Like Microsoft Corp's MSFT.O Minecraft, Roblox allows users to create and share 3D gaming content via simple tools and send messages to others. It has been credited with developing kids' logic and creativity. Roblox is a free platform which offers millions of games, many of them created by its own young users through a simple programming tool that the company provides.
