I allowed my daughter to play Roblox in 2020 during the COVID-19 stay at home era. At that time, she played Bloxburg and learned how to build homes and connect with her friends.

Roblox allows users to upload games and creations for others to download and play. And there are many experiences on the platform which can prove a minefield for parents.

They're probably on Roblox, playing "Grow a Garden," which, as I typed this Thursday, had more than 2.2 million people playing — four times as many as the next most popular game.

Roblox allows users to create and play games together. It's a way to connect, in real time, with other people in a digital world.
