Ice Tycoon 2 tracks completion through a badge board that mixes easy exploration pickups with long collection grinds and two hidden story endings. The fastest path is to build a stable freeze-collect-melt loop first, grab the cheap map badges, then work through the collection badges before you ever touch a rebirth, because two of the badges depend on how many times you reset and whether you buy from the Item Merchant.
Quick answer: Unlock You Played, Escapist, Voyager, and Complete during normal play, then finish Collector (five gems), Secret Finder, Up And Running, and Drought on a stable save. Save Ending 1 (five rebirths, with a merchant purchase after the fourth) and Ending 2 (a rebirth run with no merchant buys) for last.
Every Ice Tycoon 2 badge and its exact trigger
Each badge unlocks the moment its condition is met, and the award notification appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Badge unlocks are permanent on your account, so you never re-earn one after a rebirth.
| Badge | Unlock condition | Best timing |
|---|---|---|
| You Played | Join the game. | Automatic on start |
| Escapist | Flee the hotel and reach the roof. | Early |
| Voyager | Cross the frozen canyon obstacle course. | Early |
| Complete | Buy every button to reach 100% tycoon progress. | Early-mid |
| Up And Running | Fully repair the Abandoned Factory, then step through its portal. | Mid |
| Collector | Retrieve all five gems and insert them in the wall slot. | Mid |
| Secret Finder | Find and collect every hidden secret on the map. | Mid |
| Drought | Completely empty every water source in the game. | Late |
| Ending 1 | Reach five rebirths, with an Item Merchant purchase after the fourth. | Final |
| Ending 2 | Complete a rebirth run buying nothing from the Item Merchant (troops allowed). | Final |
Exploration badges and the trophies
You Played pops the instant you load in, so it needs no effort. The other early badges come from three exploration routes, and each route also hands you a trophy. Trophies gate the laboratory upgrades and reset on every rebirth, so treat them as a per-run checklist rather than a one-time task.
Collector: all five gems
Collector unlocks when you complete the gem quest, which means finding all five gems and inserting them into the circular wall slot near the tycoon. Each gem also grants a permanent +5% income, so the full set adds +25% that survives every rebirth. Before you attempt the lava pit, grab the Frozen Magma from the hotel’s fourth floor for heat protection.
| Gem | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Hotel minigame — clear the level to reach the pedestal. |
| Blue | Cave — mine the grey rock structure with a pickaxe. |
| Purple | Snowy path — drop down the well and navigate the dark tunnel. |
| Green | Dark wall — climb the invisible blocks into the hidden opening. |
| Red | Lava pit inside the tycoon — enter with heat resistance active. |
After collecting all five, walk to the wall display and place each gem in its slot. The Collector badge is awarded as soon as the final gem locks in.
Up And Running and Drought
Up And Running requires repairing the Abandoned Factory. Scoop water from a nearby well with a bucket and pour it into the rusty machine until the water indicator fills. When the message “Teleporter is now active” appears, step through the portal inside the factory to trigger the badge.
Drought is the opposite job and the longest grind. You must completely dry out every water source on the map — wells, spouts, and backup sources — until the game registers zero water left. A Bucket makes this far faster than scooping with the starter tool, and missing a single hidden well will block the badge, so track each source as you clear it.
Note: some gem and factory routes still need water access, so finish those before you begin the drought sweep.
Secret Finder: every hidden secret
Secret Finder covers all hidden secrets, which are separate from the five gems. You can complete Collector and still have Secret Finder locked if you skip the off-path buttons and areas. Known secret triggers include a green button on top of the giant golden statue, a button at the end of a dark tunnel reached through a well, a water tank that teleports you when you stand inside it while it is full, and a button hidden on the factory roof reached from the grassy hill behind it.
Ending 1: five rebirths with a merchant buy
Ending 1 is tied to your rebirth count, not a single 100% plate. You need five rebirths total, and there is a specific rule for the run after the fourth reset.
Ending 2: the no-merchant run
Ending 2 is the harder path and works best immediately after Ending 1, while your cash multipliers are at their peak. You need four rebirth upgrades unlocked first, and on the qualifying run you must buy nothing from the Item Merchant. Troops such as Recruit and Knight are allowed and do not count as merchant items.
The game will repeatedly prompt you to shop during this run. Ignore every prompt. At a set tycoon completion percentage, a merchant jumpscare triggers and all workers in the mine, farm, and factory are found dead, forcing you to operate every station by hand until the ending resolves. Upgrade your income beforehand so manual harvesting still pays your bills, and bring Heat Crystal Lvl 2 or higher so the cold map zones do not soft-lock your progress. Complete the run without a single merchant purchase to unlock Ending 2.
What rebirth keeps and what it resets
Rebirth is where runs go wrong, so finish your collection badges before you reset. Rebirth wipes your cash, placed items, and production chain, but it keeps your gem income bonuses, rebirth multiplier tiers, and any badges you already earned.
| System | Resets on rebirth? |
|---|---|
| Purchased tycoon items and plates | Yes |
| Current-run cash and inventory | Yes |
| Trophies | Yes — re-earn each run |
| Gem +5% income bonuses | No |
| Rebirth multiplier progression | No |
| Badge unlocks | No |
If you are one gem or one secret away from a badge, finish that route before resetting. Rebuilding the same production line twice costs more time than closing out the objective once. A workable order is gems, then factory repair, then Drought, then Ending 1 and Ending 2, with Secret Finder handled whenever you pass an off-path spot.
Because Slized Games is still adding achievement rows, it is worth opening the Ice Tycoon 2 experience page on Roblox before a completion run to confirm the current badge names. Once each condition is met and the award pops in the corner, the badge is locked to your account for good — no rebirth will take it back.
