history of the game!!!

Roblox was founded in 2004. The founders were David Baszucki and Erik Cassel. The main headquarters are located in San Mateo, California. The first couple hundred builders of Roblox were all developers, investors, testers, and friends of the founders.

The history of Roblox is a story of creativity, collaboration, and the power of play: 

  • Origins
    Roblox's history began in 1989 when David Baszucki and Erik Cassel created a 2D physics simulation called Interactive Physics. The simulation allowed students to interact with physics to see how cars would crash or build destructible houses. 
  • DynaBlocks
    In 2004, Baszucki and Cassel began working on a virtual world where players could build and explore called DynaBlocks. They used the Lua scripting language to create the game. 
  • Growth
    Roblox grew rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and its growth was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
  • Expansion
    Roblox has expanded to other gaming consoles and platforms, including iOS, Android, Xbox One, and Oculus Rift. 
  • Community
    Roblox is free to play and safe for kids aged 4+. The company values community feedback and encourages users to provide their ideas and suggestions.
