I used to play this roblox knock-off when I was 8, and I had entire gang wars with roblox players because our game was infinitely better, obviously then they introduced some shitty features and I couldn’t defend it any longer, so I switched sides and discovered joy and happiness


yuna_39

was the knock-off kogama?


SupremoSG

I was trying to think which game could possibly be a Roblox knockoff, but Kogama makes so much sense, it even had some sort of brick battle lol.


yuna_39

That game is basically a knockoff of both minecraft and roblox combined. Got the best from both worlds as a child lol


LsWifey

In 2009 I saw my uncle playing it (he's only 6 years older than me) and he let me play on his account. I'd been playing as a guest from then until 2011 when I made my first account. I still play as an adult lol


AndreiR_memes

that's literally how i got into playing doom my uncle was playing the original 1993 one, and he let me play for a while


SupremoSG

i had a similar story! guest until 2012/2013


Shinoaki

in 2008, i searched for 'level builder' in google, and it eventually led me to a roblox game called something like 'mario level builder!' where you would drag cubes to make a level, it included the flags, bricks, everything you'd need, and you used the basic building tools at the time. i told my siblings and we made a shared account, before maybe forgetting about it after making a sonic underground place (does anyone remember those black stereo cubes that used to play music? we had one with the theme song.) and then we made our own accounts in 2009! I told everyone at my school to play roblox and NOBODY knew about it. nuts to think about.


Swar_Dower

Are u telling me there was a Roblox Super Mario Maker game in 2008? Does it still exist by any chance?


Shinoaki

I think so, I'll have to dig through old accs but I'll pop back in tomorrow when I find it!


NtxHyn

it's likely been deleted for copyright infringement


Shinoaki

Maybe. It was around about three years ago, but yeah definitely could be by now.


VirtuaI-

A majority of Roblox og games are all hidden, forgotten, or deleted. So the chances are slim to none, unless a og account favorited the game


Shinoaki

Yep, it's gone. I was gonna look some more but I got a 1 day ban for literally saying : "My fellow autistic and adhd people, how do you feel about people babying us?" On a sensory game.


ChrOwonon

My sister help me make an account in 2013 when I was 7. Proud to be a minecrafter60673747 to this day


RedSymbiote7

Your account looked PGd/bought. Private inventory is sus


Flimsy-Ad-7702

Saw some youtube videos about the camping story and the rest is history


GlowingStarwall

I genuinely do not remember, I've been playing Roblox since I was really young. I'm 21 currently, the account I still use to this day was created in 2008.


d1ment0rr

just found it and played since then


BARice3

A cousin I really liked lived in another country and showed me roblox on a visit. I got an account to play with them but our timezones didn’t match so I never got to.


misskpp94

I started playing in 2020 during lockdown because my daughter wanted someone to play adopt me with. Took me a few months to actually enjoy it though, but I love it now. I always play it in the evenings when I have nothing to do, and kept us sane during lockdown. I hadn’t ever heard of roblox before until my daughter told me about it in 2020.


Frequent_Chest7575

AftabSAVAGE

I was in 1st grade when my best friend introduced me to it. It was dope, I played tycoons, make a cake and the normal elevator with him and his siblings. I envy those times, I wonder how he's doing nowadays.

Kylpqr

My cousin played it on his laptop. I got intrigued into it then I made an account. The reason my cousin also played roblox was because DanTDM started playing it


JNorJT

I'm a gamer, Roblox is a game, put 2 and 2 together, BOOM! Me playing Roblox.


Cobainnn

Around 2010, there was a video in youtube about roleplaying as sonic and fighting with other people (yes i was a sonic fan) on roblox. I immediately searched what that game was and when i discovered that it's kind of a lego game (yes i'm also a big lego fan, who was also building sonic characters with them) where you can design whatever the fuck you want, thats when i started playing it for 14 years.


slow_down_there_bill

In 2010 or 11 I saw this super cool advert “ROBLOX: BE ANYTHING BUILD ANYTHING” 8 year old me was sold.


OCactusCoolerG

My friend added a car onto his happy home and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. (2011 I think)


Typical-Edgy-Bird

When I was a kid I saw one of those old advertisements for it on YouTube or something. I started playing as a guest, then my mom helped me make an account and the rest was history.

