This weeks Wake Up Wednesday guide looks at what parents/carers need to know about Roblox.
Roblox is one of the most popular video games on the market. By 2020, the game’s makers were claiming that more than half of children in the USA were playing it. As a ‘sandbox’ title, Roblox offers a huge amount of creative freedom: it lets players create their own gaming experiences with the Roblox Studio to build custom levels and games, which can then be shared with other players online. Roblox fosters creative thinking and enjoys a robust online community of fans.
Roblox comes with a number of risks, including contact with strangers, public servers, online daters and in-app purchases.
