How to unlock the Fakin' It: Pointilism achievement in The Jackbox Party Pack 3 - Definitive Guide

This requires players to complete 40 "You Gotta Point" Tasks within the category "You Gotta Point"

The easiest way to do this is to go for the play five games in a row achievement at the same time. Simply open up 3 private browsers and play with them.

When playing with 3 people, if you never catch the faker you get 2 tasks a round for 4 founds, which equals 8. You need to at least start the 5th game to get the achievement for playing 5 games in a row, which means you just finish the 5th game and, as long as you never caught the faker, you will have your 40 "You Gotta Point" Tasks completed.

Or, for the mathematically inclined,

2 x 4 = 8 == 1 game
8 x 5 = 40 == 5 games

No need to waste your time creating 4-5 player games and flipping between a bunch of browsers when its easily doable with 3, which is what I did.

Just a note though, I'm not sure if it just happened to me or what, but I was boosting this the other day and got up to about 18, plus I've played a few tasks of this with my family as well over the break, yet when I unlocked it today I needed to play out all 40 in one sitting. So if it's not working for you it may be because you actually need it in one sitting, which seems strange but it's what I had to do.

*EDIT* previously, it looks like you needed to do all 40 in one sitting. However, people have mentioned this is no longer the case. Just something to keep in mind when you’re working towards this.

Can confirm that the 40 tasks need to be done in one sitting.

Confirming that they need to be done in one sitting. Tried to chip at it here and there for a few weeks, then tried in one go tonight to finally get it.

That has to be some bug. Because the odds that someone would get through that many Point games in a row when you can pick any game is super slim, in one sitting.

Make sure you play out the last round. If you don't enter anything it will kick you out and you will have to start all the progress over.

You do not need to play them all in the same lobby. My game froze in the 5th round. I had to force quit and start a new lobby. Got it the next game with new game code and players.

3 player games seems to force you to do a random task for the fourth round if you did You Gotta Point for the first three. So it's not a guarantee that you'll get all 8 in a 3-player match, but you should get at least 6 YGP tasks if you don't catch the faker.

I have gone through 2 full sessions of at least 40 plus "you've gotta point" tasks with no luck.. Anyone have any ideas on how to force an unlock or get this to pop? Seems very buggy. Thanks for any suggestions.

Another thought I had was maybe it registers each time a "you've gotta point" task is selected which if that is the case is only 3 times per game I believe which means you'd have to play a min. of 14 games to get 42 selected. BUT I swear in total I have more than that!! I will update this if it pops..

@Shadow XBL I feel like it was just programmed incorrectly. Their intent was most likely that it saves game state between sessions, but obviously this isn't the case and when the game is exited, the progress is reset.

I had to do all 40 in one sitting. I've played many games of Fakin' It with friends and family, picking You Gotta Point a fair few times, so thought they'd stack up as never done 40 in one sitting. Tried this morning and counted along and had to do all 40. Such a poorly programmed achievement. Who would choose the same thing 40 times without grinding/boosting? facepalm

TheDude722 has the right idea but the math is all wrong.

You can get this achievement and the Fake 2 Five-ious achievement at nearly the same time by following this solution.

First, create a 5 player game. Next, choose "You Gotta Point" for each time you get a choice. You will only not get a choice on the first round of the first game and the last round of each game. To speed things up, always find the faker in rounds not involving "You Gotta Point".

Second, with a 5 player game you can earn 9 "You Gotta Point" points in each round as long as you don't find the faker when playing this game mode. Right about the time you are getting to the second "You Gotta Point" match in the 5th and final game, you should earn this achievement.

You will earn the Fake 2 Five-ious achievement at the beginning of the fifth game as long as you kept playing with the same players for the five games.

Get every player to pick "You Gotta Point" for their choice of game mode each round. It will take several games to get this.

* Each turn in a round should count toward the achievement. So if you're trying to do this in the least number of games, then don't ever find the faker. This will make each round take the maximum number of attempts and add 1 more task to your counter.

a 3-player game gives 2 chances per round for 4 rounds = 8 counts
a 4-player or 5-player game gives 3 chances per round for 7 rounds = 21 counts
* I haven't tried a 6-player game yet, so if anyone knows the # of tries to catch each faker and the number of total rounds, please let me know

The Xbox One achievement tracker does not show progress toward this. So either keep your own count, or let it surprise you.

Combined this with the Fakin' It: World's Greatest Detectives, Fakin' It: Deep Cover, and Fakin' It: 2 Fake 2 Five-ious Trophies.

Simply opened up my laptop and connected from 3 different browsers. Multiple private firefox browsers didn't seem to work but did have luck with Safari.

Anyway you will select "You Gotta Point" for each round. The first you can make sure to vote for the faker on the first task to unlock "World's Greatest Detectives."

After that you will want to avoid voting for the faker to maximize your task counter. The first time you let the faker free you will unlock "Deep Cover".

It's a bit of a grind from here but you'll want to take care of all of this in one session never leaving Fakin' It. I repeated each game with same players but have read that doesn't effect anything.

At the start of the 5th game I unlocked "2 Fake 2 Five-ious" and shortly after that I also got the "Pointillism"

The "You Gotta Point" task is the Green task you can choose from (with the lady stretching out her hand and pointing). You'll need to play this task 40 times to get this trophy.

You can choose which task to play for the first three rounds. The Final round is chosen at random. 

If playing with 3 players, you will have at least 6 opportunities to play this. If playing with 4+ players, you will have 9. It is highly recommended you use the Multi-Fox method so you can choose this task every time.

If using the Multi-Fox method, see  Fakin' It: World's Greatest Detectives for the step-by-step instructions on how to earn all of the Fakin' It trophies.

This is the most tedious achievement in the game. During each round of Fakin' It, one player will be given a choice of categories. The category "You Gotta Point" must be selected for this achievement, and you need to do 40 tasks in this category. Thankfully, each time you don't catch the faker and have to repeat a task, this counts again towards the 40 needed for this achievement. So while there isn't really a way to make this go faster, to do it in the shortest number of games possible, have everyone vote for players that aren't the faker, so you have to do more You Gotta Point tasks. Once you've accumulated a total of 40, this achievement will finally unlock.
