In less than two months, a user-created game on Roblox named Grow a Garden has gained incredible popularity, surpassing even some of the top games on Steam. Launched on March 25, the game has achieved a staggering 1.9 billion visits and over 1 million favorites, with a peak of 5 million concurrent players.
Grow a Garden allows players to purchase seeds, which they can grow into enormous crops before harvesting and selling them for profit. The game also features pets that can grow to giant sizes and provide bonuses to garden productivity. This engaging gameplay loop has clearly captivated a substantial audience.
The identity of the game’s teenage creator remains undisclosed, but management has transitioned to a studio called Splitting Point. Following its rise in fame, a dedicated wiki has emerged, and numerous players are sharing videos of their gameplay on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.
One of the reasons for Grow a Garden’s success is its accessibility; the game is designed for all ages, making it suitable for the entire Roblox community. This is especially relevant given Roblox’s recent restrictions on children in social hangout areas. Although Roblox is currently under investigation by the SEC, details about the inquiry remain limited.
