Roadmap:

 

The game is a fairly simple offline quiz game that requires 2 controllers to platinum. Not all sections require 2 controllers but you can use two to get some trophies making them much easier. It’s a fairly long grind to win 50 quizzes and to win 50 Stat Attax games but you can win every time by playing against a second player who you can answer wrong for every question. Difficulty only matters where I have mentioned in the guide. Quest Mode you can complete on Easy Mode. The Big 50 trophy is missable so as you go through the Quest Mode if you don't know an answer pause the game and look it up on the internet.

 

Step 1: Stat Attax Mode

Complete this mode first as at the beginning there are fewer cards. This will save you a few hours over the 50 required games. This will automatically unlock Stat Attax Novice, Stat Attacker, and Top Stat Attacker. You should also clear up the Full House, Tie Breaker, and Lost 5 trophies.

 

It doesn't matter which order you complete them in after that but I personally found it best to do Quest Mode next.

 

Step 2: Quest Mode

Play through each of the four series and make sure you look at the trophy description for The Big 50 as this trophy is missable. You will automatically unlock Predator, Amazing, Dangerous, and Fish Face trophies whilst playing through Quest Mode.

 

Step 3: Puzzles

I'd do puzzle mode after Quest Mode as a lot of the required puzzle pieces are unlocked during Quest Mode. You can do these during Quest Mode if you wish however.

 

Step 4: Quiz Leaderboards

I'd do these last as they take the longest. It has been found that Mega Quiz doesn't count towards the Quiz Genius trophy.

Trophy Guide

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/02.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngStat Attax Novice

Win a game of Stat Attax

 

Very simple. Just go into Stat Attax mode in the menu screen, choose a short game and choose to have two players on different teams that you control. This will mean you can win by answering wrongly for the second player. How Stat Attax works is that you both pick a card which has four stats to choose from. The way to win the cards is to have the highest value of stat. So if a card has a value of 96 for speed and you believe the other card has a lower value then choose that. Then with the other controller choose the card which you think will have a lower speed (from a choice of two). Example: If you have a Cheetah card which has a speed of 100, select that stat and NO card will be able to beat it.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/03.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngGeneral Knowledge

Win an 80 question multi-team game of Mega Quiz

 

Start up a round in Quiz Mode making sure to select the Mega Quiz pack of questions with the long quiz length (80 cards). You can again control two players with two controllers but make sure you put each on a different team. You can then go through the quiz answering questions right with one player and wrong with the other to easily obtain this trophy. You can select Easy Mode for this quiz and the questions are very easy most the time.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/04.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngPredator

Play all episodes in the Predators vs. Prey series

 

This is a trophy that is obtained whilst playing through the Quest Mode from the Menu Screen. This is the first quest that is available and you just select and play the different episodes within. When you play the last episode within the Predators vs. Prey series the trophy will pop up. You do not have to get through all the puzzles for this specific trophy. Just the episodes.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/05.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngTop of the Class

Score 10 out of 10 in any episode

 

Within the quest mode episodes on any Series you have to get through many different episodes. These episodes each have 10 questions and you must answer all 10 correctly to get this trophy. It is very easy as you can cheat and pause the game to look up the answer online. You can play the episodes on Easy also which makes it very simple. If you get a question wrong you can pause and quit rather than finish and retry but you should try to get all the questions right as The Big 50 trophy is missable. This trophy will pop after finishing the episode with a 10/10 score.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/06.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngFull House

Win a game of Stat Attax without losing a single card

 

This is very easy if you control both teams with two controllers. You just need to make sure your stat is always higher than the one you pick for the second controller. You can be unlucky and get rubbish cards but you’ll be able to manage this eventually after learning the values that each card has. To make it easier select the short length rather than medium or long games.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/07.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngAmazing

Play all episodes in the Amazing Planet series

 

See Predator trophy. As the trophy says you just play every episode within Quest Mode but this time within the Amazing Planet series which is the first series you unlock as you go through the quest mode.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/08.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngFamily Time

Play Quiz Mode with multiple players

 

Select Quiz Mode from the menu and put it on easy with 40 questions only. Have two controllers and put two players on the same team and just go through the quiz answering questions. This will pop at the end of the quiz.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/09.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngDangerous

Play all episodes in the Dangerous Encounters series

 

