It’s Riyadh Season until next March and Saudi Arabia’s biggest festival has followed its highly awarded campaign with a Roblox spectacular, created with games developer studio, The Gang, and Big Time Creative Shop.

The virtual world recreates the excitement and cultural highlights of the event with a blend of tourism, gaming and entertainment and several players from the US, UK and KSA will have the chance of winning 1 million Robux each for participating. Robux is the native currency for Robux and 1 million Robux has an equivalent value of over US$7,500.

Players can take part in treasure hunts and play games such as Obbys, Tennis and Whack-A-Mole, watch breathtaking fireworks and visit virtual destinations including Paris, Kuwait, Italy and South Korea.

The Roblox experience runs alongside the real-world Riyadh Season, which spans October to March offering six months of concerts, sporting events and cultural experiences. The programme combines both entertainment and heritage with events taking place at venues such as Boulevard City, Boulevard World and Kingdom Arena. First launched in 2019, Riyadh Season attracted over 18 million visitors in 2024, making it one of the world’s largest winter festivals. 

Big Time collaborated closely with The Gang in order to bring an experience that works as both a fun Roblox game and a faithful representation of the excitement that can be experienced at the 2025 Riyadh Season festival.

Max Proctor, CEO of The Gang, stated, “It has been a privilege for us to create Riyadh Season on Roblox. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is fast becoming the global epicentre of the gaming industry and so working with the Big Time Creative Shop team on the ground in Riyadh has been incredibly exciting. You can really feel the sense of enthusiasm, ambition and momentum within the Saudi gaming ecosystem.”

Throughout the season, players can collect golden tickets and combine UGC items to unlock a special Riyadh Season Robot avatar. The experience will evolve to include competitions with major prizes and regular content drops, including a new area themed around the upcoming Beast Land area and two new minigames based on the Boxing and Wrestling events. This will encourage players to return throughout the festival.