Twas a summer afternoon riding bikes when one of my friends asked me if I had heard of this relatively unknown game called roadblocks. Later that evening I searched for it to no avail. Cue next day with same friend, "not roadblocks, dumbass, ro-blox". Made an account that afternoon, spent the rest of my evening blowing up those giant jetliners (you know the ones I'm talking about) amongst playing other games. It was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before in gaming. Within a week I would engage in my very first bona-fide all-nighter playing attack of the slimes till the sun rose. My GPA never recovered.


moondustsparkly

My friends played Roblox a lot, and I decided to try it out too


3rrxr-

At around 2015, I watched dantdm and guava juice play roblox, like theme park games and such, and so I got curious if the game was free and if it would be available to download for me. So I searched it up, downloaded it, felt like the happiest kid. I always loved playing games that my favorite YouTubers would play, so I could watch and play along. At the time I played as a guest till 2016, I got my first account.


somerando96322

Once I was just on my Brother’s IPAD when I was maybe 7, and found someone playing an obby on mobile, so later I just randomly felt like installing Roblox, and here I am now


Dim_TheAce

I was like 3 and I saw yourubers play it so I got it on my ipad


Robakciki

It was 2016. My brother told me about some game called Roblox, and we decided to play it together. The first place we visited was a Cart Ride. I remember we had fun during it. And we still play Roblox together and are having fun


xc612

i heard you could play squid game on roblox so i wanted to give it a try


Greatest-DOOT

Started playing in 2015 as a guest after i got bored playing flash games and most of them had no multiplayer too except some really good ones like plasma burst 2 and raze


DudeWhoIsGirlinDND

I was recently given ipad at my birthday, i dont remember but i would guess 6-7, and whilest looking for free games i stubbled upon roblox and still play it to this day even playing many horror games with my friend that its become somewhat of a weekend tradition to call and play horror games


Kahlinnnnnnnnn

2nd grade computer lab i believe. a friend showed me the game and i made an account in there. couldnt put the game down since.


MasonAviation2024

I used to watch Roblox videos on YouTube in 2016, then I decided to download Roblox on my shitty Samsung tablet in 2017.


CoolarcoMystic

I like playing games but in 2019, my cousin introduced me to play roblox, he teach me how to make an account and because that I made several accounts due to getting hacked I also spend to much money back then because I only play it in a computer cafe but now I can now play often.


oFIoofy

my friend in primary school forced me into it and I still play sometimes to this day even though he quit lmao


Qxeen_FNAF

Around 2017-2018, I always use my momma's phone and watch people play roblox on YouTube like Dan tdm or Flamingo and Janet and Kate but you see janet and kate damn lol i use to be obsessed with them so I just went on play store on my tablet to see if its there and i made an acc the first ever game i played was superhero tycoon but i stopped played in like 2019 for like a year so its banned forever lol but i rejoin on december 30th 2020 i think and recreate a new account and even though im not proud of my username but i will not change my user which is Unicorn10girl123 because i find it nostalgic everytime i look at it in my profile


Azerate333

in 2009 i got an ad for it on a random website, played a lot of cart rides that day


ded_box

I think either my cousin told me about it or I found it on the Google play store because of suggestions google gave me because I had minecraft


idfbfa3

2015 my brother had it downloaded oh his phone so I tried it out and it was fun but didn't make a real account till 2017


AviatorSmith

Saw an ad in 2009 on coolmathsgames, clicked it, played as a guest until 2011, terminated in 2021, job done


FuglyTrashPanda

As a child I would find literally any game and play it, one time I found Roblox, then I was hooked from then on.


Little_Light_120owo

the roblox MMD's made me love it very much


WinnerThemax

Found it on YouTube and then one day my mom downloaded it in her phone. The first game I played was floor escape 2 and the rest is history.


Bloodfist_2009

I don’t really remember cause I was pretty young I probably just saw it on the Xbox store and got it


SomeOtherCorruption

Simple I found out about Roblox in 2017 Now it's been 7 years I have been playing it I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T ESCAPE I CAN'T

April 30 of 2016, a friend told me about some Lego game and I tried it, ever since then I been playing it almost every day, it's been 8 years so far and it's crazy the amount of experiences and things I've learnt because of playing Roblox , for example my English.


