# Creating your first FNLB lobby bot

A step-by-step guide to creating your first FNLB lobby bot and inviting it to your Fortnite party.

## Import your bot's Epic Games account

Create a new Epic Games account and select **"Import your bot's Epic Games Account"** to import it into FNLB.

> **Warning:**
> Do not use your main Fortnite account! FNLB bots must be brand new accounts that no one else is using.

> **Note:**
> To get bot lobbies, your bot account must be brand new and level 1.
