With the development of technology-driven virtual reality apps, education has become more permanent in the twenty-first century. In this context, game-based educational applications have emerged as leaders among the three-dimensional online gaming environments that significantly enhance the learning experience. These applications foster students' interactions with the interface and each other. One of these settings is Roblox, a multiplayer metaverse platform that encourages user interaction, interest, and inventiveness while supporting learning through play within the system. Learners acquire 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and learning and innovation skills, which are articulated as 21st-century talents. By focusing on 3D game features in their simulative nature, this study explores how more imaginative and interactive learning is realized in Roblox. Children between the ages of 9 and 12 who were playing Roblox were interviewed in a semi-structured manner using phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs, for this study. The descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the data that were gathered in this situation. It is possible to conclude that Roblox can be a viable medium for displaying and developing 21st-century abilities based on the experiences of young users who use the game.
