How to unlock the 500 Club achievement in Minesweeper Flags - Definitive Guide

The fastest way to win would be to play Classic Custom 16 x 30 with 10 mines.

Every opening click gets you almost the whole board.

Whew, talk about grinding. This was my last achievement, and I had to do the above about 250 times!!

Since I couldn't find anyone confirming this worked (and TA shows that Lacwant doesn't currently have this achievement), I went the safe route and just did Classic-Beginner a ton.

I think now I can confirm that Custom games do count though. Custom is the only type that doesn't show up in your leaderboards, and my achievement popped when I had 478 total wins in all my leaderboard scores. 22 games sounds pretty close to what I thought I played in Custom.

It does count. As I commented above (2 years ago!) I did Classic Custom a lot and earned the achievement.

You can track progress in your "My Stats" screen -- the leaderboards are not a good guide here.

Campaign games DO count
Custom games DO count
Flag games DO count
Multiplayer games DO count

Go to Help & Options. Select My Stats and then add up all of your wins to see how many custom games you will need to play. I wound up having to play just under 300.

Custom games should be 16 X 30 with 10 mines if you are going for speed. With menus and loading times, I was winning each game in 12 seconds on average so while it is a pain in the butt achievement it doesn't take all that long to do.

I wrote this in a comment on accident - should have made it a solution.

I can confirm that custom games count. Custom games are the only type that don't show up in your leaderboards, and I popped this achievement when I had a total of 478 leaderboard wins (using mostly classic-beginner). 22 wins in Custom feels about like what I thought I played in that type.

Also, it appears that Flag wins SHOULD count towards this achievement, as my 478 number included 30 Flag wins.

mine popped at 495 including everything, it was annoying because I wanted to save it for an easy achievement to keep my streak going as I already had one that day

You must win 500 games of any type, single player or multi-player. The best way to do this by far is to go to the classic gametype under single player, and pick a custom board. You'll want the classic background, and your dimensions are going to be 16x30 with 10 mines. This way, if you're fast, even the most "difficult" rounds will take 10 seconds, maybe 15 at the most. You'll even have some rounds where you win on the first click! Fantastic. You can check your progress under Help & Options > My Stats.
