Cupboards & Drawers Achievements Guide: All 8 Explained

Cupboards & Drawers brings eight achievements of its own. Two come from progress, reaching the end and earning every star, while the other six stay hidden until you do something unexpected in a particular level. Every level can be reopened, so nothing here is lost for good, but two of them reward patience and one needs a very specific layout.

Overview

How to earn each one

The Other Side

Level: 29, the final cabinet

Awarded for reaching the end of the expansion.

1. Work through every level up to the cabinet with four locks.
2. Use the key on each lock and complete the scene behind it.

Everything Put Away

Level: 3, 15 and 21

Awarded for every star in the expansion. Only three levels have more than one, so the task is smaller than it sounds.

1. Level 3: arrange the pens four ways, by gold rings, by outline, by cap length and by clip position.
2. Level 15: arrange the folders three ways, by tab position, by protruding paper and by colour.
3. Level 21: arrange the coins three ways, on their shadows, by style and by colour.

Where Is My Cap?

Level: 3, pens and caps

Every pen has to end up with a cap from a different pen, and you are not allowed to solve it by letting two pens simply trade.

1. Pull all caps off.
2. Pass them along in one loop: pen 1 takes the cap of pen 2, pen 2 the cap of pen 3, and so on, with the last pen taking the cap of pen 1.
3. Check that no two pens hold each other’s caps.

A few players found it did not unlock on earlier versions despite a valid layout. A fresh restart of the level with one single loop of caps, rather than several small loops, usually does the trick.

A Balanced Meal

Level: 7, snack tray

The game rewards a tower made of everything on the tray, the tray included.

1. Assemble the tray, but do not fill its hollows yet.
2. Stack the food and the tray parts one on top of another until nothing is left on the table.

The tower is wobbly. Building it in two or three short piles and then joining them is safer.

Can Do Altitude

Level: 12, pantry

A stack made of every single can in the pantry.

1. Gather all cans in an open area.
2. Pile them into one column.

Start with several small piles and merge them; adding cans one by one to a tall column is where it usually collapses.

In No Rush

Level: 13, cat on the shelf

The reward for simply staying with the cat.

1. Open the level.
2. Leave the cat alone and wait a few minutes without closing the level.

Now You’re Playing With Power

Level: 17, games cabinet

Tied to the orange handheld console on the shelf.

1. Turn the handheld on with its black button.
2. Move the shape into the box on the little screen with the arrow buttons.
3. Tap the square button until the shape becomes a square.

Since this is part of the solution anyway, most players earn it on their first visit.

Show Off

Level: 26, trophy cabinet

Awarded for taking every trophy out of the display.

1. Flip the cabinet panels open by clicking them.
2. Lift out each trophy until every case is empty.

Questions players ask

Can an achievement be missed permanently? No. Every level can be replayed from the expansion menu, so a miss costs only a few minutes.

Do the cat breaks matter for the star achievement? They count towards finishing the expansion, but they have just one outcome each, so they play no role in collecting every star.

Which one takes the longest? The can stack in Level 12, purely because the tower falls easily. The rest take a minute or two.

Solutions for every level are in our full walkthrough of the expansion.
