What is Roblox and what's special about it?

The concept of Roblox is something very special, as it is more than just a game for kids. It is a kind of MMO, that is, massively multiplayer online. In it, apart from solving mini-games, you'll be able to build a network with other players and shape the world. Roblox offers various content for children.

• Roblox is aimed at a young target group. The majority of all players are 13 years old or younger.
• The visuals are designed accordingly. The game characters resemble LEGO figures, the worlds are bright and colorful, similar to Minecraft.
• While Roblox is not a game in the strict sense. It is a platform on which games can be created entirely without programming skills. This results in an offer of many millions of games, which are known and popular in different ways.
• As a result, a large market has arisen around Roblox, in which numerous developers, but also designers and artists are active.
• The game has included in-app purchases for some time. In these, you get the game currency "Robux", which you can use for the various mini-games. If you want to prevent your child from buying them unintentionally, then you can disable the purchases via the settings.
