How to Play Hack the World (Roblox): Beginner Route & How to Evolve
A beginner route built from Roblox's own game, group and badge data. Where the developer has not published a number, we say so instead of guessing.
07steps to the Matrix
SHORT_ANSWER
How to play Hack the World Roblox in one line
Redeem the codes → recruit your first hacker minion → unlock powers → climb the 8 bases → enter the Matrix to evolve → launch from the Space Base.
02
REDEEM
Claim the free codes first
Open SHOP on the left, scroll to the bottom and redeem SPACEBOY15 and INFECTION14 for Cash and 5 Virus Rolls. RELEASE12 still sits in the official group description but needs a check (see the codes page).
03
RECRUIT
Get your first hacker minion
Recruiting Minions is the first action in the official description. The “Army of Minions” badge (first hacker minion) has about 429,000 holders, so most active players reach it early.
04
POWER
Unlock your first power
The “Power Up” badge marks your first power (about 245,000 holders). “Almighty Power” requires every power and only about 136 players have it.
05
EXPAND
Climb the base ladder
Your empire moves from Parent's House to Treehouse Lair, Abandoned Arcade, Mountain Base, V-CORP, Hacker Labs, Villain Airship and finally Space Base. Each move is a badge.
06
EVOLVE
Enter the Matrix
The Matrix is where you evolve. It is a late-game step: rarer than the Villain Airship base.
07
REASSESS
Use offline income, then reinvest
The official description advertises 100% of your income while offline. On return, spend it on the next upgrade toward your next base.
How to evolve in Hack the World (Roblox)
Evolving happens in the Matrix. The official description says “Evolve through the Matrix,” and the matching badge reads “Enter the matrix and evolve...?”. Evil Empire Group has not published the exact cost or unlock condition.
What Roblox's public badge counts do show is how late it comes. On October 2, 2026:
| Badge | Players who earned it |
|---|---|
| Parent's House (first base) | 2,891,740 |
| Villain Airship (base 7) | 4,020 |
| The Matrix (evolve) | 1,103 |
So fewer than 1 in 2,500 players who started in Parent's House have entered the Matrix. If you cannot see a Matrix option yet, you are not stuck: keep growing Cash, add minions and powers, and push up the base ladder. Offline income keeps earning while you are away. For every term used on this page, see the Hack the World wiki index.
Common Roblox beginner mistakes
- Skipping the codes: they are free Cash and Virus Rolls. Copy them here.
- Trusting “auto farm” scripts: they break Roblox rules and can cost you the account.
- Staying in a laggy public server: the game says private servers are free.
Watch the game, not old numbers
Rather than memorizing a cost from an unverified post, compare the next live upgrade with your current income and goal.
