BLOX BASICS

Level up your Roblox knowledge with these terms!

BLOXXED: This is when you are defeated in a Roblox game – but don’t worry, your avatar just falls to pieces!

EXPERIENCES This is what games in Roblox are called!

HARVEST This is when you are collecting items in a game to use, craft or sell!

NOOB Someone new to the game (or any game, not just Roblox) and is still figuring out how to play! Hopefully you won’t be a noob after reading this story!

OBBY This is what obstacle-based games are called in Roblox. They’re one of the most common and easy type of games!

OP: Short for ‘overpowered’ and is used to describe weapons or items that are a bit too powerful!

PS: Short for ‘private server’. This is where you can play Roblox exclusively with friends that you invite but it does cost Robux!

ROBUX: Virtual currency in Roblox which you can use to purchase items or games. You can play Roblox without buying Robux though!

SPAWN: This is when a player, character or avatar appears in a game. Respawn is when something reappears in the game after being destroyed or defeated!

XP: Short for ‘experience points’, which is what you get after completing tasks in a game!

ZOMBIE TIPS

There are a lot of zombie themed experiences in Roblox. These creatures also pop up in non-zombie themed experiences, so here are our top tips to surviving them:

1. Run! It’s Zombie 101 to run away when you see a zombie before you become their target.
2. Spawning is your friend! Especially in experiences where you can spawn other characters for protection, like in Tower Battles.
3. Try different weapons and items. Sure, shooting zombies seems like a no-brainer (sorry, we couldn’t resist!), but we recommend experimenting with other types of weapons. Ever tried to take on a zombie with a rolling pin? It’s more effective than you think! Plus, it makes game play more interesting and brings on the LOLs!
4. Run. No seriously, if all else fails, just run. Run for your life!

SUPER SURVIVAL EXPERIENCES

Most of these games are for ages nine and up, so we recommend them for Older K-Zoners.

ZOMBIE RUSH

Created: 2013

Ages: 9+

Visits: over 680.7 million

Genre: Horror

In this experience, fight waves of zombies! There are stacks of different zombies, including sapphire zombies and ruby zombies. Look out for the phantom skeletons and diamond skeletons that will also come after you! If the zombies get ya, you’ll spawn as a zombie to take on the remaining survivors (and keep spawning). There are also different weapons to choose from, so make sure you check out all your options. (The frying pans and rolling pins look fun!) Plus, more weapons unlock as you continue to play through waves.

BEDWARS

Created: 2021

Ages: 9+

Visits: over 7 billion

Genre: Fighting

One of the most massive experiences on Roblox, BedWars isn’t something that you want to sleep on coz it’s updated every week! Updates can include new maps, skins or fun events in game. In this chaotic experience, you need to protect your team’s bed at all costs, and also find a way to destroy your opposing team’s bed. Sounds simple, but the fun is being creative with how you protect your bed. Like selecting specific types of blocks to use to build a protective barrier around your bed! There are also special kits available with items that can give you certain abilities to help you out. The lobby where you first enter this experience is fun too – you could end up with a random item, like a guitar. LOL!

ZOMBIE ATTACK

Created: 2017

Ages: 9+

Visits: over 1.5 billion

Genre: All Genres

This is one of the most popular zombie experiences in Roblox! You are part of a team who are trying to survive all the waves of different zombies coming your way. There are different weapons to try, including a fireblade! We also like that you can also select pets to help you heal – that’s something different amongst all the chaotic zombie experiences available in Roblox! 

TOWER DEFENSE SIMULATOR

Ages: All ages

Visits: over 2.6 billion

Genre: All Genres

You may not have guessed from the title of this experience but there are so many zombies here! Explore different maps while you’re part of a team that fights waves of zombies and other enemies. Towers are the way to take on these enemies, and each tower has its own ability and strategy. You are rewarded with cash in battles, which allows you to upgrade or buy new towers. (You don’t need to spend IRL money to buy Robux to get this cash!)

TOWER BATTLES

Created: 2011

Visits: over 569.1 million

Genre: Town and City

More towers, zombies, teamwork and using strategies! In this experience, you and your opposing team are competing to defend yourselves from waves of zombies that are walking along a path on a map.
