Your step-by-step guide to unlocking the '2012' achievement in Unpacking. Learn how to complete all levels and find hidden objectives.

Hey there! Ready to dive into Unpacking and maybe snag that '2012' achievement? This guide is here to walk you through it, just like a friend showing you the ropes. We'll cover everything you need to know to get that achievement without any fuss. Let's get started!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    1997: Start by opening the boxes. With the 'Allow items anywhere' accessibility option enabled (found in Settings > Accessibility), you can place items wherever you like – don't worry about finding the 'perfect' spot. Just click a box to open it, click an item to pick it up, move it, and click again to place it.
  2. 2
    Rubik's Cube: You'll find a Rubik's Cube in one of the boxes. While holding it, repeatedly press the [B] button to cycle through its colours. Keep pressing it until all sides are the same colour to unlock the 'Solve a puzzle' achievement. Be careful not to press [B] too many times, or you'll scramble it again!
  3. 3
    Polaroid Camera: Another item to look out for is the Polaroid camera. Once you place this, you'll unlock the 'Make some memories' achievement.
  4. 4
    Ending the Level: After emptying all the boxes, a star will appear in the bottom-right corner. Click it to finish the 1997 level and earn the 'Beginning' achievement.
  5. 5
    2004: This level has multiple rooms, which you can switch between using [LB] and [RB].
  6. 6
    Bathroom Progress: Head to the bathroom first. You'll need to flush toilets across several levels for the 'Gotta flush 'em all' achievement. This is your first flush (1/7).
  7. 7
    Wooden Mannequin: In the bedroom, you'll find a wooden artist's mannequin. Pick it up and press [B] repeatedly until it 'dabs'. This action unlocks the 'Strike a pose' achievement.
Tips
  • The 'Allow items anywhere' accessibility option is a lifesaver. It lets you place items freely, so don't stress about perfect placement.
  • You can manually rotate items using the [B] button.
  • If you're running out of space, you can pick up an item and move to a different room using [LB] or [RB].
  • Rooms can often scroll up or down, so check for extra space beyond what's immediately visible.
  • Clothes hangers can take up a lot of space. It's best to hang them up in wardrobes to keep things tidy.
