In 2021, Roblox hit a record player count with over 202 million monthly active users, and this trend is likely to continue into 2022.
With Roblox, the best games are often the most popular ones. A larger player base means there’s always someone online when you want to play, and popular games tend to be updated regularly, meaning there’s always new content.
So, what are the most popular games in Roblox to play in 2022? In this article, we’ll take a look at ten games that we think will top the charts.
Contents
Adopt Me!
Adopt Me! arguably the most popular game on Roblox in 2021. It has nearly 26 billion hits and typically has over 100,000 active users at any one time. In fact, the game is so popular that its developers have set up their own studio to develop the game independently.
Adopt Me! is a role-playing game (RPG) that begins with the player taking on the role of a parent or adopted child, much like Sims. However, as it grew, it became more focused on the adoption, care and trade of pets.
Adopt Me! also offers a gamepass for 449 Robux that allows the player to create a home on a developing piece of land on Adoption Island. This is only available to players who have a Premium subscription with Roblox.
Tower of Hell
Tower of Hell is the most popular obby on Roblox. Tower of Hell has the second most total hits of any Roblox game and has received the Bloxy Award for Best Rounded Game.
In Tower of Hell, you race to reach the top of a tower. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Unnecessary. The tower is randomly generated and there are no checkpoints for you to restart – if it fails, you have to start over.
Brookhaven RP
Brookhaven is another hugely popular RPG on Roblox. In fact, as of February 2021, it is the most popular game on Roblox as it averages over 500,000 players per day.
Brookhaven is a simple yet surprisingly fun life simulation game that leaves all the games up to the player. You start in an open world city where characters can get jobs, buy houses and cars, and pretend to do whatever you want with whoever you like. The rest is up to you!
MeepCity
MeepCity is the 4th most visited game on Roblox and typically has an average of around 50,000 active players at any one time. It was designed as a social hangout game – much like Club Penguin. In MeepCity, players customize their properties and visit others in their quarters.
You earn money by selling things to other players, which you can then use to buy in-game items like pets and customizable furniture for the house.
MeepCity is special in that the server allows up to 200 players to join – much more than the average 30 player limit.
Piggy
Piggy is one of the most popular horror games on Roblox. In Piggy (which has a similar graphic style to Peppa Pig), the survivors must complete missions and evade the evil Piggy before time runs out. On the other hand, the Piggy player needs to try to wipe out all the survivors.
Piggy was awarded the Bloxy Game of the Year Award and was the fastest game to hit one billion hits. Part of the appeal is that there’s a basic and ongoing storyline of the game that is slowly being revealed with each season.
Murder Mystery 2
Murder Mystery 2 was the most popular Roblox horror game prior to Piggy’s launch (although it generally had more active players). Murder Mystery 2 is a social reasoning game very similar to the card game Salem Town.
Each round, one player is randomly chosen to be the Killer and the other to be the Sheriff. The remaining players are innocent bystanders. These three groups have different win conditions. The killer tries to get rid of all the innocents, the sheriff tries to find the killer, and the innocents just try to survive (usually by helping the sheriff).
Royale High
Royale High is a fantasy RPG adventure game on Roblox. As of November 2021, it is the 7th most visited game on Roblox and has around 50,000 active players at any one time. It started as a Winx Club RPG but quickly evolved into what it is today.
In Royale High, each player is a high school student from a noble family with supernatural powers. Players role-play and socialize while leveling up their characters to receive in-game currency. There is a surprisingly open world in Royale High with players being able to teleport to various realms, each with different characteristics.
Jailbreak
Jailbreak is the most popular Roblox action game at the moment, with a gameplay quite similar to Grand Theft Auto. It’s one of the longest running games consistently with the closest position to the top of the page.
Jailbreak is described as a “cop and robber” game in which players can be on one of three teams – police, prisoners or criminals. The goal of the police is to catch the criminals and put them in jail, while the prisoner who wants to escape becomes a criminal.
Welcome to Bloxburg
Similar to Brookhaven, Welcome to Bloxburg is another life simulation Roblox game that allows the player to engage in pretend daily activities in a fictional city. It looks like it took a lot of inspiration from The Sims 4 and is the only game on this list that is only available through paid access.
The goal of the game is to take care of the characters by making sure they are well fed, happy, energetic and hygienic. You can build and customize your home, which is a very well received feature. Anyone who has played both Roblox and Minecraft knows they are not the same, but this is as close as you can get!
In the meantime, players can earn a profession to earn money, explore, and socialize with others.
Works at a Pizza Place
Works at a Pizza Place is the 10th most visited game on Roblox and the 4th game to reach 1 billion hits. It is over 10 years old, was released on March 28, 2008 and has managed to keep a strong player base all this time.
In Works at a Pizza Place, the characters work at a pizzeria to earn money. These jobs include Cashier, Cook, Pizza Canner, Delivery, Vendor, and Manager. With the money earned, players can upgrade houses, buy furniture and buy items for their characters.
