Server system: 18 max
maxPlayers = 18 in the official games API, unchanged since August. Roughly 2,700 players were live across all servers at the October 3 check, so full-ish lobbies are normal.
ZOO or OOF 2 Maps and Systems: Servers, Modes, Maps & the Round Loop
Quick answer: the systems are asymmetric hide-and-seek on up-to-18-player servers, wrapped in officially confirmed but unnamed gamemode, map, and challenge families. The named leads — Museum, Infected, Dinosaur — are creator reports, dated below.
Quick answer: how a round works
ZOO or OOF 2 runs asymmetric rounds on servers of up to 18 players: one side plays Animals who "escape the zoo", the other plays Zookeepers who "catch them before they get away" — the two objectives the official description states in full. Around that loop, the description confirms gamemodes, maps, challenges, animals, skins, and rewards as content families. What it never gives is the layer players usually want from a wiki: map names, mode rules, round timers, or catch mechanics. Those are published nowhere — not by the developer (no patch notes exist), and not by any established community source at the 2026-10-03 check. This page therefore documents the systems that are real, lists the reported names as reports, and marks the rest unknown.
Verified systems
What the APIs and description establish
Checked 2026-10-03.
Role system: two sides
Animal (escape) and Zookeeper (catch) are the only roles. No class or loadout system exists in official text; equipment names in creator reports are cosmetic families.
Update system: tags and timestamps
With no patch notes, the title tag ([UPD] on October 3, [X2🦴] September 24-27) and the updated timestamp are the official change signals players can actually watch.

Creator reports only — no official surface has ever named a map or mode for this game.

FAQ
Maps and systems questions
What maps are in ZOO or OOF 2?
Unlisted officially: the description confirms "different maps" without naming them. The only map name in circulation is a reported "new museum map" revamp from the September 2026 Dinosaur Update videos, and a tracker lists a "NEW ANIMAL & MAP!" event window for October 3-10. No official map list exists (checked 2026-10-03).
What gamemodes does the game have?
The description says only "different gamemodes". Creator videos report Hide & Seek, Infected, and a Dinosaur gamemode as leads; none is confirmed on an official surface, and no mode's rules have been published anywhere.
How big are the servers?
Up to 18 players per server, straight from the Roblox API's maxPlayers field — consistent across the August 15 and October 3 checks. That number anchors every coverage-and-escape plan on this site.
How long is a round and how does catching work?
Undocumented. No source publishes round timers, capture rules, or win conditions beyond the one-line role objectives. Guides on this site therefore plan in checklists and your own measurements instead of quoting numbers nobody verified.
