It's hard for me to understand what you are saying
Are you talking about a game where you breakout of something like jail ?
Or
Are you talking abut a 'BREAKTHOUGH' idea for a game as in what will get you thousands of views very easily and be incredaibly popular ?

Ah ok,thanks for replying to the question
You have 2 paths to take really,each one rewarding though both have disadvantages

The 1st one is to look at the 'Roblox market' in this term i mean whats populr,look at certain games,what do they have in common and why do they attract the people they do ?
Most of roblox are kids from 7 and up so try not to make anything to confusing that they can't follow the concepts of.
The most important point of a game is not to anger gamers ! if they get angry they just quit and tell friends not to come !
So keep it easy,though challenging

Most games like this are
-Social games
-Rpg's (Role playing games)
-War games

The other is to do the similar things in the 1st path,but you look at whats not there.This helps you understand the 'Gap in the market' most people like new things,it attracts people very quickly and in few numbers,hard part is,is finding what to make and what will actually attract them
A quick method i would use is this
-Think of an adjective
-Think of a noun
-Think of a verb
And though this a new idea should be born :)
This could be
-Puzzler games

Now you have (Or still chosing) a path to pick you'll want to think of a theme
Time
-Past ?
-Present ?
-Future ?
Place
-Space
-Sewers
-Mountains
-Underwater

I hope this helps you think of what to make,though i cannnot throughly help you make a game that becomes popular as you want it to be.
But good luck,hope this helps.

All of Roblox's games are old. Make a new game based on an action-packed movie or book you read. If you hve building and maybe scripting knowledge you will get fron page. Trust me.

"One's game is only truely popular if it has an original idea"
@R3ge:
That's quite a good process to go through. It's given me an idea on a game :D
Though using other game's ideas and making them your own may make a popular game, you don't have the originality that quite a few 1st page games have. R3ge's second process is in my opinion, the best one to choose.

For ideas, maybe think about your interests/hobbies:
What do you like?
What do you enjoy doing?

For example: If you like riding dirt bikes or watching them, make a dirt bike game. If you like penguins (like me :D), make something with penguins in them, such as a South Pole RPG, Escape from the zoo etc.

Another thing to look at for game ideas is genre. On ROBLOX, there is a huge majority between some genres. From looking at the game genres, Funny, Adventure, War and Town & City are the most popular. Scary isn't too for behind. Sports is less popular but still has quite a few popular games. Fantasy, Ninja, Wild West & Skate Park aren't very popular.

Hope this helped :P

Another creepy horror game, except with some twists.
1. Not made 90% of free models.
2. Well built.
3. Takes place in the wasteland.
