Overview
You bought the game for $20 or below on sale, you start with SOME money, but you have high ambitions to have ONE MILLION UNITS! Because of there being no microtransactions, the only way to earn money is to work for it. Luckily, this guide will explain the payouts for each gamemode, activity, and achievement, which ones are easy to get, and which ones are harder, and which places to stay away if you’re purely in it for the money.
ACHIEVEMENTS: PLAZA
One of the first places you’ll most likely go to is the plaza, where you may meet dozens of players, experienced and new, playing minigames, exploring the shops, and overall goofing off. You, however, are on a mission of earning as much money as you can. There are a lot of easy achievements you can get almost immediately!
NOTE THAT IN THE PLAZA, YOU MIGHT AS WELL BUY A JETPACK FROM ROB’S IMPORT (2,000-10,000 depending on type and color) AND THE METAL DETECTOR FROM THE STRAY (in the lighthouse sold by the cat for about 5,000 units).
SKELETON RP
For 1.5K, all you need to do is press escape, move your cursor to appearance, click body, and before you click workshop (because you aren’t a neanderthal who uses the provided models) click Skeleton. Thats it.
BEHIND THE SCENES
for 1.5K, you will need the jetpack. Behind the project 12 elevator (to the right immediately after climbing up the stairs to the indoor fountain), you will see a vent high up on the wall. You can fly up to it and press E, it will take you to a secret little room that’s presumably the office of Pixeltail.
I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE
for 1.5K, go back to the elevators of the project 12, and use them to get to the top of the tower (you can also fly up there with a jetpack). There are built in binoculars on the sides. Use one. Boom, done.
HUMAN BLUR
For 1.5K, after using the binoculars, all you need to do is jump off the building into (or close to) the central fountain.
RIDE THE COASTER
For 1.5K, all you need to do is ride the roller coaster “Poseidon” through, from beginning to end. REMEMBER NOT TO GET OFF PREMATURELY, WAIT UNTIL YOU GET THE ACHIEVEMENT BEFORE GETTING OUT.
(for another 1.5K, you can ride the Poseidon another 9 times for the achievement “coaster addict”, but it takes a lot of waiting)
ITS A PARTY!
for 1.5K, all you need to do is have at least 4 other friends on the plaza server for 15 minutes. You can do all these achievements with your friends for the most efficient way for all of you to become millionaires.
STUFFED DISCOVERY
For 5K, you have to find 10 stuffed animals around the plaza. You will need the Jet Pack for this. There are several guides as to the stuffed animal locations.
BEST PICKUP LINE
for 1.5K, all you need to do is get drunk and talk to a store attendant. You can get drunk at either the nightclub, or project 12, and all you need to do is talk to someone.
There are, of course, more achievements related specifically to plaza, but they’re either extremely long and tedious, or quite difficult to achieve.
OVERALL EARNINGS
Payment
Jetpack (2K)
Metal Detector(5K)
OVERALL: 7K
Earnings
Skeleton RP (1.5K)
Behind the scenes(1.5K)

Doing all of these will net you an extra 10K, and are both investments for future achievements and ways to earn money. Not to mention, all of these can be done in the span of 15-20 minutes, allowing you to get use to the feel of the Tower Unite Plaza. Overall, a very effective way to earn some extra cash for your pockets if you inevitably want to become the next millionaire.
PLAZA GAMES AND MINOR ACTIVITIES
Now that you did a few of the minor achievements, its finally time to play a few of the plaza games and activities! Luckily, there are a lot of small games to play with few achievements, easy to grasp, and doesn’t have too much to them.
LASER TAG
Laser tag is a very simple game, you shoot the opposing team with lasers, when dead, you can find small stations to revive yourself, and the rounds generally last three times
PAYOUTS
Thanks for playing! (200 units)
Score (whatever you scored based on kills and hits x2)
Winning team (unknown, presumably 500 units)
The payouts for this game mode are relatively small, at most probably only paying 1K per go IF you win, at 3K for a game. For grinding, I wouldn’t recommend Laser Tag.
ACHIEVEMENTS
TERMINATOR (eliminate 50 players total, 5K)
GRIM REAPER (shoot 100 people in total, 1.5K)
APPRENTICE (get 20 1st places in total, 1.5K)
LASER TAG MASTER (get 50 1st places in total, 10K)
SNIPER (shoot someone over 10 meters away from you, 1.5K)
UNSTOPPABLE (do not get eliminated for an entire game, 25K)
RAMBO (eliminate everyone else as the last member of your team, 1.5K)
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM ACHIEVEMENTS: 46,000 UNITS
Getting unstoppable, sniper, and rambo are very achievable, netting you an easy 28K, but for the others, you will need a lot of people, and to play dozens of times. Sadly, nobody really plays this anymore (thanks to the user Frankie for helping me get payouts and earning them a few achievements), so unless you have a friend or two, you should probably skip this one
BOWLING
Bowling is as simple as it sounds: hit 10 pins in a triangle form by rolling a heavy plastic ball towards them. Bowling is located almost directly next to Laser Tag
PAYOUTS
Open Frame (200 units)
Strike (800 units)
spare (600 units)
thanks for playing (200 units)
bowling score(your bowling score X10)
This is a pretty good way of earning units in the plaza pretty quickly. If you got a strike every round, you would get 8,000 units, with the extra 3,000 from the bowling score and 200 just from playing. That’s a total of 11,200 units per game. That’s almost quadruple of Laser Tag. Overall, its a good way of money just for 5 minutes, though a bit repetitive. You’d earn over 100K per 10 games, or, our goal, 1 MILLION after only about 90 games.
ACHIEVEMENTS
NO PIN LEFT BEHIND (get a spare, 1.5K)
KEEPING THE GUTTERS CLEAN (don’t get a gutter ball in a game, 1.5K)
WEAPON OF CHOICE (buy a bowling ball and use it, 1.5K)
AMATEUR HOUR (get at least 100+ score in a game, 1.5K)
KINGPIN (win a game with at least 3 other players, 1.5K)
NO TIME TO SPARE (get 100 strikes in total, 5K)
DAMAGE CONTROL (get 20 spares in total, 5K)
BOWLING PRO (win 15 bowling matches in total, 5K)
TURKEY DINNER (get 3 strikes in a row, 5K)
TOURNAMENT BOWLER (get at least 200+ score in a game, 5K)
THE CLEANER (get a spare/strike in every frame, 25K)
FLAWLESS VICTORY (get a perfect score of 300, 25K)
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM ACHIEVEMENTS: 82,500 UNITS
Close to double that of laser tag, and one of the best options for achievement hunting for minigames in the plaza, you can easily get most of the 1.5K achievements in one game, and a few of the 5K ones in a single game too. There are a few people who play this, and bowling is the only minigame in the plaza with customization to your own stuff. Overall, a really good way to earn money, though its just bowling.
DERBY RACING
Derby racing is a typing minigame where your WPM is tested, typing out paragraphs of various passages from wherever its taken from, whether its a book or something. Usually they’re around 60-120 words in total.
PAYOUTS
Complete the match (200 units)
Complete the passage (250 units)
10-25 word combo (250 units)
50+ word combo (750 units)
Overall, not a very profitable game if you wanna get rich fast, at the very most, you can get 1,200 per game, making it probably the least profitable game on the list, and in my opinion, one of the most boring minor minigames or events in the plaza.
ACHIEVEMENTS
DERBY WINNER (win a match against 3 others, 1.5K)
SPELL CHECKER (get a 20 word combo, 1.5K)
MASTER TYPIST (type 1000 words correctly, 5K)
GONE IN 60 SECONDS (beat a match in under 60 seconds, 5K)
WORDSMITH (get 70 WPM or more, 10K)
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM ACHIEVEMENTS: 23,000 UNITS
an extremely measly amount earned from achievements, its much easier to get 25K from bowling or laser tag, and is the 2nd least paying achievement completion in the plaza in terms of minor minigames. Stay away if you wanna play a minigame with a lot of earning
EVENT MINIGAMES
There are many event minigames that happen every 5 minutes or so that you may join by press Y and clicking the join button on the bottom right, or by going behind the tower.
