How to unlock the Call Me Master achievement in Microsoft Sudoku - Definitive Guide

Very simple to do, go with very easy games, turn on all the helpers, each game should take 35-50 seconds once you get the hang of it. You can keep track of your progress on the home screen to the right under stats.

The only issue is that the counter seems to reset. Not sure what all the triggers are or how to stop it from happening, but when I alt-tabbed out of the game at one point and when i came back my 12 games were down to 0.

Recommended that you do this in one sitting - don't leave the game, don't alt tab - would take less then 2 hours assuming 1 min per game (including loading).

Anybody going for this should probably do it in one sitting (not closing out of the game or tabbing out) to prevent counter resets. I had no issues this way, although I did press Home a few times after puzzles. Thank you for the tips!

You must finish at least one daily challenge before stats are saving. wink

Just tested the daily challenge theory - does not work. Completed X puzzles, did a daily, shut down the app, came back and they were back to 0.

I did some testing around too and every time I shut down the app my stats reset until I completed one Daily Challenge. I think it only starts saving (in the cloud) after a daily challenge. Apparently stats can still reset after a completed daily challenge.

It is definitely worth a try if you NEED to shut the game down to do a daily first and hope it works (sometimes it did, but twice it did not), so better safe then sorry but don't hold your breath.

I would advise everyone to do it in one run to be safe.

Same happened to me - Noticed my leaderboard counts were correct, but my statistics were back to 0. Does anyone know if this also happens to the count of Irregular Houses completed? I swear I should have more than 100 by now, but it hasn't popped.

I haven't been paying attention to how many i have done for irregular houses, but i have done ever daily so far and still don't have it. I will keep you in the loop on when it unlocks for me.

The Irregular Houses just unlocked for me. I needed about 50 after completing the June ones so far. So, it seems that the reset does not impact the Irregular Houses, just the games played.

I did this all in one setting just in case it reset like the solution said and got the achievement and it didn't take long. However, it looks like now the counter isn't resetting as it kept my stats after restarting the computer multiple times.

It seems like they fixed it, it seems to be all normal for me.

Don't think they ever fixed it completely. Just had mine reset after about 80 or so completed.

Do daily challenges count as a completed puzzle? or do i need 100 separate games?

i don't think the count for this achievement. It has been years since i have played it tho, so not 100% sure.

I counted as I did it, and it took me exactly 100 in one sitting.
I'm not sure how many games I'd played previously on the device I used, but I've played a lot of games on another device, so it certainly isn't saving the count on the server.

@oX xM1K3x Xo Can confirm daily doesn't count towards it

Never had an issue with saving, I got this after doing 90 or so in one sitting, the previous ten or so I did had been saved. Took about an hour and a half for the 90 on Very Easy, the ten probably took around fifteen or twenty minutes across all the difficulties.

To make it easy, you can do 20 games per difficulty. Use all the hints and helpers unless you are going for the achievement where you have to finish an expert puzzle without using hints or helper functions.

*GLITCHY* 
This achievement requires that you complete 100 puzzles. To complete a puzzle, you must correctly fill all of the numbers. This can be done on Very Easy difficulty from the Main Menu. Turn all three Guides on (Block Duplicates, Show Incorrect, Show Guides). This will make completing the puzzle a breeze and should take less than 1 minute per puzzle. In total, this will take one to two hours to complete. See "Speed Demon" for the best technique to complete the puzzles.

GLITCH NOTE: 
The counter for this achievement (found under Statistics>Global>Games Played from the Main Menu) has been found to reset every time you close the app. Therefore, it is currently required that you complete all 100 puzzles in a single sitting without exiting the app. This will more than likely be patched in the future.
