How to unlock the Best Buds achievement in Kinect Adventures - Definitive Guide

Just like the other solutions mention, you just need someone to stand in an Adventure with you and the achievement will pop as soon as Kinect detects that person.

But Beavis, you ask, what if you live far away from family and friends and all of your neighbors speak spanish? Well, my friend, there is another way...

You can very easily trick Kinect into thinking that you have someone standing next to you. You just have to show it something that looks like a person. I used a scuba wetsuit and it worked like a charm, but I think you could very easily rig something with a long sleeve shirt and a pair of pants on a couple of hangers. If you happen to live in the north and own pajamas with feet or if you are a lumberjack and own full body thermal underwear, both would probably do the job.

Make sure that Kinect recognizes you and has your profile active and then introduce it to your new friend. When I did this, Kinect gave control of the menus to my wetsuit, so I had to hold out the arm and use it to navigate to my next Adventure.

I have also heard that people's dogs sometimes trigger the achievement, so it is possible that any significant movement away from your body will also do the trick, but I have not tried this myself.

Good luck!

Can you have another player just sign in or does Kinect actually have to detect someone / something?

fro thebighit, you must have a really tall dog.. the sensor doesn't detect anything shorter than 1m / 3 feet.

originally i had my Kinect Sensor below my TV, which is a little less than 3 feet from the ground....so that theory is kinda flawed....it does detect lower than 3 feet. now i didnt say it worked very well lol....so now my Sensor sits up on top of my 48" flatscreen with that overly priced TV mount/hanger for the Sensor. Kinect definitely works much better when it sits about 5-6 feet off the ground.

As soon as your Kinect recognizes a second person this will unlock, no need to even finish the activity or challenge. This will not unlock online, you need another person locally to play with.

Once your Kinect detects a second player, the achievement will unlock without you even having to finish the game. This achievement cannot be obtained with
player online, you will need someone to play on the same console.
