Last updated: July 12, 2026Dino Kid Badges
All six Dino Kid badges in Dino Kid, 99 Nights in the Forest — what each one needs and how to bank it in a single run.
The six badges
Playtime
Give Dino Kid 10 different items that each trigger a unique interaction.
Hand him a variety of food and objects — the badge tracks distinct interactions, not total feeds.
Babysitting
Reach Dino Kid Level 5 by feeding him and returning his lost trinkets.
Keep a Crock Pot running for Stew (up to 70 EXP per feed) to climb levels fastest.
Warding
Survive the hardest Cultist attack after completing the Dino Kid trinket hunt.
Paying 3 Cultist Gems + 1 Gem of the Forest for Challenge difficulty is what earns Warding (and the Gem of the Forest prize).
Dino Kid Tape 1
Keep Dino Kid protected for 5 nights (unhappy nights do not count).
A night only counts if his mood is good when night falls — fix needs before sunset.
Dino Kid Tape 2
Keep Dino Kid protected for 25 nights (unhappy nights do not count).
Same mood rule as Tape 1, stretched across a long run — steady feeding is key.
Dino Kid Tape 3
Keep Dino Kid protected for 60 nights (unhappy nights do not count).
The long-haul badge; a healthy, well-fed Dino Kid is the only way to bank 60 counted nights.
10 objects with a unique interaction (Playtime)
The Playtime badge asks you to give Dino Kid 10 different objects that each trigger a unique interaction. It counts variety, not repeats — so hand him a spread of different foods plus his own returned trinkets. This mix works reliably:
- 1.Apple
- 2.Carrot
- 3.Berry
- 4.Cake
- 5.Hearty Stew
- 6.Steak
- 7.Marshmallow
- 8.Pumpkin Pie
- 9.Dino Kid's Yoyo
- 10.Dino Kid's Crayon
Keep his mood up (Tape badges)
Three Tape badges only count a night when Dino Kid is happy at sunset. Solve each need before nightfall — every fix also pays EXP.
The final Cultist raid (Warding)
Finishing the trinket hunt triggers a mega Cultist attack the following night — three waves under a timer. You pick the difficulty by paying gems: Normal (1 Cultist Gem), Hard (3 Cultist Gems) or Challenge (3 Cultist Gems + 1 Gem of the Forest). Surviving the Challenge difficulty is what unlocks the Warding badge and pays out a Gem of the Forest plus 3 Cultist Gems.
