Badges

Introduction

The Badges page is the complete guide to every My Small Business badge: Welcome, First Masterpiece, First Delivery, Moving Out and Five-Star Shop. For each badge you get the exact requirement, the community-verified pass rate and a step-by-step strategy to earn it efficiently. The badge funnel tells a clear story — nearly every player earns Welcome, but only about one in ten reaches Moving Out and just a small fraction completes Five-Star Shop. Because the game hides part of its progression behind these milestones, understanding the funnel helps you set realistic goals and focus your Coins and playtime on the badge you actually want next.

Badge Pass-Rate Funnel

Badge Funnel

Core Mechanics

Badges unlock automatically when you complete their requirement. Welcome is awarded simply for joining the game, First Masterpiece for drawing your first design and First Delivery for shipping your first package. Moving Out requires unlocking the Craft Studio, the late progression milestone that moves your business out of the bedroom, while Five-Star Shop demands a 5-star shop rating on the Orders board. Progress is tied to your shop, so accounts that already completed a milestone keep the badge permanently. The game records each unlock on the badges screen as a permanent progress marker, and the site refreshes the pass-rate funnel when the community reports fresh numbers, so the percentages below reflect October 30, 2026 snapshots and will shift as new players join the funnel over time.

Advantages

Badges are more than collection trophies. They are measurable progress markers that show exactly where you stand in the game, and the pass-rate funnel tells you how rare each achievement really is. Because Moving Out and Five-Star Shop are so rare, earning them is a genuine shortcut to bragging rights and a satisfying endgame goal. The badge requirements also push you toward the core systems — designing, shipping and quality — which means chasing badges naturally makes you a better, richer player. Finally, badges pair perfectly with the star-rating loop, so badge hunting and shop improvement reinforce each other: the same clean-order habits that raise your rating also keep the funnel stats looking healthy for every new reader who checks the page.

Challenges

Badges have two real challenges. The late milestones are hard and time-consuming: Moving Out asks you to progress through the entire bedroom-to-warehouse route, and Five-Star Shop demands sustained quality across many orders, which is why under 3% of players reach it. The community pass rates also shift with weekly updates and new players joining the game, so the exact percentages in the funnel are a snapshot rather than a fixed promise. Finally, the game does not always explain the precise rating maths, leaving a small amount of guesswork around exactly what pushes your shop from four stars to five. For new accounts the two hardest badges can feel unreachable for weeks, which is why the strategy cards on this page split the grind into manageable milestones.
