Comic Relief US and Nickelodeon came together for the first time to launch the second annual Kids Relief campaign, Game to Change the World, and inspire kids to become a force for good within Robolox, and take positive actions beyond to benefit their communities. The virtual-to-real-world movement invites kids to take on virtual quests and real-life missions centered on community engagement and service.
The Kids Relief Simulator is back on Roblox with an all-new game with special guests Tony Hale, David Tennant and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as benevolent wizards who send players on quests and reward them with Karma once they've improved the world around them.
This experience centered on inspiring empathy, kindness and community also includes a Roblox scavenger hunt with top games like Nickelodeon's SpongeBob Simulator; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Tycoon; Highland Park RP; and HyperCatz.
