Which Roblox games should I block for my child?
By Boundly Team, Infinite Future · Last updated
The short answer
Block the games your kid actually plays that show one of these signs: a Content May Vary label, a rating above what you chose for their age, a focus on hanging out or chatting with people they don't know, constant pressure to spend Robux, or a copy of a game Roblox already removed. Start from the Top games list in Roblox Parental Controls, check each game against the signs below, then block it under Content restrictions → Blocked games.
Start with what they actually play
There are millions of Roblox games, so don't start from a list someone else made. In your linked parent account, open Settings → Parental Controls → your kid and look at their Top games (some screens say Top experiences) (their top 20 games from the last week, with play time and rating; Roblox Help: Overview). Those are the only games you need to judge this week. Our guide on how to see what games your kid plays shows every way to find them.
Seven signs a game is worth blocking
| Sign | Why it matters | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| Content May Vary label | The creator didn't finish Roblox's content questionnaire, so nobody has described what's in it. Kids 9–15 can only play one if a parent allowed that specific game. | The label on the game's page |
| Rated above your setting | Kids and Select accounts only see games outside the vetted catalog when a parent allows them. A game you allowed months ago may not fit today. | Compare the game's label with your Content maturity setting |
| Built for meeting people | Roblox itself limits social hangouts and free-form drawing or writing games to age-checked users 16 and up, and keeps them out of its kids' catalogs by default. | Game description; watch a few minutes of play |
| Pushes spending | Games labeled Moderate can include unplayable gambling content (casino-style play without real wagers), and monthly spending limits stop applying at 13. | Count the Robux prompts in the first few minutes |
| Sensitive issues descriptor | Social, political or religious themes are meant for age-checked users 16+ unless a parent turns them on. | Game page; your Sensitive issues setting |
| Copy of a removed game | Hindenburg Research reported that games Roblox removed came back as re-uploads. | A game that looks like one you heard was taken down |
| Your kid gets secretive about it | Lawsuits allege predators meet kids in Roblox games, then move them to Snapchat and Discord. | Ask them to show you the game; ask who they play it with |

Why the rating alone isn't enough
Roblox maturity labels come from a questionnaire the game's own creator fills out (Roblox Help). Florida's attorney general alleges that games rated Minimal or Mild and open to young accounts contained violent and sexualized content (Florida AG complaint). That complaint (December 2025) came before Roblox launched its vetted Kids and Select catalogs in April 2026 (Roblox newsroom); as of October 27, 2026 we haven't found independent testing of the new catalogs. Treat the label as a starting point, and judge the games your kid plays yourself. More on the labels: Roblox maturity ratings explained.
Block the ones that fail
- Go to Settings → Parental Controls and tap your kid's name.
- Tap Settings you manage → Content restrictions → Blocked games.
- Tap +, type the game's name, then tap Block twice.
A block works whatever the game's rating, and starts the next time your kid opens the game. You can block specific games until your kid turns 16 (Roblox Help: Parental Controls Overview). Parents on the Roblox developer forum report a limit of 100 blocked games per child (DevForum; not confirmed on an official Roblox page), so block the riskiest games first.

Why we don't publish a list of games to block
Lists of named games go stale fast: games change after updates, get removed, and come back under new names. A list also says nothing about your kid's age or what worries you. That's why this guide gives you signs to check, not names. The games that matter are the ones on your kid's Top games list this week.
Blocking isn't the only lever. Set Content maturity to fit your kid's age, turn Direct chat off, set a spending limit, and play a game with them now and then. Our Roblox parental controls guide covers every setting.
