Adopt Me!

ah-DOPT me

Definition

One of the most-played games in Roblox history, focused on adopting and raising virtual pets — from common pets like dogs and cats to rare, limited-edition creatures worth thousands of in-game currency. Players can trade pets with others, decorate homes, and roleplay as parents and babies in a virtual family setting. The trading economy in Adopt Me! is complex and highly active, with some rare pets commanding significant real-world value in third-party markets. The game also features eggs that can be purchased with in-game currency (earned through play) or Robux.

Example Usage

I just traded a mega neon for a shadow dragon!

Note for Parents

Adopt Me! is largely safe and age-appropriate, but the pet trading system is worth understanding. Some children become deeply invested in the value of their virtual pets, and trade scams targeting younger players are common. Remind your child never to trade outside the official game interface, and that no trade is worth sharing personal information for.
