How to unlock the Fakin' It: World's Greatest Detectives achievement in The Jackbox Party Pack 3 - Definitive Guide
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.
You will select "You Gotta Point" for each round. The first round 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 "Pointillism"
You cannot get the trophies for this game unless you can physically see the other players, are verbally telling the other players the answers, or use the Multi-Fox method.
Each round, the players are given a task to do along with a scenario in which to do it. This includes raising your hand, pointing at other players, filling in blank answers, etc.
Example: Raise your hand if you've ever played a (The) Jackbox Party game.
Everyone will get the same task, but only one person will not receive the scenario (The Faker). When prompted, everyone will need to perform the task based on the scenario and The Faker will have to play along pretending they know what it is. After the task is complete, everyone will need to vote on who they think the Faker. You will need to guess the Faker on the first try to unlock this trophy.
It is recommended you use the Multi-Fox method to do this. See below for details.
- Create a four player game. No audience members are required. You'll play with these same three players for five games in a row
- Whenever you get the option to pick a category, always choose "YOU GOTTA POINT". When you get the task, keep a note of who the Faker is. When you have to vote for them, vote for the real Faker on the first try. This will unlock World's Greatest Detective.
- For the remainder of the five games, never choose the Faker correctly again. This will allow you to play two "You Gotta Point" tasks per round. Deep Cover will unlock during the second round while doing this.
- There are three rounds you will be able to choose the task in, so you'll get 9 plays of "You Gotta Point" tasks each game. Play through the five games required for Fakin' It: 2 Fake 2 Five-ious. You will unlock Fakin' It: Pointilism in the middle of the 5th game.
Upon starting up a game, one player will be told to choose a category. Choose any category, and then all players except one will be given a direction; the faker will be told "Try to blend in by..." Make note of which player is the faker. When it's time to vote, have all players vote for the faker to catch him on the first vote and unlock this achievement.