See Predator trophy. As the trophy says you need to play every episode within the Dangerous Encounters series which is the second series you unlock whilst playing through the Quest Mode.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/10.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngDecrypted

Use a cryptic clue to help you find a hidden episode

 

Within the Quest Mode every so often a Cryptic Clue will unlock which looks like an episode but has a question mark inside the circle. This will hint at an episode that is secretly hidden on the world map. You have to go to the place they are hinting at and search around until a yellow rectangle comes up whilst you are hovering over the area. Click the http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/Cross18x18.png button and the episode will unlock and you’ll get this trophy as a reward.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/11.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngFish Face

Play all episodes in the Aquatic Life series

 

See Predator trophy. As the trophy description says you need to play every episode within the Aquatic Life series which is the final series you unlock whilst playing through the Quest Mode.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/12.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngTie Breaker

Win a tie breaker in a game of Stat Attax

 

This can be quite tricky but you should be able to unlock this without too many problems. Set up a round of Stat Attax and choose a Long Round which can make it easier with two players that you can control. What you need to do to unlock this trophy is to pick a stat from your card that is the same value as the stat on the card chosen to go up against your card. This can be tricky but a fair few cards in each Series does have the same value. Within Predators vs. Prey a lot of the spiders have the same Speed stat. When you manage to choose two cards with the same stat value you’ll then have to win the cards by choosing a stat that’s higher than the second player’s card to win all four cards. The trophy will then pop up.

 

A few examples are:

 

Amazing Planet

Congo River and Mauna Kea with the same Danger Stat

Mammoth Caves and Lake Superior with same Remoteness Stat

 

Dangerous Encounters

Boa Constrictor and Alligator Snapping Turtle with same Speed Stat

Slave-Making Ants and Honey Bees with same Lifespan Stat

 

Aquatic Life

Red-Bellied Piranha, Sea Star, Spiny Seahorse, Clownfish, Blue-Ringed Octopus, Blue Crab and Pufferfish with same Size Stat

Humpback Whale and Blue Whale with same Aesthetics Stat

 

Predators vs. Prey

Polar Bear and Black Bear with same Ferocity Stat

Black Widow and Tarantula with same Speed Stat

In a team that only has one player, correctly answer a Quiz Mode question within 3 seconds

 

You’ll certainly get this whilst going for all the other Quiz Mode trophies. Make sure you only have 1 person on your team. You can be against somebody else but make sure you are alone on your team and just try and answer a question you know within 3 seconds and this will pop up. Some questions are very easy so you should have no trouble obtaining this Bronze trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/14.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngLong One

Complete a long quiz in any series

 

Very simple. Set up a Quiz Mode game on any difficulty, any series and choose to have 80 questions. Doesn’t matter whether you win or lose you’ll get this trophy automatically upon completing the quiz.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/15.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngLots of Pieces

Complete any Level 6 jigsaw

 

You need to play through the Quest Mode to be able to finish a Level 6 jigsaw. As you go through each series of the Quest Mode you’ll unlock new puzzle pieces after completing each episode. After finishing the first series which is Predators vs. Prey you’ll be able to do the puzzles associated with this series. Find the Level 6 Jigsaw either on the World Map or in the Puzzle Menu of the Main Menu and proceed to complete the Jigsaw. Upon successful completion you’ll unlock this trophy. Jigsaws are very easy on this game. Just get the outside perimeter of the puzzle in place first and then complete the insides. You really shouldn’t have a problem with this.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/16.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngWhat Competition

Win 15 multi-team games in Quiz Mode

 

This trophy may unlock later than expected. I am sure I won more than 15 before this popped. It was more around the 20-25 wins region. But to get it you just start up a Quiz Mode round with you against your second controller on a different team and choose wrong answers with controller 2 so you win. After 15 wins you’ll achieve this trophy but if not it'll unlock soon after. Choose options as Easy with Short rounds (40 questions) as it’ll make them a lot quicker.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/17.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngMy First Puzzle

Complete any puzzle

 

Very Easy trophy. Simply start a puzzle in Quest Mode or from the Puzzle section of the Main Menu and complete it for this trophy to pop. You can do either Jigsaw, Square or Slider puzzles for this.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/18.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.png4 Sliders

Complete a slider in each series

 

