The games that everyone’s playing on Roblox

Roblox offers an abundance of experiences that may leave you wondering, 'What should I play next?'. With so many options to choose from within the game's many curated lists, finding the best one for you might take longer than you'd think.

Here are a few of the games and experiences in Roblox that stand out among the crowd. These six experiences offer exciting gameplay loops and a constant stream of daily players. If you're just starting out in Roblox, or if you haven't tried these options yet, make sure that these popular picks are on your radar.

Rainbow Friends has been one of the most popular Roblox experiences for several years. In this multiplayer horror game, 15 players enter a massive facility, with the goal of finding specific items and escaping with their lives. Inside the facility are gigantic, brightly coloured monsters attempting to stalk and capture the group one by one until all of them have been subdued.

Each session is separated into five 'nights', with the behaviour of the baddies changing up slightly each night. If you can survive all five nights and escape, you’ll have conquered the first episode… but that’s only the beginning, with more frights to follow in episode two.

On the surface, Dress To Impress is a classic fashion show experience. Customise your model, design an outfit for her to wear and then present it to the judges. If the group likes your outfit the most, you win. If they don't, it's back to the designing board to try again. However, the game’s lore extends beyond your fashion skills.

As you continue to play, you'll realise that things aren't exactly what they seem. Lana, one of the game's non-playable characters (NPCs), has an entire story arc that goes to some unexpected places, and the lore is fascinating to dig into. Even if fashion isn't your thing, there's enough lying just below the surface to make Dress To Impress worth a play or two.

Brookhaven is a 'roleplay' experience – a sandbox-style game where players simply drop in and then do whatever they want. You can own a home, explore the city, go food shopping at the supermarket, hang out with friends in the city centre and more. The world of Brookhaven is completely at your disposal, and the only limitation is your imagination.

Gameplay is simple and easy to learn, with one of the most fun parts of the experience being simply customising your avatar and in-game house before going out to explore. While most of the in-game offerings of Brookhaven are available for everyone, there are a few premium items that require a Gamepass, which can be purchased with Robux, Roblox’s overarching in-game currency.

Inspired by the popular manga and TV series One Piece, Blox Fruits is a swashbuckling pirate adventure, where players can earn weapons and powers through the titular Blox Fruits. Mixing and matching fruits is a big part of the fun, and it's turned Blox Fruits into one of the top experiences on the Roblox platform.

Some of the powers provided by the fruits are pretty straightforward, like the Flame fruit, which conjures fire, or the Bomb fruit, which grants explosive attacks. Others are more unique, like the Venom fruit that transforms you into a massive hydra with poison-based attacks. As you level up and learn new abilities, you can explore the world and go on grand adventures both alone and with friends.

One of the oldest experiences on the Roblox platform is still one of the best experiences the platform has ever put out. Adopt Me! – which debuted back in 2017 – is a roleplay game in the Adopt and Raise genre that drops you into a world of cuddly animals and lets you adopt them, train them to battle big bad enemies and trade the little cuties with players around the world.

The game starts with you adopting a puppy or kitten, but eventually you can even adopt and train more exotic animals like sharks, walruses and even unicorns. With regular updates coming all the time, this is also one of the most robust Roblox games, so you'll have plenty to see and do if you drop into Adopt Me! for the first time.
