How should we read the Steam list?
Steam Community stats show a title and, when present, a description line. Some entries use the description as the visible title (“Obtain the Grapple ability”). Cryptic titles without a second line are marked TBA here rather than invented.
Percentages are snapshots
All ~% figures below were captured 2026-09-02. Early post-launch rates move quickly; use them as difficulty signals, not promises.
Cross-check the live Steam Community stats page for App 3905450 if you are mopping weeks later—collection rates especially can shift as more duos finish.
No combat achievements
WheelMates has no DPS ladder. Hard unlocks are exploration, listening, and co-op patience—keep Discord (https://discord.com/invite/wheelmates) for timed braces during mop-up.
If a cryptic TBA title still will not pop after a full house sweep, document the in-game popup text when it finally appears and update your duo notes—do not trust random comment-section spoilers.

Count check
Rows above = 21. If Steam adds post-launch achievements later, this table needs a patch—do not assume the launch set forever.
Video help
Hero / embed walkthrough `uGGRegWVLgQ` helps when a level clear is the blocker. Collection misses need pins more than spoilers.
Category deep-dives follow.
Which unlocks are story / level clears?
Six level achievements form the spine. Clear rates fall hard after Hallway—treat that as a co-op quality signal.
| Level | ~% | Prep |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | 72.7% | Kitchen guide |
| Hallway | 52.5% | Keep Kitchen callouts |
| Garage | 19.2% | Garage guide |
| Neuro-Void: Fragments | 12.0% | Walkthrough outline |
| Shed | 3.3% | Late toolkit + rest |
| Backyard | 2.2% | Finish outdoor wing; then mop-up |
Story clear ≠ 100% Mates
Backyard completion is necessary for a full run but not sufficient for the umbrella achievement. Plan a collectible pass.
Ability obtains are the parallel track.
Which unlocks are ability obtains?
Five Steam ability achievements. DayOne marketing aliases (swing rope, magnetic grabber, paint gun) map here—prefer these official names in notes.
| Ability | ~% | Revisit after |
|---|---|---|
| Grapple | 79.8% | Kitchen gaps |
| Magnetic Grabber | 34.6% | Garage props / vents |
| Magnet Wheels | 17.3% | Vertical metal |
| Phase Shifter | 5.5% | Whole-house soft gates |
| Paintgun | 5.0% | Paint-gated pins |
Obtaining is not mastering
The achievement pops on unlock. The value is the revisit. Pair with abilities and hidden rooms.
Collection and misc unlocks are where most 100% runs die.
Which unlocks are collection and misc?
Collection achievements are rare. Misc / cryptic titles need live confirmation when Steam omits descriptions.
Collection core
Neuro-nodes (~0.8%), Neuro-Cores / Charge to full (~0.1%), Neuro-Memory Cards (~0.1%), scanable objects (~0.1%). Deep habits: collectibles.
Misc list
Play all mini-games (~0.6%), Break 50 items (~0.2%), Plug into an outlet (~0.2%), Ultra-Fine-tuning (~0.1%), But where is the water? (~0.1%), and 100% Mates (~0.1%).
Cryptic titles
Ultra-Fine-tuning and But where is the water? use Steam title wording as description when no second line is shown. Prefer the live popup if your client differs.
Completion plan next.
What is a clean completion plan?
Use this mid-guide plan when both players want Steam completion without a miserable double clear.
| Stuck on | Open |
|---|---|
| Early levels | Kitchen / beginner |
| Garage tools | Garage / abilities |
| Secret paths | Hidden rooms |
| Collection sets | Collectibles |
| Full order | Walkthrough |
- Do01Run 1 — Story: clear Kitchen→Backyard; bank all five ability obtains
- Do02After each ability: 10–15 min revisit (pins in Discord)
- Do03Run 1b or Run 2 — Collection: Nodes, Cores, Cards, scanables, mini-games
- Do04Misc pass: Break 50, outlet, Ultra-Fine-tuning, water oddity while free-driving
- Do05Confirm 20/21, then hunt the missing row before expecting 100% Mates
- Do06Pop 100% Mates last; do not chase it mid-story
Why two-pass works
First pass learns callouts and unlocks tools. Second pass spends tools. Trying both at once in Garage is how nights die.
What “done” looks like
All 21 Steam tiles checked, including 100% Mates—or a single documented TBA/misc leftover with a plan.
FAQ for count, solo, and timing questions.
Finish the house
Matched by build plan, shared topics, and guide progression — not random related links.
FAQ
Can I finish them in one run?
Story may finish in ~6h; full mop-up often needs secret revisits (~8h explore) and a dedicated collection pass.
Can I earn them solo?
No solo mode — both seats required Online or Split-screen.
What is 100% Mates?
Steam description: complete the game 100% and find all the collectibles.
Why are some descriptions TBA?
Public Steam stats sometimes show only a cryptic title. We do not invent missing text.
