The Hunt: Roblox 20 just got a second layer nobody saw coming. On top of the 20 regular badge quests, Roblox added 20 secret badges hidden inside five of the existing participating games — with 15 more dropping in batches before September 28. The first five are live right now. Each one has a unique prize, a specific prerequisite regular badge you must earn first, and steps that go well beyond anything in the main event. This guide covers every confirmed secret badge, exactly how to unlock each one, the prizes, and the full leaked drop schedule so you know when the next batch hits.
⚡ Quick Answer
Five secret badges are live in The Hunt: Roblox 20 as of September 20, 2026 — in Crossroads, Natural Disaster Survival, Work at a Pizza Place, Piggy, and Blade Ball. You must earn each game's regular badge first, then complete the hidden quest. Return to the hub after each one to claim your prize. Fifteen more drop in batches before September 26.
What Are The Hunt Secret Badges?
Secret badges are a hidden layer inside The Hunt: Roblox 20 that Roblox added on top of the standard 20-game event. They live inside the same participating games you've already been playing — but the quests are completely separate, more complex, and reward different prizes. Hub badge files confirm 20 secret badges total, labelled S01 through S20, each tied to a specific game.
The critical rule: you must earn the regular badge in a game before its secret badge quest unlocks. Don't skip the main quest and jump straight to the secret. The prerequisite is enforced — the secret quest will not appear until the regular badge is in your account.
📊 Key Stat: 20 secret badges are planned across 20 games, releasing in four batches of five before the event closes September 28. The first batch went live September 20. Hub files confirm badge codes S01–S20 and a leaked Roblox 20 Dominus badge code (R20D) as a potential bonus prize. (YouTube, September 2026)
Full Secret Badge Drop Schedule (All Four Batches)
According to leaked event files, all 20 secret badges release in four separate drops of five badges each. Here is the confirmed schedule in EDT:
| Drop | Date | Time (EDT) | Badges |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drop 1 ✅ LIVE | Sunday, September 20 | 2:30 PM EDT | S01–S05 (this guide) |
| Drop 2 | Wednesday, September 23 | 10:00 PM EDT | S06–S10 |
| Drop 3 | Thursday, September 24 | 5:00 PM EDT | S11–S15 |
| Drop 4 | Saturday, September 26 | 12:00 PM (Noon) EDT | S16–S20 |
⚠️ Important: The drop schedule is based on leaked event files — not officially confirmed by Roblox. Treat the dates as highly likely but not guaranteed. Bookmark this page and we will update the moment each batch goes live with the full steps. The event closes September 28 regardless.
Secret Badge 1 — Crossroads (Prize: Original Web Elements)
Prerequisite: Combat Initiation badge (regular Crossroads quest) must be earned first.
Once you have the regular badge, find the billboard with a house on it on the Crossroads map and press E to interact. This zooms out to reveal an unlimited crossroads — the secret quest starts here. Your objective is to find 4 gift boxes scattered around the map. Gift box locations are randomised so they won't always be in the exact same spots, but these are the confirmed locations:
- Gift 1 — Mountain top. Use the trowel tool to build a wall, then jump on it to reach the top. When grabbed the screen shows "1 out of 4".
- Gift 2 — Behind the arched bridge inside a glass panel. Use shift lock to clip through the glass. Once inside, drop a bomb to blow up the gift and collect it (2 out of 4).
- Gift 3 — Inside the castle. Find the yellow grate on a black wall and use the trowel tool to climb up to it.
- Gift 4 — Reset your character. Simply reset (die) and the fourth gift is automatically granted to you (4 out of 4).
💡 Pro Tip: Do Gift 4 (reset) last — resetting mid-search obviously kills you and wastes time. Clear gifts 1, 2, and 3 first, then reset to grab the fourth. After all 4 are collected return to the hub to claim the Original Web Elements prize.

