To celebrate Pride month, Roblox is collaborating with got2b and Jung von Matt NERD to create the iconic Christopher Street in New York. The street has been the epicentre for Pride and the community for years, with the Stonewall Inn, a bar that started the rights movement in 1969. The limited time event includes two mini games where users can learn about the history of the LGBTQIA+ community, from the meaning of the rainbow flag, to historical references and key events. A fun and engaging way to celebrate the community!
