Clean the Countries Leaderboard
Race the FILL clock with a three-pass route. Crowds do not make records.
Karpath’s Roblox blurb promises you can race for the fastest times on the leaderboard. This page is how that race actually feels: stacked FILL COUNTRIES timers, a Cash counter that is not the score, and a hall that gets worse as player count climbs to 20. If you still mix up pickup and clean, go back to Controls before you care about a board.
What the board is scoring
Until Karpath publishes a formal rulecard, treat the live HUD as the spec:
- FILL quotas completing before their timers hit zero
- A full tidy (pieces on continent shelves + specks hold-clicked) as the “clean time”
- Server-wide, not account-wide, if you are in a public instance — your ghost run is only yours in a quiet server
Cash, pets, and trails are not the board. They are fuel. Spend them using the tools tier list.
If two FILL tasks stack (25 / 12 / 2), the record that matters is all complete. Finishing FILL 25 and ignoring FILL 2 is a failed run, not a cheeky PB.
The record route
Copy the three-pass from How to Clean Faster and put splits on it:
- 0:00–0:40 — S-tier giants only (countries tier list). No mop, no Shop.
- Until crumbs visible — A and B countries by aisle. One continent at a time.
- Last 30% — mop + microstates. G-special only if a cluster is still buried.
- Buffer 10 seconds — do not open Pets. Look at the floor once more.
Screenshot the complete toast. If the board UI is a separate kiosk in the lobby, walk to it after, not during.
Server choice
Quiet servers beat stacked ones. A 20-player public instance has more hands and more collisions. For a PB:
- Party with 2–3 people who already know roles (players hub)
- Hop until the centre pile is intact
- Avoid instances where FILL 25 is already half done — you will inherit a messy shelf and a doomed timer
Private servers were not listed as enabled on the universe snapshot we pulled. If that changes, launch notes will say so.
Co-op splits for a time
- Player A: Americas runner-placer
- Player B: Asia runner-placer
- Player C: Africa + Europe + mop
Swap C to dedicated mop if Africa is still a landfill at the halfway mark. Do not add a fourth “floater” who steals USA. Floaters create double-grabs, which the board punishes even if it cannot name them.
Voice is better than chat for 0:20 remaining. Chat is better for “Pakistan, Asia” during pass 2.
What will never be a record
- Executor auto-place. None exist for this place, and using one is a ban (scripts).
- Fake codes that “grant 2x speed”. There are no verified codes.
- Copying a Clean the Library speedrun. Different parts, different shelves, different HUD.
- Mobile with a frozen camera. Fix binds first (controls finder).
Practice plan
Day 1: solo FILL 12 (Getting Started). Day 2: solo FILL 25 with carry upgrade. Day 3: two-player aisle split. Day 4: three-player with mop, screenshot times, compare.
If your time stalls, you are colour-sorting or mopping too early. Watch the first-look clip on How to Play and notice how long the pile stays a pile when nobody routes.
Karpath can add seasonal boards, map-specific times, or prestige resets. When they do, this page gets a table. Until then, your FILL complete timestamp is the PB.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Where is the leaderboard in-game?
Karpath advertises fastest times. Check lobby kiosks and the HUD after FILL complete. We will screenshot the exact board when a patch pins it.
Does Cash affect my time?
Only if you spend it on carry and range. Cash itself is not the score.
Can I set a time in a full 20-player server?
You can finish, but collisions make PBs rare. Use two or three teammates on a quiet instance.
Do codes give a leaderboard boost?
No verified codes exist. Ignore videos that promise 2x speed strings.
