Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation that allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox’s history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8]

Roblox is free to play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called Robux. As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, including more than half of all American children under 16.[9][10]

Although Roblox has received generally positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, microtransactions, and alleged exploitative practices directed toward children.

What is Roblox? Why is everyone talking about Roblox?

WHAT IS ROBLOX?

Roblox is an online platform and storefront where users go to play games. Roblox is not a game, it is a place where people play games made by other developers. In this sense, it is more similar to PC platform Steam than it is to any online children’s game.

What makes Roblox different from anything else in the games industry — including a storefront like Steam — is that all the games are made by its users. On Roblox, the fun doesn’t just come from playing games, it also comes from making games. These games are not formally developed by Roblox Corporation, but by users of the platform. Currently, the official website boasts that its users have published over 20 million games on the platform.

Fully Managed Infrastructure

Roblox’s proprietary, fully-managed cloud software and infrastructure removes complexity from multi-player gameplay, game updates, scaling, matchmaking, and monetization.

IS ROBLOX SAFE FOR KIDS?

Common Sense Media rates the platform OK for users 13+ “based on continuing challenges with problematic content, but it’s potentially OK for kids younger than that if account restrictions are turned on and parents pay close attention to their kids’ activities on the platform.”

Roblox notes that the platform was designed for kids and teens from the beginning and they’re committed to making safety a priority. “We have a responsibility to make sure our players can learn, create, and play safely,” notes Tami Bhaumik, VP of Digital Civility, Roblox. “This continues to be our most important priority and that will never change.”

She adds that the company has a human review team monitoring for safety in multiple languages and keeping an eye out for chat behavior that clearly indicates an attempt to bring a player off our platform to other, less restrictive third-party chat apps, and for users under 13, filters are even stricter, such as blocking all use of numbers and potentially personal identifiable information. The platform also do not allow the sending of images or video via chat or one-to-one user interactions.

You can also stay on top of what Roblox is doing to evolve their safety system via regular updates and their Parents Guide.

Roblox is a safe gaming platform for kids when parents take the recommendations from our experts seriously. Making it a rule that kids play Roblox in a shared family space where you can supervise their activity is the best way to ensure their safety.
