It says it will run using Wine.
"As of May 15th, 2015, ROBLOX is considered a "Gold" application in the Wine App Database."
I checked this statement in the link given and a further link that expands on it: unfortunately the statement is misleading as apparently out of 5 trials involving Ubuntu 14.04 or 14.10, 3 were rated as "rubbish", one "silver", and only one rated as "Gold"...
Furthermore, the link goes on to say:
"As of July 22th, 2015, ROBLOX games shut down after loading the place. According to the ROBLOX Linux Wrapper Github Issue Tracker page, Wine seems to have networking issues, others speculate that ROBLOX is detecting Wine as cheating software, and others are saying that an OS lock is in place, preventing Wine from running ROBLOX."
My son tells me he tried ROBLOX in Wine, within LL2.8 [setup(3) in sig], but without success. I haven't found any up-to-date references for Ubuntu 16.04 running ROBLOX in Wine, but will nevertheless give it a go with LL3.4 [in setup(4)]. I'll post back the results here as soon as we're done.
Many thanks again for your interest
Mike
