catch up with me

Say I'm talking with my friend on an online game website. I want to say "I'm going to leave this room and move to other room, so follow me"


"Hey, I'll leave first, and you catch up with me, okay?"

"Hey, I'll leave first, and you come with me, okay?"

"Hey, I'll leave first, and you come on up, okay?"

"Hey, I'll leave first, and you come follow me, okay?"



Can you tell me if they are okay and sound colloquial? Can you correct them?

And please let me know some other ways of saying this.

Hi, 'Leave' is less colloquial than 'go'. I suggest 'Let's go to the other room. I'll see you there'.

Sorry to bother you, but I need to clear this one more thing.

It was meant to mean my friend will join the room I go in first by clicking a button that will lead him to get there.

So if I want to express this idea, I'll go to the other room first so you ___ ??

Does "follow me" work there?

I don't think "catch me" is natural. Please give another option that migh

In that situation, 'follow me' is fine.
