Introduction:
The game is pretty fun if you like being challenged in games. There are no missable or glitched trophies registered by now so you won’t have to worry about that. Playing through story mode is pretty fast, but doing all the challenges will take some time (probably most of your time). The multiplayer trophies can be done rather quickly and is a good way to learn the basic steering of the game. The key in this game is patience and practice! You’ll spend some time finding your personal sweet spot in every game, but when you’ve done so, the game is easy enough and quite enjoyable. I could have listed some tips, but since they are specific for every game and the game overall I’ve included them in the trophy guide for the four gold trophies. Have fun playing the game!
Walktrough:
Step 1: Getting to know the game - multiplayer:
Setup your user, but instead of starting the story go into party mode. Play each of the 28 games - some with two move-controllers, some using only one. Play at least one round of Pick and Play and one round of Party Time.
This is an easy step that should be completed rather quickly.
Note: this step can be done at another time if you don't want to start with it - though I would advise you to start with it. That way you'll get to know the game and learn some of the games.
Trophies you should work towards in step 1:
Any Way
My Way
Every Way
Pass It
Side-By-Side
Step 2: Story time - playing the story:
Now that you've done the multiplayer part and you've gotten to learn how the game works you're ready to play the story. Play through the story, completing at least two challenges of each of the games to unlock the next game and so on. This step will net you a fair number of trophies and shouldn't be difficult as you can choose freely between the challenges.
Feel free to refer to the four gold trophies where I've written some tips for every single game!

The Way Home

Step 3: The difficult part - completing the challenges:
This is without a doubt the most difficult part of the game. This is also mainly where people give up on the platinum. In this step, you're going to replay every type of games where you haven't completed every nine challenges - this will most likely be all the 35 games. But fear not! Most of the challenges can be gotten after a few rounds of practice. Also every time you complete a challenge you've had some problems with you'll have a good feeling of having accomplished something!

Tree House Way Master
Step 4: Big spender - use your tickets:
Those tickets you've won through part 2 and 3 can't, sadly, be used in real life so you might as well use them in-game. To buy every prize in the game you'll need a total of 1785 tickets. To buy every balloon you'll need at least 180 tickets (but I would advise you to have around 450-500 tickets. See why in Balloon Boon. If we include the 300 tickets for Magic Mirror you'll need around 2500-2600 tickets. This shouldn't be a problem as I personally had 4680 tickets after completing the challenges. This step is in no way challenging.
Trophies you should work towards in step 4:
Chotchkies!

Step 5: The clean-up - get whatever you might have missed:
If you haven't been playing with the toys, haven't been listening to all the gossip or haven't taken the 36 pictures know is the time - I assume you want that shiny platinum know?
Look at the trophies in the trophy guide for help if needed.
