Enter a Build a Scam Empire code in the in-game Codes menu to immediately apply luck boosts or grab starting cash. The developer MetaPlay Games releases these short strings through community channels and updates, and availability can change quickly.

Current Build a Scam Empire codes (September 2025)

The codes below are compiled from multiple current guides. Rewards and availability can vary by update; luck boosts are the most common payout, with money and a card drop reported by some sources.

  • whatevermeow — Luck boost (reported between +50% and +80% in recent guides).
  • secretboost — +80% Luck boost.
  • secretluck — +50% Luck boost.
  • test1 — 100 money.
  • heythere — 10,000 money.
  • updatewelcome — 10,000 money.
  • funnycard — One Flame card.
  • freemoney — Negative 1 money (a novelty code; not useful for progression).

Recently inconsistent or possibly expired: compensationjuly (listed as +120% Luck in some guides, but marked expired in others as of early September 2025). Try it first if you haven’t redeemed it yet; if the game reports “expired,” consider it retired.

Method 1 — Redeem codes in Build a Scam Empire

Step 1: Launch Roblox and open the Build a Scam Empire experience from its game page. Starting from the official listing ensures you’re on the current build and helps avoid private copies with different UIs.

Step 2: In the right-side menu, select the Codes button to open the redemption window. This brings up a single text field where you paste a code exactly as shown.

Step 3: Copy a code from the working list and paste it into the field, preserving capitalization and spacing. Codes are often case sensitive, so avoid typing manually when possible.

secretboost
secretluck
test1
heythere
updatewelcome
funnycard
freemoney

Step 4: Click the Redeem button and wait for the confirmation toast. If the code is valid, the reward applies instantly; luck boosts begin counting down right away if they are time-limited.

Step 5: Verify the reward in your current stats or inventory (money total, active boost icon, or card). If nothing changes and no message appears, re-open the Codes window and try again in a fresh server.

Method 2 — Find more codes reliably

Step 1: Bookmark a trusted codes roundup and check it after updates or weekend patches. Centralized lists are typically refreshed when the developer rotates codes.

Step 2: Join the official Build a Scam Empire Discord to catch announcements and event drops early. Look in channels labeled announcements or codes for new strings posted by moderators or the dev team.

Step 3: Check the Roblox game description and the developer’s Roblox group when a new update lands. Developers often post short-term compensation or celebration codes there alongside patch notes.

Step 4: Explore in-game for hidden codes placed on signs or UI prompts after content updates. Some guides report map-hidden strings that reward short luck boosts to help early progression.

Step 5: Set a calendar reminder to test codes monthly, as luck-boost codes frequently rotate. Using them promptly avoids missing time-limited bonuses.

Method 3 — Fix “invalid” or “already redeemed” code errors

Step 1: Re-copy the code and remove any leading or trailing spaces. Extra whitespace or altered capitalization is a common reason for the “invalid” message.

Step 2: Switch to a new public server and retry the redemption. Moving servers reloads your session and can resolve short-lived UI or network issues that block the success toast.

Step 3: Confirm you haven’t redeemed the same code on your account before. Most Roblox experiences allow one redemption per code per account; the system will report “already used” or remain unresponsive if it’s a duplicate.

Step 4: Test another code from the list to rule out expiration. If a second code works, the first one is likely expired or region-limited for your session.

Step 5: Retry after a client restart if the Codes button stops responding. Restarting the Roblox client clears minor UI glitches and restores the redemption modal.

For a quick boost, redeem a luck code first, then run your tasks while the timer is active. Check community channels regularly—new codes arrive without much notice and can disappear just as fast.
