How to unlock the Upside down achievement in Animated Puzzles Star - Definitive Guide

OK, there isn't an option or anything, it really wants you to assemble the puzzle manually but upside down. The puzzle, not your device. The pieces won't auto-snap so it takes a bit longer especially if you haven't done it right side up yet. Click the pieces to rotate them into place. Work your way from the corners in and use the animation to help. Birds fly across the sky (which should be on the bottom) and smoke rises (well, falls) from the house. When complete, the board will turn completely red as if you placed a final piece wrong and you'll pop the achievement. My X1 was on and I heard it unlock there first to be honest.

Some people are reporting issues with it unlocking. A few good suggestions:

* Make sure you are on Normal difficulty
* Make sure you do not use custom settings
* PauloHenriqueMB suggested double checking two tricky pieces as shown here:

* SweetArkhane suggested using a different puzzle piece shape to solve it with

Thanks for the note about it saying the final piece is wrong. I thought it'd give me some positive confirmation, considering that the unlocks show up on my phone and not my PC.

Hmm did it twice and it didn't unlock. No idea what I could be doing wrong. I made sure it's Normal difficulty.

Do you have any custom settings on? Make sure you don't as they disable achievements.

Same question. Do you use custom settings at all? That screen says if you alter the settings, no achievement.

Then I wish I could offer more help. You don't have to start top left nor do you have to work left to right.

No custom settings here either.

Edit: Well 3rd time was the charm. No idea what was different this time.

Did you have to do it over again or was it simply delayed?

I did it a second time, I used a different shape, and it unlocked at the right moment (when I placed the last piece).

The suggestion in the post above yours (which I'm editing into the solution) is a possible reason. Please remember that the pieces do not snap together so it can be hard to tell if the sky is put together correctly. Another member mentioned using a different puzzle shape helped.

How do you turn off auto snap? How do you flip it upside? Is it really just rotating your laptop? I've tried normal difficulty with my laptop upside down as the solution suggests but that doesn't work.

You don't turn it off, it simply doesn't work since auto snap happens when the pieces are oriented properly. Click the piece to rotate. If you are playing with your laptop upside down, you are trying too hard laugh

After playing through 50 straight daily challenges, I totally forgot that individual pieces could be rotated to have them the wrong way!

Best suggestions then are to rotate pieces that you are unsure of and double check the 2nd image that shows 2 commonly mismatched ones.

To make it more clear, i turned off custom settings then played. I
1. Turned on rotation lock and played
2. Turned off rotation lock and played
3. Tried on hard difficulty
4. Started the level while my phone was already upside down
5. Started the game while my phone was already upside down and then played the level
6. Tried using different shapes

Even after doing these steps i didn't got the achievement

Also the level completed on each try

Ps: I am using the 950xl on insider fast ring

Sounds like you are doing the same thing as what I did. Your device can be upright. You need to rotate each piece so that they are all upside down and solve the puzzle that way - ground on top, sky on the bottom. Again, just rotate the pieces 180 degrees. The position of you device doesn't matter.

This is very easy to do if you have a tablet or a laptop with touch screen:

Start the puzzle as normal on normal difficulty (Sunset House puzzle on Tier 1), then bring up the Windows Action Centre (bottom right on Windows taskbar) and turn "rotation lock" on. Then just flip your device physically upside down and complete the puzzle as normal. Once you place the last piece the whole puzzle will turn red and the achievement should pop.

Note: on a PC you could try flipping the desktop by going into Display Settings and then changing the orientation to "landscape flipped" - but be warned as the mouse movement will flip which may make it harder to nagivate.
