Road Map

Step 1: Complete 50 episodes of the Game Show.
While going through 50 episodes for the Super-Star! trophy, you will no doubt earn the majority of the other trophies. Note that you do not have to win, just complete 50 episodes.

The only trophies you should really try for at this point is Knock 'em Down & Scrabble Flash Veteran. For Knock 'em Down, when playing Yahtzee Bowling do not keep any pins and roll again. You can do this 3 times thus earning you 15 pins toward the 600 each game. At game 40 Silver Trophy Knock 'em Down will pop. For Scrabble Flash Veteran, simply try to earn as many points as you can during Scrabble Flash. If you need help, try Scrabble Helper, Literati Word Builder - Scrabble help.

Some tips to make the games go faster after you've earned the majority of trophies:

For Bop It!, do nothing. In 18-20 seconds the computer opponent will win.
For Connect 4 Basketball don't move left or right, just shoot the ball while aimed at column 4. The computer usually aims elsewhere and you can repeat this to get a vertical victory. This will also get you the Hot-Shot trophy if done in under 45 seconds.
I don't have any tips to make the game go faster for Scrabble Flash. For me this was the best game of the 5 games, certainly the most fun as well. You can try Scrabble Helper, Literati Word Builder - Scrabble help if you need help with finding words. Just remember they must be family friendly words. For example one set of letters you'll see is P, A, R, S, E however RAPES and ARSE are not accecptable words.
Sorry Sliders, again as with Connect 4 Basketball just shoot your slider.
For Yahtzee Bowling roll once then accept the hand. But be sure to do this after you have earned Knock 'em Down.

Step 2: Individual games
Time to play the games outside of the game show format. Play each game once to earn Bronze Trophy Snack-Time and Silver Trophy Snack-Pack. You will also want to go for Extreme Bop It's Gold Trophy 2 the Max trophy, Speed Shot in Connect 4 Basketball Speed Shot, Quick Thinking in Scrabble Five-Letter Flash, Sorry Sliders Sumo! in Sorry Sumo Sliders and Dead Eye in Yahtzee Bowling Crazy Lane.

Step 3: Clean up.
Missing anything? Well now is the time to earn any trophies you may have overlooked.

Boptician

Hit 20 Bop It! commands in a row without missing
See Whack-a-matic.
Whack-a-matic

Hit 30 Bop It! commands in a row without missing
I recommend 2 players for this trophy as I was unable to earn it with a computer opponent. You could also try to use 2 controllers by yourself. During Bop It, the announcer will shout various commands, then you must press the button matching the command he gave. At first the buttons you need to press will be displayed on screen, but after a few commands this will disappear. You must get 30 commands in a row without making a mistake to earn this trophy.
2 the Max

Hit 30 Bop It! commands in a row without missing in Extreme Bop It!
The same as Whack-a-matic, but in Bop It Extreme there are more commands. Again, 2 players are recommended.

Flawless Victory

Won a round in 4 shots in Connect 4 Basketball
(1)
Do not move your aim, just shoot the ball as soon as you can (down then up on the right analog stick ). You should land the ball in column 4 and if the opponent hasn't done the same thing, repeat until you have 4 balls in a row.
Speed Shot

Shot 10 balls in under 35 seconds in Connect 4 Basketball
Using 2 controllers, start a game of Connect 4 Basketball Speed Shot. The second controller can do nothing. Using controller 1, shoot basketballs (looks like volleyballs to me lol) as quick as you can but make sure not to get 4 in a row. As soon as you shoot the 10th ball, and it's under 35 seconds, the trophy will pop.
Connect 4 Basketball Master

Can be earned while playing through the 50 episodes of the Game Show. Just complete 25 gamest. You do not need to win.
Quick Thinking

Created 7 words in one game of Scrabble Five-Letter Flash
(1)
Scrabble Five-Letter Flash gives you a set of 5 letters and you must make one five-letter word from them. If successful, you get another set of letters to find another word. Create 7 words in one game to get this trophy. If you need help, try Scrabble Helper, Literati Word Builder - Scrabble help.
Human Dictionary

