With millions of experiences on the platform, a game's player count says little about whether it suits a particular child. These five questions help you decide in a few minutes.

What does the game ask you to do?

Trading and collection games, competitive shooters and roleplay worlds create very different social situations. Read the description and play a short session yourself.

Who can your child talk to?

Check whether chat is on in that game. Social and roleplay worlds usually involve more contact with strangers than single-goal games.

Does it push spending?

Many games sell boosts, passes and limited items. Notice how often purchase prompts appear.

How long does a session last?

Some games reward long sessions with daily rewards and timers. Agree on a time limit before starting.

What does your child want from it?

Ask. A child who wants to build needs a different game from one who wants to compete or hang out with friends.

Check the source. Roblox changes its settings often. Confirm details in the official Roblox Help Center before relying on them.
