Roblox has risen to popularity over the past few years because it offers something different for everyone. Whether you're a person who loves to develop games, play them obsessively, or like to try something new every day, Roblox offers that.
Within the platform, players can choose from different games, developed by anyone, and played with people all around the world. "All the online games you see on the platform have been built by members of the Roblox community for members of the Roblox community," Roblox's website explains.
There are thousands of different games developed by people who love the platform and one game, Treacherous Tower, is one of the more popular ones. In this game inside Roblox, developed by FunNetwork Studio, players try to make it to the top of the tower, while 16 other players are in the game, too. The tower changes every minute, which means new dangers around every corner making the challenge to get to the top not as easy and simple as it sounds.
The game had over 277 million visits since it was created in October 2019, and then, on June 23, 2020, it just disappeared.

Hi, I liked playing a game called Treacherous Tower, but now something happened to it and it's very inappropriate now. It's currently called "John Doe Is Insane BRUHH dance with meh." I'm kinda scared my account might get banned/terminated for playing it, even though I did

FunNetwork Studio took to Twitter to share the news that yes, Treacherous Tower was hacked, and the news went worse from there.
"We are aware of what happened today and we are very sad," the Roblox creator wrote on Twitter. "A new map of the treacherous tower was created, unfortunately all data has been lost."
For players who had spent a lot of time building their game, all the data and stats were gone. "I know that many of you had many things, we apologize for what happened, we create a code for you, use 'NoDied' for 3000 free coins!" the tweet continued.
