Original games

These games are fundamentally based on original or uncopyrightable ideas.

Adopt Me!

Adopt Me! is a massively multiplayer online game where the nominal focus is players pretending to be either parents adopting a child, or children getting adopted, though the de facto focus is around adopting and caring for many different pets, who can be traded with other players.

Due to the high cost of pets within the game, with some rare pets selling for up to US$100, a large number of scammers have risen up within the game. As the primary user base of Adopt Me! is on average younger than the rest of Roblox, they are especially susceptible to falling for scams.
