The badge
| Badge | Description | Clear rate |
|---|---|---|
| Jack? | "win the beanstalk race" | 43.7% |
Badge created 16 August 2026; rate read from the Roblox API on 17 October 2026.
Where it is
The beanstalk sits outside your plot, near the hidden cave that holds the flower secret. Jack stands at it, and starting the race is an interaction with him, not a menu.
How to win it
- Talk to Jack to start the run.
- Jump-spam the climb — the time trial's 15-second record is set the same way, and the beanstalk route rewards continuous jumping over careful walking.
- Do not fall. Falling restarts your progress on the stalk, not the race timer — recovering costs more than steady climbing.
- Cross the finish — the badge fires on the win, not on completion of the climb.
Jack? and the other secrets
The race is secret 6 of 6 in most players' order. If you are collecting before rebirth, do this one last — it is the one most likely to eat twenty minutes.
The race, step by step
| Step | Action | Failure mode |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Talk to Jack to start | Starting without him does nothing |
| 2 | Climb with steady jumps | Jump-spam throws you off the rhythm |
| 3 | Do not fall | One fall usually ends the attempt |
| 4 | Cross the finish | Stopping short of the line earns nothing |
Why 43.7% have it, and 26.6% do not
The Jack? badge sits at 43.7% while the catapult sits at 26.6%: the race is easier to find and safer to attempt. That gap tells you how the six secrets rank in practice: a secret you can walk up to and retry clears in the forties, while one with a trigger you have to work out stays under 30%.
Jack? and the other secrets
Jack is also your proof that NPCs and secrets are the same content system: talking to him unlocks a badge that is exploration, not story. After the race, continue the loop on the map route — the beanstalk region holds the flower cave as well, so the trip clears two of the six secrets in one visit.
Practice without pressure
There is no entry fee and no cooldown, so the race doubles as movement practice: the jump rhythm you learn here is the same one the catapult and the wall hole reward. Run it twice — once carefully, once fast — and you will have both the badge attempt and a feel for the game's platforming.
