Discord HypeSquad Switcher
Discord removed the HypeSquad quiz in 2026. There's no longer an in-app way to get the badge — but the underlying API still works. This free bookmarklet calls it directly so you can join Bravery, Brilliance, or Balance, switch between houses, or remove the badge. No install, no extension, runs in your browser.
Heads up: If you opened User Settings → Connections looking for the HypeSquad tab and it's gone, you're not crazy. Discord pulled the quiz UI. This tool restores access to the same endpoint the quiz used to call. See: How to get the HypeSquad badge in 2026.

Why this tool exists: Discord killed the quiz
Until recently, getting a HypeSquad badge took 30 seconds: open User Settings → Connections → HypeSquad, answer five personality questions, get sorted into Bravery, Brilliance, or Balance. The quiz appeared in Discord shortly after the original HypeSquad Events program was retired in 2018 and stayed there for years.
In 2026, Discord quietly removed the quiz tab. The HypeSquad UI is gone from User Settings — there's no in-app way to start the quiz, no "Find My House" button, no path for new users to join a house at all. Discord didn't announce a reason; the tab simply stopped appearing.
The underlying API, however, was never deprecated. The endpoint the quiz used to call — POST /api/v9/hypesquad/online with a house_id of 1 (Bravery), 2 (Brilliance), or 3 (Balance) — still works exactly as before. Same goes for DELETE /api/v9/hypesquad/online for removing the badge.
This tool calls those endpoints directly from your browser, replacing the missing quiz UI. If you already have a HypeSquad house from before the quiz removal, you can use it to switch. If you never got around to taking the quiz, this is now the only way to get the badge.
How the bookmarklet works
The bookmarklet is fully self-contained — the entire script is base64-encoded inside the bookmark URL itself, so it doesn't fetch anything from this site when you click it. That's deliberate: Discord's Content Security Policy blocks dynamic <script src="...">injections from external origins, but it allows eval() via its 'unsafe-eval' directive, so the bookmarklet decodes its payload and executes it that way.
Once running, the script reads your Discord auth token from Discord's own running code (the same token your browser is already using on every Discord API call), then makes a single request to the HypeSquad endpoint when you click a house. The UI is rendered inside a Shadow DOM so it doesn't collide with Discord's own styles. You can drag the popup around, close it with the X button, or use the eye and copy buttons next to your token if you want to inspect or save it. Nothing leaves your browser — there's no analytics, no telemetry, no server-side logging. The source is published unminified at /tools/hypesquad-switcher/src so you can read every line before clicking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wait — Discord removed the HypeSquad quiz?
Yes. As of 2026, Discord has retired the HypeSquad quiz from the User Settings page. The 'HypeSquad' tab in Connections no longer shows the personality quiz that used to sort new users into Bravery, Brilliance, or Balance. For users who never took the quiz before it was removed, there's no longer an in-app way to get the badge. The underlying API endpoint that the quiz used to call (/api/v9/hypesquad/online) still works, though — which is exactly what this tool uses.
Is the HypeSquad badge still obtainable in 2026?
Yes — but only via the API endpoint that the old quiz used internally. Discord didn't deprecate the endpoint itself, just the quiz UI in front of it. This tool calls that endpoint directly so you can still join Bravery, Brilliance, or Balance and get the badge on your profile. If you already had a HypeSquad house, you keep it; switching and removing also still work.
What is the Discord HypeSquad Switcher?
A tiny bookmarklet (a JavaScript snippet you drop on your bookmarks bar) that calls Discord's HypeSquad API directly from the Discord web app — the same endpoint the now-removed quiz used to call. Click it on discord.com, pick a house, done. No extension, no install, no server.
Is it free?
Yes. Completely free, open source, and runs entirely in your browser. The full source code is published at discord.dog/tools/hypesquad-switcher/src — read every line before you click anything.
Is it safe? Will my account get banned?
The HypeSquad endpoint is a regular Discord API call. Calling it is not against Discord's ToS — it's the same call the official client used to make whenever you took the quiz. Don't spam it, though. Switch houses sparingly, the way a normal user would. Your token never leaves your browser; we don't run any server.
Do I have to install anything?
No install, no extension, no app. Just drag the button to your bookmarks bar. When you click it on discord.com, a small popup opens inside Discord. You can close it anytime — nothing persists, nothing is stored.
How does it get my Discord token?
When Discord runs in your browser, it loads your auth token into the page's JavaScript context to make its own API calls. The bookmarklet reads it from there using Discord's standard webpack module system — the same technique that's been documented in browser DevTools tutorials for years. The token never leaves your browser. If automatic detection fails (e.g. Discord changes its bundle), the tool falls back to letting you paste it manually.
Can I remove my HypeSquad badge entirely?
Yes. The tool includes a 'Remove HypeSquad badge' button that calls Discord's DELETE /api/v9/hypesquad/online endpoint, which clears your house assignment completely and removes the badge from your profile.
What's the difference between Bravery, Brilliance, and Balance?
They're three HypeSquad sub-houses introduced in 2018 after Discord retired the original HypeSquad Events program. Bravery is purple (daring, spirited), Brilliance is red (inquisitive, sharp), and Balance is green (calm, considerate). The houses are purely cosmetic — they grant a profile badge and nothing else.
Does it work on Discord mobile or the desktop app?
No. Bookmarklets only run inside web browsers. Open discord.com in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, then click the bookmarklet. The popup appears inside your Discord browser tab. The badge change you make there shows up on every other Discord client — mobile, desktop app, embedded — because it's stored on Discord's side, not locally.
Where can I see the source code?
The full, unminified source is published as plain text at discord.dog/tools/hypesquad-switcher/src. You can read every line before you click anything.