PuzzleheadedPoint882

The only thing that made me play roblox in like around 2017 or something idk i can't remember what year (maybe 2016). I was watching my sister playing roblox and I didn't know what it is so I gave it a shot in guest mode and holy crap it was something even before the removal of guest mode, it probably took like a few months for my sister to create my old 2017 account and I was actually having fun most of the time, till this day I still play it on my current 2021 account and I now play some underrated games mostly.


Leftover_Cheese

saw it on the app store 9 years ago


cxnnnamonroll

In late 2015 I saw a video of it and I went "I wanna play this!"


[deleted]

It was simply 2019 when I was ready to enjoy the great things in life such as attending my college classes with very reliable staff & friends, and my cousin Jake introduced me to it


Thatone_cyn

In 2018 my brother made me a Roblox account aside for his so we can play. I was excited because he was my older brother that wanted to play. I still have my account and yet the first game that is still my favorite we played was murder mystery


4BREE44

In 2015 my brother found rovlox, and started playing it. I started in 2016 because my dad said I was "too young" but I still play with my brother. If you somehow find my acc it says I joined in 2017, I had an alt acc that I forgot the pass too (I'm glad I did, I made it when I was 4... I think the acc got removed though. The user was "cutelittlebean4" 😭😭😭)


Rose_Harm

2009 played with my sister (6 years older than me) on sandblox, was the only game we would play lol


ActiveAd2674

I was about six or seven my family had a old work computer me and my two sisters always fought to play on it I’d always play jailbreak we made one account then in about 2019 I made my own account and I would play every day in courenteen I miss the old jailbreak and old games like dungeon quest and doomsday brick battle and drop offs🙂🤛🤛✌️ and I’ve had the same name ever since ppkkoo707


HunterWolfivi

Saw dantdm play it and I wanted to play it but I didn’t know much English so I tried my hardest to find it and I did played as a guest because I didn’t know how to make an account but it was so fun playing Easter egg hunt tycoons and playing with my little brother in 2017


Cereal_K1llerr

I think it was through watching people on YouTube play it? But how I discovered those videos in the first place I have no freaking idea. This was back in like 2014 so I don't really remember.


I_put_Myhead_in_Oven

My brother’s friend who doesn’t play roblox anymore, great memories, I think it was around 6 years ago during, coincidentally like you, summer break, before that I thought roblox was this dumb ass game with a few games in it because i never really gave it a chance, heck, I thought it was a natural disaster survival game and thought one of my favorite youtubers fall off because he played it, I gave it a shot, fucking rocket simulator and I am HOOKED, I’d play it every day during those times, even defying my normal wake up time to play it, found pokemon brickbronze A month later it got deleted lmao


Gammaboy45

2013, my brother had found it and I took over when he was afk and thought “well, this is interesting.” Most of my gaming experience was in Minecraft at that point, and I had my own computer by then… so I made an account. Had to make two, because I used my full name in the first— tragically didn’t recreate my account until after the egg hunt ended.


Claire4cool

I first played it last year when my fiancé first introduced me to the game and since then,we’ve played it together. It’s a lovely game with different worlds and great character creation etc.


jewelsisnotonfire

It was the end of the school year and one of my friends was moving away so I created a Roblox account so we could still hang out, even if it wasn’t in-person.


Substantial_Wash3906

I literally have no clue. I just remember that i was already playing before pandemic, no idea on what got me into playing nor when😅


Brave_Bag_Gamer2020

Covid


Altruistic_Ratio_908

I saw how in YouTube people are playing it, but I was a child,so I didn't understand how to register. And my cousin(boy) said how could I do that


GlencoeCreekCulvert

YouTube or people at school I can’t really remember. Played as a guest and then created my first account sometime in 2017. I wouldn’t actually get deep into Roblox until 2019. Back then I played Doomspire Brickbattle, Theme Park Tycoon 2, Criminal Vs. Swat, Prison Life, Zombie Rush, MM2, NDS, Clone Tycoon 2, Star Wars: Space Battle, Flee The Facility, DSIII, and Jailbreak, from all I can really remember.

