Plan Your Achievement Completion
Unlock Playrooms' 30 Steam achievements through room entry, complete cleanup, ball deliveries, filled pits, upgrades, hidden collectibles, a single-colour pit and Hardcore completion. Track collectibles in stats.exe and compare your remaining goals with the Steam achievement checklist.
- Reserve an empty pit for Colour is a distraction before ordinary deliveries mix its colours.
- Purchase the area keys as you earn money to open the routes for entry and cleanup goals.
- Check stats.exe under Overview → Progress to compare your collected objects and Sparrows with the collectible targets.
- Complete the ball pits and take the Playroom exit to finish the main progression goals.
- Review your remaining Steam achievements to choose the cleanup, upgrades, hidden finds or Hardcore run you still need.
Room Access and Complete Cleanup
Entering an area, buying its key and clearing its loose balls are separate goals. Door Operator checks your key purchases, while the individual entry achievements require you to visit the areas. A full pit does not mean its surrounding area is completely clean.

Ball Deliveries, Filled Pits and the Exit
| Achievement | Requirement | Unlock Action |
|---|---|---|
| Hooray | Complete the first pit. | Deliver its required 1,500 balls. |
| 10.000 reasons to quit | Deliver 10,000 units. | Keep depositing balls until total deliveries reach the target. |
| And they keep coming | Deliver 100,000 units. | Continue delivering balls throughout pit progression. |
| Model employee | Fill all eight pits. | Complete the pits' combined requirement of 199,000 balls. |
| Clock out | Take the Chapter 1 exit. | After filling every pit, leave through the rear double push doors in the Playroom. |
Deliveries count when balls enter the collection system, so empty carried loads before judging your pit progress. Completing the pits lets you take the exit without clearing every leftover ball. Keep full-area cleanup on your checklist as a separate objective.
Hand Skills and Equipment Upgrades
| Achievement | Requirement | Unlock Action |
|---|---|---|
| Mighty Hand | Fully upgrade every Hand skill. | Maximize Big Pockets, Quick Grab, Vacuum Collect, Long Arms and Ball Magnet in skills.exe. |
| A new colleague | Buy your first robot vacuum. | After filling Pit 6 with 40,000 balls, buy the €10 charging station and €8 robot through shop.exe. |
| Fully equipped | Purchase and maximize the available tools and upgrades. | Finish the skill and equipment upgrade groups, including the later tools. |
For Fully equipped, include Hand, Ball Pit, Light, Legs, Flashlight, Push Broom and Ball Vacuum upgrades. The later equipment groups cover Ball Vents, Robot Vacuums, Coffee, Fruit Basket, Hand Vacuum and Inventory Scanner. Finish your single-colour challenge before investing in Ball Magnet if you want easier control over pickups.
Sparrows, Office Decorations and Hidden Finds
| Achievement | Requirement | Where to Start |
|---|---|---|
| First sparrow | Rescue a Sparrow. | Inspect the light-blue round stool in the Playroom. |
| All the chirps | Collect all 20 Sparrows. | Search furniture, raised surfaces, lockers and Hotel guest rooms; confirm each Collect interaction. |
| Eagle Eye | Take all 14 office decorations. | Follow the office item checklist and examine each decoration before taking it. |
| Free Lexi | Find the cat. | Check the Office's third left-side elevator. |
| Out of water | Find the whale. | Enter the Green Office maze from the Waiting Area's left hallway, through the first door on the right. |
For a missing Sparrow, revisit both hiding places at Ball Pit 6: the padded rim and the top of the black count display. Check actual pickups rather than counting places you have visited. Object and Sparrow counters appear in stats.exe after you have collected an example of the corresponding type.
- Leave the Green Office entrance room and turn right at the first T-junction.
- Follow the hallway to the next T-junction and turn left.
- Round the corner and continue to the hallway's end, passing the side paths.
- Turn the final corner to reach the whale room straight ahead.
Single-Colour Pits and Hardcore Completion
| Achievement | Requirement | How to Prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Colour is a distraction | Fill an entire pit using a single colour. | Use the first pit's 1,500-ball target and collect manually. |
| No re-hires needed | Complete a Hardcore run. | Select Hardcore; a deathless Normal or Cozy run does not satisfy this condition. |
- Choose a colour you can distinguish easily before collecting for your reserved pit.
- Collect the chosen colour manually to keep magnets, robots and vents from adding unwanted colours.
- Deposit only matching-colour loads into the target pit, since deposited balls cannot be removed.
- Empty an accidentally mixed bag into another pit to protect your single-colour attempt.
- Continue matching-colour deliveries until the reserved pit is completely filled.
Learn the facility before attempting Hardcore, because getting caught deletes its save. Keep School corridors walking-only and answer ringing Office phones promptly. Complete the pit progression and finish the run; collecting every remaining loose ball is unnecessary for this challenge.
