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
- Work a shift behind the checkout as cashier.
- Sometimes the game prompts you to scan a person in the queue — not every customer, not every sale.
- That customer might be clean. They might be trying to walk out with unpaid stock. The scan is the tell.
- 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.
- 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)
- Episode 1: We're Open!
- Ending Theme + The Way of the Cashier (same day)
- Case Closed! (cashier shifts — scan prompt, catch one shoplifter)
- My Retail Academia
- Booster! + Keychain Rush (open 10 each)
- Beginner's Luck
- Tournament Arc
- Shelf Guardian
- 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.