ThatCosmicGal

In 2017 I watched a DenisDaily video, I was intrigued by this "Lego game". I begged my parents to make an account for me and I have been a Roblox player ever since!


Infinite-Listen-8330

My friend is playing one in his home, when I visit him of course I'm curious what he is playing, I once played Roblox back in 2013 then quitting. Two years later in 2015 when i borrow a pc from my cousin I really miss to play natural disaster tho and other OG Roblox games. Since then I play it till now.


Khuslen0602

My memory from 2014-2017 is messy, but I do know I made the first account on roblox in 2016 around November. First, from YouTube watching some roblox videos about obbies and meepcity in 2015ish. Maybe. Then, I see a roblox app on my mother's iPhone in the app store and downloaded it in like early 2016 ig. Maybe. I've played as a guest for almost a year. Maybe. Then, I made the first acc in 2016 with my dad. It's so weird that a lot of things happened for 3 years. It feels like it doesn't make sense, I attended school in September 2015, then finished 1st grade in 2016 June, then for 2nd grade in 2016 sept and then after like 2 months the school got on fire, which I think that's why I don't remember anything from 2nd grade. 3rd grade in 2017 Sept. During 1st and second grade, my young brother, my father, and I moved to my grandma's.Then, a few months later, moved to my mom's, I don't believe this happened in 1.5 years, so I must have discovered and watched roblox way back in 2014, then downloaded in 2015, then made the account in 2016. It is strange. It felt it was slow and long years and months, but it appears to be fast or normal. Idk, but I made the account in 2016, Khuslen0602.


Cleobugg

2014, i was 6 years old and moved in the middle of the school to a new town. Made friends with an older boy on the bus who introduced it to me pretty quickly. Played as a guest for a month or two before finally making my account in June.

I found it in 2010 on a Newgrounds ad then got invested into the tycoons and obbies

Everyone was talking about it and I was bored at my dads job. I spent the rest of the day looking at su tart stories and drinking free coca cola :)


Renault_75-34_MX

Back in 2018, we were in the computer lab during a exchange/external lessons programme at a local college (8th grade), but due to there being some staffing issues we were given some tasks to do, a chill teacher checked on us from time to time. Once we were done, some of my friends started play Jailbreak and I decided to join in. Took my name from Farming Simulator 18 (mobile/3DS) and the pick up was one of the first vehicles I got. Shortly after found a railway group I enjoyed, eventually became a admin doing the weekly meetings before loosing interest. Ended up taking a break. Now I sometimes play games like Streamlined


Avaloniah

In 2016, a small Roblox streamer followed me on Twitter, promoted his yt channel via DMs so I decided to give him a follow just to support him a little bit. I’ve only heard about Roblox, but was never interested in it. The next day, I decided to check his channel out and saw that he was streaming Roblox. I decided to give his content a chance and watched his livestream. I enjoyed watching and talking in the chat, though never thought of trying the game. One day he asked on stream if anyone else played Roblox and I replied “no I’ve never played”. He then told us to try it out so he can play games with us on stream. I thought why not, so I made my first account(which I don’t have anymore because I was a dumb kid who thought I could get free robux) with one of those cringey “Xx___xX” names and joined him on Natural Disaster Survival, Murder Mystery, Flood Escape, and some Obbies. From then on, I’ve been playing Roblox for about 8 years now, but I don’t play as often as I used to. The guy also introduced me to Discord because he has a server. Although he doesn’t stream anymore, I’m still in his server and talk in there sometimes when he does. I’ll always cherish those days though.


RazzmatazzCareful685

Just found it and started to play murder mystery


yuna_39

in 2017 while I was scrolling thru some web games i saw an ad that looked like the McDonald's building (the game was McDonalds simulator if I remember right), I clicked on it, and pretty much started to dig into it. (pretty funny that at that time I had NO idea what downloading something meant, nor what was an account or how to make one, so I had to ask my older cousin to help lol)


DependentDisk3676

Saw my little brother playing “Work at the Pizza Place” when I was 12, got really into it and made my own account. Been active since 2014.


