but we don’t make games…
On ROBLOX, the players make the games!
• Each player gets an avatar and a place to build in 3D with infinite blocks and
scripting capabilities
• 3D creations are uploaded and played by others (like videos on YouTube)
• Personalized avatars with accessories, like fedoras, helmets and knight’s swords
This place was made by a kid! This place was made by a kid!
