Badge Quests are a series of four to five minute training tasks given by Vee that the trainees take. They were produced between the first and second seasons to tide over fans until new full-length episodes were released. Trainees earn badges for completing these tasks sucessfully. If a task is not completed sucessfully, a trainee can complete it another time. Once a trainee earns a certain number of badges, a trainee will become a chugger. Each badge quest appears after every first episode.