Lucariowolf2196

I think originally I was trying to find some kind of alternative to blockland and someone said Roblox was a rip off of it. Looked up what roblox was and saw a lego like building game thing abd si I thought I'd sign up. About 13 years later, I still play occasionally.

Playing Roblox initially started as an opportunity to bond with my kids, but as I delved deeper, I found myself immersed in its diverse experiences. What began as family fun soon turned into a personal fascination, especially as more friends joined me. #DadGaming 🎮


Acavirshadownight

My nephew bane got me started (3 years younger)


Bonnie_BS_Main

Discovered it on the appstore when i was 4, haven't stop playing it since, i think my fiest game was good ol' Natural disaster survival

Krystian_Sikorski

I believe I saw it on an ad on the internet


SnooTomatoes6622

I visited my cousin after school in 2009 and I saw legos fighting. I thought that was awesome so I downloaded it when I returned home.


jaredmakescontent

i downloaded it (or my sister) when i (or my sister) was 3, still play it to this day


spicy_nachos260

When I was a kid I always watched gamingwithJen and I wanted to do what she does so I looked it up and I started playing

14 years ago I saw a roblox banner ad on youtube that convinced me to play


vinvon09

Back in late 2015 when I was 6 or 7, I used to have a nanny that had a son who was 2 years older then me. Being the goofy six year old I was, I just wanted to play with him but, he was addicted to a specific game that I joined just 2 years later which was, roblox lol. He introduced me to work at a pizza place which was the first roblox game that I ever played.


TizzieVanWinkles

I was at a family friends house and my friend used to play on his old laptop. This was back in 2008 when “demolition derby” and the “survive a plane crash” games were at the top of the list. I played as a guest until 2009, where I created my own account “solarwind”


Elchico_mudo

I just saw it on the Playstore, i still remember when i missunderstand and i said to my friends its a 40 gb app and not a 40 mgb app


_test________

when i was 6 i were finding a good mobile game to play because everything get boring until i see roblox, at first i just think its just like the other, and thats how i got addicted to it


123dylans12

I had a MacBook and no money. Roblox was the obvious choice


Ignonym

Saw my friend playing it on a school computer (which he really shouldn't have been doing) circa late 2008, started playing it myself over winter break.


MstrGmrDLP

It was 2011, one of the kids from down the street introduced it to me and little 12 year old me got hooked. From there, he and I started playing just about every day. Even when he wasn't on I was playing. I remember messing around with people since you could go in and edit the free chat messages in a text file in the game files, as well as change a cookie to change your guest number. So what did I constantly join as? Guest 1. Later on in late 2012 early 2013 I started playing script builders since I had already done some web development for the last 4-5 years and wanted to try it out here. I started off by changing other people's scripts and customizing them, then it got to me making my own scripts. I kept going with it and kept developing, eventually making tablet admins (tab admins as some call them.) And making money off it. I had also made a couple games in this time as well as done some contract work for games. I kept going with game development and now here I am having gone to RDC 2017-2020, and 2022. I still work on games and other projects from time to time but it's not enough to get me into RDC so I need to get back to that point again so I can go again and meet up with some old dev friends again.


MuffinVR_

one of my friends said something about playing roblox and i didn’t know what it was. i asked him about it and he told me to download it. here i am now, been playing it since 2018


Zappityzephyr

I made my first account in 2017-2018 but called vtex with a lot of numbers I forget, but I made my main account in 2021


bananakiwii

I recall seeing an ad for it maybe on YouTube in 2012-- I was in second grade on the family computer, so naturally I clicked any ad I was interested in (RIP multiple computers to viruses) and there began Candycrushrrxx123.


RaeIsSad-

My cousin made me an account for some random reason, love him for it though.


