Unpacking achievement guide: all 25 objects, actions, and years to revisit

A PC guide to actions for all 25 achievements rather than unlock percentages. Separate hints and solutions cover coffee equipment, plants, underwear, and all seven toilets.

Edition: Unpacking PC (Steam) base game. Normal placement rules are the baseline; Allow items anywhere is explained separately. Covers 25 Steam achievements, excluding the PlayStation platinum and mobile or Unpacking+ specifics

Verification scope: Public sources cross-checked on 2026-10-04. Installed build and every possible placement cell have not been exhaustively tested. Left/right clicks refer to PC defaults; use current bindings if changed

Return to the relevant year for Steam's 25 achievements

Steam's public page lists 25 achievements. This guide explains the object, year, and action rather than using unlock percentages as a difficulty rating. Official English achievement names provide a cross-check against the Japanese version.

  1. Check the locked achievement's name in Steam
  2. Choose a year to revisit from the targets below
  3. Open the specific answer and perform its required placement or action
  4. Verify the unlock in Steam as well as the in-game notification

PlayStation has a platinum trophy for earning every other trophy, but it is not added to Steam's 25. Unlock percentages change over time and are not repeated as fixed values here.

Revisiting through the album and free-placement cautions

Revisit completed years through their album photos. First try the action with the arranged room intact; many achievements do not require unpacking everything again.

  1. Open the relevant year in the same album
  2. For appliance achievements, right-click the placed object instead of picking it up
  3. For shape-changing achievements, hold the item and right-click repeatedly
  4. For alignment achievements, place the objects on the same surface, then check for a notification

You can pursue achievements with Allow items anywhere enabled, but required actions are not automatic. Green thumb in particular involves normal correct-placement checks.

Open answers for normal progression achievements

Eight achievements are earned by finishing each year and selecting its completion star. Including unpacking the camera in the first year gives nine.

Open answers for additional 1997 achievements

The first room lets you try actions beyond placing objects.

Open answers for additional 2004 achievements

You need the artist's model, cookie jar, and an electrical appliance. You can revisit from the album after finishing the room.

Electrical hazard is an in-game condition. After checking the notification, return the object to normal safe storage to continue the placement puzzle. Do not imitate this with real electrical appliances.

Open answers for additional 2007 achievements

The key actions involve moving objects between rooms and operating them after placing them.

2010: open Tidy whities solution

The targets are underwear already inside the bedroom wardrobe, not the protagonist's underwear unpacked from boxes.

  1. Open the wardrobe and check its upper two drawers
  2. Gather the scattered existing underwear into one drawer
  3. Rotate items if necessary to fit, and keep the protagonist's underwear elsewhere
  4. Collect every target and check for the unlock notification

Color order and straight rows are not required. Remember any target items you moved to other shelves. The English achievement name is Tidy whities.

2010: open Brew some coffee solution

Gather the existing coffee-making equipment onto the same counter. Check equipment already placed in the room as well as cupboards and drawers, rather than searching only boxes.

  1. Clear a spacious counter, such as the central one, for the equipment
  2. Take out all the objects listed above and arrange them on the same counter
  3. If it does not unlock, check the original cupboards and drawers for small drink-making tools or a forgotten cup
  4. After the notification, you may restore normal storage

Wide tables scroll horizontally.

2010: open Brew some coffee solution: 7 entries
Object to findApproximate starting locationVisual clue

Coffee grinder nearbyBeside the brewing machineSmall appliance; equipment already on counters is also a candidate

Coffee bagUpper-left cupboardBrown bag
Pour-over equipmentUpper-left cupboardNarrow-waisted container with a filter above
White mugCentral upper cupboardBring out the drinking vessel as well as equipment
KettleLower drawers on the rightExisting water-heating vessel with features such as a black handle

The English achievement name is Brew some coffee. Sources disagree on equipment names, the minimum count, and whether sugar or press equipment is required, so this guide does not assert that exactly these seven items are mandatory. The table helps locate commonly mentioned objects by shape and original location.

