Passport Stamps & Badges in Explore the World

Progression in Explore the World is stamped into your passport and Roblox badges. Tartan Studios tracks airport milestones, city arrivals, postcard collection, cabin flex, and long-run distance. This guide explains each official badge in practical order, how stamps and postcards connect, and which guides to open when you are stuck mid-loop.

For a compact roster view, also use the badges list and the passport tracker.

Airport starter badges

Welcome to Saltmere

Arrive at New Saltmere and press Play. This is the onboarding badge and proof you entered the passenger hub. Everything else branches from here - see Getting Started.

Boarding Pass

Complete check-in at a kiosk or desk. Detailed steps live in How to Check In. Without Boarding Pass, you are not ready for a clean security-to-gate run.

Wheels Up

Take off from Saltmere after boarding and the safety demo. This badge celebrates leaving the ground on time. If you instead miss the flight and get rebooked, look at Running Late below.

Running Late

Miss your flight and get rebooked. Collectors sometimes chase this on purpose; everyone else should treat it as a recovery badge after a timing mistake. Arcade and snack delays are the usual cause.

City passport stamps

Welcome to Paris

Arrive in Paris and collect your first Paris passport stamp. Pair with the Paris Guide for Eiffel Tower lifts and photo spots.

Welcome to London

Arrive in London and collect your first London passport stamp. Use the London Guide for the London Eye and Big Ben loop.

Two-City Traveller

Hold stamps in both London and Paris. Order does not matter. Plan two sessions if friends only want one city per night. This is the natural “I finished the early map” trophy.

Collection and mileage badges

Postcard Collector

Save all seven postcards to your passport. Snap landmark photos in Paris and London, then confirm each card saves. Track leftovers with the passport tracker. Postcard hunting pairs well with attraction browsing on the attractions tier list.

First Thousand

Fly 1,000 km total. Early flights toward either city start this meter. Watch the in-flight map to feel distance accumulate.

Frequent Flyer

Land 10 flights. This is a repetition badge: clean Saltmere loops matter more than cabin cosmetics. The flight checklist keeps landings consistent.

Around the World

Fly 40,075 km - once around Earth. Early leaderboards showed this as extremely rare (including stretches with zero awards). Treat it as a long-haul prestige goal, not a weekend checklist item.

Cabin flex badge

Jet Set

Fly a Private Jet as host or guest. Capacity is host + up to four friends. Jet Set is rare (early win rate near 0.9%). Read First Class & Private Jet and the cabin classes tier list before spending Robux. Economy and First Class are unrelated to Jet Set; only the private aircraft path counts.

Suggested badge order for new players

1. Welcome to Saltmere
2. Boarding Pass
3. Wheels Up (avoid Running Late unless you want it)
4. Welcome to Paris or Welcome to London
5. The other city stamp -> Two-City Traveller
6. Keep postcard saves toward Postcard Collector
7. Stack landings toward Frequent Flyer and distance toward First Thousand
8. Optional Private Jet session for Jet Set
9. Ultra-long grind for Around the World

This order matches how the fantasy teaches you the game: airport, flight, city, collection, then prestige.

Stamps vs Roblox badges vs postcards

• Passport stamps mark city arrivals (Paris, London) and feed Two-City Traveller.
• Postcards are a separate collection of seven saves tied to sightseeing photos.
• Roblox badges are the platform trophies listed above, including airport and mileage awards.

Players sometimes assume one Paris photo grants every Paris-related reward. In practice, confirm stamp UI, postcard saves, and badge popups separately so you do not leave the city missing a silent objective.

Party strategies for badge hunting

• Call the destination before check-in.
• Split photo duty in cities so postcard coverage is wider.
• Run Private Jet only when the full group can finish Saltmere on time.
• If one player needs Running Late, schedule a sacrificial miss after serious stamp goals are done.
• Share the badges list link in chat so everyone tracks the same names.

Platform and control reminders

Badge popups and passport menus must be readable on your device. If mobile buttons cover stamp UI, adjust with tips from Controls. Missing a postcard save because of a mis-tap is more painful than missing an arcade high score.

Codes, scripts, and authenticity

No badge should require a shady executor. If a script promises instant Around the World or free Jet Set, walk away - see Scripts and the safety guide. Promo codes, when Tartan Studios publishes them, will not replace flying; check Codes and how to redeem. Patch changes to badge rules belong on Updates and the changelog.

Fact anchors (keep wiki pages consistent)

• Developer: Tartan Studios
• Hub airport: Saltmere / New Saltmere
• Destinations at research time: Paris and London
• Cabins: Economy, First Class, Private Jet (five seats)
• Postcards: seven total for Postcard Collector
• Release: 23 October 2026 on Roblox

When guides disagree, trust these anchors and re-check official badge text in-game.

Passport play is the long spine of Explore the World: every clean flight writes another line into your traveler identity. Use this page as the checklist, jump to city or cabin guides when you need tactics, and return to the Guides Hub for the full tutorial map.