(a depiction of one of the minigames, balloon shoot)
CHAINSAW MASSACRE
250 points for each player killed, all converted into units
BALLOON SHOOT
10 points per balloon, adding an extra 10 points per combo, to a maximum of 50 per balloon, golden balloons being worth 90 points, all converted into units
TARGET PRACTICE
20 points per target, including combos, and rainbow targets worth 150 points, all converted into units
FOOD FRENZY
10 points per fruit, combos as it goes up, possibly no limit, all converted into units
PLANE WARS
250 points per hit, all converted into units
BOOZE BASH
basically a reskin of food frenzy, with the same points, only difference is you get the drunk effect from collection the bottles
my overall average for these games are about 3,000 units for 2 minutes,which isnt horrible. If you played a minigame and got 3,000 units per game, You’d be earning about 18,000 units per hour. Overall, not the worst way to earn money quickly. especially if you’re doing something between the minigames
ACHIEVEMENTS
ULTIMATE DEVOURER (eat 100 fruits in fruit frenzy, 10k)
QUICK DRAW (shoot 100 targets in target practice, 10k)
FLOAT DENIER (shoot 100 balloons in balloon shoot, 10k)
RED BARON (shoot down 100 planes in plane wars, 10k)
HEAVY DRINKER (drink 100 bottles in booze bash, 10k)
GROOVY (kill 100 people in chainsaw massacre, 10k)
OVERALL ACHIEVEMENTS FROM ACHIEVEMENTS: 60,000 UNITS
fairly easy to get these achievements, I definitely recommend trying to get these achievements out of the way for an easy 10K, making it the 2nd most paying minigame in the plaza in terms of minor minigames. Make sure to at least get these achievements out of the way for a good 6% of the way there from achievements alone.
PLAZA GAMES AND ACTIVITIES: PART 2
THEATER
The theater is generally an easy going place where friends and strangers can watch videos from youtube together. Located to the left side of the tower nearby to the ocean.
NOTE THAT THERE IS NO ACTIVE EARNINGS FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE THEATER, ONLY EXP AND ACHIEVEMENTS
ACHIEVEMENTS
OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION (watch videos in theaters for a total of 2 hours overall, 1.5k)
GET TOGETHER (watch 30 minutes of theater with 2 or more friends, 1.5K)
MOVIE NIGHT (watch 10 minutes of theater with 4 or more friends, 1.5K)
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM ACHIEVEMENTS: 4,500 UNITS
If you wanna chill with friends, this is a nice bonus, but if you want to become a millionaire fast, you better skip this and head to bowling… or the last one in this list
TRIVIA
Trivia is as it sounds: a bunch of completely random questions that you have to answer correctly compared to everyone else. Questions can range from basic math to advanced video game tactics
PAYOUTS
Thanks for playing (200 units)
4th place and below (400 units)
3rd place (600 units)
2nd place (800 units)
1st place (1000 units)
Not amazing, at about 1,200 units per game, but usually can go by very quickly, and has a lot of nice achievements that can be fairly easy to gain
ACHIEVEMENTS
TRIVIA MASTER (win a game of trivia, 1.5k)
SMARTY PANTS (get 30 questions right in total, 1.5k)
TRIVIA SHOW OFF (play with 6 people and win, 1.5k)
DROP AND ROLL! (get 5 questions in a row right, 1.5k)
TRIVIA GENIUS (get 50 questions right in total, 5k)
TRIVIA MILLIONAIRE (win 100 trivia games, 10k)
TRIVIA BRANIAC (get every question right, 10k)
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM ACHIEVEMENTS: 31,000 UNITS
not an amazing minigame to play, especially with a small unit payout, but a few achievements can be gained pretty quickly, and you can get trivia braniac early if you’re extremely lucky. Probably don’t use this as a main source for farming to a million, but could be a fun diversion while earning some money
TREASURE AT SEA EVENT
Remember how I told you to buy a metal detector? It comes to use with the treasure at sea event, which allows you to find buried treasures on the beaches, both located near the lighthouse, and the beach to the right of the island. Follow the beeping, and press E on the floor to dig up a treasure when you’re around 50.
There are overall 10 treasures for you per 10-15 minutes each varying in worth. Here are the overall sell price from lowest to highest
Quarter (25 units)
Pile of units (50 units)
Bag of units (1000 units)
Eternally burning crab (1500 units)
Eternally frozen crab (1500 units)
Chest of units (5000 units)
Laser Pointer (5000 units) [can be equipped]
Gem (10000 units)
Always Lucky Slot Machine (10000 units)
Golden Catsack (20000 units) [keep one for achievement]
for every 10-15 minutes, there is a pretty good chance you’ll get at least 5k per run, with, rarely, getting multiple golden catsacks, leading to a LARGE amount of money purely from treasure at sea. Almost everything on the list is a redeemable (you can drag it from your condo inventory to your condo and press E on it to ‘redeem’ it) apart from the crabs, the quarter, the gem, and the laser pointer. Overall, an EXTREMELY effective way to get units quickly. Sadly there are no achievements to it, but at an average of 15k per go, very often getting much higher, you’d be a fool to pass this up.
CONCLUSION TO MINOR PLAZA EVENTS AND GAMES
A lot of these games and events can give out a LOT of money, through direct payment, or through achievements, but none of them are terribly enjoyable. Many of them, you wouldn’t wanna do for more than 30 minutes at a time, so if you want to enjoy the game, and earn a decent amount of units, try some of the bigger minigames, or the game worlds.
THE CASINO: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS AND TRICKS
The casino is located to the left of the game world area in the plaza, and can very easily be noticed by the giant slot machines outside on the roof. Its often a place jam packed with people on slot machines, or a group of friends playing poker.
Most of the machines use “Credits” that you can usually raise to 5 credits per go. The credits are generally based on what you’re playing (video poker, video blackjack, and double or nothing are 5 units per credit, leading to usually betting 25 units at a time, while Wheel of Money, Triple Diamonds, and Grand Quest are 15 units per credit, leading to usually betting 75 units at a time). The only two games inside the casino that uses straight units are Texas Hold ‘Em and Spin To Win. I’ll go down the list of games, their payouts, and the general achievements related to the game
DOUBLE OR NOTHING
A very basic one, Double Or Nothing is essentially a coin flip, heads you get double the amount you put up (or double that), while tails you lose everything. Since you’re spending about 25 units per go if you’re using 5 credits, then you’ll earn 50, then 100, then 200, so on and so forth. Only problem is rarely do you even get 2 double ups, the highest I’ve gotten being 6. Overall, not an amazing haul by any means, and should only use it for the achievements connected to it.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
DOUBLE 5X (get 5 or more doubles in a game of double or nothing, 5k)
VIDEO BLACKJACK
Video Blackjack is, as the name entails, blackjack. Closest to 21 without going over wins, and you play against the dealer. The usual payout for winning a hand of blackjack is 25 credits, or 125 units, while a draw refunds your credits. Overall better and less risky than double or nothing, but would not rely on this alone for gambling high.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
NATURAL BLACKJACK (get a natural 21 in video blackjack, 1.5k)
VIDEO BLACKJACK PRO (get a 21 in video blackjack 10 times, 1.5k)
VIDEO POKER
As the name implies, its Video Poker. You draw 5 cards, choose to hold any of the 5 cards, then redraw. This could be a decent way of earning money, assuming you’re alright at poker, with the jackpots usually around 8,000-15,000 credits (or 40,000-75,000 units). Not an amazing haul, but the best of the three gambling machines.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
FIVE CARD HOLD (hold all 5 cards and still win in video poker, 1.5k)
THREE OF A KIND (get a three of a kind in video poker, 1.5k)
ROYAL WINNINGS (get a royal flush in video poker OR normal poker, 25k)
WHEEL OF MONEY
Wheel of money is a slot machine with the twist of a “spin to win” built in it for the chance to win more credits, or even jackpot! While you cannot get jackpot purely based on getting 3 in a row, getting a spin icon gives you some more credits. This is the first slot machine on the list that takes 15 units per credit, at 75 units per 5 credits. I found it mildly difficult to even get any spins, I went 10 times, and only got spins twice. Overall, could be a really good way of earning money quickly, and the jackpot is shared, so presumably if multiple people play, the jackpot
ACHIEVEMENTS:
WHEEL OF SPINS (spin 10 times on the wheel of money, 1.5k)
WHEEL OF NOTHING (get 20 nothings on the wheel of money, 1.5k)
THREE DIAMONDS
Three diamonds is the most common of the slot machines, with the simple “3 diamonds is a jackpot” Its usually filled to the brim, and the jackpot isn’t shared, each are individual. This is one of the best ways of earning money in the casino, however, there are NO achievements directly linked to three diamonds, so keep that in mind.
