“Unusually loyal — D30 of 1.6% and ARPPU of 420 R$ are both above genre median. Almost no discovery: 22% Home Recs. The thumbnail is the whole problem.”
Scout is in its founding cohort. Founding members get drop one, which publishes as soon as five listings pass our checks — we would rather be late than pad a drop to hit a date. We will not print a number here we have not earned.
Why these numbers are worth something
Anyone can send you a screenshot of a dashboard. Screenshots are trivial to fake and impossible to check. Here is what we do instead.
We pull the exports
The seller ranks our account into an analytics role and we download the CSVs from Creator Hub ourselves. That is what the verified badge means.
We check them against themselves
Revenue has to equal ARPPU times payers. Dates have to be contiguous. Retention has to decay. Anything that fails gets flagged on the listing.
We check them against Roblox
Live CCU, lifetime visits and the game's creation date come from Roblox, not the seller. A doctored export that agrees with itself still fails this.
Every listing carries the same fields
So you can compare two games in ten seconds instead of reading two different decks.
The numbers
DAU and trend · D1 / D7 / D30 retention · MRR in Robux and USD · ARPPU · payer conversion · qualified play-through rate · Home Recs share.
The context
Why they're selling · asking range · how long it's been live · every data-quality flag we raised while checking it.
Our read
What the game actually needs, who should buy it, and what multiple it's worth — priced off genre lifespan and player loyalty, not this month's revenue. Healthy games land at 8–14×. Burnouts get 3–5×, and we say so.
Who's writing the notes
Scout is run by Marissa Cheves, founder of Smokestack Games. We operate our own Roblox game — Borders RTS, 8.9M visits, 43K favorites, front-paged by Roblox five times. When a listing says the monetization is untouched or the discovery is broken, that read comes from someone who has fixed both on their own title.
