Poker Night at the Inventory is already a weird little crossover fever dream. You’re sitting down to play Texas Hold’em with characters who absolutely should not exist in the same room, trading jokes while slowly trying to bankrupt each other. But once you start chasing the game’s achievements, that card game turns into something a little more strategic. You’re hunting for very specific hands, timing risky all-ins, and keeping an eye on when opponents buy back into the tournament.
Some achievements unlock naturally as you play, while others require a bit of planning and a bit of luck. This guide breaks down every achievement in Poker Night at the Inventory and explains the easiest ways to unlock them.
All Achievements And How To Unlock Them
Here is each achievement, how to unlock it, and tips to do it quickly.
|
Game Achievement |
How To Unlock Achievement |
Tips To Unlock It |
|---|---|---|
|
Win a Game |
Win a full poker tournament against the AI players. |
Avoid big risks. Let the AI knock each other out before committing large bets. We have a full beginner’s tip guide that may help. |
|
Flush |
Win a hand where your final winning combination is a flush (five cards of the same suit). |
Play suited starting hands more often. If you get four suited cards after the flop, stay in to try to complete the flush. |
|
Slow Play |
Check during your turn while holding a pat hand (a made hand you don’t need to draw cards for). |
When you’re confident you already have a strong hand like two pair or better, check instead of betting to trigger the achievement. |
|
Kicker Trouble |
Win a showdown where both players have the same pair or better, but your extra card (kicker) makes the difference. |
Play hands with high side cards like A-K or A-Q. If both players pair the same rank, the higher kicker can win it. |
|
Summer of ’69 |
Win a hand holding a 6 and a 9 as part of your cards. |
If you’re dealt a 6 and 9, stay in the hand unless the betting becomes extreme. You only need to win the pot once. |
|
Rushing |
Win three straight pots in the same game. |
Play aggressively after winning a pot. The AI sometimes folds more often if you keep raising pressure. |
|
12 Days of Christmas |
Win at least 12 individual hands during a single match. |
Fold weak hands. The match lasts long enough that small wins will add up. |
|
Straight |
Win a hand using a straight (five sequential card ranks). |
Keep hands with connected cards like 7-8 or 10-J. These have better odds of forming a straight. |
|
Full House |
Win a hand using a full house (three of one rank and two of another). |
If you already have a pair, staying in through the draw phase can sometimes convert into a full house. |
|
Triple Through |
Go all-in and win the pot against two or more opponents at once. |
This is easiest when your chip stack is low and multiple players call. Wait for a strong hand before pushing all-in. |
|
Rags to Riches |
Win a showdown with nothing but a high card (no pair or better). |
Bluff heavily when the board looks weak. If opponents fold or reveal weaker high cards, you can win the pot. |
|
Three Wise Men |
Win a hand with three kings (three-of-a-kind). |
Don’t fold if you start with a pair of kings. Draw cards strategically to chase the third king. |
|
Down to the Green |
Win consecutive all-in pots against at least one opponent. |
This usually happens when you’re short-stacked. Push all-in with strong hands when another player is willing to call. |
|
Special Item: Max |
Eliminate Max after he buys in using his unique item. |
Let him rebuy after losing once, then focus on knocking him out again. |
|
Special Item: The Heavy |
Knock The Heavy out after he returns with his special buy-in item. |
Play cautiously when his chip stack is large after rebuying; wait for a strong hand before challenging him. |
|
Special Item: Strong Bad |
Defeat Strong Bad after he buys back into the tournament with his item. |
The AI tends to bluff; call selectively with medium-strong hands when he bets aggressively. |
|
Special Item: Tycho |
Knock Tycho out after he buys back into the game using his item. |
Raising when you have strong cards can force a win. |
|
Win a Game, Hard |
Win a full tournament while the difficulty is set to hard. |
Avoid bluffing too often because the AI calls more frequently on this difficulty. |
|
Deck Builder |
Unlock every card deck available in the game. |
Continue playing tournaments and defeating characters so you gradually unlock their themed decks. |
|
Table Master |
Unlock all the poker tables available. |
Progress through games and earn character items; many table unlocks come from beating opponents multiple times. |
