👋 Roblox: A Parent’s Guide for 5–12 Year Olds

Helping you understand the platform, risks, and how to set up safe play

🎮 What is Roblox?

Roblox is a massively popular online platform where users can play and create games. It’s used by over 70 million people every day, and most of them are children aged 5–16.

But here’s the key thing:

Roblox is not a single game — it’s a library of millions of user-created games (called experiences) in one app.

🧩 Popular Roblox games include:

• 🏡 Brookhaven – a virtual world for roleplay (like digital dolls' house)
• 👑 Royal High – a magical princess roleplay game
• 🚓 Jailbreak – cops and robbers with car chases
• 🛠️ Obbies – obstacle courses and platform challenges
• 🐶 Adopt Me – collect and care for pets
• ⚔️ Many more – new ones appear daily!

⚙️ Roblox Parental Controls: What You Need to Know

Roblox offers some parental controls, but they require manual setup. Here's what to look out for:

• ❌ Default settings are not child-friendly

  You must adjust privacy and content filters yourself.

• 💬 Chat is on by default

  Children can message or be contacted by strangers unless you change it.

• 🚫 Game content is user-made

  Quality and age-appropriateness vary. Some games contain scary or inappropriate themes.
