Trophy guide
A chronological platinum route through Barnsworth, with every optional encounter, return visit and one-way deadline.
PS5
No difficulty or online requirements. Read the next route stage before moving on. The town changes between visits, and the ending is not a free-roam cleanup point.
Start in reception and get Patience is a Virtue by waiting for the mayor. This takes about 15 minutes. After that short ending, start a new game for the full journey through town.
Use Roadmap to follow the six stages below in order. These are my route stages, not in-game chapters. Read the next stage before leaving your current area, then follow its linked trophy names for exact locations and actions. Trophies is the lookup for an individual solution. Open the spoiler disclosures for the stage you're playing, as several optional actions must happen before the next story event.
We'll clear reception and the first square, repair the fryer over several circuits, help the shops around the market, then finish the milk and shopping errands. On those circuits, keep up with the pub conversations, the fishmonger's display and the food van. Their last encounters depend on earlier visits. The final stage clears the garden and the remaining town encounters before delivering soup and finishing the story.
I recommend doing the optional actions as they appear in this route. There is no chapter select or postgame cleanup, and some locations change permanently. If you miss a short early action, a new game can recover it quickly. Missing one part of a repeated encounter can mean replaying its whole sequence. Already unlocked trophies stay earned, but don't rely on an unfinished sequence carrying into a new run.
The platinum needs the other 32 trophies. There are no difficulty, online or DLC trophies to add to this PS5 list.
In the opening office, slap the water cooler and push its bottle right. Leave through the window and take the bus to reception. Wait for Patience is a Virtue, then choose New Game after the credits. On the full run, knock three times on the closed door to the receptionist's right. Leave through the left door for Visit Barnsworth. This is the first of the nine doors in Bobby Knocker.
In the square, damage both postboxes for No Post on Thuesdays, ride the mower for A Lovely Pair, and wake the singing mice behind the gardener for The Rat Pack. Slap the moving soil at the park's lower-right corner until the mole invites you to dinner. Let him finish talking. This starts Mole Supper and Friend of the Forest. Open Nick's shutter for the first part of Everything Must Go, then knock on the chicken shop's shutter for another door.
Before going to the pub, speak to Meg and Colin outside Mother Megg's Buttery Goods about the missing key. This opens the pub. Inside, enter the cellar through the sink at the bar's far right. Burst the beer kegs, then enter the lower-right pipe and tap to escape the glass upstairs. Stay for the full bar conversation. From now on, revisit the pub whenever this route brings you back to the square for Think F.A.S.T.. Also slap the policeman's box and hear his response.
Outside Mother Megg's Buttery Goods, slap Ronny on the ground for Sick as a Fig. Enter the shop, go through the staff entrance and reach the fridge. Listen to the animal before leaving. Push the large butter off its shelf for In For A Penny. Check the pub and Nick again before dropping into Charlie's hole. Follow the pipe under the plate into the chip shop.
bronze · unmissable
Free Charlie's hand
Charlie is trapped in a drain in the first square. Finish the pub scene, then enter Mother Megg's Buttery Goods. Use the staff entrance to reach the fridge. Climb the boxes at the back, slap the top box and listen to the animal for Friend of the Forest. Push the large butter off the second shelf to start the scene that frees Charlie's hand. The trophy unlocks with his escape. The hole he leaves is the route to the chip shop.
gold · missable
Wait in reception
Stay in the starting reception room for about 15 real minutes without leaving for town. When the receptionist says the mayor is ready, enter his office through the door on her right. Let the short ending finish.
I recommend doing this first. After the credits, choose New Game and leave reception normally for the full story. If you already left for town, finish your current run before starting again for this opening-room trophy.
silver · missable
Mow the grass
On your first visit to the square, go down-left into the park and speak to the gardener. Jump the fence and slap the red mower to use it. Move back and forth across the grass until you reach and cut the pair of flowers at the bottom. Finish the scene and get off the mower for the trophy.
Do this before dropping into Charlie's hole for the first time. If you've already moved on and the mowing scene is no longer available, recover it on a new run.
bronze · unmissable
Leave reception
Leave the mayor's reception through the door on the left to enter Barnsworth. The trophy unlocks as you go outside. If you're following my route, do this on the new game after the waiting-room ending. Knock on the mayor's closed door first for Bobby Knocker.
bronze · missable
Put Ronny in the recovery position
Finish the first pub cellar scene and escape the pint glass upstairs. Let the dialogue finish, then leave for Mother Megg's Buttery Goods. Ronny is lying on the ground outside the butter shop. Slap him until he reacts and the trophy unlocks.
