Roblox Sandbox Game Ideas

Sandbox games hand players a set of tools and let them create: houses, machines, cities, or totally ridiculous contraptions. Players supply the creativity and you supply the toybox.

A great sandbox idea gives the building a purpose, like racing your creations, defending them, or showing them off in a contest.
