Social space, originally called practice mode, is a feature for servers where people can practice and explore the map, meaning there will be no Nextbots and no events. This mode is also good for finding secrets easily. 
It was released on January 13th, 2023, along with another mode called Voice Only Servers. Within the social space, your time alive will be frozen no matter where you are.

Once you join in social space, you will spawn in the arcade lobby and there you will vote a map but unlike the process of arcade, you get 5 seconds of preparation after you spawn in your desired map instead of 20 seconds and no nextbots will spawn. No events and custom nextbots can be bought in this mode. After 5 seconds of preparation, the round will have 10 minutes of socializing (you can modify this in your private server), donating using a tip jar or anything else.
All of the maps in social space where used as Arcade instead of Open World, including nn_russia (spring) which can now be used as social space exclusive now.
These are the quotes that can be found after 5 seconds of preparation:
*"no more nextbots!"
*"chill."
*"socialize."
*"explore."
*"relax."
*"talk about stuff and things"
*"so peaceful."
*"the ambience of mother nature."

While in Social Space, the maps will be in daytime. No events and custom nextbots can be bought in this mode. Also, music plays in the background, with a set playlist of the game OST, moving on to the next song once the current song finishes. When it moves on to the next song, it will show in the bottom right: "NOW PLAYING: [song name] - [artist]". Sometimes it doesn't show an artist however.450px This happens when the "8/12 theme" and "moomart (cootie) theme" comes up, only showing the name and not an artist. You can only spawn in nn_mall and nn_russia, teleporting into other maps like nn_backrooms and NN port don't work.
A status in the bottom right will always be present too, which reads: "you are in a SOCIAL SPACE".450px What this status does is basically freeze your time alive no matter where you are, and also allows you to go to the main menu by pressing M or through the Leaderboard anywhere.

==Trivia==
*While Social Space and Voice Chat Only Servers were locked in the main game as they were still going under construction, social space was originally called practice mode.
* nn_backrooms was previously accessible through a glitch on nn_mall, however the backrooms map has been removed.
** If you accidentally glitch off the map and fall into the void, you would not teleport back to the backrooms as you would on other modes.
*Some barriers next to the street in nn_russia that are in the main game are removed, to let players explore more.450px Some easter eggs that can be found because of this are listed below. 
**There is a sword that can be found stuck behind some rocks that is normally inaccessible to players in the main game because of the barriers, but are now removed because of social space. (Rocks)450px
**There is also a small block with text above it saying "Nico's Textbox", a parody of the game name, which is usually inaccessible to players in the main game because of the barriers. It can be found in a small building near the rocks where the sword is found in. (Textbox Room) 450px
*Any nearby radios in the maps, including the music in Cyberia and Nico's Club, automatically fade out the main music and lets the radio music play when you get near it. Upon getting far away from the radio, is when the main playlist will fade in.
*All safezones are disabled, including the music and status.
**All switches to open/close gates in nn_mall are also disabled. The proximity interaction panel is still there, but nothing happens once you try to interact.
*The nn_bigcity decal in nn_russia, that can usually be found as an easter egg in the main game at the end of a street, is removed.450px
**As of March 7th 2023, the nn_bigcity decal easter egg in nn_russia is back.
*The snow, that can be found in the main game as of 11/02/2023, is removed from nn_russia, reverting the ground from snow to grass, before the Christmas update that also involved The real roblox santa as the seasonal nextbot.
*There is a message that pops up when you try to buy an event. The message will say: ERROR: you're in a social space. Duh.. (See in the Quotes)
