A guide for parents
RBV-Studio makes games for every age and apps for teenagers and grown-ups. Here is who each one is for, what costs money, how players talk to each other, and the settings that help.

Our promises in games for younger players
- No loot boxes and no paid random items. Anything for sale is a fixed item you see before you buy.
- No way to fail, and nothing taken away while a player is away.
- Players send each other ready-made, friendly messages; names they type pass through the platform's filter first.
- No voice chat and no ads.
Apps we make for teenagers and grown-ups, such as MyPooTime, say clearly that they are 13+ and are not built to these rules.
Penguin Hotel Tycoon
What it is
Each player grows a two-room inn on a snowy island into a grand hotel, decorates its rooms and looks after penguin guests. Around the hotels there are games to play with friends in the world: a snowball fight in a snow fort, sled races, big-ball football, ice fishing, ice sculpting and a parachute drop from the hotel roof, with karts, snowmobiles and boats to get around. Up to eight players share an island.
Content
We build it to the level Roblox calls Mild, for one reason: inside the snow fort, players throw snowballs and foam toys at each other in teams. Nobody gets hurt or knocked out; a hit leaves a splat of snow. Everywhere else on the island there is nothing of the kind.
Money
Nothing is for sale; everything is earned by playing. If we add optional extras later, such as hotel themes or outfits, they will be fixed items paid with Robux, Roblox's own currency, and the spending limits you set on Roblox always apply.
Other players
What the game lets players send each other, such as postcards and likes on a room, is ready-made. Hotel and facility names go through Roblox's text filter. Roblox's own text chat works as it does across Roblox, following your child's account settings, and voice chat is off in this game.
Breaks
Nothing punishes stopping. A daily gift grows when a player comes back the next day; after a missed day it simply starts again.
MyPooTime
MyPooTime is made for teenagers and grown-ups and isn't meant for children under 13. It has chat with friends, a map of nearby players whose pins are deliberately fuzzy, ads, and an optional premium plan. It comes out in early 2027 and will publish its own privacy policy before then. For younger children we make games like Penguin Hotel Tycoon.
Settings that help
- Roblox: link a parent account to your child's, set monthly spending limits, limit or turn off chat, and choose which content levels your child can join, with Roblox's parental controls.
- iPhone and iPad: set age limits for apps, purchases and screen time with Screen Time.
- Android: manage apps and purchases with Google Family Link and Google Play's content restrictions.
What we keep about players
Penguin Hotel Tycoon saves progress to the player's Roblox account; we don't ask for or keep names, email addresses, ages or locations. The details are on our privacy page.
