Is Roblox Safe for Kids?
Hugely popular and genuinely creative, but it is an open platform where kids can chat with strangers and stumble into inappropriate user-made games. Safe with the right account settings and a parent paying attention.
What is Roblox?
Roblox is a platform of millions of user-created games where kids play, build, and chat. The creativity is real, and so is the fact that anyone can publish a game or send a message.
The real risks
- Chat with strangers, which has been used for grooming.
- Inappropriate user-generated games that slip past moderation.
- Pressure to spend on Robux, the in-game currency.
What parents can do
- Turn on Roblox parental controls and account restrictions, and set an age for your child in account settings.
- Disable or limit chat for younger kids, and keep play in shared spaces.
- Block clearly harmful content at the network level so the worst never loads.

Common questions
Roblox is used by kids of all ages, but younger children need chat limited and account restrictions on. With those settings and supervision it can be reasonable from around 8 to 10.
Yes, unless you restrict chat. Use the parental controls to limit or disable chat for younger children.
