A house, a pet and a town square
MeepCity gives every player an estate, a round pet called a Meep, and a town to wander. Kids earn coins by fishing, playing mini-games like Meep racing and hanging out, then spend them on furniture. For years it was one of the most visited places on Roblox, past 16 billion visits, and plenty of kids who are teens now grew up decorating there.
Its social features kept getting abused
The same openness drew trouble. Parties, which let players host gatherings in their houses, became known for sexual roleplay. On February 16, 2022 the game was placed under review and came back the same day without parties.
The problem moved to avatars. In August 2025, days after a popular streamer came across inappropriate behavior there on a live stream, MeepCity removed its custom avatar catalog, player bios and saved outfits. Much of the crowd left with them.
What is left is a quiet hangout
The decorating, the Meeps and the mini-games still work, and a kid playing with real-life friends can have a pleasant time. It is no longer the busy social hub it was, and its reputation still draws some of the wrong players, so friends-only chat matters. MeepCity: The Roblox Icon That Had to Grow Up covers the history and settings in more detail.
For a kid who loves designing a space, Theme Park Tycoon 2 gives them more to build. For a kid who wants the social roleplay, Adopt Me! is busier and better maintained, with its own trading risks.
