MALOCH Badges Guide: Welcome and You Escaped Explained

What Are the MALOCH Badges?

Your MALOCH badges checklist has two names: Welcome and You Escaped. Tracking MALOCH badges gives your runs a clear goal while you learn to survive an office building where noise can expose you. The escape is the challenge to prepare for: something is roaming your workplace, and careless movement can turn a search into a chase.

As of October 20, 2026, these are the game's two badges and their recorded award totals:

Badge	Times awarded
Welcome	192,728
You Escaped	1,411

Those figures are award counts, rather than completion percentages. They show a substantial gap between the two badges, but they do not tell you how many attempts an escape takes or your chances of surviving a particular run.

The setting explains why escaping demands attention. You're trapped inside an empty office building during a snowstorm, with an enemy that can hear you. Exploring means opening doors and searching rooms, yet those same actions can draw trouble toward you.

For your badge checklist, keep both names handy and check your Roblox badge collection as you play. For your escape attempts, focus on the mechanics that directly affect survival: noise, flashlight exposure, doors, and hiding spaces.

MALOCH is under active development, and its October 20 build carries a warning about bugs. Keep this guide's date in mind when comparing the badge set with future updates.

Welcome: Track Your Starting Badge

Welcome has 192,728 recorded awards as of October 20. It is the more widely awarded of the two MALOCH badges, making it a straightforward place to begin your completion checklist.

Check your badge collection early so you know whether Welcome is already there. Then keep your attention on learning the building. Use ordinary exploration to practice recognizing doors, identifying usable hiding spaces, and noticing which actions raise your noise level.

Before committing to a longer attempt, work through this short preparation list:

• Read the in-game instructions about sound and movement.
• Locate the noise meter and watch it while moving.
• Look closely at potential hiding spaces before a chase.
• Pay attention to the rooms and doors around your route.

The opening area begins on floor three. Use that starting stretch to get oriented instead of immediately rushing through every doorway.

Give yourself a specific learning goal for each attempt. Practice moving quietly, recognizing a hiding place, or navigating back through a room you just searched. Those goals follow directly from the problems you'll face while trying to escape.

Keep the checklist simple: Welcome is one badge to track; surviving the building is the larger task ahead.

You Escaped: Prepare for the Escape Objective

You Escaped is the escape badge, with the description “Congrats” and 1,411 recorded awards on October 20. Its objective fits the central task of MALOCH: find a way out of the office building.

The challenge is reaching that outcome while the enemy interrupts your exploration. You need to search, but searching creates movement and noise. You need somewhere to retreat, but an unfamiliar room can leave you scrambling for a hiding place.

For this part of your MALOCH badges checklist, prepare around three priorities:

1. Explore deliberately. Search a room with an awareness of how you'll leave it.
2. Manage your sound. Use quieter movement when the enemy is nearby.
3. Recognize cover early. Find potential hiding spaces before you need to use one.

Filing cabinets are part of the search activity, so distinguish them from lockers. A locker and a filing cabinet have different purposes during exploration; checking the wrong furniture wastes attention while the enemy is moving around.

Avoid building an escape plan around outrunning the enemy through a long hallway. It can close distance quickly once a chase begins. Look for nearby doors and usable hiding spaces as you explore, rather than waiting until you're already being pursued.

Optional Passes and Their Prices

MALOCH offers two game passes:

Game pass	Price	Stated feature
Infinite Lives	79 Robux	Infinite lives
NVG	69 Robux	Better vision in dark places

NVG addresses visibility in dark areas. Keep its purpose separate from the stealth decisions you still need to make: how loudly you move, which doors you open, and where you retreat.

Before buying either pass, consider the problem you're trying to solve. If you're struggling to recognize rooms and hiding spaces, spend time learning those details during your runs. Understanding the layout and noise system gives your next attempt a clearer purpose.

Stealth Tips for Your Badge Runs

The main obstacle between you and the escape is maintaining enough control to keep exploring. MALOCH's enemy responds to sound, and your flashlight can also expose your position.

Watch the noise meter while you move through the office. Use it as feedback for your actions, especially when the enemy is close. Keep your attention on what you're doing as well as where you're going.

Control Movement and Voice Noise

Crouching produces less noise than walking, jumping makes noise, and voice chat contributes to your sound. These mechanics make unnecessary activity a liability during a tense search.

Action	Relevant mechanic	Practical tip
Crouching	Makes less noise than walking	Crouch when moving near the enemy
Jumping	Produces noise	Avoid unnecessary jumps during quiet exploration
Opening doors	Creates audible noise	Check your surroundings before opening another door
Using voice chat	Contributes to noise	Keep voice communication brief near danger
Using a flashlight	Can expose you visually	Pay attention to where you aim the beam

Keep your MALOCH badges attempts focused on controlled movement. If you're jumping while searching or repeatedly opening doors without checking the room, slow down and watch how those actions affect your noise meter.

Voice chat deserves particular attention when playing with others. Treat speaking as part of your movement decisions: time communication around the danger nearby instead of talking continuously while trying to stay quiet.

Use Doors Without Depending on Them

Doors create a tradeoff. Opening them lets you explore and gives you routes through the building, but it also produces sound. Closing one during a chase can help interrupt pursuit, while damaged doors show why a closed doorway cannot be your entire escape plan.

Before moving deeper into an area, identify the doorway you would use to leave. Once you're inside, look for another usable route or a hiding space.

Situation	Action to consider
Entering an unfamiliar room	Locate its exit and inspect potential hiding spaces
Opening a door to search	Listen for the enemy before continuing
Being chased through a doorway	Close the door and continue toward another escape option
Finding a broken door	Reassess the route instead of depending on that barrier

Avoid repeatedly opening every door simply to make the floor feel more accessible. Explore with a purpose, and remember that each interaction can add noise.

Identify Hiding Spaces Before a Chase

Look for lockers and suitable spaces beneath desks or benches. Inspect furniture carefully: a surface you can crouch under is not automatically a dependable hiding place.

During a chase, unfamiliar furniture becomes difficult to judge. Make those decisions earlier, while you still have time to look around.

As you search a room, ask yourself:

• Is there a usable locker nearby?
• Is there a suitable hiding space beneath the furniture?
• Which door leads back toward an area I recognize?
• Am I about to enter a hallway without an obvious retreat?

Avoid spending the entire chase searching for cover. Recognizing a potential hiding place during exploration gives you a destination when the enemy appears.

Completion Order for Both Badges

For the October 20 badge set, organize your MALOCH badges checklist around Welcome and then You Escaped. Use the early part of your playtime to check your collection and learn the systems that affect survival.

Order	Focus	Action
1	Welcome	Check your Roblox badge collection for Welcome
2	Sound awareness	Watch the noise meter while walking, crouching, and interacting
3	Room awareness	Identify filing cabinets, doors, and usable hiding spaces
4	Escape preparation	Explore with a retreat route in mind
5	You Escaped	Work toward leaving the office, then check your badge collection

This is a practical completion order, not a prescribed route through the building. Keep your immediate objective manageable: search the room, identify your retreat, and move on with an understanding of the space behind you.

When a run ends badly, identify the decision that left you exposed. Did you make unnecessary noise? Did you enter a long hallway while being chased? Did you mistake ordinary furniture for a hiding spot?

Change that decision on the next attempt. Crouch near danger, recognize hiding places earlier, and account for the noise from opening doors.

For a checklist of the two MALOCH badges covered here, track:

• Welcome
• You Escaped

Start your next attempt from the official MALOCH Roblox page, and give the noise meter your attention from the opening floor onward.