GRAND QUEST
Grand quest is similar to wheel of money, except instead of a roll, you get an action. This action allows you to randomly choose an attack or ability for the cat sack on the top, fighting the dragon, with the dragon generally dealing 5 DMG per go. I imagine if the dragon dies, you get the jackpot, but if you die, the jackpot will probably leave. Overall, a bit challenging and grindy, but could earn you a lot of money.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
SLAY THE DRAGON (defeat the dragon in grand quest, 1.5k)
POKER
Poker (texas hold ’em) is a multiplayer poker game, varying in the minimum bet per table (and a secret one I won’t reveal), its basically what you’d expect, you can hit, stand, and call, etc. Not a horrible way to earn money, but there are a LOT of achievements that come with it.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
ROYAL WINNINGS (get a royal flush in video poker OR normal poker, 25k)
STANDING TALL (win 5 poker games with a straight, 25k)
FLUSHED AWAY (win 3 poker games with a flush, 25k)
COUNTING CARDS (win 100 games of poker, 25k)
BIG BUCKS (spend 10,000 units on poker, 5k)
SPIN TO WIN
Stay away from this one if you want money. Each spin costs 500 units on its own, and you’re more likely to get nothing, a lot of small rewards. The best thing is the laser projector, which you can sell for about 30K, but other than that, avoid this if you want to become a millionaire within the next decade.
OVERALL CONCLUSION TO THE CASINO
The casino is a decent way of earning money if you wanna listen to a podcast or stream and just press a button over and over, I recommend muting tower unite and listening to something. It will get VERY boring fast, however, so I wouldn’t rely on the casino entirely.
OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS
SORE FINGER (place 1,000 bets on a slot machine, 1.5k)
MONEY MASTER (win a jackpot on any slot machine, 1.5k)
CASINO ADDICT (spend 10,000 units on any gambling machine, 1.5k)
FISHING: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS AND TRICKS
Fishing is a common activity in the plaza and a good way to earn exclusive items and fish, as well as overall being quite enjoyable. But is it a good source of money? Lets find out!
WHERE DO I START?
To start, you need to go to the Gone Fishin’ bait shop, to the right of Poseidon Coaster. You will need to buy a fishing rod for 5k, and you will have to individually buy each piece of bait (or buy the lure for 30k).
WHERE DO I FISH?
There are 4 places to fish, with almost no difference from what I can gather. The four plots are:
~The boardwalk area (behind the buoys)
~The pond next to the lazy river, and the lighthouse beach
~the dock behind the game worlds zone
~The hill behind poseidon coaster.
Like I said, I don’t think there are any differences in terms of items and fish, but I usually fish at the pond next to the lazy river.
AVERAGE EARNINGS (with lure).
having already reached the goal of becoming a millionaire, I bought myself the 30,000 unit lure, which can NEVER be used up, and catches both normal small and big fish. For this guide, I caught 5 fish, completely random, whatever came first. After catching 5, I gained about 2.3k from fishing over the span of about 5 1/2 minutes, at an average of 460 units per fish. This isnt a horrible way of earning money, but there are many other ways of earning money purely based on what is essentially the gummy worms (about 150 units per one, at 750 total). that means about 2 fish pays for the gummy worm. Note that my average won’t equal yours or anyone else, but if we’re basing it entirely on my earnings, its not a great way to earn money. Of course, you could get EXTREMELY lucky and get all fish worth 1000 or more units, which in that case would be a great way of earning money. Overall, if you use normal bait, maybe just use the clumps only worth 25 units, there isnt a fish worth under 75 units.
TOP 5 MOST VALUABLE CATCHES
FISHES (small fish, large fish, rare fish)
1.Large Cuttlefish (2.5k units)

A RARE FIND (catch a rare or better fish, 10k)
OVERALL EARNINGS ON FISHING
You can buy the curly grub for 400 units and HOPE for some rare item fishes. It can be tedious, and might even net you something less valuable. The best item is 15K, but you could earn that easily from the treasure at sea event. Overall, maybe for decoration, go fishing, and sell the extras, but not a reliable way to earn money
CONDOS: ACHIEVEMENTS AND TIPS
Generally, most of your money will go into decorating your own condo. But we want to be millionaires, so instead of having a nice bedroom, a kitchen with food, and a body pillow with a furry and/or anime character on it (not judging, of course), you will want to reach these Achievements.
(Special thanks to Virea for letting me take this picture, they have an awesome condo, and I recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance… might want to for the achievements)
UNIVERSAL CONDO ACHIEVEMENTS
DRUNKEN SAILOR (be drunk in your condo for 10 minutes straight, 1.5k) [recommend buying the metal keg from project 12 for 250 units, and drinking from it every minute or so, a bit annoying though]
CUSTOMIZER (edit the properties of an object in condo, 1.5k) [all you need to do is recolor, change the rotation, or change the scale of an item, you can do this with grass, which only costs 2 units]
PICTURE PERFECT (upload a photo onto a canvas, 1.5k) [you can buy a number of canvas items from D.I.Y, which can cost 100 units at minimum]
HOME AWAY FROM HOME (visit another person’s condo, 1.5k) [if you have friends, you can visit eachother’s condos quite easily]
PIANIST (play the piano with 3 other people nearby, 1.5k) [I recommend going to another person’s condo to do this, pianos cost from 5k-15k, join the most populated condo]
DRUMM (play the drums with 3 other people nearby, 1.5k) [Same as Pianist, only cheaper at only 5k]
BUILDER (place 200 items in total, 1.5k) [you can use grass patches for this, at 400 units in total, netting you a 1.1k profit]
MOVING ON UP (purchase real estate, 1.5k) [WOULD NOT RECOMMEND if you’re purely in it for money, as the cheapest house is 10k]

PARTY ANIMAL (have 4 or more friends in your condo for 60 minutes in total, 10k)
TV ADDICTION (watch 10 hours of a media player total, 10k) [You don't need to be actively sitting in front of it and watching it, all you need to do is have it on, so it could be complete silence for 10 hours]
CURIOUS CAT (open 50 catsacks in total, 10k) [wouldn't recommend getting this, since it costs 1,000 per cat sack, netting a loss of 40k]
HOME SWEET HOME (be at your condo for 2 hours in total, 10k) [should be really easy to do, especially if you're watching the TV]
CONDO EXPORER (visit 50 other condos, 10k) [probably won't be able to finish this in one day, so probably do this over the course of a weekend]
SILVER CAT (open a silver catsack, 25k) [absolutely worth it, you can buy a silver catsack at the stray for 10k, netting an earning of 15k]
GOLD CAT (open a golden catsack, 25k) [best to open your first gold catsack from the treasure hunt event, netting an extra 5k more than just selling it]
OVERALL EARNINGS: 117,000 units
Many of these achievements can very easily be achieved, you can easily make 10% of the way through within the span of a few days. Definitely work on getting at least the silver cat, gold cat, picture perfect, home away from home, and customizer, as you can do all of these within the span of 5 minutes.
ACHIEVEMENTS FOR HOUSE
HOUSEWARMING (knock on your neighbor's door at night in house, 5k) [right behind where you spawn, there is a door you can knock on, wait until night, and knock on it, you'll hear a dog bark and the windows light up]

MYSTERIOUS HATCH (discover the mysterious hatch in underwater, 5k) [directly south east of where you spawn, jump into the water and go down and straight, You'll even see it almost instantly going into the water)
(I put a hula doll where it is to better see it)
ACHIEVEMENTS FOR RESORT
SPACE RACE (discover new territory in resort, 5k) [in the main lobby area with the fountain, head left towards the theater. On the other side of the theater, you will see a door leading to stairs. Go through the stairs until you see a sci-fi room with a coffee mug. Press E on the coffee mug and it will take you to [b]SPACE[/b], it comes with another theater and a bunch of space to jump around]
FREEMAN (find the maintenance vents in Resort, 5k) [follow the same path as Space Race, except instead of going into the sci fi room, continue to the right until you see a vent. Crawl into the vents, where you'll usually be fanned up to the top. Continue through the vents until you reach a tiny room. If you have the jetpack, you can fly to the cat walk and walk through the door to the left.]
ACHIEVEMENTS FOR HIGH RISE
GOING DOWN (ride the elevator in high rise, 5k) [after spawning, turn around immediately and press E on the elevator behind you. It will take you to 'the basement', a massive room.]
ACHIEVEMENTS FOR ART STUDIO
LIGHTS OUT (turn off all the lights in art studio, 5k) [all you need to do is go to all the light switches and flick them off. It will make the condo extremely dark]
ACHIEVEMENTS FOR SMOOTH EDGE
THE EDGE (go to the edge in smooth dirt, 5k) [this will take the longest overall. You need to sprint towards the end of the map, which can take you up to 10 minutes straight. If you're prone to get turned around, place a piece of furniture occasionally, you can see for miles]
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM CONDO SPECIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS: 45,000 UNITS
Most of these achievements can easily be done, only the edge being a mild annoyance of just running for a long period of time. Its a good way to gain points towards "condo explorer", and its a decent amount of units earned from performing basic actions. Overall, get these.
