About

Overview

Be a Gubby drops you into a chill, open map as a randomly chosen Gubby character, free to explore at your own pace. This guide covers the chat command that lets you pick your own look, how to find hidden objects around the map, how the rebirth system works, and what the game's rules are around reportable phrases.

Getting started as a Gubby

Step
In short Typing one chat command right after you spawn gets you into a Gubby you actually want to play as.

When you first join, the game assigns you a random Gubby. If you want a classic-faced Gubby that feels more like your own character, there is a quick fix you can do from chat.

  1. Join the game you earn the 'You joined!' badge automatically on your first visit.
  2. Open chat and type /unfreak this switches you to a classic-faced Gubby instead of the random one you spawned as.
  3. Skip the rebirth button for now rebirthing is currently broken, so do not expect it to work until an update fixes it.

Hidden objects and the badges they unlock

Tips
In short Touching specific hidden objects around the map unlocks badges and rewards.

Several badges are tied to finding and touching particular objects scattered across the map. Some badge hints are written in cipher, so read them carefully.

Tips worth knowing
  • Touch the yellow block somewhere on the map to unlock Fake C4.
  • Reach the top of the mountain to earn the Climbed the mountain! badge, which unlocks a Trophy.
  • Find the rainbow Coconut and touch it to unlock the rainbow potion.
  • Check the computer inside the house — it appears in one of the badge hints as a notable landmark.
  • Four hidden badges are numbered #1 through #4 in their hints; the clues point to the green mountain, the black cave, the computer inside the house, and a rock near the towers respectively.
  • The 'It was strewn across the living room' badge hints that a key item is hidden in that area of the map.

Points and the rebirth ladder

Table
In short Reaching 50,000 points at once and completing multiple rebirths are the two main progression goals, each with their own unlocks.

There are two overlapping goals in Be a Gubby: building up a large point total and completing rebirths. The first and second rebirth badges are currently marked unobtainable, so the earliest rebirth badge you can earn right now is the third.

Reportable phrases and server rules

Warn
In short Using specific banned phrases can get you reported to the game's public server and banned.

The game maintains a short list of phrases that are immediately reportable. Using them — or any term designed specifically to make other players uncomfortable — can result in a report to the official server and a ban.

Worth watching out for
The phrases 'sybau' and 'retroslop' are explicitly listed as bannable.
Any term made to make other players uncomfortable falls under the same rule, even if it is not on the named list.
Reports go to the developers' public server.
05

The owner badge and event badges

Check
In short Some badges depend on timing or rare encounters rather than exploration.

Not every badge is sitting on the map waiting for you. Two of them rely on circumstances outside your direct control.

  • Met the owner! earned by running into the developer in-game.
  • Happy Halloween! this badge was available only during the Halloween event that ran from October 1 to October 12 in 2025, and it is no longer obtainable.
  • If you see a badge marked UNOBTAINABLE on the badge list, it cannot be earned in the current version of the game.

Common questions

FAQ

How do I stop spawning as a random Gubby every time?

Type /unfreak in the chat as soon as you load in. This gives you a classic-faced Gubby rather than whichever random one the game picked.

Why can't I rebirth even after earning enough points?

Rebirthing is broken right now. There is nothing you can do on your end to fix it — wait for an update from the developers.

The badge hints look like garbled text. Are they supposed to be readable?

Yes, several hints are written in cipher. They are numbered #1 through #4, and each one encodes a map location.

Can I still get the Happy Halloween badge?

No. That badge was only available to players who were in the game between October 1 and October 12 in 2025. The event has ended and the badge is no longer earnable.
