Full achievement list with conditions, fast wins first, long grinds flagged, and efficient completion order.

Last updated: September 16, 2026

Quick Answer

14 quick wins in hour one; longest grinds are Just One More Boost... (1,000 boosters) and S-Rank Shopkeeper (level 80). Stack overlapping opens.

Hi, I'm Vook, a completionist who sorted all 38 achievements by realistic time — not alphabet soup.

Nothing is missable, but the list mixes five-minute pops with 1,000-booster weekends. Stack overlapping goals: every pack opened counts toward multiple counters.

Daily loop: beginners' guide. Pricing affects shop level XP: setting prices. Card leagues: card battles.

Case Closed! — cashier scan & shoplifters

Hi — this one confused me because the achievement text sounds like a scavenger hunt. It is not.

Case Closed! pops when you catch a real shoplifter through the scan-a-customer prompt at the register.

How the scan works

  1. Work a shift behind the checkout as cashier.
  2. Sometimes the game prompts you to scan a person in the queue — not every customer, not every sale.
  3. That customer might be clean. They might be trying to walk out with unpaid stock. The scan is the tell.
  4. When the scan flags a thief, stop them before they leave — same energy as the random thief alerts on the floor, but tied to this register minigame.
  5. Successfully catch that shoplifter through the scan flow → Case Closed! unlocks.

What I do

  • I stay on register during busy hours — more customers = more scan prompts.
  • When scan appears, I do not skip it. Even if I think the line is fine.
  • I do not swing the bat at normal shoppers — reputation damage is not worth the guess. Wait for the game to confirm shoplift behaviour after the scan.
  • This is independent of Attack on Thieves (five random floor thieves). Same bat, different trigger.

Note: If you hire staff early and rarely cashier yourself, scan prompts dry up. I grabbed Case Closed! on day one or two while I still ran every transaction.

My completion order (fresh save)

  1. Episode 1: We're Open!
  2. Ending Theme + The Way of the Cashier (same day)
  3. Case Closed! (cashier shifts — scan prompt, catch one shoplifter)
  4. My Retail Academia
  5. Booster! + Keychain Rush (open 10 each)
  6. Beginner's Luck
  7. Tournament Arc
  8. Shelf Guardian
  9. Courier-kun, Welcome!

Then long haul: shop level, collection milestones, and 1,000-open grinds in parallel — same booster session feeds multiple counters.

Rough split: ~14 quick wins, ~12 mid-game, ~12 long grinds. Past ~40 hours the 1,000-booster and level 80 gates feel like padding — pace yourself and stack overlaps.
