Rival Ducks

We buy into games that are already working.

We take a stake in Roblox games that are already live and earning, and then we put the whole company behind them: development support, our advertising network, monetization design, LiveOps and every tool we run — Pintail inside the game, Codex on the economy, Radar and Creator Discovery on the market. We are operators, so diligence runs on our own data and on playing the game.

What we do here.

Investment

A stake in games already live and earning, backed with development, advertising and monetization support.

  • A stake in a live experience, or the whole experience, at terms we explain: we buy into games that are already earning, sized to the stage, and we say which structure we are proposing before we propose it.
  • Diligence on the full history rather than a deck: retention, live players, chart position and genre momentum over the game's entire life on Radar, plus the game played by the people who will work on it.
  • After the deal, the whole company behind the game: development support from our own designers and engineers, our advertising network, monetization design tested in Codex, LiveOps and the creators Creator Discovery finds first.
  • Pintail inside the game from day one: close to a thousand live signals per player, AI-driven segmentation, personalised offers and hundreds of concurrent experiments, so every decision after the deal runs on live data.

Consulting & Advisory

Due diligence and strategy for investors and companies entering Roblox.

  • Independent diligence on a studio or a game you are looking at, on verified history: every reading Radar has taken, what the numbers mean in that genre, and what a chart position is actually worth.
  • Market reads for investors and companies: which genres are growing, where the players are, how the economy of a Roblox game works and where the value sits.
  • Entry strategy for companies with no Roblox team yet: build, publish, partner or acquire, with the numbers behind each route and the people who have done all four.

Diligence on the full history.

We back games on verified numbers, not decks: every reading Radar has ever taken, kept forever. What the platform is doing today:

How it works.

  1. 01

    Intro

    Send the game or the deck. We look before we ask you for anything else: the game's full history on Radar tells us most of what we need to know before the first call.

  2. 02

    Diligence

    We pull the full history, play the game, simulate its economy in Codex and talk to the people who built it. Weeks, not months, because the data is already ours.

  3. 03

    Terms

    We put a structure on the table and explain how we arrived at it: the stake, the support behind it and what the game gets from the company on day one.

Questions we get asked.

What does Rival Ducks invest in?

Roblox games that are already live and earning. We take a stake in the game or the studio, or buy the whole experience, and we back it afterwards with development support, our advertising network, monetization design and every tool we run. Games that have not shipped yet are a publishing conversation instead.

How does Rival Ducks value a Roblox game?

On its full history, not on a deck: retention, live players, chart position and genre momentum over the game's entire life on Radar, its economy simulated in Codex, and the game played by the people who will work on it. A loop that keeps players and a team that keeps shipping matter more than the size of the audience today.

Do you take equity or buy games outright?

Both. A stake in a live game or its studio, sized to the stage, or the whole experience. We say which structure we are proposing before we propose it, and we explain how we arrived at the terms.

What happens to a game after Rival Ducks invests?

It gets the company. Development support from our designers and engineers, our advertising network, monetization design tested in Codex, LiveOps, the creators Creator Discovery finds first, and Pintail inside the game from day one. The team keeps building; we bring the pipeline.

Can investors or companies hire Rival Ducks for due diligence on Roblox?

Yes. We run independent diligence on a studio or a game you are looking at, on verified history, and we advise investors and companies on the market: which genres are growing, where the players are and what a position is worth. We also plan entry for companies with no Roblox team yet.

How long does diligence take?

Weeks, not months. The data is already ours — every reading Radar has taken on the game — so most of the work is playing the game, simulating its economy and talking to the people who built it.

Work with us.

Your game is live and earning. Send the game or the deck; we look before we ask for anything else.
