Question about how exactly Experimental Mode restricts users?

This is just a concept question. So, Experimental Mode supposedly prevents users under the age of thirteen from playing games in Experimental Mode. I've got a game where the main place has FilteringEnabled, but it also teleports the player to a singleplayer place that's in Experimental Mode. Would a player under the age of thirteen be able to be teleported into the Experimental Mode place?

Probably. I've seen this discussed before but there was no answer. You should use EM though, exploiters will be able to hack your places without it. Viking359 161 — 7y

"To incentivize this change, experimental mode games will only be visible to users over 13 on the front games page, while all other games will be visible to all ages on the games page." and "Shortly after this, we will be prioritizing non-experimental mode games (f.k.a. Filtering Enabled games) in search results to users under 13.", [source](https://devforum.roblox.com/t/the-future-of-filtering-enabled-experimental-mode/43613]. In other words, users under 13 will not be prevented from playing, they just are much less likely to find it.

Elsewhere I came across the information that in any universe, if any of the games within it are "Experimental Mode", the whole thing is considered Experimental Mode. Therefore, you should update your Experimental Mode place to use FilteringEnabled, or else users under 13 won't see your universe at all (even though most of it uses FilteringEnabled).
