The next survey is being prepared.
Three kinds of badges
SummaryThere are sixteen badges in total, and the way you earn them differs quite a bit depending on the type.
- Event badges log in during a running event (past examples include the 10 Million, 20 Million, and 30 Million visit milestones, plus seasonal events like Halloween and Valentine's Day).
- Challenge badges complete specific in-game tasks such as finishing all three Traveling Trader challenges or clearing the Magician's challenges.
- Hidden badges find items or areas tucked away in the game world, like the Swift Halo or the Summer Halo hidden in the summer area.
- Developer-encounter badges be in the same room as the Owner, Co-Owner, or head developer SlugSlimey when they are playing.
Catching event badges before they're gone
Check
The game has run milestone events at 10 million, 20 million, and 30 million visits, plus seasonal events tied to holidays. Each one offered badges that are now unobtainable for anyone who missed them. A shutdown during or near an event is a sign that an update has just gone live.
- Log in during the event some badges are awarded just for entering the game during the event.
- Rejoin immediately after a shutdown, because shutdowns signal updates.
Fair play rules
WarnThe game's official description explicitly calls out spreading misinformation as something players must not do. The developers do not change records for friends or buyers.

Common questions
FAQI submitted my record but it hasn't appeared. What should I do?
The team receives hundreds of video submissions a day, so delays are normal. Head to the board wall inside the game — it walks you through how to get your record added yourself.
How do I earn the encounter badges for the Owner, Co-Owner, and SlugSlimey?
You need to be in the same room as each person while they are actually playing. Each badge is awarded separately, so you will need to cross paths with all three at different times.
What should I do when the game shuts down?
A shutdown means an update has just been released. Rejoin after the shutdown.
