Cookie Crumbler
Hidden achievement27.5% of players
Medium~Hidden
Hidden achievement — a secret action, exact trigger unconfirmed.

A hidden achievement with no public description yet. The playful name suggests a secret interaction rather than a milestone — likely tied to a specific item, customer, or easter-egg action in the shop. Experiment with unusual interactions (clicking decor, special customers, seasonal or themed items). We'll fill in the exact steps once it's confirmed.

Party Animal
Host 20 events in your shop. · 25.8% of players
Medium~Late game
Host 20 events.

20 events hosted. Make hosting a habit each time the option refreshes; it doubles as a community-points engine, so it pays for itself.

Trashy
Leave 20 pieces of trash lying around your store. · 25.5% of players
Easy~Any time
Deliberately leave 20 pieces of trash lying around.

The opposite of tidy. Stop cleaning and let 20 pieces of trash pile up on the floor at once. Easiest done on purpose in a single messy session — let a busy day's litter accumulate, grab the achievement, then clean it all up after it pops.

Unpaid Therapist
Complete 13 customer stories. · 22.2% of players
Medium~Late game
Complete 13 customer stories.

13 customer stories — most of the story content in the game. Prioritise story customers whenever they appear; chasing these is the main thing that turns a casual playthrough into a completion run.

Highscore!
Reach a Shop Score of 150. · 21.9% of players
Medium~Late game
Reach a Shop Score of 150.

Shop Score reflects your overall shop quality. Push it to 150 by maxing organisation, keeping shelves full and themed, and decorating well. It tends to come together once you've expanded a few rooms and tidied everything.

Perfectionist
Reach the highest level of organisation for 3 categories on one day. · 20.1% of players
Medium~Mid game
Max organisation for 3 categories in one day.

Get three product categories to their highest organisation tier on the same in-game day. Pick three categories, group them perfectly (by colour or theme) and fully stock them before the day rolls over. Focusing on just three at a time is the trick.

My Money Don’t Jiggle Jiggle
Save up 5000 coins. · 16.5% of players
Medium~Late game
Save up 5,000 coins.

The largest savings milestone — 5,000 coins in the bank at once. Bank your sales income and avoid big purchases for a stretch. Easiest after you've expanded a few rooms and daily sales are strong.

Decor-nnoisseur
Change the floors, wallpapers and wall toppers in your shop 50 times. · 15.6% of players
Easy~Any time
Change floors, wallpaper and wall toppers 50 times.

Swap your floor, wallpaper and wall toppers 50 times total. If you're chasing it directly, just toggle back and forth between two options in the customisation menu — every change counts, even if you switch straight back.

Shopping Deity
Buy 100 pieces of furniture for your shop. · 14.8% of players
Medium~Late game
Buy 100 pieces of furniture.

Buy 100 pieces of furniture across your shop. The cheapest decorations count the same as the priciest, so once your coins are healthy you can spam low-cost items to finish the count.

Pillar of the community
Receive a total amount of 9000 community points. · 14.0% of players
Hard~Endgame
Earn 9,000 community points total.

9,000 community points — the long-haul community goal and one of the last things you'll finish. Maintain top-tier organisation every day and host events regularly to keep the points flowing.

Ca-ching!
Hidden achievement11.3% of players
Easy~Hidden
Hidden achievement — almost certainly a money or sales milestone.

This achievement is hidden, so Steam doesn't display the exact trigger. Going by the name and the game's economy, it's most likely awarded for a large single sale or crossing an earnings threshold — so it tends to pop naturally as your shop becomes profitable. Keep selling and banking coins and it should unlock on its own. We'll confirm the exact condition and update this.