OVERALL FOR CONDOS
surprisingly, for something that doesn't give you condo achievement benefits OR earnings from condo, you can get over 150K purely based on a day or 2 of condo stuff. Definitely take advantage of this situation, as you'll already be about a 5th of becoming a millionaire!
BALL RACE: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS, AND TRICKS
Ball race is a game inspired by Super Monkey Ball, its a momentum based race where your ball has weight and momentum, and you have to race against other players to the finish, whilst collecting melons. Overall the easiest to get use to, but is it easy to become rich from?
WORLDS
there are 11 worlds, each ranging from 9-15 levels. The worlds are divided into 4 difficulties: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Very Hard. Each difficulty is the basis on how much units you earn.
EASY WORLDS
Woodlands is listed first, but is probably the hardest of the easy worlds. It has 11 levels. There is no multiplier.
Summit is very easy to get achievements on, especially the golden melon achievement (more on that later). it has 12 levels. There is no multiplier
GLXY is probably the easiest in my opinion, and fairly easy to get the achievements for. It has 14 levels. There is no multiplier
Paradise is close to the easiest in my opinion based on completion, though the achievements are a little tough. It has 13 levels. There is no multiplier
PAYOUTS FOR EASY
Thanks for playing: 200 units
Didn't die: 200 units
Melon: 40 units per melon
1st place: 750 units
2nd place: 500 units
3rd place: 250 units
4th place and below: 150 units.
OVERALL:
quite easy and calming worlds, and if you didnt die in any of the worlds (not including melons and placing) you could easily get 5.6K per go, with a maximum of 16.1k if you're perfect.. You can complete most of these within, like, 20 seconds, so at most, you'd be playing 5 minutes per go, or 1k per 1000 units. Overall a good choice to get into things.
MEDIUM WORLDS
Event Horizon is the first listed medium world , and the 2nd hardest, with honestly a lot of screen altering, especially towards the end. It has 14 levels. There is a 1.1X multiplier for units earned since its medium (or about 44 units per melon)
Oasis is a pretty easy medium world, assuming you know how to balance alright with narrow paths. It has 11 levels. There is a 1.1X multiplier for units earned since its medium (or about 20 units extra for not dying and playing)
Khromidro is one of my personal favorites, but can be challenging with a lot of speed-related obstacles and inverted cameras. It has 12 levels. There is a 1.1X multiplier for units earned since its medium (or about 44 units per melon)
Nimbus has extremely short courses, making it one of the quickest maps in this list. It has 10 levels. There is a 1.1X multiplier for units earned since its medium (or about 44 units per melon)
PAYOUTS FOR MEDIUM:
Thanks for playing: 220 units
Didnt die: 220 units
melons: 44 units per melon.
1st place: 825 units
2nd place: 550 units
3rd place: 275 units
4th place and below: 165 units
OVERALL:
If you play Nimbus, you'll probably be able to beat it entirely in three to four minutes, gaining 4.4k per go, while playing Event Horizon will take probably 5-6 minutes, but gets you 6.16k, netting you about 500 more units than the longest map in easy. If you were a master at the game, you'd at most get 17.71k, Overall barely worth it for only 1.5k more..
HARD WORLDS
there is only one world, and that is memories. It is a rather challenging, with a lot of stuff you won't expect on your first few runs. There are 13 levels. There is a 1.25X multiplier for units earned since its hard (or about 50 per melon)
PAYOUTS FOR HARD:
Thanks for playing: 250 units
Didn't die: 250 units
melons: 50 units per melon
1st place: 937 units
2nd place: 625 units
3rd place: 375 units
4th place and below: 188 units
OVERALL:
Its not especially challenging, but I still find it pretty easy to get units from. I wish there were more hard maps, but this one is a fairly good way to earn money, at most 18,681 units per playthrough at about 7 minutes or so, earning you more than double that of nimbus.
VERY HARD WORLDS
Prism is the first world listed as very hard, however, I don't really find it too hard at all, memories is a little tougher than prism. There are 15 levels. There is a 1.3X multiplier for units earned since its very hard (or about 52 per melon)
Midori is the hardest world by far, definitely do prism instead if you want to farm points on very hard mode. There are 13 levels. There is a 1.3X multiplier for units earned since its very hard (or about 52 per melon)
PAYOUTS FOR VERY HARD
Thanks for playing: 260 units
Didnt die: 260 units
Melons: 52 units per melon
1st place: 975 units
2nd place: 650
3rd place: 375 units
4th place and below: 195 units
OVERALL:
the very hard maps are barely worth more than memories, but Prism could get you, at most, 22.5K or so for maybe 9-12 minutes, but thats if you're first in every game without dying. Overall, if you've mastered prism, in only about 50 games, you'd become a millionaire!
ACHIEVEMENTS!
Most of these achievements are all the same, apart from the map. I won't list those achievements seperately.
MELON MUNCHER (eat 1000 melons in total, 1.5k) [the bonus stages offer a LOT of melons, if you play alone, you can easily get 60 per one of those]
SPEEDSTER (exceed a max velocity of 25 MPH, 1.5k) [this is very easily achieved through maps like event horizon or prism]
AROUND THE WORLD (play through each map at least once, 1.5k) [all you need to do is play each of the 11 worlds from start to finished]
SHOW OFF (get 1st place in a level with more than 4 players, 1.5k) [very simple, be 1st to the finish amongst 4 or more people]
VISITED _______ (completed a map, 1.5k) [you don't even need to play from start to finish, if you join in mid-game, this achievement can still be achieved]
______ HIDDEN TREASURE (find the 3 golden melons of the map, 5k) [somewhat frustrating in some maps, there is a link of every golden melon located in each map HERE: [link] , be warned that there are TWO exceptions, event horizon is only worth 1.5k, and woodlands is worth 10k ]
________ MASTERED (play a map 10 times, 5k) [the same thing from the visited achievement applies here, except 10x]
UNPOPPABLE (complete an entire match without dying once, 5k) [when you get the king achievement for any of the maps, you will achieve this one for the first time]
MASTER OF BALL RACE (play through 50 levels in total, 5k) [this doesn't mean maps, play prism 4 times through and you'll achieve this]
_______ CONQUERED (play a map 30 times, 10k) [same as mastered and visited]
_______ COLLECTOR (collect 500 melons in a specific map, 10k) [don't focus on getting this, you'll get this naturally, especially if you play alone for the achievements]
KING OF _______ (complete a map without dying once, 25k) [you don't need to play through the entire map, you can join the last level, not die, and achieve this.]
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM BALL RACE ACHIEVEMENTS: 639,000 UNITS
spending a week on this gamemode will most likely lead you to becoming a MILLIONAIRE! The achievements, along with playing nimbus or prism, can easily get you to this achievement quite quickly. From achievements alone, this is the top paying gamemode.
BALL RACE: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS AND TRICKS 2 (averages)
AVERAGES
Of the 4 gamemodes, I timed myself and played through to time myself based on the average each difficulty, on average, for the maps of GLXY, Nimbus, Memories, and Midori. Here are the average and summaries.
EASY (glxy): average of 16.187 seconds per level (not including bonus round, which is 30 seconds) [this is about 240 seconds of GLXY, or about 4 minutes for every 5.6k in a perfect run.
MEDIUM (Nimbus): average of 13.66 seconds per level (no bonus round). [This is about 4.4k per game of 2 minutes, which if you played twice, would gain about 3k more than easy, of course, flawlessly]
HARD (Memories): Average of 18.1225 per level (not including bonus round, which is 30 seconds) [this is about 18.7k for about 4 minutes, earning more than TRIPLE easy mode for around the same time.]
VERY HARD (Midori): average of 32.64 per level (not including bonus round, which is 30 seconds) [this is about 22.5K units for about 6 minutes, which isn't really worth it compared to hard.]
NOTE THAT MY AVERAGE IS DIFFERENT TO YOURS, IT WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THAT AMOUNT EARNED (its the best case scenario of not dying and getting 1st every time) AND WILL OVERALL NOT BE ACCURATE TO YOUR EARNINGS OR AVERAGE
CONCLUSION TO BALL RACE:
Overall, Ball Race is a VERY viable way to farm for money, you might even be able to finish this in one day if you have no life and can stay focused on ball race. This is a VERY good way to earn money, even alone, especially for something you can, on average, complete quite quickly. The only downside to this gamemode is that it requires at least 3 people to get the maximum possible payout, which could get you triple the amount you would than if you were playing singleplayer.
