If you've spent enough time on the internet, you may have come across a little game called Roblox. Roblox is a massively popular online game platform and game creation system that allows users to program their own games and share them with others. It's a huge hit with younger gamers and has been played by at least half of all children in the United States under the age of 16 — That's pretty impressive.

Roblox is available on the PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Xbox One. If you're curious about the game and you want to get in on the fun, you'll have to download it for yourself. As of now, there's no way to play Roblox without downloading.

As of this writing, there's no way to play Roblox within your browser window. You'll have to make space and download it onto the device you'd like to play it on.

Click on the play button on any of the games and you'll be prompted to download the Roblox Player. Once the download is complete, the game will start. Now that the Roblox Player is installed, you can jump into any game you want to from your profile on Roblox.com.

It's also one of the best free to play games and is a great introduction to coding, and an even better way to keep kids connected with their friends. It's easy to see why it's one of the best games for kids on any platform.
