Roblox is a free online gaming platform that allows users to build their own virtual worlds.
It allows users to play games created by themselves or others.
Once signed up, users can play an infinite number of games and chat with other users while appearing as in-game ‘avatars’.
However, it is criticized as a dangerous place for children due to exposure to inappropriate content.
If users want to upgrade their avatar or get other special upgrades, they have to spend real money on Robux, the in-game currency.
