You Played
You Played is the auto-award badge. It fires the first time you load into a server and is required to qualify for any other challenge.
Ice Tycoon 2 badges run the gamut from auto-awarded freebies to grueling world-clear challenges. Some are stepping stones, some are late-game multipliers, and a few unlock permanent upgraders.
All public badges from the freebie tier through the late-game Collector and Drought challenges.

Escapist is the badge you earn by leaving the starting Hotel. It is the gate to the main island and the rest of the badges on this list.
Voyager is the badge you earn by crossing the Frozen Canyon bridge. It confirms you can reach the Research Tower and the Factory zone.
Collector is the keystone late-game badge. The permanent upgrader it unlocks is one of the highest-value late-game cash sources and survives rebirth resets.
Secret Finder rewards you for solving all three riddles. Each riddle gives a permanent +5% cash yield, and the badge itself confirms 100% secret completion.
Drought is the most tedious badge in the game. Without the Double Water gamepass and Swift Boots, the Glacial Lake regenerates faster than you can drain it.
