What is Roblox and why won't my kids stop talking about it? A gaming expert explains Roblox Bedwars Quiz

Whether your kid is asking if they can "buy more Robux" or begging you to check out their avatar's latest outfit, there's one thing most parents of kids who play Roblox have in common: We don't know exactly what our kids are doing on the online gaming platform.

But one thing we do know is that Roblox keeps growing in popularity. According to a recently-released 2021 data report, Roblox reports last year its online community grew from over 30 million daily users to 50 million ... across 180 countries. And, slightly over half of the Roblox community roblox bedwars quiz is 13 or older, meaning kids and teens make up the bulk of the platform's daily users.

Megan Letter, also known as YouTube gaming sensation MeganPlays, describes Roblox as, "a hub of thousands and thousands and thousands of games and experiences which are all created by user-generated content," meaning it's not a single game like Minecraft or Pokémon Go, but more like a virtual version of a gaming system like Xbox or Playstation.

"Basically, Roblox is a website, hub and app that you emerald 2 Roblox Was much Robux in cost emeralds armor 1 it How Much Quiz a is 3 Roblox How Roblox Bedwars Bedwars battlepass to When can use to access millions of experiences," Letter tells Yahoo Life. "There's an endless amount Kits Bedwars Quiz Roblox By MISTERDUDETHEBOI [of games] because anybody can make them and anybody can get involved in them.

But if Roblox is free, why are kids always asking to buy "Robux," the game's currency? Letter says those purchases are optional and only enhance kids' gameplay through things like clothing to dress up their avatar — the character that represents them in the Roblox platform — or in-game perks.

Games within Roblox range from role-playing games, where players take on an action or role, to tycoon games, where players complete simulated real-world activities to earn money within the game. There are action games, which focus on fighting and survival, games that simulate obstacle courses (called "obbys") and simulator games, which involve collecting unknowncheats roblox certain items or clicking objects within the game repeatedly.

And, the games are most often played together in virtual groups.

Can my kids talk to other people in Roblox?

Curious if your kid Player What ProProfs You Are Bedwars Quiz Of Kind Roblox Weapons Quiz Melee BedWars is making online friends in the game? The short answer is yes, they are.

Letter explains that in each game, players can chat with one another, provided a parent has enabled those settings, even connecting with friends and relatives from the real world in-game. She also adds that for the most part, Roblox is about being friendly and coming together as a community to enjoy an experience.

"What I like about Roblox is they have two types of profiles: They have above 13 and under 13," Letter says. "With [under 13 profiles] you can turn on parental controls, turn off entire chats, make it where nobody can talk to your child or whatever you're comfortable with."

Laura Higgins, Roblox's director of community safety and civility, says Roblox works to filter inappropriate chat content like discriminatory speech, bullying, extremism, violence and sexual content, as well as the exchange of personal information or invitations to move communication off of the Roblox platform.

"We update our filters continuously, multiple times a day," says Higgins. "For users under 13, our filters are even stricter and include any potentially identifiable personal information, slang and more. In order for us to maintain a safe platform and prevent inappropriate content in violation of our policies, users are also not able to exchange images or videos via chat or one-to-one user interactions on Roblox."

"With our parental controls and features such as 'Account Restrictions,' parents and caregivers have the option to limit chat to a curated list of contacts for their kids' accounts, or turn it off altogether," she adds.

When it comes to chatting, "people are really nice and helpful in these games," Letter says of the Roblox community.

And she's not wrong. On an hour-long tour through Roblox with Letter, I only saw positive interactions: Other avatars inviting her to play with them or offering to teach her how to do things in games where she was a novice.

You can't even say 'honey,' and even if you try to type in your age or any numbers, it won't let you. There's a lot that you can do to protect yourself."