Within the main menu you’ll have 3 different types of puzzle to select. Choose slider and you’ll then have a choice of series. You need to complete 1 slider puzzle from each series. This will not be possible until you’ve gone through Quest Mode to the point of unlocking the Aquatic Life series however. When you’ve done this just complete 1 slider puzzle in each and the trophy will pop. For help with slider puzzles see Puzzle Genius trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/19.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngAmazing Squares

Find all of the square puzzles in Amazing Planet

 

These can be tricky to find. Within quest mode you’ll unlock Amazing Planet when you get towards the end of the Predators vs. Prey section of the mode. Within this area complete the episodes and then you can get this trophy by searching around for hidden puzzles. Like the cryptic clues these will come up with a yellow rectangle when you hover over them with your pointer, however, unlike the cryptic clues you get no information as to where they are located on the map. When a yellow rectangle comes up press the http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/Cross18x18.png button to find and add the puzzle to the puzzle menu. You need to find all 6 in this series to unlock this trophy. You don’t have to complete the puzzles just find them. To aid you in a search here is where they are located.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/20.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngYou’re A Card

Unlock 10 new Stat Attax cards

 

When you go through Quest Mode and complete episodes you unlock items after successfully completing an episode. These can be puzzle pieces, cryptic clues, new episodes or Stat Attax cards. After you’ve unlocked 10 new cards this trophy will pop up. It won't be too far into the Quest Mode that you’ll unlock this and it’s impossible to miss.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/21.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngThat’s Easy

Score 2,500 points in any 40 question quiz at Easy Level

 

You can obtain this trophy at the same time as the Team Work trophy which is the next trophy listed. What you should do is set up a Quiz Mode round on any series but make sure you set the difficulty to Easy and the length of quiz to 40 questions. Put both you and your second controller on the same team and start the quiz. You need to score 2,500 points for this trophy but you want to aim to get 2700 points as you’ll unlock the next trophy at the same time. To easily do this you can read the question and quickly pause the game to look for the answer on the internet. You can get over 3,000 points fairly easily so you shouldn’t have a problem and if you go through the Quest Mode first you’ll probably have seen all the questions before anyway. This will pop after the quiz if you score greater than 2,500 points. Make sure you bet 100 points in the rounds that you need to bet on in order to pick up the maximum amount of points.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/22.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_bronze.pngTeam Work

Score 2,700 points in any 40 question quiz when there are multiple players on the same team

 

See That’s Easy trophy description for more information. Basically you need to set up a Quiz Mode game on Easy difficulty with a short 40 question game. Make sure you put both controllers on the same team so you have 1 team taking part with 2 players and go through the quiz. Remember you can pause the game during a question to look up the answer on the internet. Score more than 2,700 and you’ll achieve this trophy. It’s very easy to get over 3,000 points so you can afford to get a few questions wrong.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/23.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngJigsaw Friends

Complete any 5 jigsaws with a friend

 

Very easy silver trophy. You need to open up enough puzzles through playing Quest Mode and unlocking puzzle pieces in order to get this trophy. With enough Jigsaw puzzles unlocked you should go to the Main Menu, open Jigsaw Puzzles, choose any puzzle (Level 1 being the easiest) and make sure you have 2 controllers switched on. Using the second controller put the perimeter of the jigsaw together and then switch controllers to fill in the rest. Do this for 5 different puzzles and this will unlock. I suggest doing each Level 1 jigsaw from each of the 4 series as well as one Level 2 puzzle. This will make getting the trophy a lot quicker. You could also complete jigsaws you hsve still yet to complete.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/24.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngStat Attacker

Win 25 games of Stat Attax

 

See Top Stat Attacker trophy description

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/25.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngMega Score

Score 3200 points in a 80 question quiz of Hard Mega Quiz

 

This is very easy for one reason. You can cheat and unless you are an animal/plant/planet expert I advise you do so as the questions are pretty tough. It’s possible to score way over 5,000 points so cheating will easily get you this trophy. Start a Quiz Mode game with just you playing on your own (no 2nd controller) and make sure you select MEGA QUIZ series of questions, HARD mode and the full 80 questions. When you’ve read each question if you don’t know the answer quickly pause the game and look it up on the internet. In the round where you bet money select 100 points to get the maximum amount of points but you should have 3,200 points safely bagged way before the end. Then this trophy will pop as the final screen comes up.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/27.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngMissing Pieces

Collect all of the missing jigsaw pieces

 

