Two escape goals, two different conditions
| Goal | Developer’s condition | What does not establish it |
|---|---|---|
| Gnome Squad | A full team escapes; everyone gets out safely | Your own escape alone |
| Speedy Thief | Complete a round in under 5 minutes | A single quick pickup, or a round taking exactly 5 minutes |
Build a route you can repeat
For early practice, choose an entry-to-loot-to-exit path and keep your first pickups near it. Add another room only after you can finish the shorter version. This is a route-planning recommendation; we do not claim a particular door, hiding place or patrol pattern.
Keep the Homeowner in mind as the threat described by the developer. Our sources do not establish line-of-sight, noise, crouch, stamina or rescue rules. Use the actual in-game prompts and what happens in your session before relying on one of those mechanics.
For a full-team attempt
- Agree on the intended exit and the team goal before spreading out.
- Use clear calls about who is still inside and who has reached the exit.
- Check that everyone has made it out; a personal successful escape is not the same as the complete badge condition.
- If the team cannot finish safely, use the result to shorten the next route. No claim is made about whether a downed player can be revived or rescued.
For an under-five-minute attempt
Practice the same short route until you know which actions cost time. Then attempt the timed goal without adding unfamiliar detours. Prioritize completing the round, because the official condition refers to the whole round rather than only entering or taking loot.
Under five minutes means strictly less than 5:00. The source does not reveal when its timer starts or which game event records completion. Check your in-game round result and Roblox badge award; an external stopwatch alone cannot certify that the game awarded it.
Check the result
Open the relevant Roblox badge entry if an award is unclear. Badge names and descriptions below come from the same Gnomes universe, so you can distinguish the conditions without relying on advice for a different gnome game.
