One exciting thing about ROBLOX that most people don’t realize right away is it’s not a finished game — it is very much a work in progress. The upside to this is that everyone, both community members and the ROBLOX development team, has a real opportunity to shape the future of ROBLOX.

We’d appreciate if you could take five minutes out of your day to fill it out.
It’s important to us that our users help shape the paths we take at ROBLOX, whether those footprints are digital or real. Tell us where you’d like us to go, and we’ll do our best to get there.

You are invincible. Your game gets super popular. It’s great.
