In the Roblox horror experience 7 Days Cat-Sitting, developed by HELP ME PLEASE studios, surviving your caretaking duties requires following strict instructions from the pet owner. While your primary job is looking after Whiskers, numerous bizarre anomalies can quickly derail your week.
Among the game's 24 badges is the Pranked ending. Unlike survival-oriented achievements, this badge requires you to directly disobey instructions. Here is everything you need to know to locate the strange door and earn the 7 Days Cat Sitting pranked badge.
What Is the Pranked Badge in 7 Days Cat-Sitting?
The official Roblox badge list confirms Pranked as one of the 24 unlockable outcomes. Gameplay recordings and third-party walkthroughs show that this badge is tied to a specific anomaly: an unexpected door appearing inside the house where no doorway existed before.
When you take a photo of this mysterious entrance using your in-game phone, the cat's owner responds with a clear command: "DO NOT OPEN IT." Disobeying this instruction and opening the door immediately triggers the Pranked result screen, displaying the message: "You opened the door you were told not to."
Distinguishing Door-Related Endings
Several endings in 7 Days Cat-Sitting involve doors, and it is easy to mix them up. Community guides and gameplay result screens distinguish them as follows:
| Ending / Badge | Trigger Condition | Door Involved |
|---|---|---|
| Pranked | Opening a newly appeared door you were warned to ignore | Mysterious interior or back door |
| Cya Later | Going to bed while leaving the entrance wide open | Regular front door |
| Intruder Alert | Going to bed without locking the entrance | Regular front door |
| Granny Is Here | Standing near the entrance while an old woman knocks outside | Regular front door |
Step-by-Step Guide to Get the Pranked Badge
Unlocking the Pranked badge does not require completing all seven nights. You simply need to trigger the door anomaly and interact with it.
- Begin your shift by taking care of routine chores. Feed Whiskers by retrieving the can from the kitchen cabinet, open the laundry room door to let him use the litterbox, clean the box using the drag-and-drop minigame, and play with the laser pointer until the bar fills up.
- Prepare your own meal from the fridge, heat it in the microwave, eat it, retrieve the mail from the mailbox, and secure the front door locks. Keeping routine chores in check ensures other failure states do not interrupt your run prematurely.
- Inspect the interior layout of the house. During certain nights (recorded by players on Night 3, Night 5, or Night 7), an unfamiliar door will appear along a hallway or wall where a solid surface normally sits.
- If your in-game phone is available, take a photo of the door. The owner will send a warning message explicitly telling you not to open it.
- Walk up to the newly spawned door and interact with it to open it.
- The scene will immediately resolve, awarding you the Pranked badge and confirming the ending on your screen.
How to Avoid the Pranked Ending on a Good Ending Run
If your goal is achieving the Canon Good Ending by completing the full seven-day caretaking shift, you must treat this strange doorway as a hazard:
- Compare rooms against the default house layout so you immediately recognize when an extra door has spawned.
- Never interact with or open the mysterious doorway under any circumstances.
- Finish all mandatory tasks for the evening: feed both Whiskers and yourself, clean the litterbox, check the mail, lock the front entrance, and make sure appliances like the stove and television are properly turned off.
- Head directly to the bedroom and sleep to advance safely to the next night.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which night does the strange door appear?
Playthrough recordings show the anomaly can appear on different nights, including Night 3, Night 5, and Night 7. Because anomaly encounters can vary, monitor the house layout at the start of each evening.
Do I need to go to sleep to get the Pranked badge?
No. Walkthrough data and gameplay footage confirm that the Pranked badge triggers immediately upon interacting with and opening the forbidden door, rather than requiring you to sleep in the bed.
Does the phone warning have to be triggered first?
Photographing the doorway confirms the owner's warning text, but opening the newly appeared door itself is the required physical trigger for the badge.