Do this before dropping into Charlie's hole for the first time. If Ronny is still in the pub, finish that scene first. If you've already left the square and missed him, this is a short early-game pickup on a new run.
Meet Jasper in the chip shop and hear his spanner request. Outside, knock on both closed house doors in the chip shop's row, damage the postbox and wake the mice behind the building. At Price Shaggers, empty all three shelf levels for A Fine Mess.
Use the stepladder in the alley to the shop's right, climb the telegraph pole and drop down the chimney. Leave the room through the right window. In the garden, knock on the shed and the white house door. Drop into the well, hear the creatures' conversation, then break the right wall. Slap the tap in the fish shop to restore the water. Work through the whole fish display for visit one of Done Up Like a Kipper. Jasper collects the spanner and opens your exit.
Enter Sam's Hams, use the red staff doorway and work through the grinder. Outside, finish the market's two postboxes, its two closed doors and its singing mice using No Post on Thuesdays, Bobby Knocker and The Rat Pack. Enter the food van for visit one of Cheek to Cheek.
Speak to Big Ron about the meat. Use the gap above the food van to reach the garden and turn on the hose tap. Leave through the upper-right fence gap to the river, cross the rooftops and break through the cracked roof. On the grass by the garage, slap the tree with a hole in it and hear the owl's whole conversation. Hit the blue house's postbox and door to finish those lists. Enter the white house, climb the ladder and jump on the clogged gutter to return to the square.
Hear the new pub conversation, check Nick's changing shop and speak to the policeman. Return through Charlie's hole to Jasper for the next tool request.

Damage every postbox
Slap all six postboxes until each is visibly damaged. The route reaches them in three areas.
| Area | Postboxes |
|---|---|
| First square | Beside Charlie near the No Ball Games sign. Beside Nick's furniture shop, left of the van. |
| Chip shop and houses | In the chip shop car park. Outside the blue house after leaving the garage reached through the roof. |
| Market | Beside Big Ron's flower bed. Outside the bank near the crossword man. |
The blue-house box is last on the Roadmap route. If the trophy does not appear there, check the list against the boxes you hit. Revisit any that remain reachable before advancing the story.

Hit every closed door
Knock on nine closed doors. I use three slaps on each and wait for the response before moving on.
| Area | Doors |
|---|---|
| Reception | The mayor's closed door to the receptionist's right, before leaving on the full story run. |
| First square | The chicken shop's shutter. |
| Chip shop | Both closed house doors in the same row as the shop. |
| Garden | The gardener's shed and the white house's front door. |
| Market | The closed All Abroad Travel entrance and the shutter to the right of Big Ron's Big Pies. |
| After the garage | The blue house's closed door beside its postbox. |
The last door should unlock the trophy if all earlier knocks registered. The reception door is an early deadline, so do it before leaving. Starting a new run just to knock there does not replace checking the complete sequence on that run.

Find all the singing mice
Find the three groups of singing mice. Each group has two rubbish bags and a bin. Slap all three hiding places in quick succession so the mice are out together, then stay for the song.
The market song finishes the trophy. If a mouse slips back inside before the others emerge, repeat the three slaps more quickly. The first group also contributes to Friend of the Forest.
bronze · missable
Help Keri stack the shelves
Enter Price Shaggers on the first trip out of the chip shop. Keri asks you to help with the shelves. Climb across all three levels and slap every product off them. The trophy appears when the shelves are cleared.
Check the top shelf if it hasn't unlocked. Finish this on the first visit before leaving through the alley. Later story changes can remove the opportunity.
Find the screwdriver through Price Shaggers' shelves and attic using Open For Business. Return to Jasper afterwards so he asks for the hammer.
Take the alley chimney back to the garden. Slap Charlie while he is stuck in the fence for Lights Out. Use the well passage to visit the fishmonger a second time. Hit the new display items and let him finish thanking you before leaving.
Return to Sam's Hams. Slap the large meat on the counter to enter the meat room. Hit all 17 pieces before using the central mouth for Final Form. At the pie shop, call the delivery, put the flour into the machine and finish Enough For Everyone. Speak to Rog at the vegetable shop, then make the second food-van visit.
Chase the watch seller into the alley and release the bean man using The Beans are on the Windowsill!. Slap the six seagulls in the locations listed there. Return to the bean man, take his new toilet passage and use the cellar's right entrance to reach the pub. Listen to the new conversation and check the policeman.
