Quick Answer: How Do the Jobs Compare?
The game's confirmed structure is three named construction jobs — Hotel Hapless, Drain Strain and Crane Climb — plus the officially billed Crisis Jobs hazard tier and a Master Builder Mode replay for every job. Each job also carries a Time Trial and a zero-death trophy. Completion rates fall from 66.6% (Hotel Hapless) to 18.3% (Crane Climb), so expect the difficulty to climb with the skyline.
| Job | Confirmed Trophies | Rarest Challenge | Completion (clear) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hotel Hapless | 6 | Have a Safe Trip (zero deaths, 6.5%) | 66.6% |
| Drain Strain | 6 | Live and Unplugged (zero deaths, 0.9%) | 36.3% |
| Crane Climb | 6 | Unscathed Summit (zero deaths, 0.6%) | 18.3% |
| Crisis Jobs tier | Survival line | Living Legend (sole survivor, 4.0%) | — |
| Master Builder Mode | 3 (one per job) | Sky-High Triumph (0.8%) | — |
Hotel Hapless: The First Job
The tutorial-flavored opening job where 2 in 3 players earn Checking In. It introduces the grab-throw-nail building loop and hides two optional objectives (the egg and the missing letter) on top of its Time Trial, zero-death and Master Builder challenges.
Drain Strain & Crane Climb: The Escalation
Drain Strain drops completion to 36.3% and adds its own hidden objectives (flushing something unsightly, delivering the plug). Crane Climb is the rarest clear at 18.3%, with the floating stroller and the body-as-lightning-rod objectives, plus the game's rarest zero-death trophy at 0.6%.
Crisis Jobs & Master Builder: The Long Game
Beyond the three named jobs, the store page bills chaotic Crisis Jobs — deadly work packed with unique challenges & hazards — and every job has a Master Builder Mode replay. These layers hold the ultra-rare trophies: the three Master Builder clears and the survival line (Restroom Rescue, Living Legend, Cannonbean).
