A cricket game · Season One · 2026
A cricket ground of your own — with boards that remember what you did, and honours that keep your name for good.
Free on Roblox. Phone, tablet or desktop.
How it plays
Thirty balls. Five batters. A fence to clear. There is no manual and no menu to work out — you watch the ball come down and you decide when to swing. Everything else in Pavilion is built on that one moment.
The record
In most games a score lasts until somebody beats it, and the list wipes when the season ends.
Pavilion keeps an honours board instead. Make a hundred and your name goes on the wall with the year beside it — numbered, permanent, and never pushed off by anybody else's innings. The wall always takes one more name.
It is the oldest idea in cricket, and it is the reason a player comes back: not to defend a position, but because the thing they did is still there.
Everyone also gets a debut number on their first innings — free, sequential, and nobody can take it off you. You are the Nth person ever to bat at Pavilion.
For parents
It is built for children, so the honest thing is to say exactly what it does and does not do — including the uncomfortable part.
No personal information is ever collected. Not an email, not an age, not a location. Pavilion knows a Roblox display name and a cricket score, and nothing else.
The honours boards carry a name and a number. No photographs, no locations, nothing that connects a name to a person.
Pavilion adds no chat of its own. There is no private channel, no voice, and no direct messaging built into the game — all chat is Roblox's, filtered and age-banded by Roblox.
There is a working deletion path. One command removes a player's whole record — profile, every board row, every honours entry. Built before launch, not after a complaint.
Nothing you can buy makes you better at cricket. The boards are not for sale.
Age bands and chat are enforced by Roblox itself, at platform level, not by a setting a developer can quietly loosen.
Pavilion is built on Roblox, and Roblox has been the subject of serious child-safety litigation. Anyone looking into this will find that, and they should.
It is not a reason to pretend otherwise. It is the reason the list above exists and is published — and every claim on it is one you can check by playing the game. Full detail on the privacy page.
Questions
Yes — every fixture, every board, multiplayer, all of it. There is one optional item, described below.
It was built for nine to fifteen year olds. Right now Roblox restricts every newly published experience to age-checked 16+ players until it reaches 500 engaged users, so younger players cannot find it yet. That is a platform rule, not a setting.
No. The early fixtures teach you one idea at a time, starting with nothing but watching the ball and timing the shot. Knowing cricket helps — but a lot of this was built so it wouldn't have to.
A life membership of the Pavilion Cricket Club, about £4, bought once. It puts your name and a number on the members' board and gives you a cap at the crease. It changes no score, unlocks no fixture and gives no advantage. It is a name on a wall and nothing more.
Chat is Roblox's own, banded by verified age — under-13s have it off by default, and nine-to-fifteens get it gradually with safeguards. Pavilion adds nothing on top of it — no private channel, no voice, no direct messages of its own.
Yes. Make a room, tell your friend the four-letter word, and you both land on the same ground on opposite pitches — with the same bowling at each end, so it is a fair match.
Yes, and that is what most of it was designed and tested on. Tablet and desktop work too.

Where it goes
No dates, because a one-person studio that publishes dates publishes fiction. What is finished sits beside what is planned, so you can judge the ratio yourself.
Direction, not promises. Some of it will change once there are players to learn from.
Who made it
Pavilion is built and run by Harry Wenham. Every line of it — the fixtures, the boards, the club — one person, over months, because cricket deserved a version of itself a nine-year-old could love on a phone.
Worth saying plainly rather than hiding behind a plural. It means the game is opinionated, and it means bugs get answered by the person who wrote them.
Why Pavilion exists — the longer answer, about an hour of cricket a week and the other six days.
Nobody has made a hundred at Pavilion yet. The first name on that board is there for good.