Secret Badge 2 — Natural Disaster Survival (Prize: Personal Safety Spikes)
Prerequisite: Regular Natural Disaster Survival badge must be earned first.
This one is a server-wide team effort — you cannot solo it efficiently. Go to the bottom of the spawn area and click the very centre to enter a secret room. Inside the secret room, go left and click the screen that reads "False" — then type "True" to activate the special game mode.
- Activate the mode. Find the secret room at the bottom of spawn, click centre to enter, go left, change "False" to "True" on the screen.
- Collect hats from dead players. Every time any player dies during a round, they drop a hat. Work as a server team — recommended strategy is to have everyone reset simultaneously so one designated player can pick up all the hats at once.
- Deposit hats in the secret room box. Bring all collected hats back to the secret room and drop them into the specific collection box. The surviving player with all the hats needs to stay alive while doing this.
- Fill the box completely. Keep repeating rounds — collect hats from deaths, deposit them — until the box is full. Badge unlocks when the box reaches capacity.
📊 Server Strategy: This badge is designed for cooperation. Coordinate with other players in the server before starting — everyone resets, one person survives and collects all the dropped hats, deposits them, repeats. A disorganised server where everyone tries to survive normally is the slowest way to fill the box.
Secret Badge 3 — Work at a Pizza Place (Prize: Gear Hoarder Loadout Belt)
Prerequisite: Regular Work at a Pizza Place badge must be earned first.
This is the most complex secret badge in the first drop — it has a time machine, a memory game, a maths puzzle, and a final emoji cipher. Read the steps slowly before jumping in. The memory and maths sections vary per player so there's no universal code to shortcut — you have to play through and record your own numbers.
Getting to the Island and First Time Machine
- Go to the dock on the left side outside the pizza place and take a boat or car. Turn left from the dock, then left again at the pizza place to reach the original island with the time machine.
- Enter the first time machine code: 06212010. This is a fixed code — the same for everyone.
- Return to the pizza place and complete basic job tasks — cook pizzas, box them, deliver them.
Memory Game (Cashier Role)
- Use the phones at the cashier station to track incoming orders. Replicate the exact pattern sequence — left or right cashier — for each pizza ordered.
- Example: Pepperoni on left, then Pepperoni on left plus Sausage on right. There are 8 to 9 combinations to complete in sequence. Get one wrong and restart the sequence.
Maths Game (Cook Role) and Boxing Stage
- Numbers pop up on the cook screen. Subtract them from the displayed ingredient values. Example: Tomato Sauce shows 99, screen says 21 — subtract to reach 78. Click and drag away from an ingredient to subtract; click without dragging to add. Write down your final numbers.
- At the pizza boxing area, enter your final cook numbers into the code panel. This gives you a key.
Final Time Machine Emoji Cipher
- Return to the time machine and watch the screen for emojis. Note which emoji appears in which corner: Bottom Right = 1st number, Top Right = 2nd, Top Left = 3rd, Bottom Left = 4th.
- Match each emoji to a statue in the room. Examples: Chicken = Turkey, Skull = Skull and Crossbones, Cheese = Rat, Cake = 10th Anniversary. These assignments vary per player — yours may differ.
- Place the statues into the furnace in the correct corner order — 1st position on the left, 4th on the right.
- Enter the final code: 0919 2026. This is a fixed code. Badge unlocks on entry.
💡 Pro Tip: Write down every number from the maths game immediately — you will need them for the boxing panel. Players who skip this step have to redo the cook section. The memory game and maths game numbers are unique per player, so there is no universal answer to copy.
Secret Badge 4 — Piggy (Prize: Spark Wave Headset)
Prerequisite: Regular Piggy badge must be earned first.
- Select House — Chapter 1 and play against a Bot Pig. This mode is required for the secret quest to trigger.
- Obtain the Wrench through normal gameplay. The wrench drops as part of the standard Chapter 1 item sequence.
- Go to the basement and open the specific box with the wrench. This gives you a Shovel.