At Nick's, break the damaged wall for the next part of Everything Must Go. If the mole invitation is still missing, check the moving soil in the park now. Return through Charlie's hole and the alley chimney. Read the next stage before jumping on anything in the garden.
bronze · unmissable
Bake a big pie
At Big Ron's pie shop, after the meat errand, slap the telephone to call the delivery. Knock the top box off the delivery trolley, move the flour box into the machine and enter it. Follow the repeated input to finish the giant pie. The trophy unlocks with the completed pie.
bronze · missable
Bully Charlie
After finding the screwdriver and returning to Jasper for his hammer request, take the alley chimney beside Price Shaggers back to the garden. Before entering the well, go to the upper-right fence. Charlie is stuck there while two children bother him.
Slap Charlie's head and let the children's reaction play out. This unlocks the trophy. Do it during this encounter, as the later garden scene removes him from the fence.
bronze · unmissable
Satiate Brigadier Bean Tin
After the giant pie and Rog's vegetable-shop scene, slap the watch stall in the market alley and follow the seller. Hit the large bin, then climb from the fallen metal bin onto the stepladder and balconies. At the highest window, push the tin of beans off the sill. That awards the trophy.
To continue the story, enter the opened bin and speak to Brigadier Bean Tin. He wants six seagulls. Slap the birds beside his bin, on the giant pie, on Rog's vegetable box, on the fish behind the crossword man, on the burger beside the food van, and at the Oily Baps trolley. Return to him afterwards. His toilet flush opens the route to the pub cellar. If that passage is closed, one of the birds is still waiting.
bronze · missable
Help Nick open a new shop
Nick's shop is at the lower-left of the first square. On your first visit, slap the shutter to help him open Nick's Bricks. Revisit whenever you return to the square and let his scene finish as the stock disappears.
After the bean and seagull errand, the wall has large gaps. Slap the remaining bricks to expose the furnished room behind it. Nick changes the shop to sell second-hand furniture and the trophy unlocks. If the wall is still solid, advance the current errand and check again on your next circuit. Keep returning afterwards to set up Spill the Beans.
bronze
Find all of Sam's meat bits
On the second market visit, after the screwdriver, enter Sam's Hams and slap the large meat on the counter. In the meat room, work around the whole space and slap all 17 pieces before approaching the mouth in the centre. Include the pieces around the outer edges.
Once the central creature opens its mouth, enter it to finish the transformation and unlock the trophy. If the mouth stays closed, circle the room again for an untouched piece. Clear the room before leaving so no return is needed.
As the camera looks through the garden-side window, walk left to visit the couple for Ménage à trois. Do this before bouncing on the fertiliser sack.
Jump on the sack and follow the washing line sequence for Cream of the Crop. Escape the plant pot, leave the shed and use the upper-right fence gap. Enter the fishing bait box to retrieve the underwater hammer. Jasper collects it. At the end of the tree, hear the duck's full conversation. If the earlier four animal groups are complete, Friend of the Forest unlocks here.
Continue over the rooftops and drop into the garage area. Destroy the newly grown flowers for Green Fingers before leaving. Return along the shop street to Marge's Chippo and speak to Jasper. Enter the fryer and repeatedly press until Open For Business unlocks.
bronze · unmissable
Fix the Fryer
Jasper repairs the chip shop's fryer with three tools. Return to him after each collection so the next request begins.
Return to the chip shop, enter the fryer and repeatedly press . The repair and trophy complete together. If a tool route is not open, speak to Jasper again before retracing it. Roadmap places the optional encounters between these trips.
bronze · unmissable
Grow a lovely tomato
On the garden visit after the giant pie and bean errand, the gardener is struggling with fertiliser. Before helping him, walk left from the window view for Ménage à trois. Then jump on the sack until it launches you onto the washing line. Follow the scene through the fall back onto the fertiliser. The tomatoes grow and the trophy unlocks.
gold · missable
Find all the woodland creatures
Hear all five animal groups finish their conversations during one run. Stand close and wait for the dialogue to end before leaving.
| Group | Where to stop |
|---|---|
| Singing mice | Behind the gardener in the first square. Slap the two rubbish bags and bin quickly enough to have all three mice outside together. Stay for their song. |
| Mole | The moving dirt at the park's lower-right corner. Slap it three times and hear the dinner invitation. |
| Fridge animal | In Mother Megg's Buttery Goods, use the staff entrance and enter the freezer on the left. Climb the boxes at the back and slap the top box to reveal the stoat. Let it finish speaking before pushing the butter off its shelf. |
| Owl | Slap the tree with a hole in it on the grass beside the garage, reached by breaking through the cracked roof on the first trip back from the river. |
| Ducks | At the end of the tree beside the fishing area after retrieving the hammer. |
The ducks complete the set if the earlier conversations are finished. Wake the mice again if they retreat too soon. Later missed conversations may no longer be available, so I would stop for each one when Roadmap reaches it.

