Overpriced, overhyped and overly controlledI loved the idea of this book, encouraging adults to try new things and earn badges sounds brilliant. But in reality, it falls flat. The book is overpriced for the content you get, with very basic challenges that feel more suited to children. To make things worse, the badges (which are kind of the whole point) aren’t included, they have to be ordered separately from their website and are far from cheap. Without them, there’s not much incentive to actually complete the tasks.There’s also a strange layer of control surrounding the whole Rebel Badge Club experience. The official Facebook group feels heavily policed, with little room for independent thinking or neurodivergent approaches. It all comes across more like a cult of personality than a community.In the end, it feels like a clever business idea that’s lost touch with the fun and freedom it originally promised. Disappointing.

Rebel Badge Club started as a single badge book - an idea during lockdown - with 52 badges.
Three years later, it's evolved into 3 volumes of books, monthly, quarterly and annual challenges, stickers, journals, clothing, events and much more.
The group gets likened to 'Brownies for adults' but it's for anyone and everyone over the age of 18. The books are designed expecting most people to do 10-15 out of the selection of 52 badges, with most merit badges taking around 3 months to complete.
