Beginner's Guide to Roblox

General idea of Roblox

Roblox is a lego styled game, of which is one of the most addicting games. Roblox is mostly played by the age group of 7-16 (apart from youtubers like: Tofuu, Ant, Poke and others, which are playing this even when they're older.)

So if you do end up starting to play Roblox, I hope this little beginner's guide can help you for an extra boost!

Playing a game

When you first get Roblox, you will see your username, and some recommended games. You might see a game called 'Lumber Tycoon 2', which in that case is a really good game to start on. Click the game, then press the green play button. Once you join the game, there should be a tutorial on how to play the game. WASD or arrow keys are a way of movement like most games. Click and hold right-click, then move your mouse around to change your camera view.

Virtual Currency

Roblox has it's own in-game currency. Robux (as of April 14th 2016) is the name of the in-game currency, and is the only type of currency. You might see some games with stuff like money, but Robux is the only official currency by Roblox. You can by Robux with money, or giftcards, which you can find in Target, Walmart, Wallgreens and other stores. Places like Gamehag for instance, gives away free Robux if you work for it. Roblox also has something called Roblox Premium, (as of September 23rd 2019) where you get a certain amount of Robux each month, depending on what level of Premium you buy.

Avatar, Catalog & more

If you obtained Robux in some way, then there is a catalog in Roblox where you can buy things to customize your character. If you have gone on some sort of shopping spree, then you can press 'Avatar'. It will then take you to your character, which is fully customizable with the things you've bought in the catalog. How ever you customize you character, is how you will appear in most games. If you don't have Robux, no need to worry. The catalog has a ton of free items if you look down on the bottom left, then there will be a price limiting device, then just press free. It will then show you all the free items in Roblox that don't require Robux, or anything else.

Chatting

Roblox, like many other games, has a way to communicate with the other players. But Roblox also has a filter system which turns numbers and swears or any graphic content, into '#'. But don't worry, there is no way to send pictures on Roblox chat. The only way to send anything explicit, or mature, is via a chatting app. Which in that case, is the chatting app's fault. Because even if they are Roblox players, it is the chatting app that should have moderation seeing as Roblox has no control over that.
