What is roblox: Roblox is a game for anyone! Roblox is an app that you can play with friends and family. In Roblox there are multiple games like Adopt me (Adopt me is when you adopt a kid or a pet and you can trade things with other people in the game) or Royal High ( Royal High is a game when you trade stuff with people or teleport to islands or go to school and roleplay) and more fun games. When you play roblox there’s a thing called robux. Robux is a thing you can use to get things but, you can only get those things if you have robux and if you want to get robux you have to pay to get it. Why kids should play roblox if they want: Kids should play roblox if they want because Roblox taught me so much. Like when I'm playing Adopt me. There are these people who scam people to get what they want from them. So the creator who made Adopt me made a quick in the game to know what and how you know if they are trying to scam you so Adopt me taught me to never trust random people. |
