The Smurfs are joining the growing list of iconic franchises launching games on Roblox. Smurfs Grow A Village, found only on Roblox, is an immersive and innovative take on the beloved Smurfs universe.

This isn't your typical tycoon game. Smurfs Grow A Village introduces players to the "do-it-yourself" genre, offering complete freedom and creative control. Build, customize, and design your dream Smurfs Village however you like.

The journey begins with the Smurfs welcoming you to their vibrant world, asking for your help to breathe life back into their village. With a simple farm plot and a few Smurfs, players can farm, mine, log, and explore -- all to expand their village into the thriving, bustling village of their smurfy dreams.

Whether you're exploring lush landscapes, gathering resources, or unlocking new ways to personalize your village, the possibilities are endless. Smurfs Grow A Village is a delightful adventure where creativity meets classic charm — because every Smurf village starts with a little blue inspiration!

The Smurfs franchise first captured hearts as a comic series in the 1950s before expanding into a global entertainment phenomenon with animated TV shows, blockbuster movies, and fan-beloved merchandise.

"We're thrilled to bring The Smurfs into the dynamic and creative world of Roblox," said Michael Herriger, CEO at Atlas Creative. "This game offers a unique opportunity to connect with fans old and new, inviting them to experience the magic of the Smurf Village in an entirely new way."

Smurfs Grow A Village is now available for free on Roblox via most platforms and devices.
