How to complete Beat the Scammers
In order to earn the FREE Shield of the Sentinel in Beat the Scammers, along with the Keep Guard! badge, you’ll need to correctly answer Reliable or Unreliable for 10 different situations (Hint: The answer is always Unreliable).
While you do that, you can additionally earn the Guardian of the City badge by collecting all 18 blue floating shields around the game.
Below is a walkthrough that will take you all the way around the map to systematically find all 10 Situations and all 18 Shields.
Follow the steps in order and by the end you will have completed this game or if you're more visual, simply look at the map above to see where everything is located!
FULL WALKTHROUGH
Upon entering the game you’ll see a purple sign in front of you that says, “Spot the Scams! Learn how to play here!”
Talk to the NPC next to the sign for hints on how to correctly answer the 10 game questions. This is good advice anywhere on the internet, not just on Roblox, so is worth a read.
Here’s a summary of what you learn here:
- Links to unofficial websites: Links to other websites, even mispellings, can be bait for scams or be harmful.
- Claims without a source: Use the Rule of 3: not sure about something? Try and find 3 sources.
- Prompts for personal or account information: Roblox employees will never ask for passwords or account info. Don’t trust anyone who asks this.
- Real life money or gifts: Don’t trust free Robux. A free gift or the promise of real life money is used to trick people into scams.
