How to unlock the Overachiever achievement in Escape Academy - Definitive Guide

You get A+ in a level if you complete it within given time (without dying and take +5 minutes or +15 minutes to continue.) and without using hints.

I'm providing quickest way to complete each level; and not having to go through each step to arrive at the solutions. I'm adding only partial guide, for first 6 missions of the game. If anyone else wants to contribute for the last 4, they're welcome.

It's better if you are familiar with the layout of the levels. If not, you can spend time looking around in the level. Just don't take too much time and don't use hints.

The only thing I would adjust is that in The Breakout, the location you need to click for the new coordinates actually depends on your time in the level, as seen by the clock on the right desk, compared to the giant hanging map. When I was speeding through for my A+ I was at about 1:50, and the solution was around square C3.

FYI this achievement is bugged for some people (myself included). I have finished every mission in under 5 minutes with no hints and A+ grade but it still hasn't popped. Great guide otherwise, it helped me cut down the time I had on some of the levels.

The achievement didn't pop for me. So I started a new game in a different slot and speedran the game. It unlocked after 8 missions and took me less than 30 minutes.

Thanks to EIundari for mentioning you have to score the A+ on first try. I came here about to ask the same question. Guess I'll have to start a new game once I'm done...

I believe the count carries across multiple games, I started a game only did 4 escapes and got a+ or b+, started a new game and got a+ on the same 4 escapes and the B+ or better achievement popped

Can confirm A+ is counted between saves. I just kept playing the first few easy rooms, deleting, and starting new save file until popped.

Def doesn’t seem to work just replaying a stage over and over via dorm (I tried w second room since it so quick).

This achievement is glitched. Played through the game once and got all A+, some on replay, didn’t get it. Speedran through the whole game again on a Second file, making sure to get it first try, still didn’t unlock. Very annoying. Doubly so as it doesn’t show what grade you got on each level in level select.

I had to replay most escape room to get an A+ on them. When I thought I had got an A+ on all escape room and received neither B+ or A+ achievements, I replayed the first escape room and got the B+ achievement then replayed the second escape room and got the A+ achievement.

you do not have to replay the game, just go to dorm, look for levels you did bad on (high times), and replay them.

Didn't even have to complete the game, seems that the tracker automatically goes up when replaying, making this super easy, especially if you play solo first and then go back for the co-op achievements.

Leaving my experience for others: 1st play through missed this achievement. Made a 2nd play through and got A+ on 11 levels with no achievement. Uninstalled and reinstalled and then tried to replay a level from 2nd play through - no success. Played the 12th level on 2nd play through - no success. Made a 3rd game save and got A+ on first level - Achievement Unlocked.

This is an alternate way, in case for whatever reason you want the achievement without playing much of the game.

You can get this pretty early in the game. Replaying Escapes counts. So if you want to get this out of the way early, best way to do is replay The Enterance Exam over and over. You can skip everything in that one and just put in the solution( Sandra Jaqueline Solange) it takes about 10-20 seconds each time. Do that 10 times(or 9 if you got an A+ on the tutorial level) and you'll get the achievement.

This alternate way did not initially work for me. When checking the board in my dorm, I have 7 levels with an A+ (including The Entrance Exam as one of them). So with 7 A+'s already, I should only need 3 more replays to pop 10. But I played The Entrance Exam 4 more times with an A+ and did not pop this achieve.

(UPDATE) I just popped this achieve after (first doing what I wrote above and then) replaying and solving The Rival Room and scoring an A+. So maybe a few of the A+'s in The Entrance Exam I wrote about above counted somewhat? I currently have 9 levels (Introductions, The Entrance Exam, Escape Artist, Under Pressure, The Breakout, Lab Rat, The Tea Kettle, The Rival Room, & The Confrontation) with an A+ recorded on the board in the dorm, so at least one of the The Entrance Exam replays must've counted to get to 10. So, thanks, OlBlueEyes73!

To earn an A+ rating on an escape room, you must complete it in the allotted time and not use any hints. If you are earning an A+ rating on all the escape rooms, this achievement and Honor Roll (75G) should unlock after you complete ‘Where There’s Smoke’ or ‘Tea ‘N Tea’ (depending on which one you play first).

Note that this has the possibility of unlocking early; it unlocked for me after completing only 8 escape rooms with an A+ rating (after completing ‘Lab Rat’ and before starting ‘The Rival Room’).

If you accidentally press button-x.png to use a hint, do not complete the escape room. You need to quit the level and try again.

Note: Your score only counts from your first attempt at solving the escape room. If you replay an escape room via your dorm because you didn’t earn an A+ rating the first time, this will not count. However, this does carry over to additional saves. For example, if you earn an A+ rating on 6 of the 13 escape rooms, you can start a new game on a new save and get four more A+ ratings on that second save for the achievement.
