How to unlock the Marathon achievement in Microsoft Sudoku - Definitive Guide

The wording of this achievement is a little unclear - so just to confirm:

You don't have to log into Sudoku every day for a month and complete a challenge to get this achievement.

What you can do is ensure you play and complete one more achievements from each day on the calendar for a whole month. You can actually miss logging in at any stage, as long as you go back another day, go into the Daily Challenge Calendar and complete a challenge from the day you missed.

You can get this achievement in tandem with working towards this one:

Microsoft Sudoku (Windows)PerfectionThe Perfection achievement in Microsoft Sudoku (Windows) worth 33 pointsComplete all Daily Challenges in a month


I got this achievement in June 2014, the month the game came out. Despite the fact the game wasn't released until later in the month, I went through and played challenges from every day of June. When I completed one challenge on June 30, the achievement popped.

I can confirm that you don't actually have to log in daily as I also got this on June 30th when going for "Perfection." +1

Same here. I had done all of June's challenges up to today with the intention of working for 'Perfection' and Marathon popped for me today after completing a challenge without me ever changing the date of my PC. Worked on the other version too.

I believe this achievement is glitched in our favor right now. In a previous Microsoft game (Minesweeper maybe?) there was a similar achievement, and you did in fact have to log in each day and complete a challenge for a whole month. I don't know if they'll bother fixing this in a future release.

Just a heads up for anyone looking to do this quick for whatever reason... You can adjust the date ahead to finish a month early. I just moved the date up on my tablet from July 28 to July 31, which let me complete the last 3 days of challenges for the month. Does not work for a new month i.e. July 28 to Aug 1.

I can't even complete a single daily challenge on this game as it always freezes up as I finish.

I can also confirm you can roll back the date and get this achievement. I forgot to do the last two days of January 2016. I put the day as January 31, 2016 and I was able to do the challenges.

This is definitely a buggy achievement... but in a good way. It's not that it's unclear, it's that the description is just plain wrong.

In every other MS game like this, the Marathon has to be done in a day-by-day (or by adjusting the dates on your PC). Not so this.

If you play a challenge in every day in a month, this should pop. It did for me both on this version and the Japanese version. As soon as you play a challenge in the last day of the month that you're missing, it should pop. For me it was June 16 in one, and June 8 in the other. As mentioned you can also go for the Perfection achievement at the same time.

THX to brydgesr he found a glitchi solution for this Achievement.

This works for all those Marathon achievements like

Microsoft Minesweeper (Windows 8)Wins At Your BackThe Wins At Your Back achievement in Microsoft Minesweeper (Windows 8) worth 47 pointsLog in each day of an entire month and complete at least one Daily Challenge.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection (Windows)MarathonThe Marathon achievement in Microsoft Solitaire Collection (Windows) worth 62 pointsCome back each day of an entire month and complete at least one Daily Challenge

Taptiles (Windows)MarathonThe Marathon achievement in Taptiles (Windows) worth 35 pointsLog in each day of an entire month and complete at least one Daily Challenge.


1. Set the Windows-Clock on the 1. of an month but an earlier month (like January wen its February or March wen its April)

2. Sign Out of your Windows Microsoft Profile an sign back in

3. Play the daily challenge of the 1st of the month.

4. Push STRG+ALT+DEL go to you Task Manager and kill the game tasks

5. Change the System Date to the 2nd of the month then repeat the steps 2. - 5. from the 1st of the month to the last day of the month.

Make sure wen you start the game that in the top corner you be signed in to Xbox live and after the last day of the month the chevo should pop.

You only need to finished and least ONE DAILY Challenge

in my run i did not look if i was signed in correctly so i get glitched wile i'm glitching and i need some few more days to get the Achievement. Be sure that your Gamertag is shown on the top right.

This works with all Marathon in the same way and you can do them all together. I do this for Taptiles, Sudoku, Solitair and Minesweeper at the same time.

Your achievement get the time stamp from your last daily challenge you finished!

If you have questions use the comments.

This achievement requires that you complete a single Daily Challenge for each day in an entire month. The description is a bit misleading. You only need to complete a puzzle from each day. You DO NOT have to actually log in each day to earn this achievement. For example, in August, you can unlock this achievement by only logging in on August 31st and completing a single challenge from each of the 31 days in the month. Also, as long as you are in the current month, you can advance your computer's settings head to the last day of the month to have access to all of the challenges. 

This will unlock on the way to getting the "Perfection" achievement.

The wording is not accurate (or there is a glitch when receiving the achievement).
To receive an achievement , you need to complete one of the daily tasks within a month. It is not necessary to log in every day (30 times a month).
(I started on the 18th - installed the game - completed all the tasks from the 1st, and then every day I completed everything that was given out as daily tasks. The achievement opened after completing the first of three tasks from the 31st)
Perhaps for this it was necessary to log in every day, without missing, from the moment the game started.