- Go to the backyard and use the Shovel to dig a hole. This reveals a hidden entrance to a time machine.
- Enter the time machine. It teleports you to a completely different map. Play this new map exactly like normal Piggy — find keys, unlock the front door, escape. Badge unlocks on successful escape.
💡 Pro Tip: Bot Pig is significantly easier to dodge than a player-controlled Pig. Use this mode — it makes the basement and backyard sections far less stressful. The time machine map plays identically to standard Piggy, so if you cleared the regular badge you already know what to do.
Secret Badge 5 — Blade Ball (Prize: Hands-On Experience)
Prerequisite: Regular Blade Ball badge must be earned first.
Setup
- Click "Codes" in the top right of Blade Ball and redeem the code serpent. This unlocks a new sword — equip it from your inventory before proceeding.
- Join or create a 6-player private server. This badge is best completed with a coordinated group.
Getting Boss Tokens
- Kill the bot in a round to receive a boss token. Each player needs their own token.
- After getting your token, go AFK and let the ball kill you instantly. This speeds up the round so the next player can get theirs quickly. Coordinate so everyone gets a token before moving to the boss.
Boss Battle — Three Stages
- Queue up. Once everyone has a token, go to the Event NPC and click the bottom button to enter the Boss Battle queue together.
- Stage 1 — Boss in the centre. Spread out as far as possible from the boss and from each other on the edges of the map. Parrying the boss's attacks speeds up its death.
- Stage 2 — Red lasers. Stand far away so balls take longer to reach you. Dodge red lasers to avoid damage — they come in predictable patterns.
- Stage 3 — Balls, lasers, and ground minions. Stay to the far left or far right edge of the map. This position lets you see red lasers the moment they spawn and gives maximum reaction time for incoming balls. Eliminate ground minions when they appear.
⚠️ Boss Rule: You can revive unlimited times but the revive timer extends with each death. If the entire team dies simultaneously — everyone is dead at the same moment — you fail the boss and must restart. Never all rush the boss at once. Spread out and keep at least one player alive at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are secret badges in The Hunt Roblox 20?
Secret badges are a hidden second layer of The Hunt: Roblox 20 — 20 additional badges inside the same participating games, with unique prizes separate from the main event rewards. Five are available now with 15 more releasing in three batches before September 26. You must earn each game's regular badge before the secret quest unlocks.
When do the next secret badges drop in The Hunt Roblox 20?
Based on leaked event files, the next three drops are: September 23 at 10:00 PM EDT (Drop 2), September 24 at 5:00 PM EDT (Drop 3), and September 26 at 12:00 PM EDT (Drop 4). These are from leaked files and not officially confirmed by Roblox. All must be claimed before September 28.
Do secret badges count toward the main Hunt reward track?
Secret badges award their own unique prizes separately — you claim them in the hub after completing each secret quest. They are separate from the main S1/M1 badge track that unlocks the seven standard free items including the Golden Rivals Domino Crown.
What is the Blade Ball code for The Hunt secret badge?
The Blade Ball code for the secret badge setup is serpent. Redeem it in the Codes section (top right) of Blade Ball to unlock a new sword. Equip the sword before starting the boss token phase. Without it the secret quest sequence won't progress correctly.
What is the Work at a Pizza Place final time machine code?
The first time machine code is 06212010 (fixed, same for everyone). The final time machine code is 0919 2026 (also fixed). Between them, the memory game pattern and maths game numbers are unique per player — write them down during your run as they can't be copied from someone else.
Final Thoughts
Five secret badges are live right now and 15 more are coming before September 26. If you've already cleared the regular badges in Crossroads, Natural Disaster Survival, Work at a Pizza Place, Piggy, and Blade Ball you can jump into the secret quests immediately. Crossroads and Piggy are the fastest. Pizza Place is the longest — don't skip writing down your maths numbers. Blade Ball needs a coordinated group — a solo attempt at the boss will take much longer.
