Forbes writer Alex Konrad had the benefit of meeting in person with ROBLOX CEO David Baszucki, who demonstrated the app just before its launch. In his article, The World’s Most Popular Kids Site Takes Its Games Mobile, he said:

As the seasons change, ROBLOX users have found many ways to slightly alter their places and games to reflect the spirit of the season. With Christmas just around the corner, some users have updated their places to spread holiday cheer, while others are making brand new games just in time for the holidays. Check them out! 

The Complex V.4

User spyro372 re-decorated his popular place, which features a mall, stores, parks and a few fast food joints, for the holiday season. Wreaths decorate doors of houses, candy canes shoot out of the ground, and there’s a sleigh with a bunch of reindeer in front of the mall. Aesthetics aside, spyro372 did something tricky to the snow on the ground: if you sit on the slide (it’s in the center of the map) and slide down, once you hit the snow, you’ll just keep right on sliding, all the way across the map if you choose.

Seeing a couple ROBLOX game cards peeking out the top of your holiday stocking is a great sight. It’s even better when you know the cards will get you a free virtual hat.

This month, we’re running a promotion on ROBLOX game cards from Walmart: redeem two $25 cards by the end of December and you’ll receive the Holiday Fedora. This hat is pretty rare – less than 200 users have received it at the time of this writing – so it could end up being a valuable commodity in the ROBLOX market. If you (or whoever is delivering your holiday gifts) are on the hunt for ROBLOX cards at Walmart, you’ll find them in the electronics section and special holiday displays at the front of each store.
