Millions of games.

Roblox is not one game. It is a platform, like an app store, and the games on it are called experiences. Each one is built by a different creator, sometimes a studio, sometimes one teenager, with its own rules, its own shop, its own timers, and its own crowd. So when your child says they are “playing Roblox,” the useful question is which experience.

Roblox gives every experience a maturity label (Minimal, Mild, Moderate, or Restricted) and it is worth reading. But it only describes content: how much violence, fear, or blood a child might see. It says nothing about random-chance boxes, timers built to pull a child back, how many strangers share a server, or who made it. A report starts with the label and then covers the six things it leaves out.

Two places, in this order. First, Roblox itself, read by machine the moment you search: the experience’s own listing, everything its shop sells with the price in Robux and dollars, its badges, and whether private servers are running. Those are facts, not opinions, and they are pulled fresh every time.

Second, research on approved sources only: Roblox’s help pages for what your parental controls actually reach, regulators such as the FTC and state attorneys general for complaints, and established press. We never cite fan wikis, Discord, or YouTube comments. Anything we cannot confirm is labeled unknown rather than guessed.

Yes, and it draws a line that matters. Earning coins by playing and spending them on gear inside the game is a normal game mechanic, and the report says so calmly. Real money is different. Every report lists exactly what real money buys (a shortcut, a look, an edge over other players, or a random result) and rates how much paying matters: Optional, Advantage, or Required. Dollar figures are always “about,” because Roblox sells Robux in packs and can change the prices.

Partly, and the report tells you which part. From a linked parent account you can cap monthly spending, require approval for purchases, set a daily time limit, restrict chat, and block this specific experience outright. What no Roblox setting reaches is anything the creator built themselves, such as an in-game trading system or in-game chat, or anything that happens off Roblox, like a Discord server. Every report sorts this experience’s features into those two piles.

$1.99 covers the cost of running real research on the experience (pulling its live data from Roblox, then searching Roblox’s own documentation, regulators, and press) without turning this into a subscription you have to remember to cancel. It also covers card processing fees, which take a surprisingly large bite out of a payment this small, and the occasional report that doesn’t finish, which is refunded automatically. You pay once, you get a full report, that’s it. Ten reports a day on one device, so nobody can hammer the system.

You don’t have to take our word for what you get. Download a complete sample report (free, no signup) and decide for yourself before spending anything.

You keep the link, and the link keeps up! But not on its own, so it's worth knowing exactly what it does. Your emailed receipt carries a permanent link to your report, with no account to create and no password to forget. What it opens is the most recent research anyone has run for that experience, rather than a frozen copy of your own.

A report only refreshes when somebody actually requests a new one. For an experience lots of parents are searching, that happens regularly and someone else's request quietly brings your link up to date at no cost to you. For one few people ask about, your link may show the same research for a long time. That's why every report is stamped with the date it was researched, at the top under the title. Check that date against how long your child has been playing: if an experience has had a big update since, running a fresh report is another $1.99, and it updates the link for everyone. And if you'd rather keep one particular version exactly as it was on the day you read it, every report has a Print or Save PDF button.

Parents, guardians, and anyone helping a kid navigate a Roblox experience they don’t know much about yet. You don’t need to be a gamer yourself; every report is written in plain language on purpose.

We love video games and are advocates for play, but we’re also realists about the modern tech industry. We want to move the household conversation beyond “Ban them all” or “It’s just a game.” Because most online information is either marketing or angry forum arguments, we provide sourced, specific data so parents can make real decisions about screen time, and kids can play the game instead of letting the game play them.

That’s our other site. Video Game Minimap reports on games in their own right: Minecraft, Fortnite, Mario Kart, anything on a console, PC, or phone. Same research rules, same plain language, same $1.99. This site exists because Roblox is different: one app, millions of games, and a label that covers the app rather than the game.

No. We don’t sell data, and we don’t need much from you to begin with, just the name of the experience you’re asking about. See the Privacy page for the specifics.
