Published under the Builderman account, the ROBLOX World Headquarters (also known as "ROBLOX HQ") is a big brickbattle map that was created around mid-late 2006. It is a virtual representation of the ROBLOX headquarters, with its environment being a mix of different destructible structures scattered around the map.
