The Review

Written by Parent Guide Plus Editors

Roblox is a gaming platform where users can play and create millions of user-generated games. Parental guidance is essential: the quality and content varies enormously between games, from wholesome obstacle courses to games with violence, horror elements, and inappropriate themes. The chat system can expose kids to strangers, bullying, and inappropriate language. Roblox has parental controls including PIN-protected spending limits, account restrictions, and content filtering, but these require setup. The platform has an in-game currency (Robux) that costs real money, which can lead to unwanted spending if not monitored.
