Synopsis: A soft and slow paced game set in a world known as Adoption Island, Adopt Me! it’s a stark contrast to the games we’ve listed so far (e.g. Jailbreak and Theme Park Tycoon 2). As the name suggests, you can adopt pets, customize houses to live in, and explore the whimsical island when you can. The goal is to make sure all the animals you’ve rescued get enough TLC.

How Roblox can be dangerous for children
There are many ways that Roblox can be potentially dangerous for children if you don’t control the use of the game.
- Social interaction with strangers – now, you might think that social interaction in an online game can’t be that bad. After all, your child will meet new friends and meet existing ones. That’s great, but sometimes these interactions can lead to unwanted events. Many scammers, predators and others try to take advantage of the ingenuity that some children still have when playing these games.
- In-game currency: Robux, the in-game currency of Roblox, is used to purchase customization items and other types of in-game features. More than $1.5 billion has been spent on Robux through 2020, and spending is only increasing. The need to spend real money on Robux is amplified by influencers and YouTubers who brag about spending thousands of dollars on Robux to get some in-game advantage. And children are more likely to spend Robux, so you’ll want to strictly monitor your child’s spending on Roblox.
- Addictive nature: Roblox is addictive. We get messages all the time from concerned parents complaining about how much their kids play Roblox. It’s easy to get sucked into the game for hours on end as there is never-ending novelty. There is always something new happening within the game.
- Content Inappropriate for Underage Children: Some of the game content is not suitable for children under the age of 16. This could be mainly due to the sexually explicit nature of the content. While the game is intended for children over the age of 13, many types of content are not suitable for children.
- Bullying and toxic nature of the game – finally, we have to mention the possibility of bullying in Roblox as well. Children are bullied in games like Roblox, so you should report bullying immediately if you see it.

Through their customizable avatars, Roblox players are immersed in colorful and dynamic 3-D virtual worlds and experiences that they can explore and navigate via touch screens, game controllers, or keyboard strokes and mouse clicks, just like any other video game.