This trophy is obtained by going through Quest Mode and completing episodes. You’ll unlock this trophy after successfully completing every episode from all four series. Puzzle pieces unlock after each episode is finished. If it doesn’t unlock you’ve probably missed a cryptic clue episode somewhere. You’ll get this trophy at the same time as the Quest completion percentage reaches 100%. It doesn’t matter if you complete Quest Mode on Easy as trophies for that mode are non-difficulty specific.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/28.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngPerfect 30

Score 10 out of 10 in 30 episodes

 

Pretty self explanatory. This trophy is unlocked through completing Quest Mode and you have to get this trophy on route to getting 100% complete in Quest Mode. Basically each series has a whole load of episodes containing questions on different areas. Each episode having 10 questions. You need to answer all 10 right in 30 of the episodes in order to get this trophy. If you answer a question wrong whilst going through pause and quit and restart but try not to do this very often as The Big 50 is missable. Pause and look up the answer on the internet. The questions are the same set of 10 every time BUT any question where you need to say what you see or spot words from a group of letters can have a different answer. Every other question on a video or every standard question will have the same answer every time you perform the episode. On easy mode the questions are very easy anyway so you really shouldn’t have a problem. Just remember to pay close attention to information given and shown in video clips.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/29.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngThe Big 50

Score 10 out of 10 in 50 episodes without retrying

 

This trophy is missable. You need to successfully get through 50 episodes within Quest Mode without getting a question wrong and retrying. You can pause the game and look on the internet for the answer and also you can afford to get a few episodes that go wrong. You should get this early in the 3rd of 4 series if you don't mess up any episodes previously. I tried to Quit and restart rather than retry but I believe it classes this as a retry as I must have done over 90 now so unless anybody thinks differently this IS MISSABLE and I'd watch out whilst playing Quest Mode. I believe there are around 96 episodes all together but try and earn this as soon as possible.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/30.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngBrain Box

Win 30 multiplayer games

 

This is a strange description to say the least. Don't let it confuse you. You'll get this on the way to 50 multi-team game wins. Why it changes the terminology I have no idea. So just have player one on the red team, 2nd controller on the blue team and make sure the red team keeps winning. 30 wins and this trophy will pop up.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/31.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngNot Puzzled

Complete 35 different puzzles

 

There are 72 different puzzles in total and you’ve got to successfully finish 35 of them for this trophy to pop. You need to go through Quest Mode to unlock enough puzzles to get through 35 puzzles. You’ll unlock puzzle pieces so you can do more jigsaw puzzles and you’ll find secret square puzzles which you can then complete. For square puzzle locations see Amazing Squares and Square Hunter . For tips on puzzles see the Puzzle Genius trophy description. You can either click on puzzles on the World Map in Quest Mode or select them from the Puzzle menu on the Main Menu. If you haven’t got enough pieces to finish a jigsaw it’s because you need to do more episodes in Quest Mode to unlock the pieces.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/32.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngEasy or What

Score 10 out of 10 on your first attempt in any episode

 

Very straightforward silver trophy. You’ll probably get this without even trying. Throughout Quest Mode you’ll play episodes of 10 questions. Get all 10 questions correct first go and you’ll unlock this. If you get a question wrong you can pause and quit and open the episode again and when you get 10 correct finally it’ll unlock. Questions remain the same every time and only a couple of the questions will have different answers as mentioned in several previous trophy descriptions. Seen as though you need to do this 50 times for one of the trophies it’s wise to go for this in every episode you complete.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/572/33.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/trophy_silver.pngTop Stat Attacker

Win 50 games of Stat Attax

 

This is a dull grind I’m afraid. It’ll take a while to get 50 wins so be prepared. Select Stat Attax from Main Menu and choose any series of questions. Make sure you choose Short rounds and make sure you have a second controller to control a second team. This’ll make things quicker as you can purposefully lose with the second controller. The idea is to choose the card with the higher stat. So if you have a cheetah for example then choosing the Speed category will give you a guaranteed win against any card you choose with controller 2. Continue to do this and you’ll win the round with ease. Do this 25 times to unlock the Stat Attacker trophy and another 25 times to unlock the Top Stat Attacker trophy.

Win 50 multi-team games in Quiz Mode

 

This is painfully long to achieve and even though you can win every time using a second controller as the 2nd team you’ll have to answer 2000 questions to get this trophy. Choose quiz mode and any series of questions. Put controller 1 on the red team and controller 2 on the blue team and keep doing quiz after quiz. Easy Mode is preferred and 40 questions only is how to keep it as short as possible. Just keep at it and you’ll unlock this and the other trophies for 10, 15, 25 and 30 multi-team wins along the way.