VIRUS: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS, AND TRICKS
If you want to shoot your friends in the face, then Virus is the game for you! Virus is a tag-based game where one random person becomes infected, and has to touch or swipe at the survivors to turn them into infected. Survivors, however, get a lot of weaponry to defend themselves against the infected. The goal is to survive 90 seconds if you're a survivor, and to get all the humans before the timer ends if you're the infected. The only question is how much does "humane slaughter" pay?
MAPS:
SOLAR: A space themed map, with a lot of tight corridors, ramps, and ladders, a decently big map thats very commonly played.
SUBWAY: A train station themed map, with long wide hallways, ridges, and pillars to hide behind, as well as the fare controls, alternating between closed and open.
OVERTIME: An office themed map, quite small with a sort of pretzel styled map area, with three loops all connected, with only a few side rooms.
HOSPITAL: A hospital themed map, with a long loop with a lot of connecting rooms, overall the easiest map to play as survivor in my opinion.
DESERTION: A desert town map, with huge hallways, along with tiny rooms, and a lot of cover. Overall the easiest to be infected in my opinion.
PAYOUTS
Thanks for playing: 200 units
Survived the infection: 250 units
Infected have taken over: 150 units
Biohazard: 100 units per person infected (up to 6)
Patient zero: 50 units per survivor infected when you're the first infected
Bringer of death: 200 units (infect the last survivor)
Survived the infection: 250 units
Last survivor: 800 units
Team player: 750 units (survive with 2 or more other survivors)
Partners to the end: 500 units (survive with 1 or more other survivors)
4th place and below: 300 units
3rd place: 400 units
2nd place: 600 units
1st place: 800 units
A game of Virus lasts 10 rounds, each at 1:30 or shorter. The best case scenario would be 1st place in a team, as partners to the end and team player mix, meaning that you'd be getting 2.5k for every round, or about 25K per game. This is pretty good, but highly unlikely that you'll be getting that every time, a more realistic earnings would be 10-15K, which is still a lot, but for 15 minutes at maximum, I wouldn't use this as a main source of farming unless for the achievements.
ACHIEVEMENTS
(like in the ball race achievements, some achievements are identical, but map based. They will be blank, and there will be 5 of those ones)
DRUGGIE (use adrenaline 30 times, 1.5k) [just press C or switch to the 6th slot and use it each round, you'll achieve this in three games minimum]
OVERDOSE (use adrenaline while being the last survivor in a round, 1.5k) [when you're the last survivor, just use adrenaline, and you'll get this one]
PANDEMIC (infect 30 survivors in virus, 1.5k) [a little tricky to achieve, and it will most likely take more than 3 games to achieve, but if you play in a full game and you infect everyone, it would only take 3 rounds to get these achievement]
EXPLOSIVE PYROTECHNICS (explode 30 infected with TNT, 1.5k) [TNT can explode more than one infected at a time, so if you can trick 3 infected to run into your TNT each round, you'll achieve this in one game]
BRAGGING RIGHTS (get 1st place 50 times, 1.5k) [not worth it if you wanna get rich quick, it'll take more than 10 games to achieve unless you're just amazing at the game]
LOST HOPE (get first infected 20 times, 1.5k) [this is pure chance as to when you're infected, though your chances are higher with a smaller group. This will take at least 10 games most likely]
DYNAMITE COMBO (kill 2 infected with a single TNT, 1.5k)[very achievable especially if you're also working towards explosive pyrotechnics]
LONG SHOT (kill infected from a long distance, 1.5k)[I don't know how long they mean by 'long distance', but I assume before they appear on your radar on the top left. Best to use a crossbow since its very accurate at short and long range]
THE MYSTERIOUS ______ (find all the hidden ___ plushies in ___, 1.5k) [this varies in difficulty, but each map has its own set of plushies that you need to shoot, there is a guide to all the plushy spots located HERE:
[link]
its a bit outdated, but the plushies should still be in the areas where they were previously]
TEAM PLAYER (survive in a group of 4 or more survivors, 5k) [very easy to get, all you need to do is survive with 3 or more people for one round]
SHELL AWARE (kill 2 infected with the double barrel without reload, 5k) [all you need to do is left click with the double barrel to only shoot one bullet at a time. Find two low health infected, and shoot.]
SURVIVED ___ (survive on a map 25 times, 5k) [pretty self explanatory, if you didnt get infected at all, it will take you about 3 games to achieve each one.
DESERTER, OVERWORKED, PATIENT ZERO, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, FAST TRACK (infect 50 survivors on a map, 5k) [they're all the same achievement, but different names. This works into lost hope and pandemic, and are quite hard to achieve overall]
STRONG MOTIVATION (survive 50 rounds of virus, 10k) [this works into the 'survived' achievements, where you can gain this and two survived in the same span, netting you an extra 20k.]
TIME TO SPLIT (play 100 rounds of virus, 10k) [will come naturally if you're working towards the achievements here, will take 10 games in total]
LAST ALIVE (be the last survivor 10 times, 25k) [surprisingly difficult to achieve, but a little bit of luck and reflex will get you to this in no time.]
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM VIRUS ACHIEVEMENTS: 116,000 UNITS
Not even a quarter of earnings from ball race, this is on the lower end of achievements from game world games. You should definitely try to knock out the easy achievments, such as team player, shell aware. and the hidden plushies, but not effective time-wise.
Overall, while Virus may be fun, its not a game thats worth too much money. Stick with minigolf or ball race, or better yet stay in the plaza to farm treasure at sea and minigames.
LITTLE CRUSADERS: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS AND TRICKS
Little crusaders is a game where knights (or the majority of players) have to press the button on a terrorizing dragon (one player), while the dragon's goal is to eat everyone and survive. Overall a really fun game with mostly medieval settings and great with friends to joke around with. But you're not here to make friends, you're here to become a wealthy man or woman, you want to earn the units, you want to become part of the ELITE.
MAPS
Knightsend-by-sea: A pretty nice map overall, with three general areas: the town square with the guillotine, the back areas with the houses and where the dragon spawns, and the docks where the dragons can spawn too. One of my favorite maps in Little Crusaders.
Toy Room: Similar to bedzoom in Accelerate (which we will talk about Accelerate later), this is a pretty fun map too, if there is a few too many twists and turns.
Market: Probably one of the most popular maps for little crusaders, and well deserved, as there's a roundabout area with a sewers underneath, overall a very fun map to play as a crusader on.
Throne Room: the 2nd most common map I see, the throne room is mainly one big room with a 2nd floor area to jump off and look out on. There's also a stairway to the balcony above the thrones.
Amphitheatre: Another common map, Amphitheatre is one of the smallest maps, a basic rectantle with raised platforms and a broken bridge in the middle. Overall a very simple map and what I recommend for newcomers.
Mystic Grove: This is one of the only maps I haven't properly played. From what I heard, its not a very fun map, extremely dark and unfair for the dragons. Might want to skip this, except for achievements.
PAYOUTS
Thanks for playing: 200 units
Knights slayed the dragon: 400 units
Dragon Slayer: 300 units
Last knight bonus: 150 units (be the last knight standing)
Rooting in the afterlife: 200 units (win as a knight while dead)
Birb to the rescue: 50 units (use the birb to kill the dragon)
Esquire bonus: 50 units (you rank up if you kill the dragon)
Knight bonus: 100 units
Baron bonus: 200 units
Count bonus: 250 units
Ultimate dragon: 400 units (kill all knights)
Ending a legacy: 50 units (eat the birb)
Dead knight bonus - X: 150 units per dead knight
Esquire chomp bonus: 30 units
Knight chomp bonus: 60 units
Baron chomp bonus: 85 units
Count chomp bonus: 100 units
Games fluctuates between 10 seconds and a minute 30 in terms of length among 15 rounds. The best case as a crusader would be to be a count (which means getting 3 button presses), slaying the dragon every time, using the birb, while being the last standing, which will net you 1,350 units. Even under those remarkable circumstances, Virus will pay much more just for being on the survivor team. As a dragon, the best you can hope for is 3 counts, and a baron, while kiling the birb and all the knights, netting you 1335 units, JUST under the knights. Overall, in terms of earning money, this is an extremely bad way of earning it, the 2nd worst way overall. earning you only 20k if you're absolutely perfect at the game. Not to mention, these games can last about 20 minutes at the very most, or just 3 minutes at the very least.
ACHIEVEMENTS
CAPE CRUSADER (become a count, 1.5k) [This means you have to press the button of the dragon three times, or be at least 1/5th of the people pressing the button.]
