Taptiles

This achievement is slightly misleading. It does say every day over the course of one month, HOWEVER, they can't be 31 days in a row from the calendar, on the same day.

For example, if it's the last day of the month (for example, the 31st), and you go into the calendar and do a challenge on the 31st, for one of the daily challenges for each day of the month, the achievement won't pop.

What you need to do, is for 31 days running (note that it's 31 days running, NOT every day in a single month. So, for example, you could do a daily challenge every day from 10th January to 9th February, which is a total of 31 days, and the achievement would unlock.

Please note, that you do NOT need to do all three challenges on each of the days of a month for the achievement to pop, you only need to do a minimum of one per day, although I do recommend that you attempt to do so, as it will help towards the monthly bronze, silver, and gold medals/badges.

I can confirm that you CANNOT get the achievement if you miss a day, and go back and do the challenge for the missed day via the calendar on any following day. It HAS TO BE a same-day challenge every day.

Also, please note, that you should not do challenges of the day from the calendar (i.e. Clicking on the Calendar, and then clicking on the day that you're currently on). For some reason, this has a tendancy to lose people their current coin and challenge-complete data. To make sure they count, before doing any of the day's challenges, restart the game, click on "Daily Challenges", and do them from the page that comes up. DO NOT go to the calendar to do them.

I am creating this solution to simplify what “TSG Dawggie” originally posted in his solution.

1.) To get this achievement you have to complete at least 1 daily challenge for between 28 to 31 consecutive days. The number of days required depends on the number of days in the month you will complete this achievement. So if you start in the middle of January that is a 31 day long and finish in February that is 28 to 29 days long, you only have to complete 28 to 29 consecutive days.

2.) You can start in one month and finish in the following month.

3.) If you miss a day you simply have to start over. You cannot go into the calendar to replay any of the 3 daily challenges for a given day if you missed a day.



To avoid most problems/glitches always…

1.) Make sure you let your Xbox Live profile log in before clicking anything in the game.

2.) Open a challenge for the current day from the challenges page and not the calendar.

3.) Always back all the way to the games main menu when you have completed a challenge.

4.) Completely close Taptiles when you're done playing by returning to Start and opening the left side menu/task menu and closing Taptiles.

5.) Saving to the cloud if prompted with a local or cloud save option is suggested.

Contrary to popular belief, it is actually possible to get this without having to play 31 consecutive days. This basically involves the same method as Calendar Man's Achievement in Batman: Arkham City, if you're familiar with it.

Before you give me a Negative Vote, comment and tell me what the issue is and I'll see if I can help you out. Also, I apologize in advance if this guide is tricky to understand. Leave me a comment or suggestion and I'll attempt to go into better detail.

REQUIREMENTS:
In order to do this you will have to start playing on the 1st of a 31 day month:
~January
~March
~May
~July
~August
~October
~December
OR
You must have played enough consecutive days from the previous month going into the next. So, for example, if you play the last 5 days of January, you're able to play the first 26 days of February for a total of 31 consecutive days.

HOW TO:
Okay, so if you've got the requirements down, the process is very simple. Play your daily challenge for the current day of the month. After winning at least one challenge, wait until it confirms your victory, and then close the game out.

Now go into your Date/Time Settings and change the date of your computer to the next day. Open up your game again and you should notice that the Daily Challenge date has changed as well. Open the Daily Challenges up and, again, play at least one, wait until victory is confirmed, and then close out your game again.

Rinse and repeat this process until you have completed 31 "consecutive" days. Now close out your game one last time, change the date back to the current day and open up Taptiles one last time. After signing in the "Marathon" Achievement should pop.

Keep in mind, this is technically boosting for the Achievement but it allows those of you who are having a hard time playing for a month straight to get a measly 10 Gamerscore, which in my opinion is absolutely ridiculous.

ISSUES:

1. One thing I've noticed while doing this is that it eventually tells you that the game cannot connect to Xbox Live. Keep in mind you must SIGN IN every day, so if you notice that it cannot connect, do the following:

a. Open up your game and allow it to sign in.
b. If it does not work, minimize the game, open up your Date/Time Settings again and switch to the current date.
c. Go back into your game and hit sign-in (the Daily Challenges date should still read the day you're on, not the current date).
d. Once you are signed in, minimize the game once more.
e. Change the date back to the day you were on when it wouldn't allow you to sign in.
f. Maximize Taptiles and select Daily Challenges.
g. You should now be signed in and back on track.

2. Now, the reasoning for why you must start on the 1st day of a 31 day month, is that it will fail to read the Daily Challenges data for next month if you change your System Date on your computer. So you could play, for example, all of February (28 days) but if you try and change your date to March 1st and then load up Daily Challenges, it will refuse and tell you that they cannot be accessed. I've tried to solve this but so far I have found nothing. If anyone solves this, comment and let me know.

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

This works for all those Marathon achievements like





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!
