For parents: ROBLOX is a gaming company, but we don’t make games…

On ROBLOX, our players make the games!

Each player gets an avatar and a place to build in 3D with infinite blocks. Their places are uploaded and played by others (like videos on YouTube). Players customize avatars with accessories, like sunglasses, baseball caps, fedoras, helmets and knight’s swords. Social components contribute to strong community.

We are excited to meet our awesome players!

We’re continuing to add more and more fun stuff to the Rally but here is what we have lined up so far…