Complete all puzzles

 

There are a total of 72 puzzles to complete. 24 Jigsaw puzzles, 24 Square puzzles and 24 Slider puzzles. You can complete them on the World Map in Quiz Mode or through the Puzzle menu on the Main Menu. You know which ones you’ve already completed by the time completed value. If you’ve set a time you’ve already completed it. Jigsaw puzzles are the easiest and slider puzzles are the hardest. If you aren’t used to puzzles the slider puzzles will be tough but I’ve got some great tips to hopefully help you out. There are different level numbers that give the difficulty of the puzzle.

 

Jigsaw Puzzles

 

These are the simplest puzzles to achieve. Most people have done many jigsaws in their lives so these shouldn’t pose a problem. If you run out of pieces you need to unlock them in the Quest Mode before being able to complete the puzzle. Always complete the perimeter of the jigsaw first and then start filling the insides of the puzzle in. These are very easy.

 

Square Puzzles

 

Look at the appropriate trophies to find out how to unlock these puzzles in quest mode. These are harder than jigsaw puzzles but are very similar. Rather than having cuts out of each piece in order to slot different pieces together, square puzzles are just made up of squares all having the same surface area. This makes it harder as you can’t easily find perimeter pieces. You are given help as when you put a correct piece in place in will lock into place for you. The best way to do these puzzles is to start with an object that’s easily noticed in the picture. For example a red fox in a green field. Find all the red fox pieces and put these together before working your way out towards other objects that are easily noticed. Trying to find perimeter pieces is very difficult. The only square puzzles that’ll pose a challenge are the higher levels that tend to have no objects that stand out and it’s more trial and error.

 

Slider Puzzles

 

These will have people who aren’t used to them throwing their controllers at the walls in disgust. 6x6 slider puzzles are always stupidly hard but I have a technique for you all which I really hope will help you all out. Basically you should start filling up the picture from the bottom right square going left. Get 5 images in place with the blank square in the bottom left corner. Then you should do the same for row 2 from the bottom of the puzzle. Before this you need to do something though. I'll try and explain this as best as I can. Imagine the bottom left corner is square [1,1] and top right is [5,5] where the first number is the column value and the second number is the row value. You need to get the image that will be in [1,2] in the final image to square [1,1]. To do this get the image to position [1,3]. Then the clever bit. You need to move the bottom left square of 4 images (including the blank) in a clockwise direction until the image that was in [2,1] is in [1,2]. Then you need to move the rectangle taking in [1,1] to [2,3] anti-clockwise. This will get the correct image back in [2,1] and the image that will end up in [1,2] in [1,1]. Repeat this for the next 3 rows until you have all but 2 rows in place. Then you need to start placing 2 rows at a time from the far right in order for it all to fit together. After putting these 2 rows together simply move the images in the first column into place. If you need more help PM me and I'll explain better. Hope you all understand.

You are at the top of each leaderboard

 

This is offline. You don’t have to beat everybody in the world. You just have to get to number one on all local leaderboards by beating the default scores. There are a total of 16 leaderboards that you must top. All of which are easily achievable. The first leaderboard is linked with quiz mode and on your way to getting the Nat Geo Researcher trophy you’ll automatically be at the top of the leaderboard. Then the other 15 leaderboards are associated with Quiz Mode. You need to do every kind of quiz excluding Mega Quiz (4 series) on every quiz length (40, 60 and 80 questions). You can do them all on Easy Mode. You need to beat 3,000 points on 40 question quizzes, 4,000 points on 60 question quizzes and 5,000 points on 80 question quizzes. The longer the quiz the easier it is to get on top of the leaderboard. Feel free to cheat and pause the game to look up answers on the internet when required and you should have no problems getting to the top of the leaderboards. Upon finishing the last quiz this trophy will pop. DON'T USE A SECOND TEAM FOR THIS. JUST A SINGLE PLAYER GAME (1 person on red team and nobody else playing. If you have more than 1 person involved the score will not count.). Note:- The Mega Quiz Leaderboard DOESN'T count.

