For those unfamiliar, Roblox acts as a sort of sandbox game creation platform where players can either create games or play the creations of others. It has been especially popular among children thanks to how accessible it is, and the Roblox Corporation has capitalized on this, gearing the product towards kids even more.

For the most part, Roblox provides a great creative outlet for kids, so it is no wonder that over half of all kids 16 and under play it, but like any online game it has its dangers. Earlier this month it was discovered that Roblox hackers were spreading Trump propaganda, for example.

Roblox is available now on Mobile, PC, and Xbox One.
