Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest
There is a quest line in Shred the Secrets that the developer has never explained. We know the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest exists because an official Roblox badge is named after it, and we know 20,853 players have finished it. What nobody has published — not the developer, not the wikis, not the guide sites — is where the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest starts or what you actually do. This page separates what is verifiable about the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest from what is guesswork, and it will say “we do not know” rather than invent a route.

What is confirmed about the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest
The quest exists and is completable
The "Industrial Revolution" badge description reads exactly "Complete the Mad Scientist Quest". 20,853 players hold it.
It was built before it was announced
The badge was registered on July 30, 2026 at 18:13 UTC and sat at zero awards until the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest opened on July 31 at 20:00 UTC.
It survived the event deadline
The event window closed August 3 at 15:00 UTC. The badge has gained 3,471 further awards in the 58 hours since, so the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest is still live.
It is not required for Ending 3
Ending 3 has 31,196 completions against the quest’s 20,853. A prerequisite can never have fewer awards than the thing it gates.
The Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest is not a gate on Ending 3 — here is the arithmetic
A lot of players assume the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest has to be finished before the new ending unlocks. The badge counts rule that out, and it takes one comparison to see why.
| Badge | Requirement | Awarded |
|---|---|---|
| Whistleblower (Ending 3) | Complete Ending 3 | 31,196 |
| Industrial Revolution | Complete the Mad Scientist Quest | 20,853 |
| THE CAKE IS A LIE | Undisclosed easter egg | 13,963 |
If the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest were required to reach Ending 3, then every single Ending 3 finisher would also hold Industrial Revolution, and the quest badge could never sit lower than 31,196. It sits at 20,853. That means roughly 10,343 players finished Ending 3 without ever completing the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest. The same logic rules out THE CAKE IS A LIE being a prerequisite. Treat the three as separate objectives that happen to share the same update.

How to look for the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest
This is not a route — there is no verified route for the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest. It is the search strategy that has actually uncovered every other secret in this game.
- 1. Stop rushing the shredder. Cash pressure pushes players into a tight loop that never leaves the main room. Every hidden interaction documented so far sits off that loop.
- 2. Work the known secret surfaces. Filing cabinets, boarded doors, cobwebs, the basement and locked areas are where past secrets were found. Our rooms & secrets walkthrough lists every confirmed interaction point in the office.
- 3. Use saved runs. Solo progress now persists between sessions, so you can explore across several sittings instead of burning a full run on a search.
- 4. Fund the search first. Bank cash on the farming routeand buy Movement Speed early — it is S-tier on our tier list and makes sweeping the office far cheaper in time.
- 5. Split rooms with a squad. Mapping the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest is far faster with people covering different areas of the office at once.

Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest FAQ
Official badge data answering the questions players ask most about the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest.
What is the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest?
It is a quest line that shipped with the Secret Update on July 31, 2026. The Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest exists because an official Roblox badge is named after it: "Industrial Revolution", created by CRAZY BRAZILIAN on July 30, 2026, with the description "Complete the Mad Scientist Quest". The badge has been awarded 20,853 times, so the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest is genuinely completable.
How do you start the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest?
Nobody has published a verified starting location, and we will not invent one. What we can tell you is that 20,853 players have completed the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest, so it is discoverable in normal play. Every other secret in this game has been found through office exploration — behind filing cabinets, boarded doors, cobwebs and in the basement — so sweeping the office instead of rushing the shredder is the approach that has historically worked.
Do I need the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest to get Ending 3?
No, and the badge numbers prove it. Whistleblower (Ending 3) has 31,196 awards while Industrial Revolution has only 20,853. If the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest were a prerequisite for Ending 3, the quest badge could never be lower than the ending badge, because every Ending 3 finisher would also hold it. Roughly 10,343 players reached Ending 3 without completing the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest.
Is the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest still available after the event ended?
Yes. The Secret Update event window closed on August 3, 2026 at 15:00 UTC. In the 58 hours after that deadline the Industrial Revolution badge rose from 6,207 to 9,678 awards — 3,471 completions earned entirely after the event was over. The Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest was not removed with the event.
How rare is the Industrial Revolution badge in the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest?
It is held by 20,853 of the 5,525,522 players who have launched Shred the Secrets, which is 0.38% — the sixth-rarest badge of all 30. Roblox reports its own win rate for the badge at 0.024%. It is rarer than every 5-star badge except Perfect Attendance.
Is the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest connected to THE CAKE IS A LIE?
The numbers suggest they overlap. Both badges launched together at nearly identical counts (508 and 506) and have moved in step ever since, now sitting at 20,853 and 13,963. Since the cake badge count is lower, it is not required to finish the Shred the Secrets Mad Scientist Quest, but the pattern points to the easter egg sitting somewhere along the same path.
