As a parent, I love that Roblox offers fun, creative, and educational experiences for kids. But let’s be honest — not every Roblox game is kid-friendly. While the platform has parental controls, some games still sneak in inappropriate content, sketchy interactions, or themes that just don’t sit right with me.
Here are 5 Roblox games I personally won’t let my kids play, and why.
1. Da Hood
This game is one of the most controversial on Roblox. It’s meant to simulate life in a crime-heavy neighborhood, but it’s filled with violence, toxic behavior, and bad language — even if it’s text-filtered.
Why I don’t allow it:
It normalizes aggressive behavior, bullying, and gang culture. Not the kind of virtual environment I want my kids learning from.
2. Club Iris
Club Iris is one of the many social “club” games where avatars dance, flirt, and hang out. Unfortunately, it’s also known for inappropriate conversations and suggestive behavior, even among younger players.
Why I don’t allow it:
This game encourages interactions that are too mature for kids. The line between role-play and reality can get blurry fast.
3. Murder Mystery 2
It’s one of the most popular games on Roblox, and while it’s technically a strategy game, it’s still centered around the idea of hiding, killing, and surviving.
Why I don’t allow it:
Even with cartoon graphics, I’m not comfortable with my kids pretending to be murderers or running from them in a virtual world.
4. Brookhaven RP (Unmoderated Servers)
Brookhaven is very popular — and to be fair, not all servers are bad. But in unmoderated public servers, kids can run into online dating, inappropriate roleplay, and bullying.
Why I limit it:
I only allow my kids to play in private, family-friendly servers. Public ones are a no-go unless I’m there watching.
5. Raise a Floppa (Clones and Copies)
The original Raise a Floppa was harmless fun, but many of its fan-made clones contain weird, glitchy, or even inappropriate content. Some copies have hidden jump scares or strange references that aren’t suitable for younger players.
Why I don’t allow it:
You never know what you’re getting in cloned games. If it’s not from the original developer, we skip it.
Final Thoughts
Roblox is a huge platform with amazing games, but it’s also user-generated — which means not everything is reviewed equally. That’s why I stay involved, research the games, and check what my kids are playing. It’s not about banning fun — it’s about making sure their digital playground is safe, positive, and age-appropriate.
Tip for fellow parents:
Use Roblox’s parental controls, set playtime limits, and don’t be afraid to say “no” to certain games. Our job is to guide, not just supervise.
