Assassin!

Assassin! is one of Roblox's oldest and most iconic deathmatch games, created in March 2016 by the Assassin Community group and developer Prisman. Each round, every player in the 8-person lobby is secretly assigned a target and must hunt them down with throwing knives while avoiding whoever is assigned to hunt them in return. The result is a closed chain of predator-prey relationships - everyone is simultaneously hunter and hunted. With over 781 million total visits and 2.6 million favorites, it holds a foundational place in Roblox history.

When you eliminate your target you inherit their target as your next assignment, creating chain reactions that rapidly collapse the lobby. The long-term draw is the deep knife cosmetic economy built up over a decade of play:

• ⚔️ Common and Rare - widely available through Coins earned from kills and survival time
• 💎 Legendary - harder to obtain and notable in trades
• 🏆 Exotic - high-prestige tier; the focus of most active traders; the VIP pass Spark Blade is an Exotic
• 💎 Mythic and Dream - the rarest tiers; ultra-limited and the pinnacle of collector status
• 🎭 Pets - cosmetic companions with their own rarity tiers and community-tracked value
• 🏆 Prestige system - progression from Level 5 through Prestige 10; badge data shows about 142K players have reached Prestige 10

Each knife and pet has a specific name and community-tracked value maintained in an official Value List run by administrator Zickoi. Trades are evaluated using W/F/L (Win/Fair/Loss) shorthand. The community Discord (roughly 39,000 members) and the official Fandom wiki at roblox-assassinoff.fandom.com serve as the trading community's primary hubs.

Seasonal Clan contests and ranked competitions add a competitive layer with leaderboard rewards for organized groups. The game has operated for 10 years - concurrent players are lower than the 2017-2019 peak, but the trading community remains active. The code program effectively ended around 2020; new codes are extremely rare but historically gave named knife skins and pets with known trading values.
