Robloxis not so much a video game as a platform: one where young creators are encouraged to use in-built tools to develop their own gaming experiences, and then share them with other Roblox users. With literally millions of mostly user-created games to choose from, finding good experiences can be a daunting task, so we’ve put together a list of the best Roblox games you can jump straight in to right now.

The best Roblox games:
Welcome to Bloxburg
The nameWelcome to Bloxburgsets an appropriate tone: this is a really good starting point if you’re brand-new to Roblox. This town-and-city themed sandbox social sim has been around since 2014 and has absolutely nailed the no-goal-orientation formula. Explore Bloxburg with your Roblox avatar, build and decorate your dream home, find your character a job, or just chill out and enjoy the scenery. And with server sizes capped at 12 players, this is a good experience for dipping a toe into the social side of Roblox without getting overwhelmed.
Adopt Me!
Adopt Me!is a roleplaying game ostensibly about parents and their adopted children, but the real focus of the game these days is on collectible pets. At this point the roster of pets has expanded far beyond the cute mainstream of dogs and cats, and you can now adopt almost any animal your heart desires — up to and including sea creatures as part of the game’s partnership with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation charity.
Work at a Pizza Place

This is a classic social sim with one key difference: instead of choosing your character’s job, you and other players in the server roleplay as a group of colleagues who work at the titular pizza place. You’ll need to work together to keep the place running smoothly and make your customers happy. Do an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay and at the end of it your character can go home and upgrade their house with nicer furniture and other personalised improvements. And, naturally, you can also get an adorable pet to follow you around.
Murder Mystery 2

Fans of social deduction games will be familiar with the basic concept. Each round players are secretly assigned a role: either Murderer, Sheriff, or Innocent. The Murderer aims to eliminate Innocents and evade the Sheriff; the Sheriff aims to take down the Murderer; and up to ten Innocents try to evade the Murderer and aid the Sheriff.
There are a lot of games of this type doing the rounds these days, but Murder Mystery 2 has been at it for a long time, and this pedigree shows. It’s a genuinely engaging experience that can give Among Us a run for its money in terms of tense social stand-offs and unexpected moments of hilarity.
Flee the Facility

Gameplay-wise it’s a case of evading various monsters as you unlock exits, with the eventual aim of (you guessed it) fleeing the creepy research facility! It’s a bit of a greatest-hits trip through all the biggest horror game tropes of the past few years, and has obviously been designed with a lot of love for the genre.
Sonic Speed Simulator
This experience basically does what it says on the tin, in terms of bringing an official Sonic the Hedgehog game to the Roblox platform. There are a few Roblox-ified twists, though, such as the continuous upgrading of your character’s abilities via XP gained from collecting Chaos Orbs. That and you’ll initially be playing as your Roblox avatar rather than the blue erinaceinae himself; although one of the perks of playing Sonic Speed Simulator is unlocking familiar skins to let you cosplay your favourite characters.
Royale High

There are quite a few games on Roblox that have either spawned their own tie-in toy line or feel like they ought to have. Disappointingly,Royale Highdoesn’t have its own doll series (yet), but the aesthetic and gameplay is on-point for fans of Barbie, Bratz, Monster High, or Lego Friends.
With a regular calendar of updates, including seasonal events and frequent new mini games, Royale High goes far beyond its initial dress-up premise and is surprisingly easy to sink a lot of time into.
Jailbreak
If you can picture a family-friendly version ofGrand Theft Auto Online, you’re surprisingly close to an accurate idea of whatJailbreakis all about. Players can align themselves either with Team Cop or Team Robber, but this goes far beyond a playground classic. Robbers can go on heists, cops can perform raids, and either way there are swanky apartments to fill up with the proceeds of your ill-gotten loot.
Jailbreak has been around since 2017, and quickly gained such popularity that it became one of the first Roblox experiences to get its own toy and merch line. The creative team Badimo used the proceeds from those tie-ins to put themselves through college while keeping the core experience free-to-play, which is maybe one of the most heartwarming Roblox stories I’ve ever heard.
Piggy
Brookhaven RP
Like many popular Roblox games, Brookhaven RP is classed under the “Town & City” genre: a Sims-like game that combines customisable building systems withslice-of-life RPGgameplay. Unlike many others of its type, Brookhaven RP encourages players to jettison the platform’s cutesy stylings and focus on building a luxurious life for their avatars. In other words, it’s a bit more grown-up than other RPGs on the platform; although watch out for some of the site’s pricier microtransactions if you decide to check this one out.
Hide and Seek Extreme

The charming game maps are all based around giant-sized versions of everyday domestic locations like kitchens, living rooms, and tool sheds. The whole game just looks really nice and is great, simple fun to play with a few friends.
