First things first: this achievement isn't cumulative, i.e., you need to have 100,000 coins in your possession at one given time for it to unlock.
The fastest way to get this is to play endless mode, and using the following boosts as suggested in other guides:
- x2 multiplier
- hints
- side by side
As the game progresses, simply put the next block at where the game asks you to... endlessly, almost. Try to do this quickly to earn the various bonuses to speed up the tedious process.
Every 100 points you score in the game gives you 1 coin. As such, to amass 100,000 coins, you'd need to score a total of 10 million points (!) in endless mode.
Few notes:
- The achievement doesn't unlock in the progress of a game. You'd need to end the game by dying for it to unlock.
- You can quit the game by simply pressing the home button back to you phone's home screen. The game will resume from where you last quit when you select to play endless mode the next time.
- Try not to use coins prior to unlocking the 100,000 coins. As mentioned, you need to have all 100,000 coins in your possession to unlock this achievement. Using coins before this would make it all the more frustrating to win this.
In the process of doing the above, you'll certainly unlock most of the other achievements in the game (drop/ destroy X number of blocks, etc.).
This will take many hours of swiping. I just gotten my 10,000th coin and I'm bored to the brink of death.
Update 20th Feb:
As suggested by OniKawazu, an alternate method is to set up the boosts as follow:
- x2 multiplier
- hints
- match them all
This negates any speed, number and color bonuses. However, it seems to increase the points faster.
Try both methods and see whichever suits you the best.
Update: 24th April:
As mentioned in the comments, it'd be best to leave the game from time to time so as the game could register for the "destroy X number of blocks") achievement. It has been reported that some players have unlocked this achievement by not leaving the game at all, only to miss out of the destruction achievement. |

An alternative "white matter-free" method is to play Endless with the x2 multiplier and match them all boosts, and just swipe down as fast as you can, ignoring any attempt to make appropriate matches. I tend to start on one side, fill a column, then move over one column and repeat, filling in gaps when they appear.
Many swipes will destroy blocks without having to think. I averaged 500 coins (5000 points) every 3 minutes and 1000 coins every 5-6 minutes, sometimes faster if I got a lucky sequence of drops. I averaged 800-900 coins per game and my high was 1810.
The obvious problem with this method is that by playing multiple games you would normally need to re-buy the boosts frequently. This would be counterproductive since you are trying to have 100K coins at once. Fortunately, I found a simple little trick to avoid this.
Buy the boosts once and play a game as described, and when you lose that game start up a new one by selecting repeat on the end-game screen. Play this next game the same way.
Now here is the important part: when you lose the second game select Main Menu, and then back out of the game using the Windows home button. Reload the game through the XBL tile, start a game of Endless and turn on the two boosts again in the pause menu.
You'll notice both boosts are now refilled (it actually looks like they are 75% full but this is normal). Now just repeat the process over and over and you'll never have to buy another boost again.
It is important not to start a third consecutive game as your boosts will be depleted at the end of it and you'll have to buy more. While this is still very tedious and boring, it was the fastest method for me and I hope it helps anyone else grinding this out. |