Complete Quest Mode with a score of 100%

 

To do this you must get Quest Mode to 100% completion. To find out your current percentage you can open Quest Mode and see what percentage is shown below the yellow house icon. To increase the percentage you need to complete episodes in each series. Puzzles don’t count towards the percentage. Each Series gives 25% of the total and you should aim to get 10/10 in every episode by quitting and restarting as soon as you get a question wrong. If you feel you have completed every episode and it hasn’t unlocked you’ve probably missed a crafty cryptic episode. As soon as you finish the last episode successfully this will unlock. Quest Mode can be completed on ANY difficulty so select Easy to give yourself an easier time.

Unlock all 40 trophies

 

This will unlock when you've received all 40 non-DLC trophies in the game. Trophies with plus signs in the top left corner do not count towards this achievement.

 

Secret Trophies:

You have answered all 10 questions incorrectly in any episode

 

Very easy. Within Quest Mode select any episode. Answer all 10 questions incorrectly and after the episode this trophy will be yours.

You have lost 5 Stat Attax matches in a row

 

Start up a Stat Attax round and make sure you put yourself on the red team and nobody else. You need to lose against the computer opponent 5 times for this to unlock. Just purposefully pick rubbish cards to lose 5 times in a row and this will then unlock for you. Make sure you don’t control the second team otherwise this will not unlock.

Nice job on getting the guide out so fast man :)

 

 

 

30-40 hours on a quiz game, I am not so sure this is for me.

I'm afraid to say I'm very conservative with my estimates also. It'll have taken me around 60 hours to plat but I wrote guide, had to find out about missable trophy the hard way and had to find secret trophies without help :) So 30-40 is a minimum.

Hey!

Thank you for the guide! I just got the game 2 days ago and did not start playing it until reading your guide. As for the "The Big 50" trophy, I'm pretty sure you're right that exiting the current episode counts as a try.

 

As I mentioned, I only started after reading your guide, so I don't have "Easy or What (Score 10 out of 10 on your first attempt in any episode)" yet. I played an episode, got an answer wrong and immediately exited the episode. After I finished with 10/10 on the same episode, I did NOT get the "Easy or What" trophy. So sadly, exiting the episode counts as a fail. :( I hope I can get The Big 50 anyways... :(

 

Thanks again!

Cheers for that info. I only decided to write the guide after I had obtained that trophy. There are plenty to get 50 on but you need to be careful as they soon run out. Knowing you can't redo them to get 10 will make people more cautious. I believe there are 24 episodes on each area but this may vary per series. You should be fine though. Best of luck in getting the plat.

Phew, after spending my whole day with this game I realized that this is going to take more time than I expected for me to get the platinum. I got one small tip though, before you do to much in the quest mode try to do 50 stat attax wins, why? because when you play in the quest mode you will unlock more cards fore your decks and that means it will take a litte more time for every victory. It will proably save some time. Other than that, thanks for the guide it must been difficult to find out the secret trophies.

 

Is this Europe only? Is it anything like Buzz?

 

It seems like it's Euroe only, and about the Buzz question I have no idea. It's just like a regular Quiz game I guess with one question with four options to choose from. It also have three diffrent types of puzzels to play and stat attax wich is a card game, and I found the card game to be quite funny actually. You can also play with a friend if you want to do that. Oh I almost forgot about the pictures and videos in the game, it has some very nice footage around the earth and you will definitely learn something while you play it :)

here's another tip that i just found......... at least on the US version.

 

 

get teh 50 games of stat attacks BEFORE starting quest mode.

 

why?

 

when the game starts there are only 10 stat attack cards in each hand insteadof 15. last night i started playing and was able to get a hand of stat attacks done in 3-4 minutes.

 

if you wait till after the quest mode there are more stat attack cards in play and it will take way longer to get the 50 games.

 

 

just a suggestion (this is my second time through the game so i've already done it the other way and trust me, this is way easier )

 

-----------

 

Edit.

 

just finish stat attack game #50. not starting quest mode saved me 4-5 minutes per stat attack game. 4 x 50 = 200 minutes. so by doing this i saved myself somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 hours of play.

 

 

so do what you want, if you're getting the platinum, that's the way to go

You are at the top of each leaderboard

 

 

update.

 

 

i don't think that hte mega quiz board counts. i had no spots on that, got quest and the other 4 episodes done, and the trophy popped

 

I can confirm this. Same situation, topped the quest and other 4 episodes and the trophy popped without having to deal with the mega quiz leaderboard.
