The Escape The Cat In The Hat badge is one of the main achievements in Scream And Run on Roblox. To earn it, you need to complete the normal Escape objective: search the school for hidden keys, unlock the exit, and escape while the Cat in the Hat is hunting you.
The badge is currently enabled in Roblox, with the badge ID 2332753337068348.
What Is the Escape The Cat In The Hat Badge?
The Escape The Cat In The Hat badge is awarded for successfully completing a normal Escape run in Scream And Run.
The official game description explains that players are trapped inside a school after dark. The Cat in the Hat hunts players while they search abandoned classrooms and backpacks for hidden keys. These keys are needed to unlock the exit.
Unlike the Escape The Cat In The Hat With No Power On badge, the normal Escape badge does not require the special No Power challenge.
How to Get the Escape The Cat In The Hat Badge
Getting the badge is mainly about completing the Escape objective before the Cat catches you.
1. Start an Escape Round
First, enter Scream And Run and select the Escape game mode.
Escape is the mode designed around finding keys and getting out of the school. Free Roam is useful for exploring, while Hide And Seek has a different objective.
2. Search the School
Once the round begins, start searching the abandoned school.
Pay particular attention to classrooms and backpacks, because the game's official description identifies these areas as the places where hidden keys can be found.
A systematic search is usually better than running randomly from room to room. Clear one classroom or nearby area before moving to another so you do not repeatedly check the same locations.
3. Find the Hidden Keys
The keys are the main objective of the Escape mode.
Search backpacks and the relevant areas of the school until your current round shows that the required key progress has been completed. Current community guides demonstrate five-key completions, but the public game description does not state a permanent fixed key count, so it is better to follow the live counter in your round.
Avoid the Cat in the Hat
While searching for keys, you also need to survive.
The Cat in the Hat is actively hunting players, so spending too much time in open hallways can make the escape harder. If the Cat gets close, move into a room or change direction rather than continuing through a long open corridor.
You do not need to defeat the Cat to earn the badge. The objective is to escape.
Return to the Exit
After completing the required key progress, stop searching and make your way back to the exit.
Try to remember important landmarks while searching so you can reverse your route quickly. Getting lost after collecting the final key can give the Cat another opportunity to catch you.
4. Unlock the Exit
At the exit, complete the current interaction shown by the game.
If the exit does not open, check the displayed progress and make sure the current round has actually completed its key requirement. The exact interaction can change with game updates, so follow the prompt shown in your current session.
Complete the Escape
Once you successfully leave the school, wait for the round result.
A successful normal escape should award the Escape The Cat In The Hat badge. Roblox currently lists this badge as enabled.
If the badge notification does not appear immediately, check your Roblox badge list after the round rather than immediately assuming the attempt failed.
Tips for Getting the Badge
Keep Track of Your Route
The school can become confusing when you are moving quickly. Remember where the exit is and use obvious rooms or corridors as landmarks.
Search Methodically
Instead of checking random rooms, clear nearby classrooms and backpacks in an organized pattern. This reduces the chance of missing an important area or wasting time searching the same room twice.
Do Not Sprint Everywhere
Running through every hallway may seem faster, but it can make it harder to react when the Cat appears. Save your movement options for situations where you actually need to escape.
Move When the Cat Approaches
If the Cat is close, do not stay focused on a backpack for too long. Surviving the chase is more important than finishing one search immediately.
Play With Other Players
A group can make the search easier because different players can cover different parts of the school. However, players should still keep track of the current objective and exit route.
Do You Need Five Keys?
A current community walkthrough demonstrates a 5/5 key completion, but the official Roblox game description does not publish a fixed key requirement.
For that reason, do not rely on an old guide that says the requirement will always be exactly five keys. Check the progress shown during your current Escape round.
Is This the Same as the No Power Badge?
No.
Scream And Run currently has two enabled Escape-related badges:
- Escape The Cat In The Hat - normal Escape
- Escape The Cat In The Hat With No Power On - No Power Escape
The second badge is a separate achievement and is significantly rarer.
If you are simply trying to get the normal Escape badge, you do not need to complete the No Power challenge.
Why Didn't I Get the Badge?
If you escaped but did not receive the badge, first make sure the round actually registered as a successful Escape.
Check that:
- You completed the required key progress.
- You successfully interacted with the exit.
- The round reached its completion/result state.
- You were playing the normal Escape objective.
- Roblox has had time to update the badge result.
Badge statistics and notifications can update separately from the moment the round ends, so a short delay does not necessarily mean the attempt failed.
FAQ
What do I need to do to get the badge?
Complete a normal Escape round by finding the required keys, unlocking the exit, and successfully escaping the school while avoiding the Cat in the Hat.
What is the badge ID?
The badge ID for Escape The Cat In The Hat is 2332753337068348.
Do I have to defeat the Cat in the Hat?
No. The goal is to escape, not defeat the Cat.
Do I need the No Power mode?
No. No Power is associated with a separate badge.
How many keys do I need?
The live round determines the required progress. Current community material shows 5/5 in a demonstrated run, but Roblox's public game description does not establish five as a permanent requirement.
Can I get the badge solo?
The Escape objective can be attempted without relying on a full team. However, searching the school alone means you have to cover more areas yourself while avoiding the Cat.
Is Escape The Cat In The Hat a rare badge?
It is less common than a simple game-start achievement because you must successfully complete an Escape run. Current Roblox badge data shows that the normal Escape badge has been earned by a substantial number of players, while the No Power version is considerably rarer.
What should I do after getting the badge?
Once you can consistently complete the normal Escape route, try the Escape The Cat In The Hat With No Power On challenge for a more difficult achievement.
