Roblox is a free massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) virtual playground and workshop designed for children aged 6 and over. The game is made up of building bricks of various shapes and sizes. Roblox has no pre-defined goals, unlike some games.[1] Players could build anything such as houses, churches, cities, swimming pools, and more and share them to the Roblox community. Roblox users can program the places they create with a simplified version of Lua 5.1. Roblox is part of the TRUSTe privacy program and the Better Business Bureau as a rating of A.

Places
Players in Roblox have the ability to construct up to one place with a regular account, ten with Builders Club, twenty five with Turbo Builders Club, and 100 with Outrageous Builders Club, out of an unlimited supply of virtual building blocks. These blocks can be customized to each players liking. Every user starts out with a home of their own where they can customize it using materials such as bricks, scripts, and other user created models.

Avatars
Players in Roblox are given an avatar, which is used by the player when visiting each virtual world, that they can customize with new hats, heads, clothes, faces, and gear. All of these are available to purchase with Roblox's two virtual currencies, in the Catalog.

Badges
Roblox provides users with achievement awards called badges. For example, Roblox has three combat badges that are awarded to users with high amounts of lifetime Knockouts. There is also 3 Builder's Club badges, one for each type of Builder's Club, given to the player when they join the premium paid service. There are a total of 15 badges available to users. On August 13, 2009, Roblox allowed users to create their own badges that they put in their game that others could work on getting, or even as a freebie.

The Catalog
The Catalog is where players purchase and sell creations for Tickets and Robux. When selling, there is a 10% sales tax, so 10% of the money it is sold for goes to the virtual economy, and 90% goes to the seller; for example, selling a shirt for 10 Tickets will give the seller 9 tickets. Some items, such as hats, can also be bought but can only be uploaded by an administrator. However, players can now sell limited edition hats for Robux and get 75% of the sale.. On May 8, 2009, gear was introduced. This introduced weapons, boosters, etc. that the player could bring to the game. On June 3 2009, players were allowed to specify which types of gear would be allowed in their place.
