Place

A place is the ROBLOXian term to describe a game that has been created by a player and posted to ROBLOX and is one of the core components that make up ROBLOX. Places were released in June 2006 by Telamon. All places can be found via the "Games" tab on the main page of ROBLOX and can be filtered via tweaking different filter options on the "Games" tab:

Genres
All places are categorized via the use of genres, to help people to find a specific sort of place - there are multiple genres that can be used to help you find a certain type of place: A Skate Park genre had existed for a certain amount of time due to the massive increase in skate-park places that competed in the DisneyXD-sponsored Skate-park Contest, however after the contest, the amount of skate-park places had dramatically fallen, and as such the skate-park genre is now hidden.

Editing the Place
In order to edit a place, go to the "Build" page, and click on the "Build New" button and select "Game". You will also see a list displaying all the places that you currently own: to edit the place itself, make it activa and then click on the "Build" button. A new window will open with your place in it. You are now free to move around within your place. If you look at the bottom of your screen, you will see that you have 8 tools with which you can build to your heart's content. To open up the advanced building GUI, use the ROBLOX Studio application instead of using your browser to open up the place. In addition, if you don't feel like having a character while building, click on the place's thumbnail. This will redirect you to an expanded version of the place's information page. Clicking "Edit" will allow you to access the advanced building GUI without using a character to move around the world.

Configuring the Place
To configure a place, simply select the "configure" option on the right of your place's box. While configuring a place, you may modify its public thumbnail, its name, its description, genre, allowed gear types, maximum players, and many other features!
