Keep the Door Locked Patch Notes
Confirmed dates first — feature claims only with badge or UI evidence.
Verified timeline
May 28, 2026 — Release
Keep the Door Locked launched on Roblox through Hotel Room Services. The core loop — cameras, rules, visitor decisions in a single hotel room — has been the public identity since release.
Late July 2026 — Badge cluster
Ending badges 1–3 appeared around July 26. Anomaly and survival badges (window, toilet, door breaker, shadow, room hider, sanity) clustered around July 27. Visitor and discovery badges (Rat Buster, Juan, dog, Kindness, Dream Room) followed around July 30.
August 4, 2026 — Update activity
The experience showed update activity around August 4 without a full public changelog. Treat the timestamp as a prompt to rejoin a fresh server, not as a fabricated feature list.
August 7, 2026 — Ending 4 badge
ENDING 4 was created with the text: trust a man with his katana, but something was already standing there watching and waiting to run. Practical guide: Katana Ending. Compare all routes in All Endings.
August 10, 2026 — Live update + codes
The universe update timestamp moved again on August 10, 2026. Around the same window, an in-game CODE menu and active promo codes (ROOM!, VISITS8MIL, FREECASH, FIRST_CODE) were documented for cash and token rewards. Track them on Codes and redeem with How to Redeem.
August 11, 2026 — Another update timestamp
The universe updated field moved again on August 11, 2026. Visits crossed 15 million. Rejoin a fresh server, confirm the CODE button, and compare strings with Codes. Reward usage notes: Cash & Tokens.
Mid-August 2026 — Growth check
By mid-August the experience sat above 13 million visits with tens of thousands concurrent at peak snapshots. Ending 4 awards remained extremely low (dozens). Dedicated guides expanded for Kindness and Rat Buster. No new promo string beyond the August 10 set was verified in that window.
August 21, 2026 — Blood Moon Ending 5 badge
ENDING 5 was created on August 21, 2026 with the short text Blood Moon Ending. The badge is the newest official route; community award counts climbed into the thousands within a day, suggesting the trigger is reachable from a normal ten-day run. Dedicated walkthrough: Blood Moon Ending. Compare all five routes in All Endings. The badges API now reports 17 total tracked badges for the universe, up from 16 before the August 21 update.\n\n### August 22, 2026 — Code rotation + UI hint\n\nIndependent code roundups retired the first promo wave (ROOM!, VISITS8MIL, FREECASH, FIRST_CODE, plus MEDAL_QUEST and BLOODMOON!) and listed ENDING5 and NEWUISOON as active. Some August 24 notes also describe redeeming inside Shop instead of a separate CODE button. Track strings on Codes and spend cash on Shop Upgrades.
Why some entries stay short
Roblox timestamps can change for assets, configuration, or silent fixes. This page only promotes a change to a named feature when badge data, a stable UI path, or a clear developer message supports it. Rumors without reproduction stay out.
How to check your build
Rejoin from the official game page, read any in-game notices, confirm whether the left-side CODE button is present, and compare endings with the Ending Tracker. For safety tools and exploit claims, see Scripts.
What will be added later
Future notes can cover official patch text, new badges, code expirations, balance changes, and events. They will not invent roadmaps. When a code expires, it moves to Expired Codes. When new badges appear between update waves, All Endings and this timeline expand together.
Practical checklist after any update timestamp
- Rejoin from the official game page so assets refresh.
- Confirm whether the left-side CODE button is present and redeem any new active strings listed on Codes.
- Open the badge list mentally against the Badge Tracker — watch for new ENDING entries like Ending 4 and Ending 5.
- Play one calm night focused only on UI and room differences before starting a serious ten-day attempt.
- Write what changed and what did not; absences matter as much as additions.
Separating rumor from patch reality
Comment sections often invent chapters, multiplayer modes, or free Blood Money drops after every timestamp bump. This page will not mirror that noise. If Hotel Room Services later posts a clear feature list, the entry will quote the player-facing change and link the affected guide. Until then, “updated” means “worth rejoining,” not “every rumor is true.”
Players who care about endings should especially re-read Katana Ending, Blood Moon Ending, and All Endings after August content waves, because new ending badges can appear without a long announcement essay.
