Is This Seat Taken? hides several quirky and cleverly placed achievements that aren’t part of the standard progression. Most of these can be unlocked by interacting with specific background objects across different levels.
If you’re a completionist or just someone who loves uncovering secrets in quiet indie games, this guide walks you through how to unlock each non-mainline achievement and hidden level, step-by-step.
Hidden Achievements & How to Unlock Them
1. Time to Take Out the Trash!
- Level: 1-1
- How to Unlock:
In the lower-left corner, there’s a trash can. Click on it repeatedly (usually around 4–6 times) until it triggers the achievement.
A simple, hidden interaction to start your hunt — just be persistent!
2. Oops!
- Level: Special level on Floor 1
- How to Unlock:
Find the long dining table in this floor’s layout and click the wine bottle placed on it. The interaction will trigger a new, secret level to unlock the achievement.
Accidents happen — especially when bottles are involved.
3. Make Noise!
- Level: 1-5
- How to Unlock:
In the level with the band playing, click on one of the musicians and replace them with a random passerby walking by.
This achievement plays with the idea of noise and chaos — and it’s one of the most fun discoveries in the early game.
4. Go Duck!
- Level: Hidden special level
- How to Unlock:
Spot the pond and click on the duck sitting there. Doing so unlocks a second secret level with a new seating scenario and unlocks this achievement.
Probably the most adorable achievement in the game.
5. You Are Not Fighting Alone
- Level: Stage 2 of Level 3-4
- How to Unlock:
Merge both home and away fans into one seating group. Once they’re together and start singing simultaneously, click on the football that appears near them.
This one’s all about unity — and football.
6. Get Paper and Pen
- Level: 4-2
- How to Unlock:
Find the teacher’s desk and click on the drawer. It doesn’t open immediately, so keep clicking until the drawer slides open and triggers the achievement.
A simple act of curiosity leads to this hidden reward.
7. Do You Want to Play with Sand?
- Level: Hidden beach level
- How to Unlock:
In this sun-drenched level, look for the sandcastle on the beach and click it once. That’s it — enjoy the final hidden scene and your unlocked achievement.
A calm and satisfying end to your hidden achievement hunt.
Tips for Finding More Secrets
- Many interactables don’t give visual hints, so be sure to click around objects even if they don’t highlight.
- Certain achievements only unlock after triggering small environmental changes (like fans singing or swapping NPCs).
- Some secret levels are only accessible once per playthrough, so replay if needed.
While these achievements aren’t required to finish the game, they add a fun layer of discovery that fits perfectly with the game’s slow-paced, observational gameplay. Whether you’re just cleaning up your checklist or trying to unlock everything possible, this guide should help you tick off all the secret achievements with ease.
If future updates introduce new levels or interactables, this guide will be updated accordingly.