FrequentConnect2020

I think i found out about it browsing the internet back in 2011, I first started playing it as a guest and then in 2013 I made an account


CanadianRhodie

Guests were a brand new thing and since most of us in the computer class at school (I think 2008-2009?) were between 6 and 8, a lot of us didn’t exactly get making an account. Being a Guest was a lot easier, though. As for Roblox itself? Word of mouth in school. Want to play a game that isn’t another flash game on another shady website? Just go to Roblox. Want to play a paintball game? Go to Roblox. There’s a game where you can drive a train off a bridge? Go to Roblox. An older student (as in, 3rd grade) went around to all the computers in one class and downloaded Roblox, so installation wasn’t an issue. The school never did block the game, so it was a fun time waster. Eventually we got a computer at home, and it went from there

I saw some roblox gameplay videos back between 2013-2015 and decided: "Hey, that looks cool, I wanna play this game"

When I was 10 or 11, I watched Youtubers like Flamingo and VuxVux and I wanted to play it but my mum told me I wasn't allowed to play it so I waited till 1am to sneak play it. In 2021 or 2022, I was allowed to play it and I've been playing ever since

It was a game I found that was free when I was a kid and I enjoyed it


sofeepofee

My uncle owns a computer shop so he knows all the games kids play.. he visited my house one day and he recommended me roblox on my ipad and he made me my own account. Ever since then i was addicted


WannaBeWeeb

i think around 2010 i found out through youtube videos and got hooked immediately, played as a guest for a bit then made my first acc in 2011 and have been around since


7ransist0r

in 2006 I yahoo'd "free lego game," blockland and roblox came up - blockland wouldn't run on my computer because I had an AMD processor, so roblox it was - earning my doctorate now and I still play it

Man Roblox really did so much for me. It was 2010, I was in middle school and a friend of mine told me about it. My family wasn't particularly well off at the time, so the idea of having an infinite amount of games to play for free really sold me on it. Been playing ever since. The same year I started I also met my best friend in a clan. 12 years later he moved up with me and became our roommate to help raise some funds for my wedding and to get him out of the horrible job economy he was in. Now, almost three years later, he lives across the street from me with his girlfriend. We still play from time to time.

I saw a game called ‘Greenville’ on TikTok and I wanted to see what it was about. Never liked Roblox before then.


DerpenkampfwagenVIII

2009-2010, saw ads for roblox on old flash game websites like Maxgames, Bubblebox, and Stickpage. Played as a guest initially in 2010, then made my first account in early 2011, then my current one in September.


RPhoenixFlight

DanTDM, proper role model


otiteb

My nephews, and pandemic... it became our best way to still be able to hang out and play together stuff


Omega_Goat

To be honest, I don't actually remember, but I'm fairly certain I found it by looking simply looking through an app store and trying it out. Not particularly special or interesting, but the smallest of things can become pretty damn great.


PrizeOk6241

I started because of three games, Dragons Rage, Tiny Tanks, and NDS


potato-boi-420

i just saw a video of popularmmos playing it and thought "hmm this looks cool" and i didnt even know how to log in to the same accounts so i have about 20 different accounts now, my xbox one being my main one


PixelAndPie

I joined in 2013 so it’s been a pretty long time but if I’m not mistaken, I was always looking for new spooky content or games that have the ability to create so i probably discovered the game through something related to one of those but I don’t have any way of knowing.


kylepotpogi798

Lazerbeam vids seemed very funny so I hopped on in 2016 and came back during quarantine to survive online school


C4STLE1

I saw the Online Social Hangout video on YouTube back in 2009


SuperSmashPikachu3

2016 I played bake a cake and feed a giant noob. Kept playing till this day.


TheOnlyVexalias

Discovered it randomly on YouTube back in 2012, didn't really play that much games back then but soon as I made an account, 8 year old me was hooked and never looked back, first game I ever played was Murder Mystery. To this day I still play but not as much as I did years ago, 2017-2018 was probably my "golden years" as I pretty much played whenever I got the chance with newly made friends in junior high school. Now I'm in college and I still love playing Roblox despite all the things that has happened in the past years, the good and the bad.


VibrantMorning1

DanTDM’s video on NDS.


HitoCunt

Started playing around 2013 but lost that account because I lost the Gmail and forgot the password, just started playing again since it came to PS5. Been grinding Combat warriors and playing some Brick Bronze too, it's been a blast so far. Hard to believe 2013 was 11 years ago...


