Dig to Escape Badges: How to Unlock Every Badge and Ending Reward in Roblox

Learn how Dig to Escape badges work, which endings award them, how rarity is measured, and the fastest way to unlock and equip every badge in the lobby.

What Are Dig to Escape Badges?

Dig to Escape badges are the permanent trophies of the game. Diamonds are useful, but badges are what other players actually see the moment you spawn into the lobby — they're the clearest proof that you found a way out. If you've ever wondered why someone is wearing a shiny icon beside their name while you're still swinging a pickaxe at the same wall, the answer is simple: they finished an ending, and dig to escape badges are how the game records it.

Unlike in-run currency, badges can't be lost, spent, or traded away. Once one lands on your profile, it stays there forever, which is exactly why the community treats them as the real scoreboard.

There are a few broad categories worth understanding before you start chasing them.

Badge Category	How You Earn It	What It Signals
Ending badge	Reach any of the game's endings	You completed a full escape route
Main-ending badge ("Dug to Escape")	Finish the main ending	You cleared the headline route
Low-rarity badge (e.g., Rooftops Escape)	Clear an ending most players fail	High-difficulty, low-win-rate clear
Lobby display badge	Equip an unlocked badge from the lobby	Cosmetic flex value

The main ending is the headline prize. According to IGN's Dig to Escape endings guide, completing the main ending awards 15 Diamonds plus the "Dug to Escape" badge, which can be equipped from the lobby. Other routes hand out their own badges, and community guides report that all three endings together add up to 45 Diamonds.

Why Badges Matter More Than Diamonds

Diamonds get spent. Badges don't. That single difference is why experienced players chase endings rather than farming ore. A badge also functions as a shortcut for other players — someone wearing a low-rarity badge is signaling that they know the map, the timing, and the route.

If you're playing with random teammates, a badge is often the only credential you have before the round starts.

Ending Rewards and Badge Unlocks at a Glance

Dig to Escape is structured around multiple endings rather than a single finish line. Each one is a distinct route with its own difficulty curve, and each one pays out separately. That structure is what makes the badge system work: you can't unlock everything in one clean run, so your badge collection doubles as a checklist of routes you've completed.

Here's how the rewards break down based on the sources currently available.

Reward	Amount / Type	Notes
Main ending payout	15 Diamonds	Confirmed in IGN's endings guide
Total across all three endings	45 Diamonds	Community-reported combined total
Main ending badge	"Dug to Escape"	Equippable from the lobby
Other ending badges	One per ending	Also equippable from the lobby
Rarity tracking	Community badge trackers	Award counts and win rates, not official

The practical takeaway: if you only chase one ending, you're leaving roughly two-thirds of the available Diamonds and at least two badges on the table.

Does the Order You Finish Endings Matter?

Not for badge unlocks. Each ending registers independently, so you can tackle them in whatever order suits your skill level. What does matter is whether the completion screen actually loads before you leave the server — more on that in the troubleshooting section.

How Badge Rarity and Win Rates Work

Rarity is where dig to escape badges get interesting. Roblox doesn't publish an official rarity tier for every badge, so the community fills the gap with tracker sites that log award counts and recent win rates.

The "Rooftops Escape" badge is a good example. Community badge trackers list it as having been awarded over 530,000 times, with a recent win rate hovering around 0.4%. That number is worth unpacking, because it's easy to misread.

Stat	What It Actually Tells You	Example (Rooftops Escape, community-reported)
Award count	Total times the badge has ever been granted	530,000+ awards
Recent win rate	Share of recent attempts that ended in a successful unlock	~0.4%
Creation date	When the badge was added to the game	December 2025

A 0.4% win rate does not mean 0.4% of players have it. It means that out of roughly 1,000 recent attempts, only about 4 succeeded. Since a single determined player can make dozens of attempts, the actual share of the player base holding the badge is higher than the raw number suggests.

Reading Rarity the Right Way

When you're comparing badges, look at all three stats together:

High award count + low win rate = a badge that's been around a while and is genuinely hard.
Low award count + low win rate = either a new badge or an extremely obscure route.
High award count + high win rate = a common badge, often from an early or tutorial-adjacent ending.