Visit Polly and Paul in their home
This opportunity appears on the garden visit after the beans and seagulls. Enter through the usual chimney and window route. The camera now looks down into the garden from the couple's window, while the gardener asks for help with a fertiliser sack.
Before jumping onto the sack, walk left out of the current view. You enter Polly and Paul's room and unlock the trophy. Then return right and help the gardener. Once the sack launches you onto the washing line, this visit has passed and a missed trophy needs a replay.
bronze · missable
Go against Graham's advice
After retrieving Jasper's hammer at the river, continue right and drop through the roof hole into the area beside the garage. Flowers have appeared along the path to the houses. Follow them and slap the three plants blocking the house entrance.
If the trophy hasn't appeared, clear the remaining newly grown flowers around the approach as well. Finish before leaving this area to return to Jasper. If the plants are no longer available on a later visit, replay this circuit.
After the fryer is fixed, visit the tea boy's house and follow the Normal Milk signs to the farmer. He wants chips. Return through the white house and gutter to the square. Hear any new pub conversation and keep slapping the policeman's box after he asks you to stop for The Ol' One Two.
Enter the chicken shop and find the sick man upstairs. Slap him and try to leave to start his shopping request. Hit the bags on his long arm until it reaches the fountain, then go through Charlie's hole. This fourth trip under the plate completes The People's Princess on the route.
In the potato sack, stop pressing buttons. Wait for the full conversation and Tough Tatties before tapping to cut the potatoes. Outside the shop, wait for the bird to pick you up, then fly left to the field. Smash the bricks to expose the door, then enter and finish the hot-tub scene for Milk Shy No More.
Use the alley chimney, garden fence and rooftop route to reach Price Shaggers. Where the long arm is waiting, use the staff entrance and catch bubbles with the net to rise to the skylight. The capture scene unlocks Still at Large. The arm reaches into the shop. Go back inside, help it open the staff door, then knock the tins into its basket. Escape the shopping bag and use the chimney to return to the garden. Read the snail checklist before dropping into the well.
bronze · unmissable
Have a nice cup of tea
Once the fryer works, visit the tea boy's house and follow the Normal Milk signs. The farmer needs chips before the milk errand can progress. Return to the chip shop through the square and Charlie's hole, advancing the sick man's shopping request on the way. In the potato sack, earn Tough Tatties before cutting the potatoes.
Outside the chip shop, wait for the bird to pick you up, then fly left to return to the field. Break all three piles of bricks until a hidden door appears. Go inside and jump into the hot tub to finish the milk scene and unlock the trophy.
bronze · unmissable
Capture a notorious criminal
After the milk errand, reach Price Shaggers where the sick man's long arm is waiting. Enter the back room through the staff entrance. Catch bubbles with the net until you float up to the skylight and capture Bootleg Bill. The capture scene awards the trophy. Return to the shop afterwards to finish filling the arm's shopping basket.
bronze · unmissable
Smash a commemorative plate
The plate sits above the pipe between Charlie's hole and the chip shop. Each trip beneath it shifts it closer to the edge. On this route, you pass beneath it after freeing Charlie, while returning for the next tools, after the bean errand and finally on the potato trip. It falls on the fourth pass and the trophy unlocks. Keep using the hole when Roadmap returns you to Jasper.
bronze · missable
Watch Bobby's Party Trick
Find the police box across from The Thumbitt Inn in the first square. Slap it and hear Bobby's response whenever the route brings you past. After the fryer has been repaired, keep knocking even after he tells you to stop. Continue through his replies until he throws eggs at you and the trophy unlocks.
If he only gives his earlier dialogue, finish the current story errand and try again on the next return. Check once more on the final square visit before taking the soup upstairs.
bronze · missable
Help Marge chop her Chippies
During the milk errand, return to Marge's Chippo through Charlie's hole and enter the potato sack. Once inside, stop pressing buttons and let the potatoes finish their conversation. Wait for the trophy notification before tapping to start cutting.
Pressing early interrupts this one-time conversation. If the cutting scene has already started without the trophy, you will need to replay to this point.
