Secret Update Shred the Secrets badges
Three new Shred the Secrets badges were added to the game's Roblox universe on July 29–30, 2026 and sat at zero awards until the Secret Update (Ending #3) event opened. They are all still being earned. The event ran July 31 20:00 UTC – August 3 15:00 UTC, and we confirmed after that deadline that these Shred the Secrets badges kept gaining awards — the content was not removed with the event. Award counts below were read from the official Roblox badge API on August 3, 2026 at 15:47 UTC. Full breakdown on our Ending 3 tracker.
| Badge | How to unlock | Earned |
|---|---|---|
| Whistleblower (Ending 3) | Complete Ending 3.The third ending's official name. Route still undocumented. | 31,196 |
| Industrial Revolution | Complete the Mad Scientist Quest.An entirely new quest line added with the update. | 20,853 |
| THE CAKE IS A LIE | Unknown — the badge description repeats its own name.Its count has tracked Industrial Revolution within a few hundred since launch (13,963 vs 20,853), so the two likely sit on the same path. | 13,963 |
The hidden Shred the Secrets badges
Eight Shred the Secrets badges are not earned by grinding a counter — they are earned by finding something the office is hiding. These are the ones people mean by “secret badges”. The found by column is the live award count from the official Roblox badge API, which is a far better difficulty signal than the star rating: the FBI badge is nominally 2-star but is the rarest discovery in the game.
| Secret badge | What you have to find | Found by |
|---|---|---|
| Tricked! | The fake exit — a decoy door built to catch players rushing the finish. | 264,607 |
| Let's Keep This Between Us | The Sketchy Coworker's Phone, stashed in a personal work area. | 214,670 |
| Keymaster | The key hidden inside Room 3. | 207,227 |
| Solid Gold | The Golden Shredder — a rare variant of the standard machine. | 197,265 |
| Dangerous Knowledge | Something you were not supposed to see. Found off the main route. | 95,902 |
| Joy Ride | The basement elevator. You must ride it out, not walk. | 87,462 |
| Intruder | The boarded-up doorway — every plank has to come off. | 55,057 |
| It's Not What It Looks Like | Getting caught by the FBI. The rarest discovery in the game. | 8,844 |

Fastest Shred the Secrets Badge-Hunting Order
Most Shred the Secrets badges fall out of normal play if you simply clear every room. A handful require deliberate detours. The order below collects the easy Shred the Secrets badges first so you can bank momentum, then spends effort exactly where it unlocks the rarest rewards.
- 1. Bank the freebies first — Welcome!, First Day on the Job, and Company Card land naturally in your first ten minutes of playing Shred the Secrets badge hunting.
- 2. Grind the counters passively — Paper Pusher, IT Department, Housekeeping, and Nosy Coworker fill up on their own if you open every cabinet and clear cobwebs as you farm. Pair this with the cash farming route.
- 3. Detour for the hidden Shred the Secrets badges — Tricked!, Keymaster, Intruder, and Joyride each need one deliberate detour; see the rooms and secrets walkthrough for where the fake exit, Room 3 key, boarded doorway, and basement elevator live.
- 4. Optimize for the 4-star money badges — Millionaire and Cooking the Books reward the same upgrade-first spending order you should already be using; Buzzer Beater wants a sub-45-minute run with maxed Movement Speed.
- 5. Save the endings for last — the ending Shred the Secrets badges (What?, Dark Secrets, Perfect Attendance) and Secrets? What Secrets? are cleanest with a practiced route or a full squad.
