Roblox game ID finder: the place ID from any game URL

Place ID, universe ID, asset ID, user ID

"Game ID" is not one number on Roblox. The place ID is the number in a game's public URL; every experience has a start place, a large one has more places behind it, and each has its own ID. The universe ID names the whole experience — what the developer APIs and the player-count charts key on — and it is a different number from any of its places. An asset ID identifies an uploaded thing: a hat, a decal, an audio file, and technically a place too (asset type 9). A user ID is the number in a profile URL. The asset ID lookup shows how these collide when the same digits are read in the wrong ID space; this page handles the place ID only.

Where the place ID appears

We sent twenty-one URL forms to www.roblox.com with a browser user agent on September 11, 2026, using the Blox Fruits, Adopt Me and Brookhaven start places, and kept the responses. Roblox treats the number as the identity and the name as decoration.

The parser mirrors the table: the digits after /games/ on any Roblox host, a placeId= parameter wherever it appears (which covers the roblox:// deep links the app uses), or a bare number. It does not trust stray digits inside ordinary text, so "join my game 2753915549" returns nothing until you paste the number alone.

Worked example: two URLs, step by step

First URL: https://www.roblox.com/games/2753915549/Blox-Fruits. The parser finds a Roblox host, then the path segment /games/ followed by digits, and stops at the next slash: 2753915549, ten digits, no leading zeros. The name that follows is discarded. Because a name segment is present the form is reported as a games URL. Output: place ID 2753915549, clean link https://www.roblox.com/games/2753915549. Roblox answered that link with a 301 to the canonical page, whose hidden metadata element carried data-place-id="2753915549" — the parse and the server agree. The same element carried data-universe-id="994732206"; more on that below.

Second URL: https://www.roblox.com/games/920587237. Same host, same segment, and the digits run to the end of the string: 920587237, nine digits. No name segment, so the form is a games URL without a name. Output: place ID 920587237, clean link https://www.roblox.com/games/920587237. Roblox answered with a 301 to /games/920587237/Adopt-Me, and that page declared data-place-id="920587237" and data-universe-id="383310974". The tool shows the first number and cannot show the second.

How to read the output

The Place ID is the number you came for; the line under it names the form it was read from and, when the host was not www.roblox.com, the host. The Universe ID cell always reads "not derivable" — a statement about this site, not about your URL. The clean game page link is https://www.roblox.com/games/<id> with nothing attached; Roblox redirects it to the named form itself. Copy ID copies the number, Copy link the clean link, and Copy share link this page's address with ?id=.

Limitations

• The universe gap. A place ID cannot be turned into a universe ID by arithmetic or pattern. The mapping lives on Roblox's servers; in the September 11 check the endpoint that answers it returned the number but sent no cross-origin header, so a page on this domain cannot read it, and this page fetches nothing anyway. For universe-level numbers — concurrent players over time is the usual reason to want one — the player-count history page resolves games to their universe on our own pipeline. For the ID itself, view the game page's source: both example pages carried it as data-universe-id on a hidden element with the id game-detail-meta-data.
• Private-server codes are not IDs. The string after privateServerLinkCode= is a key to one server, not an identifier for the game. The parser notes its presence, reports its length, and drops it from the clean link.
• Share links carry no place ID. The share-links?code=… URLs and the ro.blox.com wrappers around them hand a code to the app and never name the place. The tool says so and asks for the game page URL instead.
• Deleted, private and nonexistent places. The parser cannot tell a live place from a dead one. /games/1 and a fourteen-digit ID both redirected to /request-error?code=404; we did not probe a private place. A number that parses is a number, not a promise that the link opens.

Safety: share links can carry private-server codes

A private-server share URL looks like an ordinary game link with a long code on the end, and it is easy to paste one into a public post while meaning to share the game. The code is the invitation: anyone holding it can join that server. The parser separates it from the place ID so that what you copy from this page is the clean link, and flags its presence rather than echoing it back. Nothing here needs a login, and no page offering to "check" a game should ask for one.