In the garden, crush all six above-ground snails for Shell Shocked. Only then follow the seventh into the well. That drop closes your chance to reach the garden snails on this circuit.
Hear the mole withdraw his invitation for Mole Supper. Take the passage into the fish shop and finish the third display visit for Done Up Like a Kipper. Before leaving the market, enter the food van for the third and final time for Cheek to Cheek.
Use the bean man's bin and toilet passage to reach the pub cellar again. Go up through the barrel pipe and let the final bar conversation finish for Think F.A.S.T.. Back outside, finish The Ol' One Two if needed, then spill the man's beans in Nick's emptied shop for Spill the Beans.
Check your trophy list before taking the soup to the sick man. You should have only the soup delivery, normal ending and platinum left. Finish any action still available in the square now. An earlier missed encounter may need a new run, so don't expect the credits to reopen town.
Push the soup across the sick man's bed for Breakfast In Bed, then follow the final musical sequence through the credits for Thank Goodness it's Over! and Barnsworth's Best.
platinum
Unlocked all other trophies
Unlock the other 32 trophies. I would take the waiting-room ending first, then follow Roadmap for the full story run. If the credits roll without the platinum, compare the remaining trophies with their individual solutions. There is no chapter select, so an expired encounter needs a new run.
bronze · unmissable
Go soup shopping
On the final return to the square, enter the chicken shop and go upstairs to the sick man's bed. Push the soup bowl across to him. This finishes the delivery and unlocks the trophy.
Do the final pub conversation, Nick's beans and the policeman before delivering it. This is the last story errand, so don't leave optional actions for a postgame return.
gold · unmissable
Finish the game
Finish the soup delivery, then play through the closing musical sequence and let the credits begin. This is the normal story ending. The short ending from waiting in reception does not replace it.
gold · missable
Kick a man when he's down
Finish Nick's furniture-sale sequence from Everything Must Go first. On the last return to the square, after the snail and final fish-shop scenes, enter his now-empty shop. The man inside is cooking beans. Slap them onto the floor to unlock the trophy.
If furniture still blocks the scene, the earlier shutter or damaged-wall interaction has not been completed. Check Everything Must Go while those stages remain available. Do this before taking the soup upstairs.
gold · missable
Satisfy a fishmonger
Visit the fishmonger three times in the same story run. On the first two visits, slap every item in the display, including the cigarette packets, until the fish have cigarettes in their mouths and the fishmonger finishes thanking you.
Don't leave as soon as you find the story item. If the last fish does not produce the reaction, recheck the current display. A missed earlier visit can require replaying the sequence from a new game.
silver · missable
Harrass a service worker
Visit the food van in the market on three separate circuits. Use its open window to get inside, slap the occupant and keep going until you are thrown out and the window closes.
The third ejection unlocks the trophy. A closed window means that visit is finished. Return at the next story stage. If an earlier visit was skipped and the last encounter does not unlock it, replay all three on a new run.
silver · missable
An invitation rescinded
Early in the story, find the moving dirt in the park at the lower-right of the first square. Slap it three times and let the mole finish inviting you to dinner. Do this before the later garden and well sequence.
After crushing the garden snails near the end, drop into the well and speak to the mole. He withdraws the invitation, which unlocks the trophy. You don't need to find a spouse or bring a dinner item. If he never invited you, the final conversation cannot complete this sequence and you will need a new run.
silver · missable
Learn about Larry's favourite drinks
The pub is The Thumbitt Inn, on the right side of the first square. Its conversations advance with the story. Enter on each return to the square and let all new dialogue finish. Walking out and straight back in does not advance the sequence.
Use these route reminders: after the first cellar scene, after freeing Charlie, after returning from the first river trip, after the beans and seagulls, during the milk errand, and finally after the snails. Some checks may repeat dialogue. I also clear the glasses on the bar while I'm there.
On the final circuit, use the bean man's toilet passage to reach the cellar, ride the lower-right pipe upstairs and tap to escape the glass. Stay for Larry's drinks conversation. The trophy unlocks when the sequence finishes. If it doesn't, let all current dialogue play out. A skipped earlier conversation can mean replaying the story, so don't leave every pub visit until the end.
bronze · missable · collectible
Rid Sue of her snail problem
After helping the long arm finish shopping, use the alley chimney and leave the shed to reach Sue's snail problem. There are seven snails. Crush the six above ground before entering the well, as you cannot climb back up afterwards.
Check that each surface snail has burst before leaving its spot. The trophy appears after landing on the seventh. If you dropped down with one still alive in the garden, this opportunity needs another run.
