Grow a Garden is the most successful Roblox game launch of all time, smashing every concurrency and revenue record. This analysis covers the core loops, viral mechanics, monetization design, and the reasons behind its explosive — if potentially short-lived — popularity.

It came from an uncompromising focus on friction: device access, UI latency, player psychology, and a monetization model built to work under the strictest Roblox constraints. This is how the game achieved a 91%+ rating at over 204,000 MAU, all while spending less than $500 on ad campaigns.
