Growing Up • 1h 18m

Directed by Ann Shin • Documentary • 2025 • 79 minutes

After Katie is assaulted by a predator in Roblox—a virtual world with 78 million daily users—she teams up with Alex and Janae to expose what’s really happening in the metaverse. Their investigation uncovers disturbing truths: explicit games, hate groups, and unchecked predators thriving on platforms meant for kids. When a young gamer is kidnapped and a mass shooting occurs, their mission takes on chilling urgency. Dangerous Games reveals how platforms like Roblox fail to protect their youngest users—and why the stakes couldn’t be higher.
