Drive Bikini Bottom in Fortnite: Island code, missions, and vault code confusion

Drive Bikini Bottom turns SpongeBob’s chaotic boating lessons into a multiplayer driving arena inside Fortnite. Players race around Bikini Bottom, complete missions, and try to prove they deserve a boating license, all while dodging dozens of other would-be drivers.

The setup feels familiar if you remember the SpongeBob movie game’s driving missions: tight turns, crowded roads, and a lot of bumping into things. Here, it’s been rebuilt as a Fortnite Creative / UEFN experience that emphasizes short matches, clear objectives, and mobile-friendly controls.


Drive Bikini Bottom island code and who made it

Drive Bikini Bottom runs as a custom island in Fortnite Creative, not a standard battle royale mode. To load it, you need its island code. The island is identified as:

Drive Bikini Bottom island code: 5218-8692-0070

The game is built by Pure Moxi Games as a mobile-first driving experience. The design focuses on simple, readable UI and driving that works well on phones and tablets, while still being fully playable on console and PC.

How to play Drive Bikini Bottom in Fortnite

Step 1: Install Fortnite on your platform of choice. If you do not have it yet, download it from the official site at fortnite.com or from your console or mobile app store.

Step 2: Launch Fortnite and go to the Discover screen. From the main lobby, scroll down until you reach the search area for islands and experiences.

Step 3: In the search field, enter the Drive Bikini Bottom island code 5218-8692-0070. Confirm the match, then select the island from the results.

Step 4: Queue into the island. Once the lobby is ready, start the match, and you will load into Bikini Bottom with other players.

What Drive Bikini Bottom gameplay looks like

The core loop is simple: get behind the wheel and complete missions around Bikini Bottom while sharing the streets with other players. Each player is trying to prove they are worthy of a boating license, so everyone is rushing to hit objective markers and finish tasks before anyone else.

The result is controlled chaos. Intersections can clog with vehicles, and the push to finish missions quickly turns normal routes into bumper-to-bumper traffic. That chaos is the point: it’s designed as a multiplayer motoring melee where collisions, missed turns, and short-cuts are part of the fun rather than failures.

Because the experience is mobile-first, the driving model favors quick inputs and responsiveness over simulation detail. Steering is snappy, objectives are clearly marked, and missions are structured so you can jump in for a few rounds from a phone without needing long practice sessions.

Drive Bikini Bottom “vault code” explained

The phrase “vault code” often causes confusion here, mainly because Fortnite’s main battle royale mode features boss vaults that require keycards or special codes, and many players bring that vocabulary into every new island.

For Drive Bikini Bottom specifically, there is no widely documented vault mechanic or shared numeric “vault code” that players need to enter in a keypad-style system. The only confirmed numeric code tied to this experience is the island code 5218-8692-0070, which you use to load the island itself.

When players ask for a vault code in the context of Drive Bikini Bottom, they are usually either:

  • Using “vault code” as a shorthand for the island code, or
  • Assuming there is a hidden battle-royale-style vault inside the map and looking for a secret combination.

No specific numeric vault combination is publicly established for this island. If you encounter a locked area in a custom match, it is most likely controlled by in-map triggers, keys, or mission progress rather than a globally shared code you can enter ahead of time.

Other SpongeBob Fortnite islands and how they differ

Drive Bikini Bottom is only one of several SpongeBob-related islands in Fortnite. Others focus on platforming, survival, or tycoon mechanics instead of driving:

Island Island code Core gameplay
Drive Bikini Bottom 5218-8692-0070 Multiplayer driving missions in Bikini Bottom
Bikini Bottom Only Up 6719-4656-3054 Vertical parkour escape from Rock Bottom, climbing through SpongeBob-themed levels
SpongeBob Tycoon 7611-2152-7182 Tycoon-style resource and base building in a SpongeBob setting
Bikini Bottom (fan build) 4195-6213-3654 Fan-made Bikini Bottom map layout

None of these islands publicly share a universal “vault code” beyond their island codes. Each has its own rules, and any locked rooms or doors are handled by the specific map logic.


How to join any SpongeBob Fortnite island by code

Step 1: From the Fortnite lobby, navigate to the Discover screen where custom islands are listed.

Step 2: Select the search bar, then type in the island code you want to play. For example, 5218-8692-0070 for Drive Bikini Bottom or 6719-4656-3054 for Bikini Bottom Only Up.

Step 3: Confirm the island that appears, add it to your favorites if you plan to return, then start the match to load into the experience.

If you are searching for a “vault code” for Drive Bikini Bottom, the one code you actually need is the island code that gets you into the map. Once you are in, the real challenge is not cracking a keypad but surviving the dense traffic and completing enough missions to earn that boating license.
