Educator Review of Behind the Brand: Roblox
Roblox is an online game platform that brings together people from all around the world. A computer scientist named David Baszucki started a company in 1989 with the mission of teaching students about physics. In 2004 he created a new company called Dynablocks but soon changed the name to something more memorable, Roblox. Roblox is a combination of two
words, robots and blocks.
This book is a great introduction to explain what Roblox is and the timeline of how it has developed over the years. The graphics and pictures in this book give great information and help support the writing. The book is written around a 4th-grade reading level, but being 32 pages long and with supporting graphics it could be accessible to younger readers.
Readers who play Roblox will not learn new tips or tricks to help them play better, but they will learn about the creators and history of how the game has come to be over the years. This book is a good explanation of what Roblox is for someone interested in the history of the game, or for someone who has not yet played the game or is just a beginning player.
