In this guide, I show how to unlock all achievements in Leaf It Alone. I cover story-related and missable achievements, along with tips and step-by-step instructions for completing difficult objectives. I have organized the achievements by area and progression order to make it easier to follow and help you reach 100% completion.
Story-Related Achievements
These achievements are story-related and should unlock naturally as you progress through the game. None of them are missable.
Hometown
Unlock the garage area.
Clean up the Court area to unlock the Sprint ability.
Alternatively, you can clean up the Frontyard to get the Speed bonus. After that, stand in the doorway of the shed and hold the button to open the garage. Once the garage is fully open, spam the button a few times and immediately fast-walk towards the garage. You should barely make it inside.
Fun Fact: It is also possible to enter the garage using only a leaf bag, but this is quite difficult to pull off. You need to jump over the Porch fence while carrying the leaf bag.
I Am Speed
Unlock the garage area.
Clean up the Court area to unlock the Sprint ability. Alternatively, use the Speed bonus from the Frontyard to access the garage.
Shed Happens
Unlock the shed area.
Clean up the Basement area.
Vacationist
Unlock the grill area.
Clean up the Shed area.
King of the Jungle
Unlock the greenhouse area.
Clean up the Pool area.
Infiltrator
Unlock the secret area.
Clean up the Greenhouse area.
Missable Achievements
These achievements are somewhat organized by progression. I recommend looking through all of them first and planning a suitable route to unlock as many as possible in one playthrough. You will need multiple runs to get everything.
Novice Investor
Buy any item.
Buy a Leaf Bag for $0.75 from the Shed shop.
Almighty
Acquire bag tying, sprint, and crouch abilities.
You unlock these abilities by cleaning up the following areas:
- Bag Tying: Porch area.
- Sprint: Court area.
- Crouch: Swings area.
Trashketball
Dump a leaf bag while being at least 15 meters away from the trash bin.
Stand where the player is positioned in the picture, aim towards the trash bin, then walk forward and jump immediately. Throw the leaf bag while jumping to give it an extra boost and increase your chances of reaching the bin.
This is how I got the achievement.
Seal the Deal
Get 5,000 leaves into tied bags.
Self-explanatory. You need to collect 5,000 leaves in tied bags.
This achievement is optional, but I recommend upgrading your Leaf Bag to the maximum capacity of 500. This way, you only need to fill 10 bags.
Leap of Faith
Jump into a pile of 1,000 leaves.
Gather 1,000 leaves into a single pile and jump into it.
I got this achievement in the Pool area using the Leaf Blower.
Dunk Like You’re Drunk
Hit the basket with a basketball, a beach ball, and a leaf bag.
The basketball hoop is located in the Court area.
You need to hit the basket using all three items:
- Basketball: Found next to the basket.
- Beach Ball: Found in the pool in the Pool area.
- Leaf Bag: Use any filled leaf bag.

Purchase every available tool upgrade from the shop.

Earn a total of $700.
This achievement can be completed alongside Craftsman. Here is a video guide showing how to unlock both achievements in the same run.
Need for Sweep
Complete the game in under 40 minutes.
Yes, this is possible, but it can be quite frustrating. You need to learn an efficient route and prioritize the right upgrades to finish within the time limit.
Here are some tips and my personal route:
- Make backup saves as you progress.
- Pausing the game also pauses the timer.
- As soon as you load into the game, you can use the vent on the right side of the Porch (from your POV) for free money.
- Avoid buying the Fluid Picker upgrade. It will slow you down, and you can use a macro to spam the LMB instead.
My recommended route:
1. Start with the Porch to unlock the Bag Tying ability.
- Upgrade Greedy Grasp 3 times.
- Upgrade Dexterity 2 times.
- Buy the Medium Leaf Bag ($0.75).
2. Clean up the Driveway to unlock the Speed bonus.
- Upgrade Dexterity 2 times.
- Upgrade Greedy Grasp 1 time.
- Buy the Large Leaf Bag ($3.49).
3. Enter the Garage.
- Make a backup save.
- Stand in the Shed doorway and hold the button to open the garage.
- Once it is fully open, spam the button a few times and immediately fast-walk towards the garage. You should barely make it inside.
4. Clean up the Basement.
- Max out Greedy Grasp.
- Max out Dexterity.
5. Clean up the Shed.
- Save up $15 for the Pool vent.
- Buy the Rake ($7.49).
6. Head to the Pool.
- Upgrade Handle Length once.
- Use the Rake to sweep the leaves into the pool.
- Use the vent inside the pool.
7. Upgrade your tools.
- Use the vent and upgrade Leaf Stickiness once.
- While sweeping leaves towards the vent, purchase the following upgrades:
- Leaf Stickiness: 3 times.
- Sweep Radius: 1 time.
- Handle Length: 3 times.
- Save $25 for the Greenhouse vent.
8. Clean up the Greenhouse using the Rake.
- Fully upgrade the Rake.
9. Clean up the Swings area.
- Once finished, climb through the vent and continue until the end.

Don’t forget to pick up the Rake! I completely missed it the first time I cleaned up the area.

This achievement unlocks after cleaning up the Hallway area.

Tip: Instead of dragging every petal into the bowls, hover over a petal with your mouse and press the corresponding number key.
Librarian
Put all books on the bookshelf.
After unlocking the Dinette area, you will gain access to the Library.
Enter the tower inside the Library and collect all the scattered books around the room. Place every book on the bookshelf to unlock the achievement.

This achievement unlocks after cleaning up the Labyrinth area, where you can also find the puzzle.
You need to arrange the numbered tiles in the correct order to complete the picture (1, 2, 3, 4, and so on).
The puzzle layout changes with each reset, so there is no fixed solution.
Tip: When solving the last two rows, place tiles 9 and 13 in their correct positions first. Then arrange 10 and 14, followed by 11 and 15.
Alternatively, you can use this online solver. Enter the numbers from your puzzle and follow the instructions.
Thanks to BurningKat for mentioning this tool.
