Tidy Up History: All 25 Achievements
Full Tidy Up History achievement list with unlock conditions, Steam rarity notes, and efficient 100% order.

Quick Answer
25 achievements — tutorial pops first, Keymaster and Knowledgeable mid-game, 16 wing Complete achievements, Master Cleaner and Fully restore the Museum at the end.
Hi, I'm Vook, a completionist who mapped all 25 achievements against the museum wings — most of the list is just "finish every room twice, once for keys and once for labels."
Nothing is missable in the sense of a single-run lockout, but 100% means every wing restored, every key, every knowledge book, and a full dinosaur mount. Hub route: walkthrough. Collectibles: keys, books, labels.
Percentages below are Steam global unlock rates — rough difficulty, not gospel.
At a glance
| Category | Count | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Tutorial / first actions | 3 | Place an Artefact, Handyman, Place a Fossil |

Automatic — first hour
| Achievement | Condition | Steam % |
|---|---|---|
| Place an Artefact | Place any artifact on a highlight | ~100% |
| Place a Fossil | Place any fossil / bone | ~100% |
| Handyman | Make your first repair | ~97% |
Mid-game milestones
XP track — labeling unlocks at level 10, electricity at 9. Most achievements below need wings fully restored first.
| Achievement | Condition | Steam % | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| When Dinos Ruled the Earth | Assemble a full dinosaur skeleton | ~69% | Hub Phase IV |
| Keymaster | Find all 16 keys | ~52% | Key locations |
| Archivist | Place a label on an artifact | ~50% | Label locations + level 10 |
| Knowledgeable | Find all knowledge books | ~46% | Knowledge books |
Complete wing — place all artifacts and restore
Each pops when every artifact in that wing is placed and the room hits restored status (repairs + cleaning done).
| Achievement | Wing | Steam % |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Theropods | Theropods | ~33% |
| Complete Cerapoda | Cerapoda | ~34% |
| Complete Non-Dinosaurian | Non-Dinosaurian / Other Fossils | ~33% |
| Complete Ornithopods & Thyreophorans | Ornithopods & Thyreophorans | ~32% |
| Complete Ancient Egypt | Ancient Egypt | ~32% |
| Complete Ancient Greece/Rome | Ancient Greece / Rome | ~32% |
| Complete Medieval Europe | Medieval Europe | ~32% |
| Complete Ancient China | Ancient China | ~31% |
| Complete Mesoamerica/Andean | Mesoamerica / Andean | ~31% |
| Complete Subsaharan Kingdoms | Sub-Saharan Kingdoms | ~31% |
| Complete Islamic World | Islamic World | ~31% |
| Complete Mesopotamia | Mesopotamia | ~31% |
| Complete Indigenous North America | Indigenous North America | ~31% |
| Complete Stone Age | Stone Age | ~31% |
| Complete Ancient India | Ancient India | ~31% |
| Complete Ancient Japan/Korea | Ancient Japan / Korea | ~31% |
I clear these naturally while running keys + books — if a wing stalls, missing one highlight or a web-blocked artifact is the usual culprit.
Capstone
| Achievement | Condition | Steam % |
|---|---|---|
| Master Cleaner | Museum-wide cleanup milestone — unlocks when every wing hits restored / complete status | ~31% |
| Fully restore the Museum | 100% museum restoration — all wings and exhibits finished | ~29% |
Fully restore the Museum is the last pop for most saves. If you are one wing short, check incomplete Complete achievements above before hunting hidden keys.
My completion order
- Place an Artefact / Handyman / Place a Fossil — tutorial loop.
- Keymaster — 16 keys open every wing.
- Knowledgeable — 13 books on the same routes.
- Sixteen Complete [Wing] — sort, repair, clean each room.
- When Dinos Ruled the Earth — Spinosaurus / full mount in Dinosaur Exhibit.
- Label pickups → Archivist — labels, level 10 ability.
- Master Cleaner + Fully restore the Museum — final cobweb / wallpaper pass, verify 100% tracker.
Stack steps 2–4 in one lap per wing when you can — backtracking across a museum this size is not cozy, it is punishment.
