Mixtape achievements guide: all trophies, chapters and 100% cleanup.

This is the complete achievement and trophy hub for Mixtape. It is written for players who want a clear path to 100% without turning a short, emotional story game into a stressful checklist. You will find the full achievement list, the chapter where each objective happens, which trophies are story-related, which ones are better handled with Chapter Select, and which pages to open when you need a detailed route.

Fast answer

Mixtape has 26 achievements on Steam and Xbox, while PlayStation has 27 trophies because it includes a Platinum trophy. Most objectives are attached to a specific chapter, and Chapter Select makes the cleanup process forgiving. The main exception players should treat carefully is Front To Back, because it requires finding bedroom interactions and unique conversations across multiple room scenes. If you care about 100%, use a light checklist during room chapters, then replay individual minigame chapters after the credits.

Recommended 100% roadmap

Mixtape is short enough that you do not need a complicated route. The best experience is usually to enjoy the story, pay attention during room chapters, and then clean up the short challenge trophies afterward.

Play the story naturally, but slow down in bedrooms

The story completion trophies unlock as you finish each character’s memory arc and then the final chapter. Most minigames are easy to replay later, but bedroom interaction cleanup is more delicate because it spans objects, conversations and room-specific details. When the game places you in a bedroom, walk the entire room, interact with anything that has a prompt, and exhaust dialogue before moving on.

Handle obvious one-chapter trophies as they appear

Some trophies are simple enough to grab during a first run without spoiling anything meaningful. Examples include French Connection in The Kiss, Grunge Metal Alchemist in Ultimate Slushie, Cone Island, Baby in Skate to Cassandra’s, Skim Gordon in Skipping Stones, and Triple Ply during the toilet paper chapter. If you miss one, do not restart the entire game; note the chapter and come back later.

Use Chapter Select for timed challenges

Timed or accuracy-based objectives are much less frustrating when treated as cleanup. Instructions Not Required, Paint it, Black, If You Want, Sofa King Fast, Leaves That Are Green, From The Hip, Well, Take A Look At You, and Banned In Massachusetts all benefit from knowing the route before you try for the unlock.

Finish with the late-game collection chapters

The video store and party chapters contain objectives that are easy to miss if you are simply following the story. Chapter 26 has both Doppelbanger and Tapehead Graveyard, while Chapter 29 has Fight For Your Right. These are good final cleanup targets because they are later in the game and have clear repeatable routes.

What to know before trophy hunting

The achievement list is friendly overall, but a few design details can trip up players who rush through the game.

Chapter Select

Most cleanup is painless

Many Mixtape achievements are tied to one short chapter or one minigame. After finishing the relevant chapter, you can replay it and focus only on that objective. This keeps the game from becoming a long second-playthrough grind.

Bedroom interactions

Front To Back needs patience

Front To Back is the trophy to respect. It asks you to find everything in the bedrooms and hear unique conversations. Do not sprint through rooms. Let dialogue finish, check corners, look at wall objects, and revisit characters after key interactions.

Streamer warning

Guide capture needs music care

If you are recording achievement clips for YouTube or Twitch, remember that Mixtape uses licensed music and does not have a dedicated streamer mode. Consider setting Music Volume to 0 for guide footage if VOD safety matters.

Hardest trophies to clean up

None of Mixtape’s achievements are extreme, but several are easy to miss because the game moves quickly or because the objective is not explained before the scene begins.

Interaction checklist

Front To Back

This is the trophy most likely to punish a rushed playthrough. Bedrooms are full of small objects, repeated conversations, and interactions that can be easy to skip if you leave as soon as the story prompt appears. Treat every room scene like a museum: look, talk, wait for dialogue to finish, and then look again.

Route memory

Cone Island, Baby

The Chapter 11 cone route is short, but there are exactly 10 cones. If you miss one, there is no extra cone later to save the run. The overhead camera pair and the final cone are the key danger points, so use the dedicated guide before replaying.

Late-game cleanup

Starlight Video and Party at the Ritz

Doppelbanger, Tapehead Graveyard, and Fight For Your Right are all late-game objectives that reward methodical movement. Do not rely on story progression to naturally collect every object; make a full pass through the space and confirm the unlock before leaving.

Steam, Xbox and PlayStation differences

The requirements are essentially the same, but each platform displays completion differently.

Steam

26 achievements

The Steam version lists 26 achievements. Use Steam Cloud if you switch between desktop and Steam Deck, and consider capturing screenshots of tricky scenes for your own reference before replaying a chapter.

Xbox

26 achievements

Xbox achievement requirements match the main list. If you play through Game Pass, remember that subscription access is not the same as permanent ownership, so finish cleanup while the game is still in your library.

PlayStation

27 trophies

PlayStation includes the same core trophy requirements plus a Platinum trophy for earning the rest. That makes PS5 the preferred version for players who enjoy a final profile completion badge.

Common mistakes

Do not assume every trophy unlocks the moment you perform the action. Some unlock immediately, such as Grunge Metal Alchemist after the correct slushy is completed, while others can wait until the end of a section. Do not quit out too early if you are waiting on a chapter-end trigger. Also avoid stacking too many objectives on a first blind run. Mixtape works best when you let the story breathe. The smarter route is to play naturally, keep room interactions in mind, and then use Chapter Select to target short tasks such as Skim Gordon, Triple Ply, Don’t. Move., and From The Hip.

  • Do not leave bedroom scenes without checking every object and conversation.
  • Do not restart the entire game for a single minigame failure; use Chapter Select later.
  • Do not confuse the PlayStation Platinum count with the Steam/Xbox achievement count.
  • Do not record trophy clips with licensed music on if VOD safety or monetization matters.

Mixtape achievements FAQ

Short answers for players planning a 100% run.

How many achievements and trophies does Mixtape have?

Mixtape has 26 achievements on Steam and Xbox. PlayStation has 27 trophies when the Platinum trophy is included. The core requirements are the same across platforms, so a route written for achievements will also help trophy hunters.

Is Mixtape hard to 100%?

No. Mixtape is a short narrative adventure, and most achievements are tied to one chapter or one simple minigame objective. The difficulty comes from knowing what to do before the scene ends, not from combat, grinding, or complicated build planning.

Can I clean up missed achievements with Chapter Select?

Yes, most single-chapter trophies can be replayed with Chapter Select. This is especially useful for timed challenges, traffic cones, skipping stones, video store objectives, and party item collection. For bedroom interaction completion, play carefully because the safest route is to be thorough during the main story.

Which trophy should I watch most carefully?

Front To Back deserves the most attention because it spans bedroom objects and unique conversations. Timed minigame trophies can be replayed, but missing room interactions can be more annoying because they are spread across different character spaces and dialogue states.

Should I use a guide on my first playthrough?

If you want the purest story experience, play normally first and only read the spoiler-light notes about room exploration. If you want 100% as quickly as possible, keep this achievement table open and follow the chapter-specific pages when the game reaches a trophy-heavy scene.

How long does the Platinum or 100% completion take?

A focused guide run is commonly about 3 to 4 hours. A blind story run followed by cleanup may take longer, especially if you replay several minigames or need to revisit late chapters for item collection.
