Pick the finish condition before the round starts. Gnome Squad and Speedy Thief ask for different results. The descriptions do not say you must choose only one.
Two published finishes
| Goal | Developer condition | What does not complete it |
|---|---|---|
| Gnome Squad | Escape with a full team and everyone gets out safely | Your own escape by itself |
| Speedy Thief | Complete a round in under 5 minutes | One fast pickup, or a round that ends at exactly 5:00 |
Gnome Squad's badge text is "Escape with a full team and make sure everyone gets out safely!" Speedy Thief's text is "Complete a round in under 5 minutes." Under five minutes means less than 5:00. The public records do not say when the timer starts or which event marks the finish. Check the in-game round result and the badge on your Roblox account. An outside stopwatch is not the award.
A 20-player server is the maximum server size from the experience record. It is not a published squad count.
Build a route you can repeat
For early practice, keep the first pickups near one entry-to-exit path. Add another room after you can finish the shorter version. This is planning advice. No source names a required door, hiding spot, or patrol pattern.
The Homeowner is the threat named by the developer. Line of sight, noise, crouch, stamina, and rescue rules are not published. Use the prompts in your session before you rely on one of those ideas. Details for the threat are on the Homeowner page, and the place itself is the Homeowner's house.
Full-team attempt
- Agree on the exit and on Gnome Squad before the group splits up.
- Call out who is still inside and who has reached the exit.
- Check that everyone is out. One successful escape is a different result from the badge condition.
- If the group does not get out safely, shorten the next route. Nothing public says whether a caught player can be revived.
Under-five-minute attempt
Practice the same short route until you know which actions cost time. Then try the timed goal without a new detour. The condition is the whole round, not only the entry or a single stolen item.
Speedy Thief had 34,261 recorded awards on October 4, 2026. Gnome Squad had 22,569. Those are population counts from that read, not the odds for your next try. See both badges under Badges.
If the badge does not appear
Open the badge on your Roblox account and compare it with the published sentence. Completing a step on this website does not grant a badge. For tracking problems inside the game, use the Sneaky Gnomes community rather than sending an account password to a fan site.