Created 50 unique words in Scrabble Flash (lifetime)

This will come naturally over the course of the 50 Game Shows. If you need help finding words, try Scrabble Helper, Literati Word Builder - Scrabble help.
High Score

Scored 28 points or higher in one game of Scrabble Flash
(1)
Try to go for the 5 letter words first, then the 4 letters. If you are having trouble, play with a second controller and make player 2 find only 3 letter words while you find 5 & 4 letters. Remember to try Scrabble Helper, Literati Word Builder - Scrabble help if you need help.
Scrabble Flash Veteran

Earned 1,500 total points (lifetime) in Scrabble Flash
(3)
You will earn the majority of these points during the 50 Game Shows, but you will be short some even if you get 28 points every time. Continue to play Scrabble Flash by itself using Scrabble Helper, Literati Word Builder - Scrabble help if you need help.
Scrabble Flash Master

Finished 25 games of Scrabble Flash
Can be earned while playing through the 50 episodes of the Game Show. Just complete 25 games of Scrabble Flash. You do not need to win.
Denied!

Knocked an opponent out of the five-point zone in Sorry Sliders or were knocked out
This should come without trying, however once your opponent has landed in the five point zone aim your slider directly at theirs. Shoot it to knock it out of the five point zone.
Sorry... Not!

Finished a game of Sorry Sliders where the opponent didn't earn a point
In my opinion, the most difficult of all the trophies. I do not know if using the Move would make it easier or not.

If you haven't earned this after your 50 Game Show games, start up a game of Sorry Sliders with 2 controllers. Make player 1 play as normal. For player 2, move your slider all the way to the right, hit and then aim it all the way to the right. Here comes the hard part. Slowly pull back on the right analog stick then slowly push it up. If done correctly, your slider will move very little, possibly hit the wall, and stay in the green Sorry zone thus earning you zero points. Make sure player 1 does not knock it in to a point zone during their next turn. During player 2's second turn do the same thing except aim it to the left.

Additional tip from Rob Madgwick:

The way i got the Sorry... Not! was to use 2 controllers

STEP1: push the 1st players slider all the way to the left and tweak the angle of the arrow so its just under the middle the letter S of the word SORRY on the runway, give it full power and your slider will bounce off the target area wall 3 or 4 times coming to a stop half way round the right hand side.

STEP2: Have player 2 finish anywhere apart from the trajectory that p1 took.

STEP3: Repeat step 1 with a fraction less power

STEP4: Repeat step 2 and await that shiney silver trophy

I confirm that p2 can get the trophy it does not have to be p1
Sorry Sliders Sumo!

Played a game of Sumo Sliders in which two Sumo Sliders were knocked into the Sorry zone
Start up a game of Sumo Sliders and purposely aim for the big blue Sumo slider pieces. Knock two of them into the green Sorry zone, and make sure they stay there to earn this trophy. If the computer opponent is causing problems, start the game with 2 controllers instead.
Sorry!

Won a game of Sorry Sliders against the Computer Player

Dead Eye

Knocked over every pin with one throw in Yahtzee Bowling Crazy Lane
Aim towards the pin on the left side of the lane. When shooting try to use full power. With any luck the pin on the left will end up knocking over the pin on the right side of the lane while the bowling ball will knock over the remaining 5 at the end of the lane. This one took a few tries to get but don't give up!
Yahtzee!

Got Yahtzee
(1)
Easiest to obtain during a game of Yahtzee Bowling Crazy Lane. Yahtzee if when you get 5 dice all the same number. You do not have to do this in just 1 roll, you have 3 rolls to attempt this.
Knock 'em Down

Knocked over 600 pins in Yahtzee (lifetime total)
Can be earned while playing through the 50 Game Shows. When playing Yahtzee Bowling do not keep any pins and roll again. You can do this 3 times thus earning you 15 pins each game towards the 600.