Don't assume a big award number means a badge is easy. Volume usually just means the badge has had more time to accumulate clears.

Step-by-Step: How to Earn Dig to Escape Badges

Earning dig to escape badges is less about raw speed and more about preparation. Most failed attempts come from players who start digging before they know where they're going.

Step	Action	Why It Matters
1	Scout the opening area before committing	You learn the layout without burning time
2	Bank Diamonds early in the run	Upgrades make later sections survivable
3	Pick one ending route and stick to it	Route-hopping wastes the run's momentum
4	Watch for the completion trigger	Badges only register after the ending fires
5	Stay in the server through the reward screen	Leaving early can void the unlock
6	Equip the badge from the lobby	Unlocked badges aren't visible until equipped

Practical Tips That Actually Help

Run the same route twice before switching. The second attempt is almost always dramatically better than the first, because you stop guessing.
Treat the first run as a map tour. Don't expect a clear. Expect information.
Play in a small group for hard endings. Community reports suggest the toughest routes reward coordinated digging far more than solo improvisation.
Note where you died. Most players repeat the same mistake three or four times before they consciously fix it.
Check the badge list after every run. Sometimes you unlock something you didn't realize you'd earned.

How to Equip Your Badges

Once a badge is unlocked, it's not automatically displayed. Head to the lobby, open your badge or profile menu, and select the one you want to wear. You can swap badges at any time, so there's no penalty for experimenting with your loadout.

Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting

Even players who finish an ending sometimes walk away empty-handed. Here are the most frequently reported problems and what causes them.

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Badge unlocked but not visible	It hasn't been equipped	Equip it from the lobby menu
Ending completed, no badge awarded	Left the server before the reward screen	Stay through the full completion sequence
Diamonds missing	Rewards are granted per ending, not per run	Replay a different route you haven't cleared
Repeated failures on a hard ending	Attempting a low-win-rate route solo without upgrades	Bank Diamonds first or squad up
Badge progress feels stuck	You're repeating one route	Switch to a route you haven't finished

A few habits prevent most of these issues:

Never leave immediately after the final action. Wait for the reward confirmation.
Track which endings you've cleared. A simple note on your phone beats trying to remember.
Don't chase rarity for its own sake. A 0.4% win rate is impressive, but it's also a warning label.
Re-read the badge description. It often hints at what the badge actually requires.

What Badges Don't Do

It's worth being clear about this: badges in Dig to Escape are cosmetic. They don't increase dig speed, improve your odds, or unlock routes. They're a record of achievement, not a buff. If you're chasing dig to escape badges for a gameplay advantage, you'll be disappointed — chase them because the challenge itself is the point.

FAQ

How many dig to escape badges are there?

Based on the endings documented in community guides, there is at least one badge tied to each ending, with three endings in the game and a combined 45-Diamond payout. The main ending specifically awards the "Dug to Escape" badge alongside 15 Diamonds. Additional badges may exist for specific routes or challenges, so check your in-game badge list for the full picture.

Do dig to escape badges give you any gameplay bonuses?

No. They're purely cosmetic rewards that display next to your name in the lobby. Their value comes from rarity and bragging rights, not from stats or abilities.

Why didn't I get a badge after finishing an ending?

The most common cause is leaving the server before the completion sequence finished. Badges register at the end of the reward screen, not the moment you trigger the ending. If you're confident you waited, double-check that you actually cleared a route you hadn't already completed — rewards are granted once per ending.

How do I show off a badge in the lobby?

Open the lobby menu, find your badge or profile section, and equip the one you want to display. You can change it whenever you like, and equipping a badge never affects gameplay.

Are low win-rate badges worth chasing?

That depends on what you want. A badge with a recent win rate around 0.4% is genuinely difficult, so unlocking it takes real practice. If you enjoy the challenge, it's one of the most satisfying things to accomplish in the game. If you just want a full collection, work through the easier endings first and save the brutal ones for last.