AERIAL TAKEDOWN (take down a dragon while in the air, 1.5k) [jump down from a higher area and press the button using M1 or E as fast as you possibly can.]
TAUNTING DEATH (taunt near a dragon 10 times, 1.5k) [press R as a knight to taunt. and you have to be very close to taunt].
KNIGHT DYNASTY (win with 3 other knights 10 times, 1.5k) [VERY easy to achieve, and can easily be done in one game, as usually knights win]
YOU ARE DEAD (die 20 times as the knight, 1.5k) [also EXTREMELY EASY as you'll most likely die a lot]
CHOMP 'TIL YOU DROP (eat 50 knights in total, 1.5k) [a very hard one to get unless you're with 7 others and deliberately trying to earn these achievements.This will take at least 4 games, as you're only dragon in a full party 2 times at most]
DRUNKEN AFTERLIFE (become a fancy ghost 10 times after dying, 5k) [this is PURE chance from what i've seen. Don't try to get this, it'll come randomly]
PANCAKE MIX (stomp 15 knights as a dragon, 5k) [you need to be directly above a knight to stomp them, which can be tough to do. Best bet is to jump off a ledge and fly off to someone nearby]
HOME RUN (kill the dragon 3 times with birb, 5k) [when the dragon is hit with the birb twice, they die, the first time they'll stun them]
ULTIMATE CAPE CRUSADER (become a count 20 times, 5k) [definitely not worth it, and EXTREMELY hard to do. Even if you did farm count, you'd only be able to become count 3 times at most per game, meaning you need to play 6 times to get this achievement. Skip this one]
COUNT OF ____ (become the count on a map, 10k) [this is hard to do, but you'll want to do this to get a lot of points, as this applies to every map]
_____ DESTRUCTION (eat all the knights on a map, 10k) [a similar deal to the count of achievement, it applies to every map]
ENTER THE KNIGHTS (be part of the winning knight team more than 50 times, 25k) [this is fairly easy to come by, as knights will probably win 2/3rds of each game or more, meaning about 5 games will earn you this]
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM LITTLE CRUSADERS ACHIEVEMENTS: 174,000 UNITS
Overall, its mid-tier in earnings, but sadly almost nobody plays this gamemode. Ball Race is STILL supreme in terms of achievements, but this gets somewhat close to the max payout on virus, and is almost 60k more from achievements compared to Virus. If I had to choose, Virus would be the game I played, but at least get the map related achievements and the minor 1.5k achievements.
ACCELERATE: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS AND TRICKS
Accelerate is a racing game very similar to Mario Kart, where you race, get cool items that hinder the other players and protect you, and your goal is to get first in a certain round. Lets cut to the chase, you want the prize after the races, you want the sweet dough, you want to get as much money as possible. Is racing a good way of earning money? Lets find out.
MAPS
WISHY WASHY WATERFALL: the newest map (and only has 1 track), wishy washy is very drift based with coils of road, roundabouts everywhere, and very wide roads. This does mean, however, that traps are essentially useless. Overall a fun map, but shouldn't be your first map.
SUNRISE ISLES: another newer map with one track, Sunrise is also very drift based, but with a lot of more narrow roads and jumps. This one is one of the most popular maps from what I've seen, and is good for both newcomers and pros alike.
BEDZOOM: the first map on this list with 2 tracks, and based on a child's bedroom, this one is my personal favorite, with tons of little shortcuts and tricks, points where you can get maximum drift, and a lot of good places to put traps. A good beginners course, and pretty fun overall.
PINE VALLEY: The first map of the game, its the beginners course map overall. the 1st track is very easy, while the 2nd track is a bit tougher. Overall a good beginners course.
PAYOUTS
Thanks for playing: 220 units
1st place: 880 units
2nd place: 660 units
3rd place: 440 units
4th place and below: 330 units
gold trophy: 1,100 units
Silver trophy: 880 units
bronze trophy: 660 units
4th place and below: 440 units
best lap: 220 units [get the shortest lap in the game]
The payouts are extremely small, only getting, at most, 3.5k a game for 8 minutes or so. This makes it the lowest paying game in terms of actual payouts. This reason alone makes it almost an absolute avoid for earning units. Lets hope the achievements are much better.
ACHIEVEMENTS
TEST DUMMY (get hit by 15 items, 1.5k) [its very easy, just hit all the bouncers, beer glasses, minigolf holes, and get hit by suns, bowling balls, dragons, and the moon cat]
SPEED (use speed melons 30 times, 1.5k) [you can get 3 melons when you're towards last place often, and can probably be achievable after two or three games, as they're a common pickup]
PROTECTED (use a birb shield to pick up an item, 1.5k) [you can easily get a birb shield if you're in the middle of the placing, and all you need to do is get hit by anything, and you get the item]
TIPSY (drive while drunk, 1.5k) [just hit a beer glass obstacle, and you'll get this achievement, an easy one]
NICE IN (sink 15 drivers in a golf hole, 1.5k) [this is based on the players skill, but its easier to put these near speed boosts or sharp turns]
STRIKE! (hit 20 people with a homing bowling ball, 1.5k) [this one is chance, though it appears often in the 2nd and 3rd place area]
LUNAR ECLIPSE (hit 5 players with the moon power, 1.5k) [you often get this when you're in last place, you just have to drive into people while this is active to knock them out]
SOLAR ECLIPSE (hit 5 people with the sun, 1.5k) [this happens in last place too, its essentially the blue shell in mario, hitting the person in first place, also random]
Maximum drift (drift for 8 seconds without being interrupted, 1.5k) [this is easier on pine valley and wishy washy]
_____ COMPLETED (race through a map, 1.5k) [all you need to do is play through the 2 rounds of each map, only taking 4 games in total]
BUMPIN' (bump 15 players with the bumpers, 5k) [this is the same as nice in, put these near speed boosts or sharp turns, though this is a smaller target]
WHO YOU CALLIN' PINHEAD? (block 15 items with the pin shield, 5k) [this can happen at any point, just activate it and get hit with any item]
______ TROPHY (race through a map and get 1st place among 4 or more players, 5k) [This is hard to get, but will happen naturally and can be done for each map]
DESTRUCTION DERBY (hit 80 people with items, 10k) [the harder version of test dummy, same tactics, just over a longer period of time]
______ MASTERED (play through a map 20 times, 10k) [you probably won't get this unless you're trying to 100% the accelerate maps.]
CHAMPION (get first place 50 times, 25k) [This means you have to play at least 25 games, each at 8 minutes or so, taking you 3 hours or so at the very least]
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM ACCELERATE ACHIEVEMENTS: 124,500 UNITS
only slightly better than virus, but the payout is EXTREMELY tiny compared to any of the games. This is only a few thousand units more than virus.
Overall, this is one of the worst ways of grinding units of any of the game modes. Its alright to do for a few of the achievements, but keep away from this if you want to earn as much units as possible.
ZOMBIE MASSACRE: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS, AND TRICKS
Zombie massacre is an over the top shooter in generally open spaces where you have to shoot as many zombies and survive for two minutes, after which you must head to the helicopter in about 30 seconds or else be left behind. There are 6 classes, dozens of weapons, and overall good fun... but how much money can you earn from killing? Lets find out!
MAPS
(Like ball race, there are easy, medium, hard, and very hard maps, the payouts will be only placed once for ease, but the multipliers will be there)
EASY MAPS
Trainyard: The trainyard is extremely open, with a few trains to create walls. This is one of the easiest maps, with a lot of open spaces so you don't get stuck. There is no multiplier for this. Overall, this is the first map you should play before you go into very hard. this is, however, harder playing alone than with friends.
MEDIUM MAPS
Gasoline: Gasoline is another easy map, though much smaller. There are gas pumps that can explode on occasion, which hurts both you and zombies. There is a 1.1X multiplier for this. Overall, its a very fun map than can easily be played alone/
HARD MAPS
Compound: Compound is my personal favorite map, with a lot of roundabouts and open areas. Its also a challenge as there's a lot of zombies. There is a 1.25X multiplier for this. Overall, its a very fun map to play on.
VERY HARD MAPS
Village: Village is the 2nd hardest map in the game, with a main town square area and a few parks and roads. This is also where you'll see a lot of werewolves, one of the hardest enemies in the gamemode. There is a 1.3x multiplier for this. This is the best map to farm on for money, though its EXTREMELY hard alone.
Darkyard: This is basically trainyard but at night, and apparently there is no such thing as stars or moon, as there's no light other than your weapons, fire zombies, pumpkin zombies, and the glow of vampires. There is a 1.3x multiplier for this. This is one of the hardest maps, even with a lot of people playing with you.
