A 16-year-old’s Roblox game, Grow a Garden, has shattered records for the most concurrent players in history.

Grow a Garden just keeps gaining traction with the Roblox community. It's smashing records, with a new update already on the way.

Like YouTube, Roblox started as an online stage for young creators. As the company grows toward 100 million active daily users, contributors are making big money selling games.

Whether it serves as a chill escape from the onslaught of the real world or simply a way to beat vacation doldrums, a viral Roblox game about gardening has become the surprise hit of the summer.
