Escape from Roblox
Advanced, Single Delegate
Welcome to the Roblox Committee, where a digital dream has turned into a global crisis. Several of the world’s most famous figures—from presidents and pop stars to scientists and athletes—are mysteriously trapped inside Roblox during a high-profile VR launch gone wrong. As delegates, you’ll step into their roles and navigate bizarre virtual landscapes, uncover hidden threats, and work together to escape before the game collapses. Along the way, you’ll face ethical dilemmas about data, platform responsibility, and the dangers of immersive tech. Fast-paced, unpredictable, and packed with sci-fi intrigue, this committee asks: can humanity’s brightest minds outwit the very code they’re trapped in?

Hello! My name is Rishit Pradhan, and I’m a 3rd-year Chemical Biology major at UC Berkeley. I’m from the incredible city of Bakersfield, and outside of classes on niche reaction mechanisms, you can usually find me going on various “side-quests”, making people laugh (allegedly), or getting way too excited about oddly specific topics like boats or hypothetical scenarios. I’ve always enjoyed things that let me blend creativity with structure, which is probably what drew me to crisis in the first place.
This year, I’ll be serving as your Chair for a committee that’s definitely one of the more unconventional ones we’ve come up with. The concept is wild, the pace will be fast, and the room will be full of unexpected moments—which is exactly the kind of environment I love. I’m really looking forward to seeing how each of you brings your own voice and ideas to the table. Whether you’re bold, chaotic, quiet, strategic, or something in between, there’s room for it all here.
I’m excited to meet you, work with you, and see where this goes. Let’s make it a good one.Rishit Pradhan rishit_pradhan@berkeley.edu

Hello!
My name is Anita White and I can’t wait to be your Crisis Director for Escape from Roblox! I’m a second year Political Science and Ancient Greek and Roman Studies student here at Cal and I grew up in Sacramento, CA. I have been competing in Model UN since my freshman year of high school so joining UCBMUN was a no-brainer! Since then I’ve had the amazing opportunity to travel across North America to compete in all kinds of committees, including in LA and Boston.
In addition to MUN, I also coached middle school speech and debate, ran cross country and track, and played rugby. I’m a huge soccer fan, and spend my time rooting for Tottenham Hotspur (Come On You Spurs!) in the Premier League and Barcelona in La Liga. I also love taking day trips around the Bay Area, mastering BART, reading, hiking, and skiing.
As a delegate, I’ve come to love the unpredictability and creativity of crisis committees, which is why I’m super excited to welcome you all to Roblox! The unique nature of this committee’s structure and topic opens the door to endless backroom opportunities. I encourage all delegates to stretch their imaginative muscles and help us bring this committee to its full potential.
See you all in December!