2012: open Rediscover childhood solution

Open the storage beneath the window, take out the old rolled poster, and hang it on the wall. The English achievement name is Rediscover childhood.

  1. Look inside the under-window storage, not only the new boxes
  2. Pick up the old rolled poster and move it to a clear wall
  3. Hang it unrolled and check the notification

This is separate from the photo that normal progression asks you to store away.

Open answers for additional 2013 achievements

The kitchen's two achievements require changing displays or arrangements, beyond simply putting items in the correct room.

This equation is a confirmed example in the source. Try it without assuming whether other equations work or how few actions are required. Operate the placed microwave instead of rotating it.

2015: open Green thumb solution

Place every plant in a location accepted by normal rules. Many start outside boxes, so organizing plants before unpacking helps you keep track of them.

  1. Check pots in the living room, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen
  2. Include the small workspace cactus from the previous year, using ten pots as a checklist
  3. Place them on suitable shelves or counters, such as beneath the living-room window
  4. Check that none remain inside storage or on unsuitable surfaces
  5. If you completed the year with free placement, return to 2015 and reposition plants to meet normal placement conditions

The English name is Green thumb. Finishing the year with free placement does not necessarily satisfy it automatically. The small cactus is easy to miss, so do not stop after checking only the four rooms with boxes.

2015: open Fuzzy friends solution

Put the new tiger stuffed toy beside the existing pig stuffed toy. The English achievement name is Fuzzy friends.

  1. Gather the pig and tiger on a surface such as a bed in the same room
  2. Adjust their orientation and place them side by side
  3. If there is no response, check the gap and move them to neighboring cells

Place them beside each other, not stacked. The same pair is also available in 2018, so this can be recovered later.

2018: open Baby builder solution

Stack five small nursery blocks vertically. The English achievement name is Baby builder. This is not a puzzle about arranging letters into a word.

  1. Unpack nursery blocks and gather them on a clearly visible surface
  2. Use one as a base and add the others one at a time
  3. Build a five-block tower and check the notification

Five blocks in a horizontal row do not form a tower. Zoom in and aim at the lower block's top surface if stacking is difficult.

Gotta flush 'em all solution: count seven toilets

Point at each year's toilet and right-click to flush it. Confirm a flushing response rather than only moving the seat or lid.

  1. If you flushed only one toilet in the final house, visit the other one
  2. If still locked, revisit the six years listed above in the same album and flush all seven toilets in sequence
  3. Revisit completed photos to check without unpacking and arranging everything again

Gotta flush 'em all solution: count seven toilets: 6 entries
YearTarget countRoom to check
20041Bathroom toilet
20071Bathroom toilet
20101Bathroom toilet
20131Bathroom toilet
20151Bathroom toilet
20182Both the large bathroom toilet and the small toilet room's toilet

There are no target toilets in 1997 or 2012. The English achievement name is Gotta flush 'em all. Combining progress across albums has not been tested here, so the instructions check every target within one album.

When the achievement still does not appear unlocked

First check that you have the correct target and action state. An achievement remaining locked does not mean you need to delete the album.

  1. Match Steam's locked achievement name to the guide's English name and its Japanese counterpart
  2. Return to the relevant year and check whether the action requires the item held or placed
  3. For collection conditions, find any targets moved to other rooms: small plant pots, existing underwear, and coffee equipment including the cup
  4. Reposition items one by one while checking both in-game notifications and Steam
  5. If still uncertain, record the year, settings, and a screen showing the target, then consult official support instructions

This source comparison cannot diagnose Steam display delays or bugs. It does not recommend untested claims such as reinstalling being guaranteed to fix it.

Frequently asked questions

Must I restart from the beginning for all achievements?

Normally, revisit the target year from the album. Do not reset finished arrangements or the album first merely to pursue an achievement.

Does free placement disable achievements?

You can still pursue them, but individual conditions remain. Perform each action and put plants on surfaces accepted under normal rules.

Does Steam also have 26 achievements?

Steam's public list has 25. PlayStation lists totaling 26 include an additional platinum for earning every other trophy.
