Roblox is a popular gaming platform that houses various types of games for people to play, tending to everyone’s interests. Roblox has been viral for years and has been able to keep its popularity with new games coming out everyday. Students have grown up with Roblox playing games like Adopt Me, Fashion Famous, Hide and Seek Extreme, and Bloxburg, amongst many others for the earlier parts of their childhood. Students continue to unlock their inner child in their free time and play Roblox with their friends with somewhat newer, different games.
Roblox games from these students’ childhoods aren’t as popular as before but there are other newer games that leave students obsessed. Dress To Impress, Watermelon GO, Bloxy Bingo, Midnight Cashiers, among many others are well favored. These games being released in the past few years allowed students to rediscover their love for Roblox.
Dress To Impress is what the majority of students are playing since it reminds them of a game which was released in 2016, Fashion Famous. Dress To Impress being a more updated fashion game has more to offer than Fashion Famous. It features many different clothes options allowing players to style their avatar to a corresponding theme and presenting it to the other players to rate.
Watermelon GO is a merging game that combines two of the same fruits to try to get a higher level fruit, eventually becoming a watermelon to win. This is a game that people can play by themselves or with friends. Sophomore, Sunayana Javvaji says, “In Web Design last year, after I finished my work, I would play Watermelon GO with my friends, and I still continue to play it in my free-time to this day.”
Some games on Roblox don’t get left behind from students’ elementary and middle school days like Bloxy Bingo. This game is a bingo game that has many types of bingos to play. Sophomore, Zahid Mondol states, “My friend Reagan and I used to play Bloxy Bingo all the time in middle school, we just played it together the other day too.”
Different types of horror games are also very entertaining to students, giving them a thrill to their day. Midnight cashiers on Roblox is the student’s staple late night game to play with friends. This gained a lot of its popularity with the jump scares having comedic faces, causing hilarious fits.
All of these new and old Roblox games are reeling students into playing Roblox more. When playing, students express feelings of nostalgia and excitement of being able to experience many types of game with their friends or by themselves. During free time in class, students tend to use that time to talk and play Roblox which consists of lots of laughs and giggles. This platform is a place of creativity and pleasure allowing students to be entertained for hours.
Students still continue to enjoy Roblox in their free time in class or at home with their friends or even alone, allowing a slice of their middle and elementary school days to leak in through their busy highschool schedules. Roblox will continue to allow students an oasis of fun for years to come that lifts stress and brings laughter and fun.