PAYOUTS

Survived: 200 units
Total Points: 1/3rd your total points from the game [so if you earned 9000 points, you would earn 3000 units from that night]
Defeated the boss: 500 units
Boss destroyer: 500 units [deal the most DMG to the boss at night 6]
Boss master: 400 units [deal the 2nd most DMG to the boss at night 6]
Boss handler: 300 units [deal the 3rd most DMG to the boss at night 6]
Boss helper: 200 units [don't place against the boss at night 6]
Overall, its not hard to achieve 2.5k-3k for the first 5 nights, and can get 3k-4.5k on the 6th night. This would mean about 15.5k-19.5k per game of about 12 minutes. Its a long game, but can earn you a decent amount of units. making it generally better than almost any of the other games apart from ball race.
ACHIEVEMENTS
28 DAYS LATER (survive 28 days in total, 1.5k) [this will take about 5 games to achieve, or about an hour]
EVERYTHING (pick up 42 weapons in total, 1.5k) [you can easily get this by just picking up everything you get. I would recommend staying away from the bolt action rifle, the kimber, and the axe, as they're basically useless.]
COMBO NUMBER 5 (get your combo 50 times, 1.5k) [this is easily attainable from being the journalist, as they can get combo after combo. You can easily get that 10 times per night with it.]
RETRO ROCKER (hit 50 zombies with the retro guitar, 1.5k) [The retro guitar is a common drop, and at no ammo boost, this is about 10 kills with the retro guitar. You can probably do this in one game]
ARACHNOPHOBIA (kill the queen, 1.5k) [be the last hit the spider queen, easy to get if you're alone.]
SURVIVED ____ (play through the map, 1.5k) [the only difference in this is survive village, for 5k]
MASTERED ____ (play through a map 10 times, 5k) [once again, mastered village is 10k]
ELECTROMAGNETISM (kill 500 zombies with the tesla zap as electrician, 5k) [this is similar to the doctor's ability, except deals much more DMG and doesn't heal you. Its good to use in lower populated areas]
EXPLOSIVE FREQUENCY (kill 750 zombies with the radio tower as the journalist, 5k) [the highest level for right click items allows this to deal a LOT of dmg often]
RIBS GROW BACK YOU KNOW (heal 10,000 health with the healing kit as the doctor, 5k) [this is naturally going to happen unless there are 2 doctors on a team, though you need to be in a group for this to work well]
DODGE THIS (kill 500 zombies with mercenary's focus shot, 5k) [this is essentially an aimbot thing, you can easily achieve this by doing the combos]
GRINDHOUSE (kill 750 zombies with the blade trap as survivor, 5k) [put this in a narrow area, like between the half walls in village]
DAMPE (save 64 members, 5k) [this is self explanitory, when your allies die, you need to walk over them to revive them for an extra 500 points too]
WEIRD SCIENCE! (kill 500 zombies with the scientist's explosive flask, 5k) [its a bit similar to the ability of journalist of the camera flash, almost an instant kill on press]
THE SUCK ZONE (kill 750 zombies with the scientist's black hole, 5k) [its similar to the electrician's turret, except it affects everyone in range]
REAL GENIUS (kill 500 zombies with the A.L.P.S as the mercenary, 5k) [this ability shoots occasionally and explodes on one enemy]
CAPTAIN AMERICA (kill 500 zombies with the survivor's ramming shield, 5k) [this is a bit hard to achieve, as you rush ahead, and only have half a second to move around and instantly kill enemies]
THE DOCTOR IS IN (kill 500 zombies with the doctor's transplant, 5k) [this is HARD to achieve, while it heals you, it rarely kills zombies on its own.]
SENTRY'S GOING UP (kill 500 zombies with the turret with the electrician, 5k) [This, on the other hand, is very easy to achieve, as the LV 4 turret can decimate enemies and cover an amazing radius]
CRUELLA DE VILLE (kill 101 zombie dogs, 10k) [a fairly easy one, they're the wolf looking enemies, quite fast and slidey, but easy to dodge]
EXTREME PREJUDICE (kill 150 vampires, 10k) [this one's a bit harder because, other than the werewolf, they're the strongest enemies in the game. You'll probably end up killing 8 per round (they appear after night 3), leading to about 16 per game. Overall, not TOO hard, but will take more time than the previous achievement]
SUPER SMASH BROTHER (kill 500 zombies with melee, 10k) [killing zombies with melee is quite easy, most take 1 hit from any melee weapon , and you can easily get 30 kills per night with melee alone]
I'VE COVERED WARS, YOU KNOW (take pictures of 800 zombies with the journalist's camera, 10k) [this doesn't mean actually take pictures, but use the combo power of the journalist and kill 800 zombies with it, you can easily kill 10 per go, and it feels like it fills up faster as the journalist]
DAWN OF THE DEAD (survive 500 days, 25k) [self explanitory, though you'll long be a millionaire before you earn this achievement]
I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS A MASSACRE! (kill 10,000 zombies in total, 25k) [also self explanitory, this will also take an extremely long time]
OVERALL EARNINGS FROM ZOMBIE MASSACRE ACHIEVEMENTS: 208,500 UNITS
This is a VERY profitable game that, if finished,earns you 1/5th of the way there. This is the 2nd most profitable game yet, and I would definitely go for the easiest achievements.
MINIGOLF: ACHIEVEMENTS, TIPS AND TRICKS
Minigolf is exactly how it sounds: putting a ball past wacky courses and trying to get a par and below. You'll see a LOT of people play this, and many of them claim that this is the best way to earn units. Are these rumors true, that this is the best way, out of all the minigames, to earn units? Lets find out
(Side note: this is the game mode which I have the least experience in because, well, its very boring in my opinion)
MAPS
(Like zombie massacre and ball race, this is divided by difficulty: Easy, Medium, and hard)
EASY
These maps are the beginner courses, with no multiplier. There are only 3 maps in this difficulty, listed here:
ISLAND
WATERHOLE
TREASURE COVE
MEDIUM
These maps are the majority of the maps, with a 1.1X multiplier. There are 6 maps in this difficulty, listed here:
FOREST
DARK
EMISSION
ALPINE
ALTITUDE
GARDEN
HARD
These maps are the most profitable of the other maps, with a 1.2X multiplier. There are only 2 maps for this difficulty, being:
KINGDOM
SWEET TOOTH
PAYOUTS
Thanks for playing: 200 units
Hole in one!: 800 units
Phoenix: 900 units
Condor: 700 units
Albatross: 600 units
Eagle: 500 units
Birdie: 400 units
Par: 300 units
Bogey: 200 units
Double Bogey: 150 units
Over double Bogey: 100 units
It is impossible to get a hole in one in every hole, the best you can hope to get is a Condor most of the time. On Kingdom (an 18 course, of course) there are 11 holes where you can get a hole in one, earning you 1.2K for 11 of the holes, and if you got a condor on every other hole, you'd earn 21.5k or so from one map. This may sound amazing, one of the best, but these holes usually last a minute, taking 15-20 minutes per round. The only advantage this has over ball race is you can play this alone, for ball race you need 3 people to get the maximum payout in the best case scenario.
ACHIEVEMENTS
HOLE IN ONE! (get a hole in one, 1.5k) [some of the holes in kingdom are quite easy to get a hole in one, I'm sure there are many others, but I didn't play every map]
LONG DRIVE (hit the ball a total of 100,000 m, 1.5k) [this will happen naturally overtime, though maps like altitude, garden, and treasure cove have a ton of roundabouts or things that extent the length of your ball's movement]
LOFT (be airborn for 30 seconds, 1.5k) [this fits perfectly while playing Altitude, you'll most likely be able to finish this achievement on that map if anything]
LONG PUTT (sink a putt from 1,000 m away, 1.5k) [just get a hole in one (or just hit from a long distance) from either the beginning or at a long downhill windy point]
ANCIENT MARINER (get albatross 10 times, 1.5k) [Albatross happens after condor, so if the par is 6, I recommend trying to just get the map finished in 3 putts]
GREEN GREENS (get Birdie 50 times, 1.5k) [this happens right before par, and there aren't many maps where you have to get a hole in one before you get a par.]
