Can you get the Joy Ride badge solo in Shred the Secrets?

Yes. Unlike Perfect Attendance which mandates a 4-player team, Joy Ride only requires all active players currently in the session to be inside the elevator. In a solo run, entering the cabin alone triggers the elevator ride and awards the badge.

What happens if a teammate stays outside the elevator?

The elevator doors will remain open and the ride will not start. Community walkthroughs confirm the elevator check requires 100% of the active squad inside before it triggers the ascent.

Where is the crowbar needed for the basement door?

The crowbar is inside the Room 6 cobweb room — in the current 12-room version it rests on the recycling bin on the Sketchy Coworker's upgrade counter (August 2026 footage; pre-update runs showed it glowing between the paper stacks). You must clear or navigate through the cobwebs to pick it up, then use it on the boarded doorway.

Is Joy Ride an ending badge?

No. Official badge metadata lists Joy Ride as a Secret badge. However, it is an essential progression milestone along the Ending 2 ("Dark Secrets") path.

Quick answer

Joy Ride is a secret badge in Shred the Secrets whose official description is simply "Ride the elevator out of the basement." Official Roblox badge data puts it at an 8.4% win rate (~127,361 players awarded). The route is tied directly to the Ending 2 ("Dark Secrets") chain: reach the Room 6 cobweb room, pick up the crowbar, smash down the boarded-up doorway (which also grants the Intruder badge), head down to the basement, brew a pot of coffee at the industrial machine (~2 minutes countdown), and have all active players enter the elevator cabin. Once the elevator ascends and delivers the squad out of the basement, the Joy Ride badge pops. Check all badge stats in the badge database.

How to get Joy Ride step-by-step

1
Advance your run through the office rooms until reaching Room 6, which contains the cobweb-covered sector.
2
Locate the crowbar in the cobweb room — current version: on the recycling bin on the upgrade counter — and pick it up.
3
Approach the wooden boarded-up doorway at the back of the room and interact with each plank to smash them off (awards the Intruder badge).
4
Walk down the revealed stairway into the secret basement facility.
5
Interact with the industrial coffee brewing station to start the brewing sequence (requires roughly 2 minutes to complete).
6
Once brewing finishes, gather all squad members inside the open elevator cabin — if playing in a 4-player squad, all four must be inside.
7
The elevator doors close and ride upwards — as the elevator ascends out of the basement, the Joy Ride badge unlocks immediately.

Sources and verification

The badge win rate (8.4%) and awarded count (127,361) are sourced from the official Roblox badges API snapshot. The route through Room 6, crowbar pickup, boarded doorway demolition, 2-minute coffee machine timer, and elevator cabin requirements are verified across multiple community video walkthroughs including Vorzy Brookhaven's "How To Get ALL BADGES In Shred The Secrets" and bwoo's walkthrough recording. Note that riding the elevator is a prerequisite step towards Ending 2 (Dark Secrets) and Perfect Attendance.
