Roblox (2016) is a gaming system where amateur game-makers create simple online games that often mimic real-world grown-up scenarios, like working in a pizza restaurant, surviving natural disasters, escaping prison, scuba diving or playing hide-and-seek. The library of games is fast-changing and specific games mimic the evolving rules of playground games. Playing with other children and the novelty of familiar topics make this game hugely popular.

It's the number of games on offer, wide range of experiences available and online play with other children that make this a popular video game system. There are hundreds of new games added every day that focus on every aspect of life.

The result is a playground of games where children play online with each other. Setting up your child's account appropriately is important and it's a good idea to play together as they get started.
