Some surprising conclusions jump out when comparing time spent playing online, mobile, and facebook games. People spend one hour playing ROBLOX for every 20 hours kids around the world play with physical LEGO bricks. Twice as much time is spent on Xbox Live as is spent playing Zynga games.

Last year’s ROBLOX Game Conference – ROBLOX Rally 2011 – had one thousand attendees. We would like to double (or more) the number of users attending this year.