I SEE FIELDS OF GREEN (play through every map, 1.5k) [this just means you have to play all 11 maps through]
______ COMPLETED (play through this map, 1.5k) [this is like every other gamemode, play through the map from beginning to end, with the exception being dark]
_____ HIO #__ (get a hole in one on a certain hole, 1.5k) [I will list all the maps and holes that have this, each worth 1.5k later]
WELCOME TO THE MASTERS (get 25 hole in ones, 5k) [You'll achieve this from trying to achieve the task above naturally, a good extra 5k]
_______ REGULAR (play through this map 10 times, 5k) [same as the completed achievement, except 10 times, exception is dark]
SCREAMING EAGLES (get an eagle 25 times, 10k) [Eagle is 2 before par, so you have to get in the hole relatively quickly, as its also right under albatross]
_____ MASTERED (get a par or below on a map, 10k) [mastering the hole in one holes is going to be your savior, all you need to do is try to get below a bogey for each match, you can go a little over if you also have holes that are lower than par. Exception is yet again dark]

OVERALL EARNINGS FROM MINIGOLF ACHIEVEMENTS: 297,000 UNITS
This is the 2nd most paying gamemode in terms of acheivements, but still only about half as much as Ball Race. about a third of the earnings is from the hole in one.
Overall, while this is a well paying game, its JUST under the paying maximum compared to Ball Race, and the achievements are about half as much from Ball Race. This means that Minigolf may SEEM like it pays the most, but its close, and the only reason you should play minigolf is when you either don't have 2 friends to play with, or if nobody is playing ball race.
MY OVERALL STRATEGY FOR EARNING A MILLION UNITS!
So now that we have the main sources of earning money with how much we can earn, we can now create a game plan on how to earn the money relatively quickly and efficiently. This is on the basis that you're a new player, and while people who have already earned units or spent some are welcome, you may reach the goal sooner or not have enough at the time.
STARTING AMOUNT: 50,000 UNITS (the amount you spawn with as a newcomer)
First, we're going to want to buy the jetpack, the metal detector, a silver catsack, and a fishing pole with a few meatballs, clumps, and worms. This should overall cost you about 22.5k in total. First, do all the easy plaza achievements for 14K, which at this point you should have 41.5K.
AMOUNT: 41,500 UNITS
Next, you should go fishing. Use the worms to try to get a rare fish (the ones with a golden glow), which should earn you "a rare catch" and "making a splash" [if you're very lucky, you might get Forbidden Catch too, netting you an extra 5k]. Then use the clumps to get a fish with an interesting item inside (the fish with question marks inside them) to get trash, netting you another 1.5k. This should in total net you 13k (or 18k if you're very lucky).
AMOUNT: 54,500 UNITS
Next, you should play the plaza minigames, playing the minigame events when they pop up, and trying to get the treasure at sea event as soon as possible. Your goal is to have a golden catsack. Doing the minigames on the plaza event area can get you the achievements, each worth 10k each, though, I doubt you'll play TOO much of these events. If you play an event twice, you'll most likely earn the achievements, the games themselves earning 3k. Once you get the golden catsacks, I recommend trying to do the minigame achievements. You should only really need to play these twice before getting the game. This alone will net you 96k if you get every achievement and get about 3k each game.
AMOUNT: 150,500 UNITS
While waiting for the minigames to start, I would recommend either hitting the casino or playing trivia master or a quick round of Laser Tag if you have friends. Trying to get Trivia master (and trivia showoff if you win with 6 players) can be beneficial, and if you play with a friend and throw it for eachother, laser tag can be very helpful in earning money, earning you about 1.5k per game, and if you got THEIR achievements (mainly sniper and unstoppable), you'll get 26.5k alone from this.
AMOUNT: 181,000 UNITS
Now that you have a decent amount, its time to head to your condo to get a few achievements there. You will want to buy a metal keg, 200 grass patches, and a canvas cube. netting a cost of 750 units. First, you will want to open both the silver and gold catsacks, netting you 25K each, with an overall earning of 40K from the silver catsack you bought earlier. Then place all of the grass patches in your condo, which will take a bit, but will earn you 1.5k. Next, you should go online and get the URL of a picture to put on a canvas cube, gained by right clicking and editing the cube for another 1.5k. You can also press Q and left click the cube to change their scale or rotation for another 1.5k. You can also have 3 other friends to just sit there and talk or so for the party achievement for 10k. You also just need to wait another hour for another 10k from home sweet home. After this, you want to visit other condos for various other achievements, specifically art studio, house, underwater, resort,high rise, and smooth edge. Just visiting will get you the home away from home achievement for 1.5k. For art studio, turn off all the lights for 5k. for House, you need to wait until the map is in night, in which you go to the house across and knock on the door for another 5k. For underwater, there are two achievements, the tree one, and the mysterious hatch, netting you a total of 10K. for resort, you have the two achievements based on clicking the mug and going on the moon, and getting to the catwalk above the fountain area for another 10k. High rise is as easy as turning around and clicking the elevator behind you for an extremely easy 5k. Last, smooth edge is the most time consuming, you can get there by walking in one direction for about 10 minutes earning you ANOTHER 5k. Last, if any of these condos have a piano or a drum, you can try to get people to go over (most people are pretty nice about this) and get 3k for both of them. Overall, from doing condo stuff within the span of 4 hours at most, you can earn 119,000 from these achievements.
AMOUNT: 299,450 UNITS
For ball race, I will list them as if you're playing alone, as its a more stable amount earned. For easy maps, I will assume you play three times, once for trying to finish the map, twice for the golden melon achievements, and three times for the unpoppable achievements. This would mean it would be doing "thanks for playing" and undying for each round.
EASY:
Woodlands: 13.2k
Summit: 14.4k
GLXY: 16.8k
Paradise: 15.6k
EARNINGS FROM EASY MAPS: 60K
MEDIUM:
Event Horizon: 18.48k
Oasis: 14.52k
Khomidro: 15.84k
Nimbus: 13.2k
EARNINGS FROM MEDIUM MAPS: 62.04K
HARD:
Memories: 19.5k
EARNINGS FROM HARD MAPS: 19.5K
VERY HARD:
Prism: 23.4k
Memories: 20.23k
EARNINGS FROM VERY HARD MAPS: 43.43k
EARNINGS FROM PLAYING ALL OF THESE (without achievements): 184,970 UNITS
AMOUNT: 484,420 UNITS.
Next we'll allocate the achievements. If you got the golden melons and undying, you would get 331,500 units from those alone. You also achieve the map completed achievements and the around the world achievement, getting you an EXTRA 18k. This means 349.5k in total JUST from the achievements.
AMOUNT: 833,920 UNITS.
Now that you earned a LOT from ball race (more than tripling your total earnings), we move on to Virus. Lets say you aren't the best, and half the rounds you're infected, and half the rounds, you're alive with a group, but get below 4th place. This would mean that if you tried earning the survived achievement, you'd be playing each map 5 times, which you can easily play to get the mysterious plushies achievements for each map. This would mean, on average, you would be earning 68.1K per one gameplay on each map. You can easily obtain the plushies in one round, and doing the dynamite combo, team player, and shell aware will earn you 20.5k.
AMOUNT: 922,520 UNITS.
Last, I think zombie massacre would be your best bet in finishing off the millionaire attempt.If you got about 2.5k per night for each map (which is a low estimate), you would be earning 75k, not including the survived achievements, adding an extra 7500. a total of 82.5k is earned just from playing through.
AMOUNT: 1,005,020 UNITS!
CONGRATULATIONS! You're a millionaire! You've worked hard getting to this point, but now you're a wealthy person, an elite player, and it only took you a week at the very most! Now you can actually play the game... you can make new friends, buy stuff for your house, play the casino and arcade, and start enjoying the game... just don't go under a million, or else you'll not be one of the elite.
THANK YOU!
A special thank you to the people who agreed to help me with the earnings, allow me to take pictures, and to the rest of you for getting this to one of the most popular guides as of this time and getting this to over 400 views within the time I've been working on it. I hope this has helped you, both newcomers and old veterans, find out the best ways to earn money, what to do for the achievements, and overall enjoy themselves.
also, as an update, we're a few days after completion and we already have almost 600 visitors on the guide after 2 1/2 weeks, or about 35 visits a day. Thank you all for taking interest of my work and my research. I seriously love the game, and wanted to give something to the community, and seeing how I haven't seen something like this, I decided this would help everyone. Its gotten to the point of recognition from MacDguy on the official pixeltailgames discord server, saying:
I cannot thank you all enough for the favorites, likes, and views, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for new minigames and payouts, and try to update the guide to be current to these changes.
On the 14th of april, we reached a thousand views! I'm honestly surprised I made a guide that got half of that here! Thank you all so much for using my guide to help you earn money. I hope you all learned something from the guide, whether its your first day playing, or you've been there since the beginning. I'll make sure to update the guide when new content is added.
