Roblox
User-created games hub
Roblox is an online platform where users play and create games, popular especially among children and teenagers.
The platform hosts millions of user-generated games across genres—obstacle courses, role-playing games, simulations.
Its blocky visual style and in-game currency (Robux) are distinctive.
