Steam lists 34 Scritchy Scratchy achievements, but the real 100% challenge is route control. Use this page to decide what belongs in your main save, what should move into a separate cleanup run, and which late-game systems need a final checklist before you replay anything.
100% cleanup route for all 34 achievements
| Stage | What to target | Best timing | Route tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural progression | System unlocks, ordinary milestones, and achievements earned while playing efficiently. | Main run | Do these first so you do not waste a dedicated cleanup run on goals the game would have handed you anyway. |
| Risk and failure states | Loan, death, bad outcome, and destructive-condition achievements. | Separate short run | Keep these out of your strongest save because several likely conditions reward choices you would normally avoid. |
| Gadgets and systems | Scratch Bot, fan, Sticky Mat, Spellbook, Mundo, Autobuyer, Egg Timer, and machine interactions. | Mid-game checklist | Mark every gadget you have actually used, not just unlocked. A lot of cleanup friction comes from assuming a system counted. |
| Challenge-specific goals | Exact-condition achievements such as job wins, jackpot trashing, or Final Chance edge cases. | Controlled cleanup | Build a run around one condition at a time instead of trying to combine every unusual trigger. |
| Prestige and late grind | Jack Points, expensive late unlocks, and long-run completion bottlenecks. | Final sweep | Leave this until the list is smaller so the grind is not hiding simpler missed achievements. |
Achievement categories to check
Early risk and failure achievements
Several confirmed achievements revolve around taking risks or outright crashing a run, including taking a loan, dying repeatedly, and deliberately leaning into bad outcomes.
Tracking tip: Use one cleanup run to deliberately trigger loss states instead of accidentally slowing your main progress run.
Automation and system achievements
The achievement set pushes you into the full gadget and system stack, including magic, cosmetics, the Egg Timer, and automation-heavy setups.
Tracking tip: If your run stalls out, revisit your gadget setup and automation order before brute-forcing the grind.
Run-specific challenge achievements
Community reports point to achievements tied to exact conditions such as winning on Day Job, trashing a jackpot ticket, or reaching Final Chance under special rules.
Tracking tip: Track challenge-only goals separately so you do not mix them into a normal economy run and lose time.
Completion cleanup
Steam lists 34 achievements total, and players already describe the final stretch as mostly cleanup, jackpot fishing, and making sure every late-game system has been touched at least once.
Tracking tip: A dedicated cleanup run is usually faster than trying to combine every remaining condition into one unstable save.
Loan, debt, and failure-state tracking
Some of the public achievement names and player discussion suggest that failure is not only a punishment in Scritchy Scratchy. Certain achievements appear tied to bad outcomes, risky decision-making, and choices you would normally avoid in an efficient economy run.
Tracking tip: Mark every failure-state achievement separately so you can trigger those conditions on purpose instead of accidentally sabotaging a promising save.
Late-system verification
The last section of the achievement hunt is often less about skill and more about remembering which systems have actually been used. Gadget-specific interactions, prestige-tree progress, and odd one-off conditions can all become bottlenecks once the obvious achievements are gone.
Tracking tip: Before starting a cleanup run, list the systems you have definitely touched and the ones you only think you touched. That removes a lot of blind replaying.
Confirmed achievement names for cross-checking
These public names are useful anchors when you compare your in-game list with a guide. Do not treat this as the full 34-name checklist yet; use it to identify which category your missing unlock most likely belongs to before starting another run.
Where players usually waste time
The biggest time sink is replaying long sections of the game without knowing whether the missed achievement is tied to challenge conditions, gadget setup, or prestige timing. Before replaying, reduce uncertainty first. Decide what the achievement probably belongs to, then build the run around that assumption.
When to use a separate save
If the remaining achievement sounds risky, destructive, unusually exact, or unrelated to efficient progression, isolate it. A short cleanup attempt is cheaper than turning your best save into a mixed-purpose run that is bad at both progression and achievement hunting.
