleven, and their three game pages are the same block of text with the nouns swapped out. Guide Bacons and this game differ on two lines only, and both still tell you to avoid the bacon monsters.
The pictures match the text. Guide the Cars shows a red car and a green car. A red line and a green line cross on the way to a red space and a green space, and an angry policeman stands off to one side. Same drawing, different nouns.
There Is a Second Room Called the End Zone
Guide the Gardeners is not one place. It is two, and the second one is called the End Zone.
You would not know from the game page, which never mentions it. The shop is what gives it away, because two of the eight passes say so themselves.
The Laser Gun costs 99 Robux and the Rainbow Magic Carpet costs 67. Both say in their own text that they work in the End Zone. Not in the puzzle. In the End Zone.
That is 166 Robux of a 1,140 Robux shop that does nothing at all in the game most people came for. It is a party room bolted onto a puzzle, and it has its own price list.
The Shop Sells Trouble and It Sells the Cure
Eight passes are on sale and together they come to 1,140 Robux. Two of them are the reason this shop is worth writing about.
The Bat costs 69 Robux and its whole description is that it lets you troll people in game. The Anti-Troll pass costs 49 Robux and stops you being trolled.
Both went on sale in January 2026, two days apart, and both are still up. Then the VIP pass at 99 Robux throws the Anti-Troll in free, so the shield doubles as the reason to trade up.
Then add the 149 Robux pass that turns you into the bacon monster. That is 384 Robux, about a third of the shop, pointed at other players rather than at any puzzle.
| Pass |
Price |
What it does |
| Admin |
599 R$ |
Admin powers, and more than half the price of the whole shop. |
| Become Bacon Monster |
149 R$ |
You play as the monster instead of running from it. |
| VIP |
99 R$ |
A tag, two free skips, and the Anti-Troll pass included. |
| Laser Gun |
99 R$ |
A laser gun, and only in the End Zone. |
| Bat |
69 R$ |
Sold, in its own words, for trolling other players. |
| Rainbow Magic Carpet |
67 R$ |
A flying carpet, also only in the End Zone. |
| Anti-Troll |
49 R$ |
Stops other people trolling you. |
| Speed Coil |
9 R$ |
You walk faster. |
The Admin pass at 599 Robux is the outlier. That single item costs more than the other seven put together.
None of it is needed. Every level is open from the start and no pass draws a path, skips a board or unlocks anything the puzzle keeps back.
The Save Button Is Busier Than the Vote Button
Guide the Gardeners has been saved to people’s lists 253,585 times. It has been voted on 1,129 times, split 630 likes to 499 dislikes.
That is 224 saves for every single vote. Across the eleven games in this family the same sum runs from about four to one all the way up to 787 to one.
What makes it interesting is where the split falls. The four games from one small studio all sit down at the low end, near where most Roblox games land. The games from the other three studios, this one included, all sit high.
Same puzzle, same months, same size of audience, and the gap follows the studio rather than the game. Nobody outside those studios can say why, so the numbers are worth knowing and the reason is not something anyone can hand you.
Badges, and What the Only One Can Tell You
There is exactly one badge in Guide the Gardeners. It is called Welcome, you get it for walking in, and 7,777,387 players have it.
It is worth knowing that the badge was made in January 2026, three months after the game opened. Everyone who played in those first three months walked in before the counter existed, so it is not a lifetime headcount.
What it does give you is today’s rate. About 10,964 people picked that badge up in the last day, which means roughly eleven thousand new players are still walking in daily.
For a game whose last update landed in June 2026, that is a lot of people still turning up on their own.
Tips for New Guide the Gardeners Players
- Wide beats short. A long looping path that misses everything wins the board, and there is no timer punishing you for it.
- A path can bend as much as you like. Nothing scores you on how neat it is.
- The monster does not chase you. It sits still, so treat it as a wall and route around it.
- Two farmers can use the same ground at different moments. What loses the board is meeting there together.
- Nothing in the shop solves a board. All eight passes are toys, tags and speed, so a hard level stays hard.
- Six players share a server, so someone may be messing about near you. That is what the Anti-Troll pass is for.
- It plays fine on a phone. Drawing with a finger is arguably easier than with a mouse.
Guide the Gardeners FAQ
What am I actually doing in this game?
Drawing a route from each farmer to the barn that matches their color, without the two farmers meeting on the way.
Why do the paths always want to cross?
Because each barn is placed across the field from its own farmer. That is the puzzle, and one route always has to swing wide.
What is the bacon monster?
A monster wearing the plain starter avatar with the pointy hair, standing near the middle of the board. Route around it.
Does my progress save?
Yes. The game page says your levels save when you leave, so you can stop on a hard one and come back.
How much does the shop cost?
1,140 Robux for all eight passes, and the Admin pass is 599 of that on its own. Nothing in the shop solves a puzzle.
Is there a working script?
No, and nobody has written one. Our Guide the Gardeners script page explains why the search fills up with a farming game.
Is this the original game of its kind?
No. Guide The Bacons opened seven weeks earlier and is still the biggest of the eleven.
