How to unlock the Mad "360" Scientist achievement in Xbox LIVE Labs - Definitive Guide

*THE LABS ARE NOW CLOSED, YOU CANNOT FIND THEM IN THE "MY COMMUNITY" SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD, However, if you happened to download it before March 27th, you can still access the Labs from Quick Launch and get the achievements along with the Avatar Clothes.*

There are a few things to this "game" in order to correctly use it and get it's 3 0G Achievements. The US Test Server is open from March 10th to March 27th, other country's servers will be supposedly opened later. Even though this is true, there are ways to get this on non-US accounts, for those of you Internationals or minors (like me). By minors I mean child accounts, younger than 18 years old.

Restrictions:
-Must be US account, but it won't detect your IP Address.
-Must be an Adult Account.

If your main account is already an Adult AND US account, there is no need to do the procedure below, just go into the Xbox LIVE Labs and wait for the achievements and awards to unlock. Otherwise, read the section below.

Now, to overpass these restrictions with your main non-Adult or non-US account, I've researched AND tested this solution:
Make a new account, or use another one, that MUST be US Account AND an Adult Account. After this is done, you must sign in on the first controller, have a second controller in hand. Don't sign into your main account yet. With controller one, scroll down to the Community Channel, Xbox LIVE Labs should be the second or third option. When you press it you will be on the Labs Menu. DO NOT PRESS START YET. On this menu, sign into your main account on your second controller, and then start up the Labs with the first. By doing this, ALL of the profiles signed in at the moment the application triggers the achievements and Avatar clothes will get these, including offline accounts, as long as you are connected to Xbox LIVE.
**Edit: EmDeeGee says: You don't even need to have a second controller: I found out that you can sign out your eligible account on the load up screen, sign in your main European one and it will get all the achievements and Avatar awards.**

Also note that, like Potato said, the game will be "Om nom nomming" on your internet speed/bandwidth.

Now wait SIX hours to trigger this Achievement.
You can leave the game if you want and continue this later, but you have to do the above process again if you are a minor/international user. Don't worry, quitting or pausing the process won't affect your Achievements or clothes.

Thank you for the Thumbs Up.
Will update this once Servers are closed and if the Servers open up again for other countries.

Look at the time remaining, if you get disconnected check the next time you go into the Labs if you have the same time remaining.

You don't even need to go through the difficulty of the whole launching then signing out thing.

Just download it on your US account, load up your normal account, press the guide button then go to quick launch.

Are you using the same account and the exact same procedure each time you open the application? The progress is saved on the account online supposedly.

"In order to correctly use it and get it's 3" There's a grammatical error there it should be its, unless you actually meant it to be get it is 3. And you don't need to go through all that bollocks to play the game after it's downloaded, you just simply go Recent in your guide and then All. Xbox LIVE Labs is launchable from there from ANY account.

I did about 4,5 hours in my first session and then stopped it to play something. Now every time i start it again it counts down the first 30 minutes again but after ~10-15 minutes i get disconnected. Anyone know what i can do? btw: i have a pretty slow internet connection and i live in germany.

Good guide, I'll +1 it when mine pops. Although it might be worth adding in, that the whole time it's on it'll be om nom nomming at your bandwidth.

According to another solution, the Server saves your progress, so you should be able. I'll look into it.

I will confirm that as of April 24, 2017 these are still obtainable. I downloaded it from my old account, couldn't find it in applications or games, but in download history I was able to select it again and instead of "download again" there was an option for "play now". I selected that, it launched, I signed out, signed into my other account (this one) and obtained all (3) achievements for some sweet easter egg hunt score! :)

Still up as of August 2023. I doubt it actually does anything so it's not server related. If you have it, you can find it in your download history OR the guide - recent - all games. Because it's obsolete it should work indefinitely so long as you have access to it.

I'm sorry, but my friend was banned for such achievements for some reason, for a very VERY stupid reason... Am I the only one who was able to open the app completely offline? Yes, he didn't open it honestly, but still, he earned money without the Internet, even considering that he is testing something for online... If necessary, I'll record a video

So, I don't want to do this for 6 hours straight, can I just do it for 2 hours, then press b and come back another time for the 6 hour achievement? :O

@Redodua: I´d like to know how much time i have left but every time i start it it counts down the first 30minutes again. And it gets disconnected during that time, so i can´t say how long it will take.

Try erasing the Labs, clear your cache, then download it again and try it like that.

Surely the servers for this are down by now, right? I have a friend with this in his download history, but I kind of assumed there was no point in booting it up...

Just got this, 10/05/2022. Can’t find it on Xbox marketplace, had to go to Download History to find it and redownload it. Had 2 hours left of this, now it’s finally completed

Many people are finding this achievement VERY difficult, just like me. so I included a video. Props to you, Microsoft. I faced a very difficult challenge with this game. Credit goes to Rooster Teeth

Turn your Xbox on, enter the labs thingy, select run, go to bed. When you wake up, you will have all three achievements and the avatar awards.
That is assuming you sleep for more than six hours and you don't lose your internet connection while you are asleep.

For the cumulative hours for these achievements, the time stacks.  So after your 30 minute continous wait, once your hour starts it will automatically be halfway.  Once the hour is done, it will automatically start the next timer at 5 hours.  You can feel free to just leave your Xbox on and get all the tests out of the way and win your avatar awards and 0 point achievements.
