How to unlock the High Score! achievement in Tetris Ultimate - Definitive Guide

Alright, so this achievement is pretty straight forward, beat your own tetris self five times, post a challenge to the challenge feed and win 5 challenges.

A few tips, for beating yourself five times, set your original score low...makes it a doddle then, just rinse and repeat 4 more times. The high score alert pops up on screen whilst playing, so you dont really need to keep tabs on your high score.

For the challenges, I played the same challenge in my feed 5 times and got both badges (restarting doesn't work).

Now a lot of you will probably have an issue with your friends' challenges popping up in your feed. Remember the whole Child of Light issue? Yup, it's the same deal here.

I deleted 100 friends to make sure I had 50 or less, but you might be alright with under 100, if someone can let me know I'll update the guide.

For beating youself, do you have to beat your Highscore...or one of your last scores in your Feed? And can you do it in any mode or only Marathon? Because i started playing the Game and my First Score was already realy highredface

I honestly have no idea sorry. I just played Marathon and beat my high score 5 times and each time it popped up on screen whilst I was playing that I beat my high score.

As far as posting challenges to the feed it is automatic.

I finally got this when I beat my high score by completing marathon mode. I believe this medal can only be earned in marathon after beating my high scores multiple times in other game modes. I also did not access marathon mode through the challenge feed, but accessed it through the main screen.

Challenge feed isn't working for me then, I only see 5 locked awards in my challenge feed. :/

@Supraboosta, I got the 'Self Motivation' award by beating my high score 5 times in Endless. It might be glitchy? But I believe it should be any mode.

How do you badge for the challenge feed? Do you have to have a friend that plays tetris that shows up on your feed? Do you go to progress and then click challenge feed? Thanks

Can't get Tetris® Self Motivation. I get the PB message in NO game mode even though I beat my PB more than 5 times in different modes each.

They should test the XB1 version with a profile with 1000 friends. And PS4 version with a profile with 2000 friends. To make sure the feed works right.

It's because You gave Too many friends. It's a glitch. It Works fine as long as You dont have over 60 friends. Or around 60.

I finally got this. First, I added a few people to friends that had recently gotten this achievement so I would have some people to accept challenges from... still no challenges showing up other than my own scores. So I then tried removing friends from my friends list... I had 84 friends and removed 24 (sorry pals :P) to get down to 60. Challenges showed up and I was able to go to the challenge feed and accept the challenge. Beat the same one 5 times and the achievement popped. Hope this helps... (this game sucks btw)

This achievement requires you to unlock three badges:

Top Dog - accept and beat a challenge in your challenge feed. Access your challenge feed, select one of the challenges, Press A to accept it and then beat it.

Retribution - Beat your friend's scores 5 times. Select your Challenge Feed. Select a friend's score, highlight it and press A to select it. I have only one friend who has this game. He beat Marathon mode, but luckily the challenges it showed me for this game were ridiculously easy.

Some users are reporting that Challenges will not show up if you have a robust friends list. They are apparently having to delete friends to populate the Challenge Feed. I do not have experience with this. Good luck.

Tetris Self Motivation - Beat your own Marathon High Score 5 times. In order to make this easier on yourself, DO THIS FIRST! I mean the very first thing you do when you boot the game. Load up Marathon and end the game as fast as you can, while earning zero lines. Play five more times, the next game earning one line, the second earn two lines, etc. When you surpass your high score you will receive a notification on the screen. You should earn this badge within five minutes.

If however you have already played the game you have two options: 1) do it legit, and beat your high score five times, 2) go offline to complete this AFTER you have already completed the other two badges in this achievement. You will earn this offline, the achievement should pop and then you can resync to xbox live and choose your cloud storage instead of your local storage.

Option 2: From Settings, choose Network Settings, choose Go Offline. Delete the game and reinstall it. It's only 500 MB so not as huge as other games. When you reload the game you should have zero stats and should be able to earn the badge easily. If you've already unlocked the other two badges the achievement should pop at this point.

Settings > Network Settings > Go Online. When you boot Tetris Ultimate you will be asked to choose cloud save file or local save file. Your local save file will contain ONLY the game you played while offline. If you select local save you will be starting over from scratch.

If you select your cloud file you should have the achievement, but not the badge. I do not know if this will affect future achievements.

Good luck with this frustratingly buggy achievement.

The other two solutions already cover everything you need to know about how to obtain the three badges needed for this achievement. I only want to add that since july 2019 no one was able to unlock the achievement on XBO as the challenge feed is broken since then. I contacted Ubisoft and SoMa Play, Ubisoft told me that they „contacted their technical team about this issue“. This was almost two month ago, so there is nothing happening there. SoMa Play didn‘t answer me whatsoever. I am still trying to achieve something by posting in their technical forums regularly but again - with no success
If you want to join the fight here is a link to the technical forum:

Make friends, go to the “Challenge from the news feed”, your friends’ records will appear there, choose which record you want to break, and so on 5 times.
I would like to note that I had three records in my choice, I beat them all and decided to break another one again, I chose with the lowest result, broke it 2 times and received a trophy, in fact, nothing complicated.

The game requires you to beat your own record 20 times, which means "Marathon" mode. It’s better to do it right away when you first start it (or delete the save; on Vita you have to reinstall the game completely), otherwise there is a risk of never breaking your best record if you play very well. You score approximately 100 or 1000 points after the previous record, and so on 20 times.
There shouldn't be any problems with the sprint mode, 2:30 is a lot of time.
