The wildly popular Roblox game Grow a Garden is heading to the big screen, with the film being developed by Story Kitchen – and the original creators are directly involved in the project.
If you’ve ever played Grow a Garden, you already know why it became such a phenomenon. The idle multiplayer farming simulator lets players plant, water, and harvest all kinds of crops as they grow their own virtual gardens. It’s a simple idea, but it struck gold with Roblox fans. By 2025, the game’s player numbers skyrocketed, even surpassing Fortnite at certain points. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood took notice.
Story Kitchen Teams Up with Original Developers
According to an exclusive report from Deadline, Story Kitchen has officially confirmed that it’s producing a Grow a Garden movie. The studio is known for adapting video games and pop-culture hits into film and TV projects. What’s even more exciting is that the original game developers will also serve as producers, helping shape the story and creative direction.
Story Kitchen co-founders Dmitri M. Johnson and Michael Lawrence Goldberg shared their enthusiasm in a statement to Deadline:
“Grow a Garden is exactly the kind of imaginative, heartfelt world we love to adapt – an uplifting story-world rooted in play, creativity, and community.”
What to Expect from the Grow a Garden Movie
Specific plot details and a release date haven’t been announced yet, but early reports suggest the film will stick closely to the game’s themes – focusing on friendship, creativity, and the joy of nurturing life. Since the original concept is open-ended, the adaptation has plenty of room to explore new ideas while keeping the charm that made Grow a Garden a hit in the first place.
Story Kitchen already has several other game adaptations in development, including Shinobi, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Split Fiction, and Tomb Raider. With Grow a Garden, the studio seems poised to create something truly wholesome and family-friendly – something that captures both the fun of Roblox and the magic of growth and community.
Fans Are Excited – and Curious
Fans of the game are already buzzing with questions. How will a game about growing plants translate into a full movie? Will it feature any of the iconic Roblox-style visuals or characters? Most importantly, will it keep that cozy, laid-back vibe that made Grow a Garden so addictive?
Whatever the case, it’s exciting to see another Roblox title break into mainstream entertainment. With the original developers involved and Story Kitchen’s experience adapting games, there’s reason to be hopeful that this film could blossom into something special.
