Where the numbers come from

Not every number on a Roblox fan site means the same thing. Here is what ours mean and what they do not.

Where do the player counts come from?

Roblox publishes public stats for each experience. SecretBlox saves those stats once an hour. That gives us the current count and the history used in the charts, on the live leaderboard, on every game we track and on each game's own stats page, such as Blox Fruits player count.

If we miss an hour, we leave the gap alone. We do not guess what the number might have been.

How are games ranked?

Popular now is sorted by the latest player count. Trending looks at which games gained the most players during the chart period. Up and coming looks for games that are growing and starting to draw more searches.

Sponsored cards are separate from the list. Paying for an ad cannot move a game up the ranking.

Does “active” mean you tested the code in the game?

No. Roblox does not offer a public way for a fan site to redeem every code. “Active” means a source for that game still lists the code as active. We show when we last saw it there. If the sources disagree, we mark the code unverified or leave it off the page. The Blox Fruits codes list shows the source and date beside every row, as does the Murder Mystery 2 codes list.

Where do item values come from?

Most Roblox games do not publish trade prices. Every value here is an estimate, not a promise that another player will accept the same trade.

Values are surveyed from multiple community sources. Our own algorithm then sets the published number from that survey, weighing how closely the sources agree, how many traders each source reaches, demand, how recently each number moved, and how far the lists disagree. The published value is always a real observed number; we do not average a wide disagreement into a falsely precise one. Open an item to see the observed range and how many observations support it. The method is the same on every list: Blox Fruits values, Murder Mystery 2 values and Adopt Me values.

What do the source labels mean?

  • Secondary community value list: a number published by another public value guide.
  • Creator-provided data: information sent by the game's creator through an authorized feed.
  • First-party community observation: a structured report collected directly by SecretBlox.
  • Secondary editorial reference: research or analysis published outside the original market event.

A second label says whether we retained a published value, a published range, a recorded trade sample or an editorial estimate. That keeps the source of the evidence separate from what was observed.

Several websites are not automatically several independent sources. If we cannot establish that their data is independent, they count as one evidence group and the page says so.

What does confidence mean?

For structured estimates, confidence rises when evidence is recent, high quality and independent, when sample sizes are larger, and when the observed values agree and remain stable. Missing evidence lowers the score instead of being guessed. Low confidence means the available evidence leaves a wide range; it does not turn the guide value into a fact.

Votes from the trade calculator are community sentiment: they can flag a number for review, but they do not change values automatically and are not treated as recorded trade prices. The Blox Fruits trade calculator, Murder Mystery 2 trade calculator and Adopt Me trade calculator all price a trade from these same values.

Why does one game have more tools than another?

The game has to support the tool, and we need information we can keep up to date. That is why a trading game may have values and a calculator while another game only has player stats.
