How do you detect when a player opens the Roblox menu to leave the game?

I saw that in other games, that when a player clicks the Roblox menu in order to leave a game, that it’ll just show a simple ui notification that they still have rewards to claim. Obviously, this wouldn’t disrupt the official process of leaving the game, but it would show in the background, just in order to keep a players’ retention for a few more seconds so they can claim their rewards.

All I’m trying to do is to fire a remote event from there, which is easy to do. Otherwise, does Roblox have a way to check for this? (And also to check for when the player closes the menu to resume playing)

I do not know anything about scripting but after I searched it, this post might help you knowing how to do so.

Detect when the player opens/closes the leave/reset/resume prompt

There’s actually native events for doing this which you should use over UserInputService. Those two come from GuiService: MenuOpened and MenuClosed. The way GameProcessedEvent (the second parameter in most UserInputService functions, such as InputBegan) works is that it’s true if the engine is internally observing that input. The menu uses the escape key, so naturally it also has hold of that input. For this case, you also need to account for the fact that the menu can be closed without users …

And goodluck on your game.
