How to get the Platinum

The most efficient route is five stages: clear the curriculum and all three Secret Chambers, unlock all four campus wings and every zipline, get an A+ in every room, sweep every Extra Credit quest and campus collectible, then clean up the miscellaneous stunts. Every trophy in the list can be earned in co-op, and none of them require a second playthrough except the A+ ranks, which do need a replay from the curriculum menu.

The advice from trophy hunters is the same as it always is: do not chase the A+ on your blind first run. Solve the room naturally, note down the final lock codes, then immediately replay it with the answers fresh and the timer in your favour. In two-player co-op the split is obvious — one player reads the cipher and the clue board while the other enters combinations.

The three that catch people

Star Student — an A+ in every room. Your grade is decided by time remaining and hints used, so a B on the first blind run is normal and fixable.
Snap, Crackle, Pop! — requires all three hazards separately: a long fall, lava, and electrocution. The fall also sends you to the infirmary, which triggers Tis But a Scratch at the same time. Two birds.
Extrovert Extraordinaire — 300 conversations. Every short interaction with a student, a member of faculty or a terminal counts, and chatting is also how you find the Extra Credit quests and the 11 Quantys.

Two more worth planning around: Do You Mind? requires you to physically jump onto Alistair Bell’s head during Mind Your Elders, before you complete the objective, or you will have to replay the room. And The Big RevEEL is a pun on the original game’s Eel — head to the water enclosure and reconnect with the Academy’s famous aquatic eel.

The 2022 original’s 40 achievements
