A game is a group of places linked together that are designed to constitute a game as a whole. Places in a game are able to communicate with other places in that same game, and place teleportation is used to bring players from one place in a game to another. They also make sure you keep your things, such as EXP, items, gamepasses, etc, if that was what a developer wanted to do. Universes were suggested many years before their announcement, and its launch coincided with the release of The ROBLOX 2014 Winter Games.