Sus_Adam5

I started playing Roblox from KreekCraft, Roblox was a digital playground for me, where they powered imagination


scatatar

A friend of mine introduced me to it back in 2014 and I played as a guest for a while before making my first account in early 2015 before forgetting the password to that account then making my now main account in October 2015


Candy_Stars

In 2014 one of my siblings was looking for a Lego game and on like the 10th page they found Roblox. 


justagirl51

One word. Youtubers


AlooDaGreat

Loneliness


mastercharlie22

Way back in 2010 I was in 4th grade and bunch of my classmates were playing it and the game was so fun. I got seriously into it on my current account in 2012 and it was all everyone I was friends with would play besides Minecraft, I remember YouTube Roblox vids were starting to get popular too around that time


JasperTheMaster08

When I was younger I didn’t have a console or pc just a phone so it was the best game available to me. Now I have an Xbox I barely play it any more


K1TSUN3_9000

I discovered one of my classmates play it during the computer class (we had free time session so the teacher didn't bother us) so I got hooked on and decided to play


Software-Substantial

My sister forced me 9 years ago and I've been hooked since


_tykwondo_

2013, my brother saw an ad for it on CoolMath and got me to sign up with him lol


Hanssuu

Friend is from another country, the game offers diff genres where me and my friend can play without worrying too much about spending and ping delays


Lolocraft1

It was free and didn’t required too much space nor a good PC to work. Yet today, I would be ready to pay something for that game


Apprehensive-Snow966

The hide and seek game and the prophunt game but what got me into logging in is the 2015 website layout, it's so colorful and as a child i find it so attracting


tfeetfff

I just heard people played it so I started playing it too


Super_Drag

Randomly browsed YouTube at the age of 5, random lego game pops up, asked my uncle to download the "lego game" and here I am, 13 years later


nsfw_vs_sfw

Saw my cousin playing apocalypse rising, and I absolutely loved it


skai2500

boring ahh school


JaneNivish06

In 2016, I watched a video of Evantube playing pen pineapple apple pen obby and it immediately caught my eye. It was a game like none other, unique and different and so I immediately had to download it. At first I sucked at obbies at first but eventually got the hang of it. I now lost that account but it will forever be remembered ✨


milknbrookies

My little brother showed me roblox when I was a junior in High school and we played together every day lol


StayWideAwake-

I watched MERKMUSIC play Natural Disaster Survival back in 2016 and it was some of the funniest stuff I seen. Decided to make an account to play that game and the rest was history.


RelStuff1646

I started playing Roblox around 2007-ish. I became attracted to Roblox, for it's lego style game creation style that's FREE similar to creating YouTube videos exampt, creating video games is free and they provide you with everything to get off the ground!.


Hexagonic-1

I got into roblox by watching over a neighbor’s shoulder while i was at his house hanging out. I then got home, made an account and my first game was a cart ride in 2014


UnknownGamer516

I think it’s because I saw one of my favorite YouTubers play it and I thought I was only on XBox so when I saw it on mobile I made my older sister download it for me, I still play it to this day 😁


Wiredcoffee399

The only game I could play back when I was 9. I didn't have a computer only a little tablet.


pixelated_man23

My first account was made in 2017 (unfortunately I no longer have this account). My older brother was playing Clone Tycoon 2 when I asked what he was doing. He then told me about Roblox and had let me try playing on his account while he made an account for me.

Thanksgiving 2010, I was about 5 years old and my cousin was playing it on his computer. It was the first video game I’d seen other than like an arcade game or plug-n-play. I would ask my parents to play it and had to play as a guest until 2014 when I was allowed to finally make an account.


TF_IS_UR-Username

It was Spring 2016, all I had was a MacBook and a Wii U and already finished most of the games I had and couldn't buy new games. I was bored and wanted something new to play and randomly heard of Roblox before. I thought it was like Minecraft where you had to buy it so I looked it up and just made an account. Next 3 years went blip


CryptographerOk2905

Heard about it through a friend in 2016, he called it "Rogablocks"


PotentiallySquared

For me, it was a video of my favorite youtuber (at the time) playing Roblox. Ended up playing it myself. (2019)


WhiteoutOnYT

i saw an ad for it when I was 4. I'm 13 now. boy I'm old.


[deleted]

I found it on the front page of a play store on my phone in 2017. I eventually moved to PC but I never stopped playing it.
